She Robbed Me, so I Left Her Penniless
After I succeed in helping my wife, Claire Gibson, establish her company, I decide to become a full-time stay-at-home dad without a worry in the world.
Since my daughter, Nancy Davidson's 10th birthday is coming soon, I want to make the event fancy. So, I decide to place an order on Hill Hotel's birthday banquet services, where one full table of food costs 18 thousand dollars.
When I'm swiping my card, the hotel employee shoots me a look.
"Mr. Davidson, your card can barely foot for a 500-dollar bill."
Embarrassed, I go home and question Claire about the family's finances. She looks at me apologetically instead.
"My company has been participating in a bidding process lately. The newly-appointed governmental senior official is a greedy one, you see. I've spent quite a lot of money in bribing him just to get things done.
"Once my cash flow is back, I'll definitely throw Nancy a fancy birthday banquet!"
In a considerate manner, I tell Claire that I completely understand her situation. But soon, I start calculating the assets I still have.
After all, my dad is the newly-appointed official. There aren't any bidding processes going on in the government at all.
I'd like to see where on earth Claire has spent all of her money.
