During the holidays, I specifically go home to spend quality time with my family. Mom brings out a bowl of persimmons and says in a half-teasing manner, "This is for the Sherman family. Once you eat a persimmon, you'll be blessed with good luck. Outsiders aren't allowed to take from this bowl." Everyone begins fighting for the persimmons. I decide to grab one for myself as well. The next thing I know, the living room goes eerily silent. Dad drags me to the corner before he starts berating me. "You didn't get to eat any fruits when you were living with your in-laws, huh? Must you steal from our family? "Didn't you hear your mother saying that outsiders aren't allowed to take from the bowl? So why did you still take one? "Because of you, Vivian doesn't get anything at all!" I look around my surroundings. It turns out there are only eight persimmons when in reality, there are nine of us in the living room. Mom has been hinting at me the whole time that I'm the actual outsider here. So, I pass the persimmon to Vivian Andrews, my parents' goddaughter. Then, I dial my husband's phone number. "Kevin, there's no need to bring the holiday gifts over."

"Irene! Irene, you have to save us! The hospital bills are all piling up!" Cathy cried. "Isaac… He was such a dumb idiot! He and that bitch squandered nearly all of the money in the house!"Isaac stood awkwardly to the side, wringing his hands anxiously. "Irene, I know that what I did in the past was wrong… I-I promise that we'll return the money to you! Can't you just lend us the money to cover Mom's and Dad's medical bills first? They're about to be taken off their meds!"I looked at him. "Where's my 480,000 dollars?"Isaac's face turned red. "The house… and the truck… They can't be sold off and liquidated that quickly! Just give us the money to tide things over for now! We'll repay you once we've sold them off!""In that case, I have nothing else to say to you," I said, turning to leave.Isaac grabbed me and dropped to his knees, sobbing harshly."Irene! Please, I'm begging you! Mom and Dad raised you for years! You can't be so cold-hearted and abandon them like this! Are yo

The piercing siren of the ambulance echoed through the quiet neighborhood.Dad suffered a stroke due to a sudden heart attack. Meanwhile, Mom suffered a heart attack due to severe hypertension. They were both rushed into the emergency room.Isaac and Ivan both stood dejectedly at the emergency room door, looking completely defeated. Cathy folded her arms over her chest, a little distance away, looking at them coldly and mockingly.Meanwhile, Vivian had already disappeared, turning off her phone and refusing to reply to any messages. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Mom's and Dad's conditions finally stabilized and were transferred to a ward.Dad was paralyzed on one side, and his speech was slurred. Mom suffered from heart damage and needed long-term rest.When they learned of the exorbitant medical and treatment costs and the need for long-term care, the reality finally crashed on them and crushed their last shred of

A day after Christmas, Isaac's phone lit up with a text message from Vivian while he was in the shower."See you at the old place tomorrow, Zac. We also need to discuss the eminent domain compensation. Mom said that it's about to be deposited soon."Cathy's mind went blank at once.What usual place? What eminent domain compensation?She trembled as she tapped into the messaging window to check the text history, but she realized that it was all empty. Someone had evidently deleted everything on purpose.She then recalled how Vivian occasionally flirted playfully or relied on Isaac at home, and how protective of her he seemed.A horrible suspicion surfaced in Cathy's mind.She didn't make a fuss about it, but she began quietly keeping a close eye on things.Isaac left the next day, claiming that he was going back to work. Cathy hailed a cab and shadowed him, eventually ending up at a chain hotel located in a secluded area.She watched him walk into the hotel lobby with practiced

"Irene, it's good to forgive and forget," Cathy said. "Mom and Dad are getting old. They can't take this anymore."See, you've also already slapped Vivian and taken out your anger on her. Let's just call it quits and take a step back, alright? We'll all compromise and just enjoy our Christmas dinner tonight. We can talk things out."I felt like I'd just heard the most pathetic joke of the century."Did you seriously think that I would still sit at the same table to share a meal with any of you?"I looked around at everyone, saying, "From today onward, I will not have anything to do with the Shermans anymore. I'm severing ties with you all."Let's go, Kevin."Kevin helped me up and glared coldly at the rest of my family. "This isn't over. I will be getting Rene's injuries medically and professionally assessed. You'd all better pray that she's alright."With that, he helped me out of the door to the suffocating place I used to call my home.Mom's upset cries and Dad's anguished y

"How could you do this to us? What have I ever done wrong? Where did I go wrong to have given birth to such a horrible and vicious daughter like you? I don't want to live anymore!" Mom screamed before rushing over to the table to bash her head against the corner.Everyone quickly held her back.Is

Only a few years had passed since then, but everything had changed drastically.I was no longer Mom and Dad's "precious baby daughter" who needed to be spoiled. Instead, they painted me as a jealous, petty, and unreasonable brat.I looked Dad straight in the eye and said, "Well, I'm sorry that you

After all, I hadn't kept Mom or Dad company at home ever since marrying Kevin and moving in with him, and it had made me very accommodating with my family's demands.I even repeatedly tolerated it when they started replacing me in the family portraits with Vivian's photos and serving only her favor

"What's the matter, Rene?"My husband, Kevin Garrett, sounded anxious on the other end of the line. I just looked at the room full of people and replied calmly, "It's nothing. I'll explain on the way back. You can just forget about bringing the gifts over."Then, I hung up.Mom was frantic."Wha
