- 12.
“Mom, my cousin got ten million dollars on
bank cards. Is that normal? She’s not your
real daughter.”
I loved that it was me who turned it around on
her.
My parents suddenly changed their tune.
Mom yelled, “Don’t talk like that. Kayla will
always be our family.”
Dad said, “Her cousins have always spoiled
Kayla. Ten million is nothing.‘
I saw Brittany’s face.
Her lips twitched.
I watched her, thinking how stupid she was.
I was raised by my parents, they spent so
much time and money on me.
She could not convince them to kick me out
く
just because she was blood related.
I turned to the housekeeper.
“Wang, you’ve worked here for a long time.
Maybe you should retire.”
The woman looked up in disbelief. “You can’t
fire me!”
“Why not?”
“Ma’am!” she asked my parents for help.
Mom said, “If Kayla is firing you, you should
leave.”
Dad put his arm around me. “Don’t get mad,
honey. It’s not worth it.”
I looked at the other workers, and they all
looked down.
Good, they were smart.
