All Chapters of I Exposed My Mom's Secrets: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

"Why are you crying? Ten grand is a cheap price to pay for a lesson!" My mom, Wilma Jordan, shrieked from the living room.My little sister, Esther Jordan, sat on the couch while wiping away her tears.Her phone screen showed that the wealthy, handsome guy she'd met online had blocked her.I, Rebecca Jordan, had just gotten home from work when I pushed open the door. Mom immediately turned around."Rebecca, you're home at just the right time."Esther is too naive. Some guy scammed her out of ten grand. You're her big sister. Now that you're home, you can teach her a lesson."I frowned and instinctively felt uncomfortable. "Mom, Esther got scammed. She should report it to the police. What exactly am I supposed to teach her?""What good would the police do? Can they teach her how to spot a jerk?"Mom sneered as she typed furiously on her laptop keyboard.She'd been a top student in computer science. She'd quit her job for the sake of the family back then, but she'd never let her

I refused to hand over my retirement savings and locked myself in my room, but I'd underestimated my mother's methods.That night, the Wi-Fi connection in the house suddenly went down. The signal on my phone was blocked too."Do you want internet access? Hand over the money first." She sneered outside the door."In this household, whoever I want offline stays offline."I switched on my computer and tried to break through the firewall on our home network.A line of green code appeared on the screen. It was followed by a pop-up message.[Warning. Unauthorized intrusion detected. Honey, I'm the one who taught you your skills. Do you think you can break through my firewall? Maybe practice for another ten years.]A second later, my computer screen went black. It had been remotely locked.I collapsed into my chair. 'That's right. Mom taught me everything I know about computers.'Growing up, I'd worshiped her.I used to think my mother was the coolest woman in the world. With a few

For the next two weeks, I got up on time every morning, made breakfast for the entire family, cleaned the house, and washed Esther's dirty clothes.Whenever Mom livestreamed, I obediently sat beside her as a background prop.When she called me a flirt, I nodded and said, "Yes."When she called me dirty, I lowered my head and apologized.The tone of the comments began to change.[It actually seems like she's been taught a lesson.][That mom is getting a little too controlling. This is kind of depressing to watch.][I've got to admit, the daughter seems genuinely remorseful.]Mom wasn't happy about this change. What she needed was conflict and drama. She needed views.So she went even further by ordering me to kneel or slap myself during her livestreams."Slap yourself! Harder! Make sure you don't forget what you did!" Mom barked.Without hesitation, I raised my hand and slapped myself across the face. My cheek quickly swelled and turned red.Mom was satisfied.Esther sat ne

Mom didn't confront me on the spot, but I knew she'd become suspicious.She added a fourth layer of security to her computer, iris recognition.She even moved up the public humiliation livestream she'd originally scheduled for the following week. It was happening tomorrow night."It's better to nip things in the bud sometimes," she said.At dinner, Mom spoke casually as she put food on Esther's plate.Esther's face flushed with excitement. "Mom, are you finally going to expose everything Rebecca has done this time? I want her completely ruined in this city!""Not just this city." Mom smiled. "I want there to be nowhere for her anywhere on the internet. Tomorrow, I'm inviting a psychologist and a legal consultant. We'll break down, from every angle, exactly how harmful someone like your sister can be."Dad kept his head down and ate in silence. He was too afraid to say a word.I lowered my gaze and ate my oatmeal.'Tomorrow? Perfect.'I didn't want to wait any longer either.

The livestream had already passed one million viewers.Even the platform moderators seemed stunned by the sudden turn of events. For some reason, the livestream still hadn't been shut down.I stood at the center of the chaos and watched the three of them tear into one another."Dad, stop."My voice was calm. I walked toward the camera and faced everyone watching the livestream. I was still smiling."Everyone, do you see it clearly now? This is my pure, righteous mother who claimed everything she did was for my own good."She drained our family savings to support her younger lover. To cover up the missing money, she made up the story about my sister getting scammed."To silence me, she framed me as some kind of depraved woman online and even tried to send me to a mental facility."I held up the application for a psychiatric evaluation and the involuntary treatment consent form."If I hadn't prepared for this, I'd probably be locked away somewhere right now."The comments went
