Don't Annoy My Boss Daddy

"Mom, the reason why he has become like this now is because you and Dad have spoiled him since he was a child. Look at him, he's unemployed and always gets into trouble. He's the reason why we're so poor!"

I pointed at Camren, who was hiding behind my mother and said angrily. At this moment, I didn't care whether I would hurt my brother's feelings or not. I only knew that if he went on like this, our family would end up in danger sooner or later.

"What are you talking about? How can you say that about your brother?"

As soon as I finished my words, my mother scolded me immediately before Camren could say anything. She looked at me with anger in her eyes.

She'd always been like this. She always stood up for my brother and had never thought about my feelings. Even though Camren was like this now, they still spoil him and never allowed him to be scolded. "Mom, I'm saying this for his good. He's already in his 20s. He dropped out of school early and now he can't even find a proper job. Do you really want him to leech off you for the rest of your life?"

My mother's protection of my brother made me feel a little uncomfortable, but I'd been used to it for more than 20 years. I just couldn't stand Camren being such a gangster. I really hoped that he could man up a little and help me with the family so that I could relax a little.

"Hollie, that's harsh. I'm your brother. How can you say that?"

Camren argued with me indignantly and seemed to think he was reasonable.

"Harsh? If you work hard to make money to support this family, will I say this to you? You deserve this!"

Camren had always been an unrepentant person. No matter what I said, it was useless. I was angry. I didn't know how many times I scolded him, but he never changed. I was really disappointed in him! "Hollie, what are you doing! I won't allow you to comment your brother like that!"

Seeing that I was still talking, my mother pulled Camren behind her and glared at me.

"Mom, can you stop protecting him like this? How old are you? You don't even have a proper job now. You only know how to eat, drink and gamble every day. If he doesn't change, something will happen sooner or later!"

In the past, I wouldn't have said so much. I would have just vented my anger and let it go. But this time, I didn't want to leave it.

"Hollie, if you continue to talk about your brother like this, I will be really angry. I know that you usually work very hard. You can say a few words about your brother, but you can't go on like this." My mother had always been protecting Camren. I had no way to vent my anger. I wanted to scold Camren, but my mother was protecting him. If I say anything more, my mother will be angry. I glared at Camren angrily and then turned to sit at the dining table.

The main reason why Camren became like this was that our parents spoiled him and protected him. He never had to lift a finger at home, as if he was a god.

"I heard you guys yelling from outside. What's going on?"

My father came into the room. His eyes were fixed on me, and he also had a look of disapproval.

"Nothing, just a quarrel between siblings."

Before I spoke, my mother took the lead in trying to smooth things over.

"It's okay, Dad. I just haven't spoken to Hollie for so long, so I wanted to talk to her."

At this time, Camren also stepped forward and explained.

I was annoyed, but I didn't say anything. My father's heart was bad. If I were to quarrel with Camren at this time, I would be worried about his health, so I could only swallow my anger. Since I hadn't been home for some time, my mother had prepared a nice spread for me.

I was a little touched that she would prepare so much food just for me. Even though my parents favoured Camren, they still loved me.

But just as I was in a good mood, what my mother said next made me feel sad, as if she had poured a basin of cold water on me.

"Camren, eat more. You've lost weight recently. I knew you were coming home today, so I specially made this for you."

It turned out that this dinner was not prepared for me, but for Camren. I overestimated my importance in my mother's heart.

My nose was a little sore. I lowered my head and ate silently, trying to hide the bitterness in my heart.

My mother kept urging Camren to eat for the entire meal. After washing my cutlery and plates, I decided to tell her the purpose of my coming back today. I needed her to give me the 100,000 dollars so that I could return them to Brandon.

At about nine o'clock at night, I waited until Camren went to bed before I knocked on my parents' bedroom door. My parents normally went to bed late, so they should still be up now.

"Come in."

My mother's voice came from inside. I pushed the door open and walked in. My father was lying in bed, reading a book, and my mother was holding a needle and thread in her hand, sewing something. "Hollie, why are you here? What's the matter?"

When my mother saw that it was me, she frowned and looked at me in confusion and asked lightly.

I looked at her and didn't know how to begin.

"Do you have something to say? If you have something to say, just say it."

Looking at my hesitant face, my mother stopped what she was doing and looked at me in confusion.

"Mom, I want you to take the 100,000 dollars out so that I can return it to Brandon."

Hearing my mother's words, I told her the purpose of my visit. I also knew that my family was short of money now, but I had nothing to do with Brandon. My family should never accept a penny from him. However, although I thought so in my heart, my mother got angry as soon as I said it.

"You want me to return the 100,000 dollars? Impossible! How can you ask for the money back?"

My mother suddenly stood up, looked at me angrily, and shouted.

Looking at my mom's excited face, I frowned and felt a little annoyed.

I knew that my mother wouldn't return the money so easily, but how could I take Brandon's money? We weren't a couple.

"Mom, this money is not ours. We should give it back to him now."

I said this anxiously, and my eyes became a little impatient.

"He's already given it to us, how can he ask it back? Hollie, you know how poor we are now. 100,000 dollars will help us a lot. How can you ask me to return it? Did you even think about me and your father?"
