I came home from a business trip to find my parents’ house empty. My sister had secretly put them in a nursing home and planned to sell their home behind my back. Furious, I confronted her, but she was smug, dismissing the emotional value of the house and our parents’ well-being.
Emily had always been selfish, ashamed of our upbringing and the sacrifices our parents made. When I left town, I asked her to check on them, but she neglected her duty, and I found out she was selling their home to cash in on it.
I decided to outsmart her. I pretended to agree with the sale and brought in a lawyer, Robert, to pose as a buyer. At a party, Robert exposed her fraud, revealing that the sale was illegal and that she could face criminal charges.
In the end, my parents came home, and Emily lost everything—her job, her friends, and her reputation. I never heard from her again, and now, our parents are back in their house, just as they should be.
