"After dinner, let's go through them together. Let's see how much money I've transferred to you over the years.

"Let's also see how much you have left now and where the money went.

"Let's clear all the accounts from these years."

The whole family froze on the spot. Tony immediately stood up and demanded to know what I meant by this.

The previously harmonious atmosphere was shattered, and Jason and Mary looked even more displeased.

"Lydia, haven't you caused enough trouble?" Jason asked with a dark expression.

"Doing this in front of outsiders? Do you have to make a scene and disrupt the family?" he added, clearly annoyed.

Okay, so now they were blaming me for causing trouble.

I suppressed my anger.

It was frustrating to feel so insignificant. To them, I didn't even matter as much as a stranger.

They could warmly welcome this newly arrived girl, but no one cared about my feelings.

"You said I was living of my parents, right? Let's see who's really living of my parents," I said, placing the bank statements in front of Jason and Mary.

"And since you've been living in my room all these years, let's settle the accounts properly today."

Jason and Mary knew about the statements. Every month, I had given them a significant amount of money.

They were clearly embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Tony also knew, but Jessica was completely shocked, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"How is that possible? Where did a college student get so much money?"

Jessica suddenly seemed to understand, looking at me with disdain.

"These must be fake. You're trying to deceive me with these, aren't you?" she accused.

I didn't even bother to respond to her, keeping my gaze fixed on Jason and Mary.

"You two should go through the statements and see if there's any issue."

Jason and Mary sat there, speechless, but Tony slammed the table angrily.

"Lydia, how did we end up raising such an ungrateful person like you?

"Mom and Dad raised you, and now you're calculating the cost with them?"

His outburst was filled with guilt.

It was clear that even Tony knew where the money came from.

Yet, despite knowing this, he still went along with the plan to kick me out, which only made me more determined.

Today, this must be resolved.

"You can never repay the debt of being raised by Mom and Dad, no matter how much money you make!"

Jessica chimed in, emboldened by Tony's words.
