I took my parents and sister in when they had nowhere else to go, but one night, I overheard them on speakerphone plotting to trick me into signing my house over to my sister.

Pathetic—Patrick’s marrying an orphan.” She slammed a thick stack of cash onto the table. “Take this and disappear before the ceremony even begins.” I didn’t flinch. I didn’t even touch the money. I simply murmured, “You’ll regret saying that.” Ten minutes later, the double doors burst open. A billionaire walked in, his voice booming through the hall: “Who just insulted Gregory’s daughter?” The room went dead silent.
