Author: Bear Alert
Dad threatened, "I'll go to your hotel to cause a scene if you don't help Jacob!"

"Go ahead and cause a scene, then! You ought to know that our hotel's popularity has improved since the last time you caused a scene—and I even got a promotion out of it! You're more than welcome to go back and try again!" I stated earnestly.

Dad was instantly silenced.

  • Making Dad and My Brother Enemies   Chapter 10

    Dad threatened, "I'll go to your hotel to cause a scene if you don't help Jacob!""Go ahead and cause a scene, then! You ought to know that our hotel's popularity has improved since the last time you caused a scene—and I even got a promotion out of it! You're more than welcome to go back and try again!" I stated earnestly.Dad was instantly silenced.I felt a brief sense of regret, wishing that I hadn't spoken up earlier if I had known that Dad would stop. I had been mentally cycling through various strategies to capitalize on his tantrum and push the hotel's visibility to new heights, after all. I ignored Dad after that, though I still called the police to help with Jacob's situation. Jacob had already left the country, though, so there wasn't much the police could actually do besides keep an eye on things.I eventually got sued by Dad over the matter. I provided the court with years of financial statements showing how I had bankrolled him and Jacob, along with evidence of his b

    Upon seeing that I wasn't buying it, Dad immediately came clean. "Jacob took out a loan using explicit photos of himself as collateral. They threatened to post those photos online and reveal them to Katie if he defaulted. "You're aware that Jacob has a four-year-old child who needs a mother, and Jacob can't survive without Katie either."I immediately grasped the situation; the final remark was the most important point. Jacob was completely infatuated and had insisted on marrying Katie, even though she was an alcoholic. He and Katie even became freeloaders at his mother-in-law's house once they got married.Dad had been against the relationship from the start, but every time he tried to pull them apart, Jacob would go into a total tailspin and even tried to slit his wrists a few times.It made sense now why Jacob was desperate enough to go to Northern Morthaven for work. "Jacob met a friend who told him there was a way to make a lot of money. He unexpectedly got lured to Norther

    Dad snapped, "Why are all of you taking his side? Do none of you care about familial bonds?"It was then that one of the onlookers yelled indignantly, "Why aren't you making your oldest son pay the younger one back if you're so big on family? Why don't you pay for the expenses yourself instead?"Dad, with no defense left, resorted to sitting on the ground and wailing. "Why is my life so miserable? How could I have such an ungrateful son who has no respect for his parents? I'm better off dead!""Do you intend to remain silent, Mom?" I asked, spotting Mom trying to keep her distance.Mom stood there, hesitating for a long moment before eventually yelling at Dad, "Please stop embarrassing us, Kevin!"Upon seeing her reaction, Dad pointed at Mom and snapped, "How can I have such an ungrateful son and an unreliable wife?""You're being so unreasonable!" Mom barked before she turned on her heel and walked away.I merely sneered, thinking that Mom had always been this way—keeping her

    "Get over here this instant, Elijah!" Dad yelled, pointing at me.In that instant, everyone in the vicinity turned to look toward Dad.Dad snapped, "You insolent brat! You think you're so independent now, huh? What's the big deal about spending some money on your family? You're probably really happy right now, all while Jacob got beaten up! How did I ever raise a son like you?"Mom chimed in as well, saying, "I'm certain that your father knows that you feel wronged, but that's your brother we're talking about here, Elijah. You shouldn't be so petty when it comes to family. You can't care so much about money; family ties have to come first!"Those around me, ignorant of the truth, pointed at me and talked among themselves.Upon seeing the crowd's reaction, Dad doubled down and yelled, "Do you guys see this ungrateful brat over here? He won't even take care of his own parents! He has no conscience!"It was then that a nearby security guard saw what was happening and approached me.

    Jacob continued, "I've got plenty of savings. I just haven't paid yet because I'd lose out on the interest if I withdrew the money right now."Upon hearing that, the relatives cast suspicious glances at Jacob, uncertain if he was telling the truth.Jacob wore a triumphant expression. "I'll pay today just to prove I'm telling the truth, but don't expect another cent from me after this!"He kept his head down, messing with his phone for a while—no one knew what he was doing—then he walked up to the front desk and said proudly, "Swipe it!"It wasn't long before the receptionist returned the card to Jacob and said with a smile, "I hope you have a pleasant stay, sir."Jacob cocked his head back smugly. "I told you I have money. I'm not some broke loser."In that instant, the relatives hurriedly offered their apologies. "I knew it! Jacob is the most successful one! We were all just misled by that ungrateful brat!""I hope you won't hold it against me, Jacob. It seems to me that Elijah

    Dad also realized that he had slipped up. He could only stammer, unable to explain himself.Jacob stepped forward then. "You've all misunderstood Dad. You should stop covering for Elijah, too, Dad."I stared at Jacob through the surveillance monitor, wondering what he was going to come up with next.Jacob explained, "You see, my 'Family Sharing Account' hasn't been linked to Dad's for some time now. It's currently linked to Elijah's instead."Those present were immediately stunned after hearing Jacob's explanation."What's going on here? How did the 'Family Shared Account' end up being linked to Elijah's account?""What is actually happening here?" Upon seeing the reaction, Jacob nodded in satisfaction and said in a feigned manner, "You see, Elijah has been blowing through money and was too ashamed to tell you guys that he's broke, so we covered for him. I just didn't think he'd actually spent every last cent, though, which is why my payment couldn't go through right now."Tho
