“Who the hell are you to talk to my sister like
that? Calling her a loser as if you were
something special!”
“Security! Get these people out of here!”
My brother’s words broke my parents‘ hearts.
“Brian? How can you say that? We’re doing
this for you!”
“She’s a useless loser. You are the
breadwinner!”

My dad reached out to pull my brother close.
My brother dodged him.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped where
my dad had touched him.
His disgust hurt my dad.
He glared at me, like I had brainwashed his
son.
I glared back.
My dad’s temper finally snapped.
He puffed out his cheeks and yelled at me. “Bitch! You turned Brian against us!”
“I swear, I’ll beat you to a pulp today if my
name isn’t Pearson!”
He charged at me, but I kicked him in the
chest.
Then I dropped a bomb.
“I already told you, he’s not Brian Pearson.”
“If you don’t believe me, see for yourselves.”
I threw the documents at them.
They looked at each other, confused.
But they opened the documents.
When they saw the results, they were
shocked.
“No, this… this can’t be!”
“You! You faked it so we couldn’t be
together!”
They looked at my brother, then at the
results.
They were heartbroken.
But they weren’t going to give up.
“If Brian isn’t my son, then whose son is he?
He couldn’t have come from your womb!”
They were desperate, hoping I would give
them the answer they wanted.
But before I could speak, Mayor Shaw spoke
- up.
“Brian is my son.

“He’s not the Brian you know. And I don’t
know why my servants are here trying to
claim my son.”

The mayor’s words silenced everyone.
Then, people gasped.
I saw my dad shaking.
“I don’t know how much money she gave you,
but Brian is our son.‘

“Fifteen years ago, we had an accident at the
construction site and had to leave our
children. We’ve been guilty ever since. Now
that we have a chance to make things right,
you’re taking it away from us.

My dad was crying. Many people started to
believe him.
I was disgusted.
