They Poisoned Me for My Inheritance:So I Destroyed Them AllChapter 1

I came home for New Year's Eve and gave my nephew an eight-thousand-dollar red envelope.

What I didn't expect was that dinner would go sideways—all because I ate one extra rib.

That was enough to make him burst into tears.

My father frowned immediately. "You're a grown woman. Fighting a child over food—how does that look?"

I was about to wave down the server and order another plate when my sister-in-law cut me off with a sidelong glare.

"Must be nice, not having to worry about the cost of things. That plate of ribs was over two hundred dollars!"

"Oh, and Lola Dickerson—when are you going back to work after the holiday?"

I smiled. "I quit. Figured I'd take some time off and rest at home."

Her expression changed instantly.

"You're thirty years old. No husband, no job—what, you're planning to mooch off this family like a parasite?"

"Can you have some boundaries? Do you have any idea how much it costs to run this household?"

"If you insist on staying here, you're paying ten thousand a month in living expenses. Otherwise, move out."

I looked at her and smiled.
