All Chapters of When My Brother Stops Simping: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Bella froze at the insult I threw at her. Then her shoulders began to shake, and she sobbed so hard she almost fainted. She made it look as if I had bullied her in front of everyone.The other students could not help but start whispering among themselves."Isn't the new girl a little too sensitive? She started crying because Pearl didn't offer her an eraser?""Pearl has a temper, sure... But what did any of that have to do with her name?""Pearl always wears that bracelet. I never even noticed whether it had diamonds."Bella only cried even louder. When the class president realized things were getting out of hand, he ran to the office for the homeroom teacher, Mrs. Smith.Mrs. Smith quickly came over. She looked at Bella who could barely breathe through her sobs, while I sat there with rage written all over my face.She slammed her hand on the desk and started scolding me. "Pearl, can you go one day without causing trouble?"I was furious and I had just wanted to explain "It wa

My heart sank.Bella's parents? Wasn't that Anna? If Gale came to the school, he would come face-to-face with her.I pressed my lips together, sick with frustration.Then I made up my mind. "You don't need to call my guardian. I'll pay for it."Mrs. Smith stared at me. "Pearl, do you know how much this school's tuition costs?"I frowned. "It's only a few thousand dollars. I'll pay her with my allowance, and this will be the end of it."I then quickly added, "I can give her the money, but I didn't steal it."That was my bottom line. I was willing to pay to settle the matter, but I would never admit to stealing.Mrs. Smith frowned as she weighed her options. If I paid, she could avoid more trouble too. However, Bella refused to accept it. "Look, Mrs. Smith! She's guilty! Why would she pay if she didn't steal it? This isn't just about the money. It's about character. There's a thief in our class. If she steals my tuition money today, what will she steal tomorrow?"Still crying, s

Gale straightened his back after slapping Anna, his eyes cold and filled with only disgust as he looked down on Anna. "Who do you think you are? How dare you touch my family, my sister?!" Anna covered her face. This time, her tears were real. She looked shocked and humiliated. "She stole the money first. She stole my daughter's tuition money. She took Bella's money and refuses to admit it. She's completely immoral!" Gale could not even be bothered to answer her. Me? Stealing money? My allowance alone could have supported her for the rest of her life. Why would I steal from her? Anna covered her face, probably convinced that Gale still loved her and would fall to his knees the moment she cried a tear. "You hit me over this thief, Gale? She offered to pay it back herself. Who else could have taken it?" Gale pulled out a sanitizing wipe and carefully cleaned his hand as if he had touched something filthy. I tugged his shirt as my heart sank. I had only offered to pay because

Anna was standing outside the door of my family's mansion holding a fruit basket and Bella's hand. I had no idea how she had gotten into the gated neighborhood. She was wearing plain clothes and looked exhausted. "Gale, please come out and see me."I snapped at her. "Will you ever stop? Why are you causing a scene in the middle of the night?!"I was not worried she would attack me here. Gale was home, and one shout would bring a horde of security forces.Anna smiled as if she was eager to please me. "Pearl, I was wrong about what happened today and I came to apologize."Gale heard the noise and walked over. "Who is it?"Anna's eyes instantly became red when Gale appeared. She moved as if she wanted to throw herself into his arms. "Gale, I really have nowhere else to go."He tried to shut the door in her face, but Anna braced herself against it and covered her face as she cried. "Derek and I are divorced! He's a monster! He drinks and beats me every day! I have nothing now and Bel

When Anna saw us approaching, she immediately groveled to us. "Mr. Henderson! Please show us mercy! We really can't survive like this!"The reporters aimed their cameras and microphones at us. "How do you explain the security footage posted online, Mr. Henderson?""Ms. Umbridge says you used your power to harass her. Is that true?"I stepped forward, unable to keep quiet. "Stop the act. Everyone at school already saw through you. Since you like posting videos so much, I'll post one too."I pulled out my phone and played a video. It showed Anna yelling insults at me and slapping me before Gale arrived. He had not wanted to release footage of me being attacked, but I did not care.In the video, Anna looked vicious and brutal. None of the pitiful helplessness of her in her livestream was there. "Everyone can see for themselves. Who was bullying whom? Her daughter stole money and framed me at school. Then Anna came to our home and asked Gale to raise another man's daughter. When he re
