At The Family Meeting They Called Me "Poor"—Then I Showed Them The Real Estate Contract

The Ashcroft family’s monthly dinners were less about food and more about financial peacocking. This evening, in the sprawling estate outside Napa Valley, promised to be especially unbearable. I took my usual seat near the fireplace, quietly observing while my cousins competed to see who could brag the loudest.
“Just bought a ranch in Jackson Hole,” Preston drawled, swirling his wine. “Right next to the guy who owns half of Silicon Valley.”
“Please,” scoffed Cassandra, flipping her designer clutch open with a flourish. “We just closed on a vineyard in Tuscany. Private access to the Med. You can’t even put a price on that kind of view.”
I hid my smile behind my glass of iced tea. If only they knew.
“Nora,” Aunt Evelyn’s voice cut sharply across the table. “You’ve been awfully quiet.”
Preston leaned in, his faux sympathy dripping. “We were just wondering about your living situation.”
And there it was.
