Worst of all, because I had no proof to clear my mom’s name, I never had the confidence to stand my ground in front of them.
The moment they saw me walk in, the smiles on their faces vanished almost simultaneously.
Suddenly, the air turned cold.
Damon, my eldest brother frowned, clearly annoyed.
“Why are you here?”
My second brother’s gaze swept over me, paused for a split second, then turned cold.
“Verity! You’ve got some nerve showing up! Perfect timing. I was just about to ask you. Did you pocket Kelsey’s allowance for this month?”
I didn’t even understand what he was talking about.
“What?”
“Don’t play dumb!”
Damon’s voice dropped, heavy with pressure.
“Kelsey just told us she hasn’t received a single cent this month.”
His eyes locked onto me, his tone severe.
“She just moved in and you’re already trying to put her in her place, huh?!”
I felt absurdly wronged.
“I’ve never touched her money.”
“Then did it just disappear on its own?”
My second brother, Damien, let out a cold laugh.
“Hey, is this because Kelsey moved in and took the position you used to have, so now you’re targeting her?”
Right then, Kelsey’s eyes suddenly reddened.
