My giving, Zero family worth novel

Chapter 4 A Family Severance Agreement +10 Free Coins I took a deep breath and posted the third photo . " Mom and Dad let Amanda steal my artwork that I'd prepared for a national competition . She put her name on it and won first place . Here's my original sketch compared to her award - winning piece . She didn't even bother changing the details . " I uploaded an audio file . " When I was a junior in high school , Samuel became obsessed with gaming and wanted expensive computer equipment . Mom and Dad forced me to hand over my college savings from my part - time job to buy it for him .

In this recording , Dad says that it's my duty as the older sister to help my brother , that I'm not as pretty as Amanda or as clever as Samuel , and that no amount of studying will ever let me surpass them. " One item after another . One piece of evidence after another . Cold words and clear proof laid bare everything I'd suffered through twenty years of parental favoritism , exposing it all for everyone to see . The restaurant fell silent except for the sound of phones refreshing their screens .

The diners who'd been condemning me just moments ago now stared at my family with complicated expressions on their faces . The relatives turned red , then pale , and awkwardly backed away , trying to distance themselves from Megan . Megan swayed on her feet , her face chalk white . " You ... you ... " She pointed at me but couldn't form a single word . Public opinion flipped in an instant . The livestream chat flooded with furious comments . [ Holy shit ! What kind of people do this ? This whole family are vampires ! ] [ I feel so bad for this girl . Is this a real - life Cinderella story ?

No , it's worse than Cinderella ! ] [ That sister is shameless ! She steals from her own family and acts like it's nothing ? ] [ Call the police ! Someone needs to call the police ! ] Amanda watched the comments flying past and panicked , quickly shutting off the livestream . " You're insane ! You made this into such a huge mess . Are you trying to destroy our entire family ? " I looked at her coldly . " Weren't you the ones who started this ? When you went live , weren't you trying to destroy me? Now that it's your turn , you're scared ?

" Dad's phone rang again , but this time , he was calling Amanda . Amanda answered the phone , and the moment she said " Dad , " an angry roar cut her off . " Tell her to delete that post right now ! The company's stock price is dropping ! " Amanda nearly dropped her phone . She looked at me , and for the first time , I saw something like desperation in her eyes . " Nicole , please , just delete it . I'm begging you . Dad's company can't go under because of this... " I didn't answer her . My phone rang with an unknown number , and I picked up .

1/2 12:55 pm POD Chapter 4 A Family Severance Agreement +10 Free Coins " Hello , is this Nicole Walsh ? We're from the city police department . We saw your post online about your sister Amanda allegedly stealing someone else's work for a competition . We need you to come in and give a statement . " Amanda's face went white in an instant . She lunged at me and tried to grab my phone . " You actually called the cops ? Are you seriously trying to destroy me ? " I looked at her calmly . " When the whole family let you steal my work , you should've known this day would come .

" Megan finally snapped out of her shock and rushed over to grab my legs , sobbing hysterically . " Nicole , you can't do this to your sister ! She's your own flesh and blood ! Go tell the police you made a mistake , that you two worked on it together ! If you don't , her entire life is ruined ! " I looked down at her . " Why should I care if her life is ruined ? When she stole my work , you all said I was too ugly and embarrassing to appear in front of a national audience .

" Just now , Mom , you brought all our relatives to my shop to harass me , tried to force me to apologize , and cyberbullied me online . Did any of you think about us being family then ? " Connor arrived quickly with a dark expression on his face . " Can't believe our family raised a piece of trash like you who'd backstab her own relatives for some money ! Fine , name your price . How much will it take for you to delete that post and drop the case ? " I looked at his arrogant attitude and almost laughed . " Mr. Walsh , are you confused about something ?

You think everything can be bought with money ? My dignity , my reputation , twenty years of my life ... go ahead and put a price on those . I'd love to hear it . " Connor's face darkened . " Nicole , don't push your luck . Making this bigger won't do you any good . You think posting something online makes you some kind of justice warrior ? Let me tell you something , the real world is way more complicated than you think ." I took a slow breath . " Sign a family severance agreement . Put it in writing that I , Nicole Walsh , have no connection to the Walsh family anymore . We're done .

" Sign it and I won't go to the police , and I'll delete the post . " Amanda clutched her stomach and burst out laughing . " When I see you on the street , don't even say hi . I'm not claiming some homeless orphan as my sister .
