A Man Caught His Wife Having an Affair with His ‘Golden’ Brother at Their Family’s Vacation Home — He Pretended Not to Know, but the Next Evening, They Showed Up at His Door, Shouting, ‘What the Hell Have You Done?!’

I laughed.

“Of course you do.”

“Don’t be like that. I just need you to contact the contractor who worked on the lake house.”

“His number is in the family contact list.”

“Can’t you just call him?”

“No.”

“Seriously?”

“Seriously.”

He hung up.

I smiled for the first time that morning.

It wasn’t much of a revenge.

But it was a start.

Then, three days later, an email arrived from Kai’s company.

The subject line read:

REQUEST FOR PROJECT CONTRIBUTION VERIFICATION

I stared at it for a long moment.

They wanted to confirm who had developed the financial model behind the proposal.

I could have ignored the email.

I could have protected Kai one more time.

Instead, I responded honestly, attached the relevant records, and explained precisely which portions of the work I’d created and which decisions Kai had made.

I didn’t call him a thief.

I didn’t ask for his job.
