Brother gave me an empty card, wants my apartment. Chapter 1

My younger brother slandered me for using the money he earned from his summer job to reward the male anchor.

My parents cursed me in the most vicious words.

Seeing my brother's smug look, I casually showed him his spending records.

The whole family was dumbfounded.

……

"Mia Lewis, where is my money?"

My brother pushed open my door and started asking me questions.

I didn't sleep all night in order to finish the manuscript. Now that it's almost finished, I just want to lie in bed and have a good sleep.

I don't want to pay any attention to his madness.

"I'm very sleepy and tired now. I want to go crazy and look for my parents. I don't have time..."

Before I could finish my words, he dropped my laptop to the ground with a bang.

Looking at the screen that went black in an instant, I felt my blood boiling.

"Zack Lewis! I have a manuscript due soon and I didn't sleep all night..."

He ignored my roar completely, and even crossed his arms across his chest, looking at me with a smug look on his face.

"You deserve it! You stole my money, and this is what happens. Return my money now, it's not much, just $10,000."

My parents almost flew into my room without even putting down the breakfast in their hands.

Looking at the mess on the ground, their first reaction was that I had provoked my brother.

"Mia, what's wrong with you? Can't you just calm down?"

The mother looked her brother up and down anxiously, "Zack, come here and let me take a look. Are you hurt anywhere?"

I have long been accustomed to my parents' favoritism.

But at this moment, I still felt like someone was grabbing my heart.

The feeling of being wronged suffocated me, and my head felt like it was about to explode.

"he……"

Before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by Zack.

"Mom and Dad, I worked for two months, and my sister took all my wages. I wanted to buy you gifts, but now I have nothing."

The twenty-year-old boy is almost a head taller than my dad.

I forced out two tears.

Now, my parents naturally felt even more distressed.

"Oh, my dear..."

With red eyes, the mother hugged Zack and comforted him.

My father glared at me as I was cleaning up the mess.

"You still have the nerve to accept it, I'll let you accept it!"

He viciously threw the scalding soy milk and tofu pudding in his hands at me, it felt hot and painful.

"dad……"

At this moment, I can no longer hold back all my grievances.

Tears mixed with hot soy milk flowed down.

Zack had only worked for two months, and they felt so sorry for him that they wanted to take his place.

But I didn’t forget that I earned all my tuition for four years of college by working part-time.

"You still have the nerve to cry. You have everything you need at home, but you don't even feel the least bit grateful. How could I raise an ungrateful person like you?"

I wiped my face roughly and spoke with sobs.

"I pay $3,000 a month for household expenses, and what do I get? A room that was converted from a utility room, and it doesn't even have a window."

"What about Zack? He even has an e-sports room. You guys favor the son over the daughter!"

These words completely touched my parents' sore spot.

They have always boasted of "gender equality" outside, but when I really pulled off this fig leaf, they naturally broke down.

With a 'slap', my father slapped me in the face.

The slap on my face was burning with pain. Even though I was the one being hit, my mother held Zack tightly in her arms.

My father stared at me, there was no guilt in his eyes, and he looked so ferocious as if he wanted to cut me into pieces.
