Love the Right One

I felt her hand stiffen.

She didn't expect me to say this, but she quickly agreed, "Okay, let's live together."

Stephan was not happy and said, "Six people living in such a small place? How can we live together?"

We fell into silence.

After a while, Stella broke the silence.

"If you don't do anything, I'll help Eva clean up the room."

Mary grabbed her and said, "Have you ever done housework since you were a child? What should you clean up the room?"

I watched this wonderful play and sneered.

"Okay, I'll move out. The apartment I bought after graduation is still empty. I'll move in there."

Just as I was about to stand up, Johnson stopped me.

What about me moving out?"

He looked at Mary, then at Stella.

He murmured, "Stephan's sister is living in your apartment with her boyfriend now. It's not a good idea for you to live there."

"What did you say?" I almost didn't react.

I never expected that they would feel at ease to let others live in the house I bought without asking for my opinion.

"What about the one in the Verdant community? I paid for its renovation. I'm going to live there. Give me the key."

Johnson turned his face away and didn't respond, but Mary started crying.

"Eva, you ask for things as soon as you get home. You just want to show off to us by saying that you bought the houses and paid for the decoration. I am so miserable. I raised a daughter like you for nothing!"

She always acted like this.

Whenever I made my request, Mary started crying and blaming me. I used to be soft-hearted because I felt it was unnecessary to be mean to my family.

And now I knew they were hypocritical.

My face turned pale.

I said loudly, "Mom, stop crying. Do you think I will bear it if you cry? I'm telling you, I won't be soft-hearted again!

"And even if I'm showing off, so what? Didn't I buy the houses? Or did I not pay for the renovation? What I said is the truth!

"I have contributed money and effort to our family, but today I am homeless. I have had enough!"

Now they knew I was serious, and Mary stopped crying.

They just wanted to drive me away and make me go back to work so that they could get more money from me.

Since we'd started a dispute, I didn't mind making a bigger fuss.

"I tell you, this house is mine, and you are the ones who should leave!"

Stephan, who was standing by, muttered, "I have never seen a woman who is not married in her thirties go back home to ask for her parents' house. It's outrageous."

I sneered and rolled my eyes at him.

"That's because you're lacking knowledge and experience."

When Stephan was scolded, Stella also turned cold and said unkindly, "Eva, how can you talk to Stephan like that? Haven't I been good to you? Are you going to drive me away too?"

I looked at her and smiled, saying, "You think I don't know what you are thinking?

"Stella, I bought two houses. You took one for the convenience of your son to go to school and one for your husband's family to live in. How come you say this after taking all the benefits?

"Do you think you are kind to me after saying a few nice words to me? If you're nice to me, return the houses to me, ask Stephan to buy a house, and move out with your family!"

Stella looked grim instantly.

She no longer pretended but pointed at my nose and scolded me.

"Eva, you're a piece of junk that no one wants! Neither of these two houses is under your name. Do you think you can get them back? You're dreaming!

"And you have to support your parents. Otherwise, I will go to court with Mom and Dad to sue you and ruin your reputation. Let's see who will dare to marry you then!"

Looking at them, I shook my head silently and decided not to argue with them.

After all, I still had 500 million dollars. Things that could be solved with money were not a big deal.

I finally asked, "So, do you insist on asking me to move out?"

"Yes! Get out of here right now. There is no place for you in this house."

Johnson was already impatient and was about to take out a stick to chase me away.

"Okay, I can leave today. If you sever ties with me, I will leave immediately and never come back."

Mary stopped crying and said with a look of disgust, "Do it if you want. Do you think we want you as our daughter?

"You are over 30 and still not married. I feel embarrassed when I go out. I told others that you'd died outside. I don't have a daughter like you."

"Okay."

Even though I knew how heartless they were, tears filled my eyes.

As a layer, I quickly took out a pen and paper, wrote an agreement, and asked them to sign it.

Stella checked carefully and found nothing related to the house before asking our parents to sign.

I picked up my suitcase, turned around, and left.

I said, "From now on, I will be without parents or any relatives. We will sever our ties and have no further contact until we die!"
