A Spilled Boba Tea and the Fall of the "Golden Boy" Chapter 1

My younger brother's new girlfriend practically kicked me out of my own car.

"This car is going to be my property one day. If you don't take care of it, you don't deserve to drive it."

Left stranded in the pouring rain, soaking wet and humiliated, I watched them drive away.

Then, I pulled out my phone and dialed 911 without a second thought.

"Hello, police? I've just been carjacked."

I recently closed a massive deal at work. To reward myself, I bought a Porsche.

During a family dinner, I pulled out the keys to share my excitement.

My parents immediately praised my hard work.

I was just about to say something when my younger brother's new girlfriend, Mia, inexplicably lost her mind.

She stood up, slamming her hands on the table, and aggressively interrogated me:

"Did you get permission from me and Liam before you bought that car? Did we authorize you to blow money like that?!"

I was completely dumbfounded.

I couldn't fathom why I needed her permission to spend my own hard-earned money on a car.

But, out of respect for my brother, I patiently explained:

"I was in a great mood, so it was a bit of an impulse buy. Besides, I used my own money, not my parents', so I didn't think I needed to announce it."

"But hey, if you guys like the car, you're welcome to borrow it sometime."

I thought my explanation would calm her down.

Instead, she looked at me with pure disdain.

"Don't use our own money to pretend you're doing us a favor."

"You're an unmarried woman, what 'own money' do you possibly have?! Let me make this clear: from now on, every single cent you spend has to be approved by me and Liam!"

The moment that bizarre, delusional statement left her mouth, the mood at the table instantly soured.

To be honest, none of us were thrilled about my brother's new girlfriend to begin with.

But since Liam seemed so infatuated with her, we kept our mouths shut.

I never expected her to be this astronomically delusional.

I guess I really gave her too much leeway.
