No Job, No Money

I pulled out a calculator and pressed a few numbers. "Oh, my! The money I've spent on your sister during the last few years has far exceeded the 70 thousand dollars I had in my PayPal account!"

Gregory finally realized why I was making these mocking remarks. He snapped, "Jess is renovating her yard! Once it's done, it'll make things more comfortable for us when we visit her place.

"We just used some of your money. Why are you being so fussy about it? Jess is like a mother to me too. In the past, she—"

I had no interest in listening to what Gregory had to say. I cut him off and said scornfully, "So, she's like a mother to you…

"When I needed to undergo surgery for appendicitis, I asked you to transfer 20 thousand dollars to my account immediately. Yet, you gave the money to Jess so that she could buy a bag that cost 25 thousand dollars. I almost died because of a gastrointestinal rupture!

"I wanted to spend two thousand dollars so that Harry could get a health checkup. Yet, you spent five thousand dollars on a health checkup for Holly instead. Fortunately, Harry went for a checkup. Otherwise, he might have died because of the flu!

"This time, my Uncle Patrick needed to borrow money from me for an emergency. You knew how his family had always been kind to us. Yet, you gave all that money to Jess without my knowledge!

"Gregory, you and your sister share a close relationship. She's been staying at our place for months without paying a single penny for food or rent. Did she ever bother getting some groceries for us in return?

"She used my money for her entertainment. I even had to wash her dirty underwear. Am I your fucking nanny?"

Gregory's eyes were bloodshot. He seemed a little stunned after being shouted at by me.

Then, he flung the diaper I had taken off Harry not too long ago at me. Harry wailed in fear.

"Sasha, our society has always stressed the importance of family duty! Are you trying to make me a bad brother by making me ignore my own sister? Besides, Jess didn't even spend that much of your money for you to be making such a big fuss about it!"

I was making a big fuss about it?

I nodded and snickered, "Yeah, she hasn't spent that much money… She's simply used up all the money I saved for my family's use!"

Even the money I had put aside for emergencies, like when Harry fell sick, was used by Gregory to buy clothes for his niece, Holly Jarvis.

"Fine. If you care about Jess so much and want to be a good brother so badly, you can look for a job yourself! You should hold onto those values of family duty! Or we can just get a divorce. I'm useless now since I've lost my job."

The muscles on Gregory's face twitched since he was exasperated. This was the first time I had expressed such strong emotions.

"Why you! Sasha Turner, how dare you ask for a divorce? Just wait and see!"

Gregory and Jessica stormed off, slamming the front door behind them. Eventually, I managed to calm Harry down.

After I packed our things, I took Harry to a five-star hotel, where we enjoyed the full VIP guest treatment.
