Chapter 10 - MY MONEY WAS NOT THE STORYPeople assumed Marcus stayed with Sarah for family money.
Wrong.
Our parents left us comfortable, not fabulously wealthy.
Sarah inherited about $900,000 between insurance, investments, and part of our parents’ home sale.
Most was gone.
Not because Marcus stole all of it.
House purchase.
Medical bills.
Failed business venture.
Living expenses.
Some questionable transfers to Marcus’s contracting company.
Enough to matter.
Not a secret fortune.
My wealth came later.
Surgery.
Investments.
A medical-device company stake.
The mountain house made strangers think every problem involved millions.
