Chapter 6

Author: Cinderella
Emily even sent me a private message, saying her mom had bought her a bracelet and asking if I thought it looked good.

I replied that it looked nice, then asked her, "Are you asking my opinion because you're planning to buy me one too?

"I'm getting up there in years. A flashy style like that wouldn't really suit me. If you really want to buy me something, just get something simple."

The moment I sent that, she went silent. She was probably cursing me out. I put my phone down and started cooki

  • They Robbed Me, so I Made Them Homeless   Chapter 10

    I never imagined they'd stoop to using their own child for money. When I threw open the door, the three of them fell silent immediately.Mason ran over and wrapped his arms around my legs. "Grandma!"I looked at Ryan and Emily's guilty expressions, then went to my bedroom and came back with some cash for Mason.I turned to his parents. "It's getting late. I don't have room for you to stay. You should go."Emily stood up in disbelief. "You're kicking us out this late at night?"I nodded. "You can stay at a hotel or drive back tonight. Either way, leave. And don't come back. I don't welcome people who use their own child as a tool. Oh, and remember to pay back what you owe me on time."Ryan's face turned ashen.I looked at him, my voice soft but firm. "From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."I went into my bedroom and closed the door. When Ryan heard those words, he finally panicked and started knocking frantically."Mom, I know I was wrong. Please forgive us, just

    Ryan stared at the document in shock when he saw that I was the plaintiff and he was the defendant. The lawsuit accused him of unauthorized use of my bank card. His face turned red with rage.When the buyers saw what was happening, they threw all of Ryan and Emily's belongings out onto the street and called the police. The officers ordered Ryan to leave immediately and not cause any more trouble.Ryan had no choice but to take Emily and Mason to a hotel.Then he started calling me, but I hung up every time. When that didn't work, he switched to sending me messages nonstop.At first they were filled with profanity, calling me heartless and cruel.When I ignored him, he switched tactics and started begging me to drop the lawsuit. He said if people found out he was being sued over this, his life would be over.I calmly read through every message, then replied, "If you want me to drop the lawsuit, pay back every cent you took from that bank card."He went silent. I knew he didn't ha

    I looked through the peephole. Sure enough, Ryan and Emily stood there, travel-worn and furious.Emily's shrill voice carried through the door. "You stubborn old woman! I know you're in there. Open this door right now!"I frowned and opened it. Before I could say a word, they pushed past me and planted themselves on the couch.Before I could even sit down, Ryan spoke up anxiously. "Mom, what are you trying to pull? Who gave you permission to sell our apartment?"Do you have any idea how exhausted we were from the flight yesterday? And then we couldn't even get into our own home. We had to go stay with Emily's parents. Mason almost got sick from all the stress!"I nearly laughed. Their audacity was unbelievable. I hadn't told them to go on vacation, and now they were blaming me for being tired?I let out a cold laugh. "Did you ask my permission when you tried to sell this house? Besides, my name is on the deed. If I want to sell it, I can. I don't need your approval."Ryan's face

    Ryan tried to calm Emily down, then turned on me with irritation in his voice. "Mom, you've really crossed the line this time."How can you accuse us of taking your money! Besides, Emily was trying to do something nice for you. Instead of being grateful, you attacked her like this!"Hearing my son's resentful voice, I responded coldly, "If you two didn't take the money, then I need to report my missing bank card to the police. There was quite a bit in there. I can't let someone drain it!"I started to hang up. In the split second before my finger hit the button, panicked shouts erupted from both of them."Wait!""Don't!"I smiled, the phone already recording everything. "What's wrong?"Ryan's voice strained to sound calm. "Mom, Emily just checked her bag and found your card in there. She must have put it in when we were canceling the nursing home."Don't call the police. The card is with us. We're about to board our flight. We'll come see you at the nursing home when we get bac

I put my phone down and started cooking.By the time I finished eating and checked my phone again, the family group chat had exploded with messages. Someone had tagged me too.I scrolled up patiently and saw that Emily had screenshotted our private conversation and posted it in the group. She'd added a sickeningly sweet message."My mother-in-law asked me to buy her a bracelet. Ladies, can you give me some advice? I'd feel terrible if I bought something and she didn't like it.She'd even added a few passive-aggressive emojis.

  • They Robbed Me, so I Made Them Homeless   Chapter 5

    The first thing I did after getting off the train was drag my suitcase home and dig out the property deed. Then I went to the real estate agency and had them take down the listing for my old house. Only then did I feel at ease enough to go back home.After sitting empty for several days, the house had collected a layer of dust. I didn't turn on the lights. Using the faint glow filtering in from outside, I made my way to Peter's portrait.In the photo, his smile was as gentle as ever. I reached out and gently wiped the dust from the frame. Tears finally slid down my face without a sound.Everything came flooding back. Ryan's coldness, Emily's cruelty, the nursing home reservation they'd canceled, the bank card they'd stolen, the lies they'd told about my house.Beyond the heartache, a strength I'd never felt before began quietly taking root.The next morning, I woke to the familiar sounds of the morning market. I hadn't slept this soundly since Peter had passed away.After washing
