I said, "Mom, if I hadn't been paying Megan to fix the problem, her company would have gone bankrupt a long time ago."
Kayla said, "Don't quibble. You are the one who is bankrupt now! We feel ashamed to have a daughter like you. We are too embarrassed to talk to our relatives and friends!"
I said, "Then you can just pretend that you don't have a daughter like me."
Dad snorted, "We didn't have a daughter like you in the first place. We came here today just to sever ties with you!"
I said, "Mom and Dad, are you really going to cut off ties with me? You don't need me to support you anymore?"
"We can't count on you. Hopefully you won't be a burden to us."
I looked at my parents in front of me without much emotion, because I had accumulated enough disappointment and no longer had any expectations.
Now that I was broke and of no use to them, they couldn't wait to get rid of me.
That was great, just what I wanted.
I said, "Then let's make a deal."
"It's already been drafted."
Megan threw the agreement at me and said, "This is the agreement I asked a lawyer to draft. We have already signed it. If you think it's okay, just sign it."
