Then she twisted my brother's arm. "Shane, Olivia is already giving me attitude before I'm married. Do I have to deal with this outsider once I move in?"

Shane glanced at me awkwardly, giving me a pleading look. "Olivia, it's Jane's first day here. Can you give her a break?" he said.
I took a deep breath. Fine, for my brother's sake, I decided not to argue with her.
Jane saw me calm down and started to chatter even more.
"You're just bored and have nothing to do! You should be out dating instead of sitting around. No wonder you're so old and still not married!" she said.
I turned and glared at my brother. Shane quickly put his arm around Jane's shoulder. "Please, stop talking," he said.
Jane noticed the exchange of looks between me and my brother. Suddenly, she got a mischievous look and shook off his hand, starting to stir trouble.
"Shane, I think she cares more about that cat than you," she said.
I almost laughed in anger. "Did you eat something disgusting? Your mouth is so foul," I said.
Jane's expression changed. "Do you think I want to interfere? But who asked you to stay here constantly without getting married, freeloading, and even keeping a useless pet?
"If you want to keep it, that's fine. But from now on, you'll have to hand over half your monthly salary as rent and living expenses. And you better not take another penny from Shane's parents.
"Also, you must move out before Shane and I get married," she said.
I was completely speechless. Did she even realize what she was saying? How shameless!
Most of the money for this house came from my earnings from live streaming, and the property deed is in my name.
"Who do you think you are?" I said.
Jane raised her head proudly. "Who am I? I'll be the lady of this house once I marry Shane," she said.
"So you know you're not married yet?
I've never met someone so shameless in my life!"
My brother awkwardly pressed his lips together and tried to pull Jane's hand to lead her inside.
I couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore. I opened the door and bluntly told her, "Sorry, but you're not welcome in my house!"
Jane was angry after hearing that.
"How dare you! I called you 'Olivia' out of courtesy, and you think you're above me? You don't welcome me? Do I need your welcome to visit my boyfriend's house?
