My Mom, the Real Bloodsucker
Mom stood tall, beaming, going around the table clinking glasses with every relative in sight.
The moment the money hit the account, Uncle Keith couldn't help himself. Within three days, he'd bought himself the latest Porsche and paid cash for a house in the suburbs for Brandon.
His Instagram was a daily parade of excess, luxury dinners and designer shopping sprees, burning through cash as if it would never run out.
Mom didn't say a single word against any of it. She even seemed proud, like they'd earned every cent.
Using the new company as a front, I approached Uncle Keith's business under the guise of exploring a potential partnership.
