Love the Right One1
The company went public, I received a 100 million-dollar dividend, and I was ready to return to my hometown and enjoy my life.
I told my mom Mary I had something important to announce when I returned over the weekend.
I joked that the company was laying off employees and I would live with them from now on.
It was scorching hot. The security of the community said they didn't have my identity information, so it took them a long time before they let me in.
I was sweating all over and carrying my suitcase. As soon as I got to the door, I heard my brother-in-law Stephan Waston's voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? Does the staff of the Housing Authority work on the weekend? Why do you want to transfer the property suddenly?"
Mary advised, "Hurry up. Eva has lost her job. If she wants the house back, where will you live?"
Stephan said in a loud voice, "A woman in her thirties who doesn't get married but still lives off her parents. Just let her get out and rent a house!
"Tom who is lame downstairs hasn't married yet, why don't..."

My hand froze as I was about to knock on the door.
The joyful smile on my face disappeared in an instant.
I felt suffocated.
I didn't know if it was because I was ill or heartbroken.
I didn't expect that because of a joke I made, they wanted to sell me to the cripple as his wife.
After standing there for a while, I knocked on the door.
My parents had always preferred my older sister Stella since I was a child.
In addition, Stella gave birth to a boy when she was 18 years old. I knew my parents loved her and spoiled her son.
But Stella always spoke up for me, so I thought she shouldn't know about this.
I was stunned for a moment, and my father Johnson opened the door.
When he saw me, he frowned and muttered, "How did you get in?"
Thinking of the security guard who just stopped me, I felt bad again, but I didn't say anything and went in to change my shoes.
Mary heard the noise and came over quickly with a forced smile. She said, "Eva, why didn't you tell us or ask us to pick you up before you came back?"
"I was so busy that I forgot to tell your dad and the others that you were coming back, so we didn't go to pick you up."
"Okay."
I replied calmly, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw my ID card, birth certificate, and other certificates on the table.
I pretended to be indifferent and asked casually, "Are you going out to do something?"
