Ruthless

Scumbag

My nephew, Jason, came to live with my family for three years while he went to high school in the city. I took care of him the best I could, never once thinking it was a burden. The day he got accepted into a top-ranked university, he went live online. He told thousands of strangers about his miserable life living under someone else's roof. "I know I shouldn't say this, but I really suffered through it. "Those days of depending on others… I never want to think about them ever again. "I just want all parents to know this. No matter how poor you are, keep your kids with you. Even eating scraps together is better than watching another family of three enjoy a feast while you sit alone in the corner." He became an overnight sensation, so did I. The people on the internet dug up everything about me. My name, my job, my address. I was doxxed. I died depressed from the online bullying. However, I somehow got to do it all over again. This time, I was not going to be the saint anymore.

Chapter 1
My nephew, Jason Wheeler, had just been accepted into Thornbridge High, the city's most prestigious high school.A few days before school started, my sister, Esther, showed up at my door with him.The moment I saw them, I came out of a daze. The remnants of my memories in my past life reminded me that I had been given another chance at life.I was back to the exact day my nephew first stepped into my house.Half an hour before they arrived, I immediately called my in-laws and explained everything to them, asking them to play along with my act.When my husband, Daniel, heard that Jason was staying over, he thought nothing of it. "It's just a kid living here. Why are you making a big deal over this?""This isn't a sleepover," I snapped. "We'll have to look after him for three years. He will be our responsibility. His parents don't plan to handle anything. I'm just his aunt. I can't take this on!"I added, "Just don't speak later. Let me do the talking."My in-laws agreed. "Eva is

Esther was a little stunned.After a while, she said, "Son, I'm doing this for you. How could the school's food be compared to your aunt's cooking?""It's fine, Mom. I'll just stay in the dorms. Besides, Henry is at school as well, right? He can look after me."Esther finally said, "Oh, right. That's true."I smiled at her and handed the wad of bills to Jason. "Here. This is from your mother, for this month's living expenses. Keep them well. You'd need to buy quite a lot of things for the start of the semester."I then said to Esther, "By the way, Esther, come with me to help with the registration."Esther was about to refuse, but I immediately grabbed her wrist and said earnestly, "Do you know how few kids make it from the county school into Thornbridge High? As his mother, shouldn’t you meet the teachers and ask them to take good care of him?""Jason has real potential," I added. "He will get into a top-ranking college in the future! Don't mess this up!"Jason immediately sai

Esther replied, "I can't join you. Robert is waiting for me at home. Jason, just stay here."Thank you for accompanying us today, Eva. I'll get going right away!"This felt odd, but I did not give it much thought as long as Jason was not staying in my place.Thus, I headed straight home.On Friday evening, Jason came home with Henry for the weekend. I was alright with it, but this time, I was not going to cook up a feast like before.I made a simple meal and even divided the fruits and snacks equally. One portion was for Henry in his room, while the other was for Jason.Jason's eyes were gleaming with jealousy when he saw Henry entering his room. I could not care less about him, though.Henry was my son. He was a senior. Of course, he would be treated differently from Jason.I took out my phone and made a video call to Esther. I guessed that they must be having dinner at that moment, too.The moment the call was picked up, the camera was aimed at the dining table. I had a look

I hung up on Esther. Then, I contacted the lawyer.I found out through the lawyer that Esther had yelled at Jason on the phone, but not once did she bring up the matter of compensation.The lawyer found her hard to deal with as well. Jason's teacher had called Esther multiple times to head to school, but Esther refused.She kept saying that she was busy and that her pay would be docked if she took time off. She also said that it was only normal that children got into fights. She told the teacher to 'relax'.When Esther found out that the classmate had been beaten up so badly on the head that he had been hospitalized, she hung up the call right away.All these happened while Jason was next to his teacher. His face flushed a violent shade of red with fury.I told Daniel not to handle this. We would pay for the lawyer just to avoid getting into this mess ourselves.That Friday, I picked Jason up from school. He returned home to see two pieces of luggage by the door.Since I was pu

In my previous life, I was so furious that I trembled.Jason had added, "Aunt Eva, it's just for clout. Once I make enough money, the people online will just forget about me. You won't lose anything. It's just words. It can't hurt you anyway!"That family took advantage of me, and I ended up dying due to depression. Daniel got fired from his job, too.Henry, on the other hand, got bullied in college. In the end, he had no choice but to move away to the countryside. None of my family ended up well, all thanks to Jason.…No more!I consulted with the lawyer once more. If the victim's parents press charges, Jason might be arrested. If he ended up in prison, he would surely be expelled from school.I texted Esther once more and told her about the severity of this matter, in case she blamed it on me again.Esther did not reply to me until that evening. [Eva, don't let them intimidate you. It's a child's fight. It's not that serious. So what if there have been minor injuries? Let

Esther and Robert ended up beating Jason there and then.I did not move one bit, in case they ended up hitting me as well.Esther beat Jason while looking at me, so I said, "Esther, enough. Stop hitting him already."The police officer intervened and stopped the beating. "I got you here to work things out, not to hit him! You're in the police station! Behave! Just apologize and compensate!"The moment Esther heard that compensation was required, she was furious. She turned to look at the victim's parents. Seeing the victim's head wrapped in bandages, she mocked, "Who the hell knows if this is real or fake?"The victim's parents fumed. "I knew you wouldn't be reasonable. Since this matter can't be settled, I'll see you in court!"Esther started to worry. Jason stood by the side, saying nothing.I said to her, "Esther, come on. They're willing to settle privately. You have to think about Jason's future. If he had made a mistake, get him to admit it and apologize. If compensation i

The victim had great grades and was friendly with everyone at school, see. Jason had just arrived when he ended up in huge trouble.What awaited Jason in the future? Being isolated by everyone might make him even sadder, but I could not care less. All I wanted was for my Henry to be alright.That weekend, Jason did not come back. Apparently, he said that coming back to my place was a waste of time. He had to catch up on his studies, so he did not return.That was better for me.I bought snacks and picked my son up. I did not leave anything for Jason.Henry was a little surprised. "Mom, you used to always buy him things. Why did you stop?""You're my son. You're the one I should buy for. He has his parents! Why should I care about him?"Henry hugged me excitedly. "Mom, you're the best!"You know…I couldn't stand him for the longest time. You don't know this, but before, whenever he was at our place, he'd always ask for things. He'd say things like how he had never played with an

Henry replied, "No, I'm fine."Hey, why don't you stay at home and read? I'll be back after the exams!"Jason's jittery state was even more of a confirmation for me that something was off with that milk.After Henry's exam, I sent him to a hotel nearby to stay. I even got my mother-in-law and husband to stay with him.Daniel was no doubt stunned after he heard what I had to say. "Are you sure? How could Jason be so scheming?""I had taken the milk to get it checked, and yes, the milk was spiked with laxatives. He can no longer stay with us."Look after Henry for these two days."…When Jason did not see Henry return, he was a little surprised, yet also delighted. "Aunt Eva, where's Henry? Is he unwell?""Are you hoping he's unwell? He's doing fine. He'll just be staying with our relatives for the next two days, since it's closer."I made a meal for Jason and heated some milk for him. Jason was a little suspicious, but he thought nothing much of it.Once he drank the milk, I

I snickered."No wonder Jason grew up to be who he is–the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!"He lives in the dorms throughout the week and stays with me during the weekend. Tell me, where did I ever wrong him for him to hurt my son that way?"Enough, Esther. From now on, our families are done. Make him write a formal apology. If he needs to be detained, then that's that."Daniel and the others rushed over soon after. Seeing how furious I was, he tried to pull me aside."Jason's eyes look a little strange. Don't push him too far; revenge cuts both ways. We've got everything we need. Henry's exams are over, too. Let it go."In the end, under Esther's nonstop begging and Jason's tearful breakdown, I agreed to settle for 30 thousand.This time, I did not hesitate.I used the money to book a graduation trip for my son. The moment his exams ended, I took him traveling.I told Daniel to sell the house, too. We moved away and no longer wished to have any contact with Esther and Ja
