Report
At the New Year's Eve dinner, my mom suddenly assigns some rules to me and my siblings. She claims that those who don't fit the criteria aren't allowed to eat at the table. Rule number one: One must have spent at least 50% of their time keeping Mom company at home last year. Rule number two: One must have gone shopping with Mom all the time. Rule number three: One must keep giving Mom allowance. But it appears that I, the oldest sibling, am the only one who doesn't meet the requirements. My little sister, Chelsea Cage, begins acting coquettish immediately. "All Cassidy cares about is her business, unlike me, Mom! I care about you!" Meanwhile, my younger brother, Cameron Cage, lectures me with a frown, "What's the point of you being able to earn more money than average people? No matter how good a breadwinner you are, the fact that you don't care about Mom completely nullifies it!" My mom tells my siblings to sit around her happily. Then, she criticizes me in a sarcastic tone. "As parents, when we become old, what we need is our children's company, not cold hard cash." I'm pissed off, to say the least. I'm the breadwinner of this family, and yet these freeloaders get to put on airs in front of me. The reason why I don't go shopping with my mom is that she's never satisfied with whatever gifts I've picked out for her during the times I did go out with her. That's why I gave her money straight away. I didn't give my mom any allowance at all because all the money is regularly deposited into the supplementary card, which she has. Since my long-term efforts are worth nothing compared to my siblings' sweet talk, I suppose I can quit being the ATM of this family.

The screen lit up. It was a bank statement. Line after line of transfer records filled the screen, stretching back over a decade."These are the transfers I've made to my family over the past decade," I said, holding a laser pointer as I traced them one by one."Houses, cars, renovations, vacations, tuition for my brother and sister, their living expenses, Mom's medical bills, insurance premiums… The total comes to 53.82 million."The entire room erupted. For a few seconds, even the livestream comments froze."More than 50 million? And they call her a cold-hearted daughter?""My goodness. I don't think I'll even earn that amount in my lifetime."Cameron's face changed instantly. He barked, "So what? You're rich! Isn't it only right that you spend money on your family? Is that your excuse for abandoning Mom now?"I smiled coldly. "Abandoning? It's not that I refused to give money. It was you guys who decided that money is cold and heartless, that it insults our relationships."O

Cameron wasn't idle either. He found a few so-called insiders to spread rumors all over the comment section."I'm her neighbor. She's been cold-hearted since she was a kid. Now that she's rich, she doesn't even acknowledge her own brother.""I heard her business dealings are shady. She'd sell out even her mother just to climb higher.""How could someone like her become a CEO? Let's boycott her company!"Public opinion exploded almost overnight. People on the internet were quick to sympathize with whoever looked like the victim.Before long, my social media accounts were drowned in insults. Every ugly label imaginable was slapped onto me.The company's stock price started to fluctuate as well. The old board members panicked and called to question me one after another."Ms. Cage, what exactly is going on? How can you let your personal affairs affect the company? If this isn't handled properly, we'll have to consider removing you from your position."Facing the overwhelming pressu

The ward went completely silent.Mom, Cameron, and Chelsea turned to me at once. Their eyes were guilty, but beneath that guilt was a brazen sense of entitlement."You finally came!"Mom grabbed a pillow and hurled it at me. "You ungrateful wretch! Are you trying to kill me? Cover the 150 thousand dollars right now! And also, move me to a VIP room immediately!"I sidestepped the pillow and set the fruit basket on the bedside table, my expression calm. "Mom, the doctor said your heart isn't strong. You can't afford to get worked up. As for the money, I made it clear previously. 200 dollars—not a penny less or more."She clutched her chest in fury. "You…"Cameron lunged, trying to grab my collar, but my cold stare made him step back."Don't go too far, Cassidy! You've made Mom sick!" he shouted, trying to sound tough but clearly flustered. "Hand over the paperwork for the retirement home! We're returning it to pay for Mom's treatment!"Chelsea chimed in. "That's right! It's Mom's

Back at the luxury store, Mom stared at the 200-dollar allowance and felt her blood boil.Around her, the store clerks looked on with disdain. Behind her lay the 150 thousand dollar bill waiting to be charged, and in front of her were the now-canceled supplementary card."Cassidy… You bitch…"Her eyes rolled back, and she fell straight backward, stiff as a board."Mom? Mom, what happened to you?""Mrs. Cage! Call an ambulance, quick!"Since I had canceled Mom's premium medical insurance, the hospital admitted her to a regular three-person ward. Meanwhile, the luxury store had already filed a police report.Although she had fainted, the destruction of the merchandise and ripped-off tags couldn't be denied. Cameron and Chelsea, completely broke, ended up detained at the police station.They were forced to sign an IOU for 150 thousand dollars with a strict deadline to pay. Otherwise, they would face charges and possible jail time.I didn't go to the hospital until three days late

After being kicked out of the company, Mom decided to cheer up Lexie by taking her shopping. "Don't cry, Lexie. Cassidy doesn't care for you, but I do!"She patted Lexie's hand. "Come on, let's go buy some jewelry and bags! We'll go to the most expensive stores and piss that little brat off!"The

No sooner had Lexie left than Cameron's angry calls started blowing up my phone. I didn't answer a single one.The next morning, the receptionist came rushing to my office, knocking frantically. "Ms. Cage, your mother just barged in with your brother. We couldn't stop them!"Before she even finish

A few days later, I saw Chelsea's post. It was a collage of our family photos, except I wasn't in them. The caption dripped with a sarcastic tone."A family should stick together. If you don't appreciate it, don't come back."I scrolled away without a word.When the holidays ended, Cameron sudden

After Mom finished laying down those three rules, she wrapped her arms around my younger brother and little sister."Mom…" my sister, Chelsea Cage, cooed, dragging out the word and resting her head on Mom's shoulder. Her eyes, though, flicked toward me for just a moment."Don't get yourself too wo
