“Is this how you treat us?”
He knelt down and started poking me in the
head, each jab more painful than a physical
blow.
“How can you be so ungrateful? Have you
forgotten the way we lived before? We had no
parents, nothing to eat, everything we have

now, came from hard work.

“Yes! We are better now, but that doesn’t mean
you can waste money like this!”
I struggled to knock his hand away, screaming,
“I didn’t stage this! Carol set me up! She wanted me dead!”
“I didn’t waste money! Carol let the drunk wreck the apartment to destroy the evidence!”
“You cut off my allowance. I made money and saved every penny.”
“You, a lazy and materialistic girl?”
I was desperate to explain, but the coldness in
Mark’s eyes, David’s contempt, and Lisa’s smirk
silenced me.
“You’re not welcome here. Get out!”

“And don’t come back!”
It was the first time I had stood up for myself.

David stared, then laughed, “You think we want
to come to this dump!”
“You said that! Don’t regret it!”
David glared and stormed out.
Lisa tried to take my hand, but Mark pulled her
away.
They hesitated at the door, and even Lisa
looked confused.
Lisa turned to me and made a jealous face.
“Bam!” I slammed the door.
No hesitation.

I trashed the apartment, tossing everything
good and bad into the trash.

My allowance was cut off in Lisa’s second year.
I had been making a living for myself all these
years.
The house was bought several years ago, and
needed saving.
Now, my company had long been on track, and
the market value had increased many times.
But because I had not forgotten the old days, I
did not want to change this house.
The bigger reason was that I didn’t want to
leave my brothers, since this place was close to
them.
But it didn’t matter now.

I listed the house online for a bargain price, and
gave my brothers another fifty million.
I was planning on moving to a nice place and
starting over.
But before I go, I still have a gift for them!
Carol’s attitude was too weird for me to
overthink.
I found a detective agency and had Carol and
Lisa investigated.
I went to a fancy restaurant that I never thought
I could get into.
The two brothers always gave me light gifts,
but to Lisa, love and gifts were equally
important.
According to them: “Lisa is not like you, she is
used to being lonely, and needs to be rich!”

I did it over again, got rid of those bastards,
and had a good time!
I hadn’t even had two bites before my brothers
showed up.
Mark frowned deeply, looked at my clothes, and
shook his head.
“I spoiled you! You are so luxurious!”
David swept everything onto the floor in anger.
The plates shattered, and the sound was
piercing.
I shrugged.
The dishes were priceless antiques from the
Middle Ages, and my brothers would be
heartbroken if they knew.
David didn’t seem to care.
