My mother shrieked in disbelief while Rosalie wildly accused me of hiring an actor to ruin her special day. Thaddeus Senior quickly silenced the bride, terrified of losing the massive Prescott Global bailout standing between his family and federal indictment. Zachary coldly confirmed his team had prepared the final buyout paperwork, but he was immediately pulling the offer after watching the family of the bride publicly abuse his wife. He informed the terrified father of the groom that Prescott Global would short their remaining stock on Monday morning, effectively bankrupting the Fairchild empire. As Rosalie collapsed into a velvet chair sobbing, my chief of staff Alistair marched into the ballroom holding heavily encrypted tablets. He reported a two hundred billion dollar exposure crisis as European bond markets entered a massive freefall. I immediately shifted into my professional role, instructing Alistair to execute a sweeping buy order through our shadow accounts to gain controlling interest in three major European banks. My parents watched in absolute horror as they realized my true identity.
My father finally understood that his clumsy daughter had just dictated the financial fate of a continent without breaking a sweat. He desperately attempted to apologize, suggesting we could sit down to discuss investment opportunities as a real family. I gently explained that I never lied about my career, but merely allowed them to believe their own foolish assumptions because they needed a scapegoat to feel successful. I firmly rejected their apologies by stating we shared genetics and nothing more. Zachary and I then walked out of the ballroom and flew away on a private executive helicopter from the hotel roof. By the following week, the Fairchild family bankruptcy went public, Rosalie filed for an annulment, my father was forced into early retirement, and my mother was removed from her charity boards. I muted their frantic apologies on my phone and simply moved on with my life. Today, I oversee stable global markets from my penthouse office, surrounded only by people who respect my mind.
