The annual Richardson family dinner was always a spectacle of wealth and passive-aggressive competition, but this year was different. I sat quietly at the end of Le Maison Blanche's finest table, watching my siblings flaunt their latest acquisitions like peacocks in designer plumage.
"And that's when I told them fifty million for the summer house was my final offer," my older sister Katherine declared, adjusting her Cartier bracelet. "I mean, the view of the Hamptons alone..."
"Speaking of property," my brother James chimed in, swirling his $800 wine, "my real estate firm just closed on that downtown development. Another hundred million in the portfolio."
Mother beamed at them from the head of the table, her diamonds catching the light from the crystal chandeliers. Father barely looked up from his phone, probably checking stock prices even during dinner.
Then there was me. Sarah Richardson, the youngest. Wearing a simple black dress from last season, no jewelry except my grandmother's old pearl necklace. The family disappointment who'd walked away from the Richardson Investment Group five years ago to "find herself."
"Sarah, darling," Katherine's voice dripped with false concern, "that dress... is it from a department store?"
"Leave her alone, Kath," James smirked. "Not everyone can afford Chanel. Some people choose to be... independent."
The way he said 'independent' made it sound like a terminal illness.
"How is your little... what do you call it?" Mother asked, frowning slightly. "Your consulting thing?"
"Investment advisory," I corrected quietly, taking a sip of water. "It's going well."
"Of course it is," Katherine snickered behind her hand. "That's why you're still living in that tiny apartment in Brooklyn."
The waiter approached our table, his expression professionally neutral. "Would anyone care to see the dessert menu?"
"We'll take one of everything," James announced grandly. "And another bottle of the Château Lafite Rothschild 1982." He shot me a pointed look. "Don't worry about the bill, little sister. We know times are tough."
