There were even text messages from Julia.

"Ms. Peterson, please don't argue with your parents. Don't let things get ugly between you both. They're old and can't keep getting angry like this."

I read the messages and felt both disgusted and nauseated. So, without hesitation, I blocked all three of them from all of my social media accounts and text messaging apps. Then, I turned off the phone, tossed it in a corner, and decided I wanted nothing to do with them anymore.

I turned to look out the

  • They Chose the Nanny, I Chose to Stop Funding Them   Chapter 14

    Aside from hiking, I would also go camping with my friends, and we'd chat and sing under the stars as we enjoyed ourselves. We also went to plays and movies together and shared our joys and sorrows with each other.It made me feel incredibly happy and relaxed whenever I was with them.Around that time, someone also began pursuing me romantically. He was one of my business partners, and he was kind, mature, stable, gentle, and thoughtful.He knew about my past and understood my pain, and he never forced me to do the things that I didn't like. He respected me, my career, and my opinions, and he would always comfort me when I was down or tired, and help me when I encountered any difficulties.We got along very well. We didn't make any grand declarations of love to each other, but we kept each other company in a steady and ever-blossoming companionship.I knew then that this was the kind of relationship I wanted.Meanwhile, back in the village, my parents still lived in the empty hou

    Mom and Dad thought of spending money on medical treatment, but they realized in horror that their retirement savings and pension were almost depleted. Julia had stolen quite a sum from them, and what remained was barely enough to cover their food, let alone medicine and other necessities.They lay on their cold bed, sick and miserable, but no one waited on them or brought them food or medicine. No one offered them any comfort, and they couldn't even get themselves a hot meal anymore.The house was empty and lifeless, filled only with the sound of their coughing and sighing.They glanced around in the empty house, looking at my childhood photos on the wall. They recalled the monthly allowance I used to give them on time, how I'd hired someone to wait on them hand and foot, and how I always bought them gifts and presents every time I came home. I'd talk to them, chat with them, and eat with them, but now, there was nothing left except regrets.Mom lay in bed, sobbing and poundin

    Just as Julia was about to continue rummaging through Mom and Dad's bedside tables for anything valuable, the neighbor across the street happened to take out the trash just then and saw the front door wide open.The house was in complete disarray, and she also saw a figure furtively rummaging through my parents' belongings, so she got suspicious at once.She quietly went into a corner, pulled out her phone, and called the police, quietly explaining the situation to the officers that someone had broken into the house.The police arrived quickly. They rushed into the house with body cameras on them, arresting Julia on the spot.Julia's face turned deathly pale when she saw the police and trembled violently. Her bag fell to the ground, scattering expensive cigars, alcohol, jewelry, and cash onto the floor. With so much evidence against her, resistance was futile. There was no denying it.The police questioned her on the spot. When Julia realized that there was no way she could worm h

    Dad continued, "We've already kicked Julia out and changed the locks, and we're never letting her back in. Let's continue living happily as a family of three, okay?"I gently pulled my hand away. "No, thank you.""Jen!" Mom cried, her eyes reddening with anxiety. She grabbed my arm, refusing to let go. "That's your home too! How could you not go back? You're our only daughter. What will we do if you don't come back with us?""My home?" I scoffed sarcastically and a little sorrowfully. "What about when you changed the locks without telling me, gave my room to Julia, and kicked me out of the house, saying I wasn't your daughter anymore? Why didn't any of you think that it was still my home then?""I…" Mom was at a loss for words. Tears streamed down her face even more as she choked, "We only said that in the heat of the moment. You shouldn't take them to heart. Please, Jen? We were wrong. We really know that we were wrong."You're our only daughter. We still have to rely on you wh

    My parents were at their wits' end, but there was nothing they could do about the situation. After all, they were the ones who had adopted Julia in the first place. If word got out, they would only be humiliating themselves.If my parents mentioned kicking Julia out, she would immediately throw a tantrum by rolling on the floor, crying and screaming at the top of her lungs. "You adopted me, didn't you? It's only natural for me to live in your home!"How dare you throw me out! If you do, I'll go around the neighborhood telling everyone you abuse your daughter! Then we'll see if you still have the nerve to continue living here!"My parents didn't know what to do anymore and could only sigh in frustration all day.Julia had turned the house into an absolute mess. There was trash everywhere, and meals were often just makeshift instant boxed meals thrown together. My parents lived like they were walking on eggshells every day, afraid of upsetting her and causing another huge scene.The

    Not long after, Mom thought of wearing her gold bracelet when out visiting relatives. However, she couldn't find it even after searching through the entire wardrobe.She traced back her steps and realized that Julia was the only one who had gone through her wardrobe in the past. At once, my parents knew what had happened and confronted Julia at once."Julia! Did you take Marie's gold bracelet?" Dad demanded, pointing a trembling finger at Julia. His face was as dark as thunder, and his eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. He never thought that the "daughter" he'd trusted so much would actually steal from them.Julia didn't look the least bit concerned and stood there defiantly with her hands on her hips, feigning indifference."What gold bracelet? I don't know anything about it! Don't you go around accusing innocent people. I didn't touch any of your things. Maybe you just misplaced it or lost it accidentally.""There are only the three of us in this house. Who else wou
