My Cousin Stopped Acting Crazy Chapter 11
The day everything finally settled, Mom and Dad saw how it all played out from beginning to end.That evening over dinner, Mom sighed.“I used to think family problems should stay in the family, and that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. “Now I understand that if you keep giving in, some people will only keep pushing further.”Dad nodded.“We were foolish. We let guilt and obligation run this family for too long. From now on, we’ll listen to you and trust your judgement.” I looked at them, overwhelmed by a mix of emotions I could not quite name. The distance that had grown between us over the past five years finally seemed to be disappearing.Lara sat beside me and quietly brushed her hand against mine beneath the table.I turned to look at her. Her eyes softened as she smiled at me.Outside, the moon hung full in a calm night sky.I knew that the chaos that had consumed our family for five years was finally over.It was time for me to move forward with my life

Everything I had wanted to say for the past five years came down to one sentence.“It’s okay. It’s over now.”Lara said nothing. She sat quietly nearby to give us the space we needed.The setting sun streamed through the window and spilled across the floor.I looked at the gray in Mom and Dad’s hair and was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions.The lie had been exposed. Bobby was finally gone.However, five years of hurt and distance between us would not disappear overnight.Still, I knew one thing.Things were finally moving in the right direction.I looked toward the front door that Bobby had slammed on his way out. An uneasy feeling settled over me.Someone like Bobby was not going to let this go so easily.His retaliation came sooner than I expected.Three days after Bobby moved out, trouble started.Someone posted a video of him on a local community forum and several social media platforms.In the video, Bobby appeared bruised and battered as he tearfully told his side o

The room erupted with angry comments the moment he said that.The relatives who had been defending him just minutes earlier now looked at him with open disgust.“What kind of person does something like that?”“Using his father’s sacrifice as an excuse to scam his uncle and aunt! That’s despicable!” Aunt Clara, clearly embarrassed, reached down and tried to pull Bobby to his feet.“That’s enough! Apologize to your aunt and uncle.”“Why should I apologize?”Bobby yanked his arm away.“I didn’t say anything wrong! Their family owes mine!”I watched him carry on, but strangely enough, I felt completely calm.When he finally admitted he had been faking it all these years, five years of resentment seemed to lose its hold on me.I walked over and looked down at him.“Then, let’s settle exactly what’s owed. Over the past five years, between what you spent living here, the money you conned out of my parents, and the things you stole and sold, you took a total of $780,000. “You h

“These are Bobby’s expenses from the past three months. “Pizza deliveries at 2 a.m., overnight sessions at a gaming lounge three times a week, and $37,000 spent on in-game purchases.“Tell me, can someone who supposedly can’t function normally place food orders without a problem, play ranked matches, and spend hours talking to his teammates online?”The relatives began whispering among themselves. The way they looked at Bobby was suspicious.Aunt Clara stubbornly held her ground. “Maybe he has moments when he is more lucid. Is that really that impossible?”I did not respond and simply started the next video.This time, it was security footage from a gaming lounge and a pool hall.On screen, Bobby moved around perfectly normally, shooting pool, smoking, joking around, and roughhousing with his friends.His eyes were alert, and his speech was perfectly normal. He looked nothing like the helpless man he pretended to be at home.“This is footage from the past six months. Seventee

Officially, the reason was that everyone could witness the specialist’s evaluation for themselves and finally have some peace of mind.In reality, I wanted the whole family there when Bobby’s five-year con finally came crashing down.Even while I was making the calls, a few relatives could not resist taking jabs at me.They said I was making a mountain out of a molehill and tearing the family apart over nothing.I did not argue and simply said, “We’ll find out next Wednesday whether it’s me who’s overreacting or someone else.”After I hung up, I stood by the window and looked outside.Bobby was crouched in the yard playing on his phone. His fingers were flying across the screen. He did not look confused or helpless.When he sensed that I was watching him, he looked up sharply and immediately slipped back into that vacant expression.I sneered and held his gaze.I thought, ‘Go ahead. Keep pretending. You have three days left.’Next Wednesday, everything would become clear.La

“If you still think the photos aren’t enough, there’s an easy way to settle this. I’ve arranged for a top psychiatric specialist in the state to come here next Wednesday.”“If Bobby really does have a condition, we’ll pay to get him into the best treatment program available and make sure he gets the care he needs. But if he doesn’t…”She paused. Her gaze swept over Bobby’s pale face. Her voice was cool and controlled, but there was no mistaking the threat behind it. “Then, he has to answer for everything he has taken from this family over the past five years, down to the last cent.”The relatives exchanged uneasy looks. No one dared raise their voice.Aunt Clara opened her mouth, but even she had nothing to say this time.Cecelia gathered the documents and slipped them back into an envelope. Then, she looked at me.“Kyle, keep the evidence. I’ll be here next Wednesday for the evaluation if you need me.”With that, she turned and left.The living room was dead silent.Bobby k
