The Money I Paid Made My Brother the Family Hero

The family group chat went off again. Thomas's wife, needling everyone the way she always did.

【Turns out the real daughter's worth less than an adopted son.】

【Won't part with a dime, year after year. Poor old couple, raised themselves an ungrateful snake.】

The relatives piled on, praising my brother for being so devoted.

Every year he posted screenshots of the forty thousand he supposedly wired home in support money.

I hadn't planned to say anything.

But once I saw the whole family debating how ungrateful I was.

I had to speak up.

【Shanna, I think you've got the wrong idea.】
