She glanced at me, then quickly lowered her head.
“Maybe… she just hasn’t been able to accept me yet. If our sister doesn’t like me, I can try not to appear in front of her so much in the future.”
“Kelsey, there’s no need to care whether she likes you or not. What she thinks doesn’t matter.”
Damon lowered his head, unlocked his phone, and tapped the screen decisively.
The next second, Kelsey’s phone vibrated.
She glanced down, her eyes slowly turning red, then looked up at him in disbelief.
“Damon… this is… this is too much money. I can’t take it…”
“It’s just five hundred thousand.”
His voice was calm, but cold and absolute.
“From now on, I’ll personally give you your allowance.”
After saying that, his gaze shifted back to me.
“As for you, starting today, all the bank cards under your name are frozen.”
I snapped my head up.
“Damon?!”
“Since you haven’t learned how to respect others, take some time to reflect. When you finally figure it out, we’ll talk again.”
My throat tightened. I couldn’t believe my eldest brother would do this to me.
Meanwhile, Damien was already fed up. He stepped forward, his eyes openly hostile.
“If you think this house can’t accommodate you, then leave.”
“Anyway—” He sneered. “You don’t welcome Kelsey, and we don’t welcome you either.”
When I heard that, panic and helplessness surged violently in my chest.
I couldn’t just be convicted like this. I didn’t know whether my mom had been guilty or not, but something I never did, I would not take the blame for.
I pulled out my phone, forcing myself to stay calm.
“Damon. Damien. Please listen to me. I really didn’t touch her money.”
My voice came out rushed.
“I can show you my statements. Every expense I’ve ever made is recorded. I’ve never handled her allowance—not once—”
“Why is everyone just standing around?”
A deep, familiar masculine voice came from the doorway.
Tucker walked in, his assistant following behind him. He was carrying several bags of fresh groceries—clearly just back from the supermarket.
In that instant, I almost instinctively wanted to ask him for help.
But Kelsey was faster than I was.
The moment she saw him clearly, the smile on her face became blinding.
“Bro!”
She practically ran toward him, threw her arms around him, and clung to him like a koala.
“You’re finally here!”
Tucker froze for a moment, instinctively reaching out to support her. The force even made him turn halfway around.
