"I'm your father!" The weight of Oliver's words hung heavily in the air, and the guilt laced within his voice was palpable, resonating with everyone who was listening intently.

The group chat erupted into a frenzy, a cacophony of messages that mercilessly mocked him and his entire family. As the tension mounted, Oliver's voice notes became increasingly terse, his tone spiraling into a frantic pitch. He seemed to be consumed by a fear that others might misinterpret Lydia's actions, causing him to momentarily forget his intention to chastise Autumn. Instead, he found himself embroiled in a heated debate with the others in the chat. "Lydia isn't like that!" he insisted, desperation creeping into his words.

"Don't you all dare take this too far!" "She's your niece, and you're the adults in this situation! How can you tear her down like this?" His overt favoritism only served to ignite the anger simmering within the group chat, fueling their outrage further. In a bold move, the Auntie initiated a group voice call, her determination evident. As Autumn joined, she was immediately met with her aunt's sharp, biting tone. "Oliver, I almost feel embarrassed for you just hearing those words come out of your mouth!" "Honestly, both girls are remarkable in their own ways.

Autumn is mature and sensible; she's always been capable. Lydia is the bubbly one, full of life and charm, and she's brought joy to all of us." "It's perfectly fine if you have a preference for the lively one, but you can't just walk all over Autumn like this!" "The Lopez Group was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy because of your blunders, and you just dumped the entire mess onto Autumn's shoulders. Not only did she have to start a new business alongside her husband, but she also had to pick up the pieces of the disaster you created at the company.

Meanwhile, you and your wife have been living it up, vacationing here, there, and everywhere. You just spent all that time abroad-where do you think that money came from?" "What has Lydia done for you all these years? Ask yourself honestly, have you truly treated your two daughters equally? What did Autumn do to deserve such a different treatment?" "It's one thing for you two to fawn over Lydia, but why drag Mars into this? Yes, he's your son-in-law, but he's married to your older daughter, not your younger one!

If Lydia thrives on being pampered by a man, then she should just get married already!" "I seem to remember your wife constantly trying to set Autumn up with so-called 'eligible bachelors,' wasn't she? So why has she gone silent now that it's her own daughter's turn? Has she finally realized that none of those suitors were good enough for her precious Lydia? Her true stepmother colors are really showing, aren't they?" The Auntie was on a roll, a true force to be reckoned with in the family group chat. After this barrage of truth, Oliver found himself forced into retreat. "You...

you're being incredibly harsh. It's not as if we're completely unfair to Autumn. Both Autumn and Lydia are my daughters. Of course, I love them both." Without missing a beat, the Auntie shot back, "Then why do you treat them so differently, right down to how you talk about them?" "Isn't that a double standard right there?" Oliver was left speechless, the weight of the accusations pressing down on him. With all the dirty laundry now aired, Autumn finally decided to intervene. She played the role of peacemaker, but her words were like pouring gasoline on an already raging fire.

"Auntie, I truly appreciate you standing up for me. I was being impulsive just now. We're all family, and I really shouldn't have acted like that." "Lydia is my sister, after all. I shouldn't say anything about her wanting to come live with us. My dad did mention once that what's mine is also Lydia's. So let's just leave it at that. I can handle myself and the baby on my own." "I'm really sorry for all the drama today, everyone.

Next time, I'll make sure to treat you all to a meal to make it up to you." As she spoke, Autumn sent several generous cash gifts to the group chat, each one a small token of goodwill. Within seconds, all the gifts were claimed. When they saw the amount of cash, those who had been wavering immediately jumped to support Autumn. Some felt a twinge of guilt for accepting the money without voicing their opinions, while even those who had intended to remain silent found themselves chiming in with supportive comments. Autumn made it a point to thank each of them, her gratitude sincere.

Meanwhile, Oliver, now painted as the public enemy, felt a surge of frustration that nearly sent him into a fit. He sent a direct message to Autumn, reprimanding her for being ungrateful and for airing their family's dirty laundry in such a public forum. But instead of responding privately, Autumn took a screenshot of his message and shared it in the group chat. With a tone of utter bewilderment, she added, "Dad, aren't these people our family? Why can't I talk to them? Besides, I was just trying to express how hurt I felt. How is that 'gossiping'?

Does this mean I should just keep my mouth shut from now on in this family? Lydia is making my husband take care of her at the hospital, and now she's about to barge into my home to live with us. Am I not even allowed to say a single word about it?" Autumn's message struck a chord, garnering a wave of support from the group. Suddenly, even more people began to criticize Oliver. Though they didn't dare confront him directly, they were more than willing to throw in a few passive-aggressive comments. After reading a few messages, Oliver was so enraged that he smashed his phone against the table.

Mrs. Lopez heard the commotion and approached him, her curiosity piqued. Only after consulting with her husband did she realize that Autumn had actually stood her ground this time. Her eyes flitted around the room, confusion evident on her face. While she couldn't quite grasp why Autumn had suddenly decided to stop tolerating their behavior, she wasn't afraid of a little pushback. "Oliver, dear, you and Lydia were definitely in the wrong this time. Autumn just found out she's pregnant, and first you have Mars staying at the hospital to care for Lydia, then you want Lydia to move back in.

Anyone would be upset in her position." "How about this? You go and explain things to Mars. Tell him we treat both our daughters the same, so he shouldn't be upset. We've really put him in a tough spot this time. At the end of the day, he's Autumn's husband. What does it look like for him to constantly be taking care of his sister-in-law?" Oliver scoffed, his disdain palpable. "What's wrong with that? So a brother-in-law and sister-in-law aren't family now? Besides, Mars is helping Lydia because he wants to.

Are we supposed to tell Lydia she's not deserving of his kindness?" "If you ask me, this is all Autumn's fault!" "She's been married to Mars for years and only just got pregnant. She can't even manage her own husband, and instead of focusing on herself and the baby, she's running to the group chat to stir up trouble. Does she not realize how much our relatives love to gossip?" "She just had to air all this out and embarrass our entire family." A faint smile flickered across Mrs. Lopez's lips, though she kept her agreement to herself.

Instead, she calmly replied, "Autumn has never really been close to us anyway. The fact that she's voicing her concerns in the group chat just shows that she doesn't have anyone else to confide in." "Why don't we invite her here for her pregnancy? Being pregnant is stressful, and Mars is busy managing his company, so he won't have much time. Plus, this is their first baby, and neither of them has any experience.

If Autumn could come stay at the main house, with the staff to look after her, wouldn't that be better than her being alone at home, overthinking everything?" "That way, we can be immediately aware of her needs, right?" "And besides..." Mrs. Lopez trailed off, lowering her gaze as if reluctant to continue. Oliver had been listening intently, and seeing her pause, he frowned and pressed, "Besides what? Don't leave me hanging!" With a sigh, as if the words were being dragged from her, Mrs. Lopez finally spoke. "Besides, the Lopez Group has been doing quite well these past few years.

Didn't they just sign a deal with Mistveil Group? Once that project is completed, the nearly defunct Lopez Group will be fully revived." "Oliver, don't think I'm just trying to fight over the inheritance. When I married you, I made it clear that I didn't care about any of that. I just feel it's unfair to you." "You retired so young. Can you honestly say you're happy with that?" Conclusion In the tumultuous aftermath of the family confrontation, a fragile peace began to settle over the Lopez household.

Autumn, having bravely confronted the long-standing imbalances in her family's dynamics, emerged with newfound strength and clarity. No longer willing to be overshadowed, she stood up for herself and her right to express her feelings, even if it meant ruffling feathers. The support she received from the group chat, coupled with her aunt's unwavering defense, acted as a balm for her bruised spirit, igniting a flicker of hope that perhaps, just perhaps, her family could learn to embrace equality and understanding.

The tension that once suffocated their interactions began to dissipate, replaced by a collective realization that change was necessary for healing. As Oliver grappled with the fallout of his actions, he found himself at a crossroads, forced to confront the consequences of his favoritism and the impact it had on his daughters. The weight of his family's criticisms hung heavy on his shoulders, but it also sparked a glimmer of introspection. The conversations with Mrs.

The stakes are high as Autumn grapples with her newfound voice, navigating the complexities of family expectations while preparing for motherhood. Moreover, the potential invitation for Autumn to stay at the main house adds another layer of intrigue to the narrative. How will she react to the idea of living under the same roof as the very people who have contributed to her feelings of inadequacy and resentment?
