My giving, Zero family worth novel

Chapter 3 State Facts +10 Free Coins When Mom saw I wasn't reacting , she suddenly rushed over , grabbed a water glass from a customer's table , and threw it at me . Ice - cold lemon water drenched me from head to toe . " You ungrateful daughter ! I'll beat you to death today ! " She raised her hand to slap me across the face . The manager shoved her aside and stepped in front of me . " That's enough ! If you want to cause a scene , do it outside ! " Amanda sneered and suddenly pointed her phone at me . " I'm going to let the internet decide .

A heartless , ungrateful daughter like you has no shame ! " She typed out a title on her phone and started a livestream . " Corrupt Business Protects Ungrateful Daughter Who Assaulted Her Own Mother ! " The viewer count on the livestream climbed rapidly , and comments flooded the screen . [ What's wrong with this daughter ? Her mom's crying like that and she just stands there ? ] [ She's heartless ! Abandoning her own mother for money ! ] [ This restaurant is trash too . We should boycott them !

] My mom had scratched the manager's face and left bloody marks all over it , and he was furious enough to call security . I stopped him . " I'm sorry , sir . I'm so sorry for causing you trouble . " I walked in front of the camera and looked at my distorted reflection on the screen . I also looked at all the hateful comments . My " family " had successfully painted me as a cold - blooded , ungrateful monster who'd abandoned everyone for money . They wanted to destroy me . They didn't just want me to submit to them . They wanted to make sure I couldn't survive in society .

Dad called right then . His voice came through cold and authoritative , loud enough that everyone in the restaurant could hear it , and everyone watching the livestream could hear it too . " Your mother's health isn't good . If you have even a shred of conscience left , you'll stop this ridiculous scene right now . " He paused , and when he spoke again , his tone carried that condescending generosity . " Your mother and I are giving you one last chance . Get on your knees right now and apologize to her .

Admit that you're foolish and ignorant , that you've been an ungrateful daughter and petty toward your siblings . " If you do that , I can pretend none of this ever happened . You can come home and keep living with us , and I'll even give you a thousand dollars for Christmas . " The livestream chat exploded with comments . [ This dad's being so reasonable . His daughter acts like this and he's still willing to give her money . ] [ Just kneel already ! Parents have it so hard . You never see family this understanding ! ] I laughed . So that was what I was worth to them .

My dignity , my pain , everything I'd been through could all be measured in dollars . From one dollar to a thousand . What a generous gift . 1/2 12:55 pm PDD Chapter 3 State Facts +10 Free Coins I looked at the phone screen and saw Mom's smug expression , saw all those relatives waiting to watch me grovel and beg . I walked toward Megan step by step . She thought I was about to give in , and a satisfied smile spread across her face . " There we go . Wouldn't it have been easier if you'd just listened from the start ?

Your father and I will always be your elders , and you need to respect that . Don't even think about fighting back ! " I ignored her completely and spoke directly into the phone camera instead . " Since everyone thinks I'm the one being unreasonable , let me show you exactly who's really out of line here ." I went back to the storage area and pulled out my old , worn backpack . Inside was everything I'd saved over the past twenty years , all the evidence I'd been collecting . Faded photographs , journals , even a few audio recordings I'd made in secret .

I organized all of it into one long post with pictures and audio files attached , and I gave it a title : " My ' Family Contribution Value ' . The Twenty - Year Bill of a One - Dollar Daughter . " I looked up and met everyone's uncertain stares . Then I hit publish . " Nicole , you little bitch ! Delete that right now ! What the hell is wrong with you ? " Amanda lunged for my phone , but I sidestepped her easily . Megan realized what I'd done and swung her hand at my face . " You stupid girl ! What did you just post ? Don't you know you're not supposed to air the family's dirty laundry ?

" The customers in the restaurant and all my relatives instinctively pulled out their phones and opened social media . My post exploded across local social media like a bomb going off . " My ' Family Contribution Value ' . A One - Dollar Daughter's Twenty - Year Bill . " I'm Nicole , the so - called ' ungrateful daughter ' from today's livestream incident . I'm not here to explain myself . I'm here to state facts . All facts are backed by evidence . I posted the first photo with a caption . " When I was five years old , my brother Samuel broke Dad's favorite coffee mug .

I was the one forced to kneel on the broken pieces as punishment , and Samuel got a new toy car . This was taken by our neighbor . " I attached the second image . " When I was 12 , my sister Amanda wanted an 80 - thousand - dollar piano , and Mom and Dad bought it immediately . I asked for a 60 - dollar art supply kit , and Mom said I was wasting my time on useless things . Here's the receipt from that day ." 2/2 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
