They Called Me A Failed Daughter—Then My Name Appeared On Times Square

They Called Me A Failed Daughter—Then My Name Appeared On Times Square
@Revenge Zone
"Another failed interview?" Mom's voice dripped with disappointment as I walked into our weekly family dinner. "Maybe if you'd worn the suit I picked out instead of those cheap clothes..."
I glanced down at my "cheap" outfit - a deliberately understated designer ensemble that cost more than their mortgage payment. But they didn't need to know that. Not yet.
"The interview went fine," I said quietly, taking my seat at the far end of the table - the designated spot for the family disappointment.
"Fine doesn't pay bills," Dad chimed in, not looking up from his phone. "Your sister Caroline just made partner at her law firm. That's what success looks like."
Caroline preened from her place of honor next to Mom. "Actually, I just closed a huge merger deal. Anderson Tech is acquiring my client's company."
I bit back a smile. Anderson Tech - my company, though they didn't know that. The acquisition she was so proud of? I'd signed those papers this morning, right before my "failed interview."
"See?" Mom gestured at Caroline with her wine glass. "That's a real career. Not whatever startup nonsense you're chasing."
My phone buzzed silently - a message from my CFO: "Times Square billboard goes live at 8 PM. All media outlets confirmed."
"Speaking of careers," Caroline smirked, "my firm is hiring paralegals. Even you could probably handle that."
Dad finally looked up. "That's a good idea. Time to stop this entrepreneur fantasy and get a real job."
If they only knew that my "fantasy" had just become the youngest female CEO to ring the opening bell at the stock exchange. That their precious Caroline's law firm was about to become one of my subsidiaries.
"I'll think about it," I said, checking the time. 7:55 PM.
