anyone get away with things, so I ignored Mom
and pointed right at Brittany.
“You’re the one who shouldn’t be here. You’re
the bastard. Do you think I don’t know?”
Dad was shocked. He never expected me to
know about Brittany’s past.
But he quickly recovered.
“Your mother knows about Brittany. Even if
she’s not my kid, she’s still better than you.
Your birth was shady and disgusting. Brittany’s
just a poor kid. You’re not the same!”
Of course, we’re not the same.
She’s the product of love, and I’m the result of
a plot.
Grandma asked urgently, “What’s going on
here?”

Dad told everyone, “I found Brittany on the side
of the road with Carol. We felt sorry for her, so
we brought her home. We said she was our
biological child because we didn’t want her to
get treated badly. I have a clear conscience!”
Since Mom didn’t say anything, everyone
assumed Dad was telling the truth.
Grandma hobbled over to Dad and grabbed his
arm.
“Don’t say things you’ll regret.”
Dad still played the good guy, his eyes turning
red. “Mom, I can take anything, but I can’t take
this humiliation. She can mess around with
anyone she wants, but how could she sleep with
her own family-”
Dad cut himself off, realizing it didn’t sound
right.

He wasn’t the broke kid he used to be, he had
money and a little bit of fame, so he wasn’t going to let this go.
Aunt Carol chimed in. “You can accept Brittany,
who’s not related to us at all. Can’t you give Ashley a break?”
On the other side, the relatives kept telling Mom:
“Sweetie, don’t just cry. Apologize to him, you’re family, you can work through this.”
“You messed up, you should have told him the truth. Try to get his forgiveness.”
“Think about Ashley, you can’t let the family fall apart.”
“That’s right, or how will Ashley face people?
You can’t be so stubborn. You’re not feeling
well, you need to give in.”

At that moment, thousands of people joined the
live stream. The comments were full of attacks
on Mom.
“This is so messed up, worse than anything I’ve
ever seen.”
“The fact that her family is still siding with the husband shows that he’s a good person. Women are never satisfied.”
“In the old days, this woman would be drowned
in a river.”
“That poor Ashley got stuck with a mother like
that.”
Mom stared at Dad and Brittany.
“I never did anything to hurt you. The biggest
mistake I ever made was bringing Brittany
home.”
Brittany kent her head down and cried “I know I

Brittany kept her head down and cried. “I know I shouldn’t have betrayed my own mother, but I didn’t want to hurt Dad anymore.”
Dad snapped, “Cut the crap. I’m going to have
my assistant print out the divorce papers right
now.”
