After My Vicious Sister-in-law Bullied Me

4

The whole family froze on the spot. Tony immediately stood up and demanded to know what I meant by this.

The previously harmonious atmosphere was shattered, and Jason and Mary looked even more displeased.

"Lydia, haven't you caused enough trouble?" Jason asked with a dark expression.

"Doing this in front of outsiders? Do you have to make a scene and disrupt the family?" he added, clearly annoyed.

Okay, so now they were blaming me for causing trouble.

I suppressed my anger.

It was frustrating to feel so insignificant. To them, I didn't even matter as much as a stranger.

They could warmly welcome this newly arrived girl, but no one cared about my feelings.

"You said I was living of my parents, right? Let's see who's really living of my parents," I said, placing the bank statements in front of Jason and Mary.

"And since you've been living in my room all these years, let's settle the accounts properly today."

Jason and Mary knew about the statements. Every month, I had given them a significant amount of money.

They were clearly embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Tony also knew, but Jessica was completely shocked, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"How is that possible? Where did a college student get so much money?"

Jessica suddenly seemed to understand, looking at me with disdain.

"These must be fake. You're trying to deceive me with these, aren't you?" she accused.

I didn't even bother to respond to her, keeping my gaze fixed on Jason and Mary.

"You two should go through the statements and see if there's any issue."

Jason and Mary sat there, speechless, but Tony slammed the table angrily.

"Lydia, how did we end up raising such an ungrateful person like you?

"Mom and Dad raised you, and now you're calculating the cost with them?"

His outburst was filled with guilt.

It was clear that even Tony knew where the money came from.

Yet, despite knowing this, he still went along with the plan to kick me out, which only made me more determined.

Today, this must be resolved.

"You can never repay the debt of being raised by Mom and Dad, no matter how much money you make!"

Jessica chimed in, emboldened by Tony's words.

"You think you're something special just because you make some money?

"Without Mom and Dad, you'd have starved long ago. You're an ungrateful brat."

He added, looking at me with contempt. The whole family now looked at me as if I were an enemy.

Their unified stance made it clear that I was the outsider here.

Hearing their righteous scolding, I found it laughable.

Sure, my parents had raised me, but only to the extent that I wasn't left to starve.

They always believed that daughters would marry off eventually and were therefore not worth investing in.

They even hesitated to let me go to school, thinking it a waste of money.

While I never had new clothes as a child, Tony got new outfits regularly and attended the best schools, regardless of the cost.

Our lives had always been worlds apart.

And now, using my money, Tony had the audacity to scold me.

I looked at him with a cold smile.

"I may never be able to repay Mom and Dad, but I don't owe you anything. Let's settle this!"

I declared firmly, not backing down at all.

Since the situation had escalated, there was no point in holding back.

"Over the years, you've spent more than a million of my money!

"You've been living in my villa for so long. Charging you fifty thousand for rent isn't unreasonable, is it? Now, pay me the money.

"If you can't, then move out immediately!"
