“Good thing you have another daughter, otherwise you’d be heartbroken.”
“Right, if this were ancient times, that eldest daughter would’ve been cast out by family law long ago. How dare she act so arrogantly today?”
The comments flooded in.
Some even dug up my photos, my college, and where I worked.
A few went so far as to find my phone number, sending abusive texts and calling to harass me.
The mother and daughter were delighted, though they acted pitiful, thanking viewers for “standing up for them.”
Just before the livestream ended, a famous influencer entered the room.
“Hello, I’ve got a reality show about families that would be perfect for you. Would you consider coming on so we can talk things through with your eldest daughter?”
“Of course, of course!” Mom said eagerly, nodding nonstop, even suggesting Emily join too.
“In a family, there are no grudges that last overnight. Emily and I have never given up on her!”
After the influencer agreed, they ended the livestream, both thrilled.
Not long after, Mom called me.
“You’ve been out long enough. Come back tomorrow. Your sister landed a show, and you should come see how things are done.”
