My name was Rosa Wolfe. As soon as my wedding house was decorated, my sister-in-law chose the guest room and lived in it.

She said she had been abused by her biological father since childhood and had always lived a hard life. She had never lived in such a good house before.

"Rosa, you are beautiful and kind-hearted. You're the best. Can I live with you?"

My husband and my sister-in-law were close, so I reluctantly agreed.

But I didn't expect that she'd be so shameless. She took everything for granted.

She wore my luxury clothes and stole my precious jewelry to sell.

She even wanted to encourage my husband to kill me, his wife!

"Frank, isn't it good to get rid of Rosa and get her inheritance?"

I applauded. "One of you is a scumbag, and the other is a gold digger. You're family indeed!"

***

On the day when the new house was renovated, Frank Bond and I invited our relatives to celebrate.

Moving to a new home was usually a joyous event, but while eating, my sister-in-law started crying suddenly.

Everyone was confused.

Frank and I patiently comforted her for quite a while before she stopped sobbing.

"Frank, Rosa, I'm fine. I'm just too excited! You know the hardships I went through before my mom married Glen!"

As she said this, she started crying uncontrollably again.

Frank was heartbroken and quickly patted her back, patiently comforting her.

"Halle, stop crying. That's all in the past. You're family to Dad and me!"

My sister-in-law's name was Halle Soto, and she came with her mom after her mom remarried.

Glen Bond, Frank's dad, and her mom formed a new family.

As a result, she and Frank became step-siblings.

"Frank!"

Halle suddenly grabbed Frank's hand, crying.

"I'm afraid that after you get married, you won't be nice to me anymore!"

I frowned and stared at their hands tightly holding together, feeling very uncomfortable.

Before I could even speak, Frank beat me to it.

"Halle, relax. No matter what, I will always treat you well!"

I felt even more uncomfortable.

At this moment, Glen said, "Halle, don't worry. Rosa isn't a narrow-minded person.

"Am I right, Rosa?"

He suddenly talked to me. I was stunned for a second and then nodded.

"I'm glad. Then, Rosa, can I stay in the guest room?"

Halle said.

Although her voice wasn't loud, she shocked everyone.

She pouted her lips and said, aggrieved, "I was abused by my father when I was a child, and I had to farm and feed pigs before dawn every day. Not to mention that I slept next to the pigsty. I've never had my own room.

"Frank, Rosa, I really like your house so much!"

She wiped her tears and brought up her past again.

To be honest, I was so sick of hearing her stories, and she never got tired of talking about them!

I felt nothing when hearing her stories, but Frank and Glen were so moved.

Frank immediately looked at me with a pleading expression.

"Rosa, Halle has suffered so much. I can't bear to see her like this.

"Anyway, since we are not ready to have a child yet, why don't we let Halle stay in the guest room? We'll be fulfilling one of her wishes. It's not hard for us, right?"

I laughed out of anger. "Frank, do you even know what wedding houses mean?

"Besides, we agreed back then that the guest room was for our parents to live with our baby!

"Moreover, now that you've moved out, can't she stay in your previous room?"

I got angry whenever I thought about that.

Frank's family was kind of poor.

Glen and Frank lived in a building without an elevator. Their place was nearly 80 square meters.

When it was just the two of them, it was fine. After all, they lived in separate rooms, and it wasn't crowded.

But soon after, Glen married Halle's mother, Grace Barton.

A family of two suddenly became a family of four.

But there were still only two rooms.

Glen could live with Grace.

But what about Frank and Halle?

Glen came up with a solution, which was using a cabinet to divide the room in half.

Frank and Halle shared the room.

When I first found out that he had been living with Halle, I couldn't believe it.

Frank explained to me that he and Halle were just siblings, and I didn't have to think too much about it.

But they weren't blood-related!

Later, at my strong request, Frank moved out of the house and started living with me.

Even the wedding house was bought due to my strong request.

I wanted us to be further away from Halle.

Now she actually wanted to live with us?

Why?

Frank had always been obedient to me, but this time, he was unusually resolute.

"Rosa, seriously, you and I will live in the master bedroom, and the guest room will be vacant anyway. It'll be such a waste. Why not let Halle stay there?

"I promise. When you get pregnant, Halle will go back!"

Grace also chimed in.

"He's right. Rosa, Halle has already grown up. It's not appropriate for her to squeeze with us in such a small place!

"You are all young people, and living together won't be a hard thing.

"Halle has always told me that the person she admires the most is you!

"It's not easy to build a career on your own and to achieve the success you have today! You are her role model!

"Let her follow you and learn!"

So, it's appropriate for her to live with us?

They kept talking, speaking up for Halle.

"Rosa, you are beautiful and kind-hearted. You're the best. Can I live with you?"

Halle stared at me.

"Rosa... Please... I'm begging you..."

Frank's plea made me surrender.

I agreed for his sake.

"Fine!"

"Thank you, Frank. Thank you, Halle!"

Halle was instantly delighted.

A hint of a triumphant smile flashed across her eyes.

It lasted less than a second.

It was so fast that I felt it was my illusion.

Suddenly, I had a bad feeling.

My bad feeling soon turned out to be true.

My parents died early, leaving me with a factory on the verge of bankruptcy.

I saved the toy factory on my own.

I even tripled the size of the original factory.

It was now 8,000 square meters.

I wouldn't say I was rich, but I had enough money to spend.

That was why I didn't start looking for a partner until I was 30.

At this age, it was difficult to find someone who wasn't after my money.

Frank was one of the few ones.

He was honest, responsible, and cared about his family. He was my ideal husband.

I didn't spend money recklessly. On the contrary, I was very thrifty.

However, as a businesswoman, I needed some good things so that I would look good when I was out.

Therefore, I bought quite a few luxury clothes, bags, and precious jewelry.

On this day, I had to attend a dinner party, but I couldn't find my specially tailored Armani suit jacket.

I rummaged through my room for a long time, but I couldn't find the suit jacket that had been hanging in my closet.

I asked Frank, and he said he never touched it and didn't know.

It was about time for the dinner. I had to settle and change into another outfit.

But when I returned home after the late-night dinner, I saw my Armani suit on Halle on the sofa!

She was happily sitting with Frank, watching TV and chatting, looking very pleased!

I was instantly furious and rushed over to question her.

"Halle! Why are you wearing my clothes?"

The two were having a good time chatting and were startled by me.

"Rosa, what's this about?"

I couldn't be bothered to waste my time on her and directly started taking off the jacket.

"Rosa! Stop! What are you doing?"

Halle kept shrinking into Frank's arms.

"Rosa! Rosa!"

Frank grabbed my hand and asked anxiously.

"What are you doing?"

He was more powerful than me, and I had to let go of Halle.

"Why are you wearing my jacket?"

Tears began to well up in Halle's eyes.

"Rosa, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I thought it looked good, so I wanted to try it on."

"What's wrong with you?"

I was pissed off by her.

"Don't you need to ask for my permission if you want to wear my clothes?

"Taking without asking is stealing! Do you know that? I can call the police!"

Her tears flowed down all of a sudden, and she was so flustered.

It made Frank feel heartbroken.

"Rosa! It's just a jacket.

"You have so many clothes, Why can't Halle try one on?"

Frank's words were like adding fuel to the fire, and I was even more furious.

He looked OK in the past. How come he was such a fool right now?

"Just because I have a lot of clothes, others can wear them whenever they want?

"The problem is that she took it without asking me! This is stealing!"

Frank frowned in disagreement.

"Rosa, we're family. Why can't we share things?

"Does it count as stealing if I use your money?"

I didn't know Frank could be so eloquent.

He was so good at quibbling!

"I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Let me tell you this. You are not allowed to wear my clothes!"

I looked at Halle, who looked like a frightened deer, and said word by word.

"I'm sorry, Rosa, I'll give it back..."

She took off the jacket while crying as if she had suffered a great humiliation.

"Don't fight with Frank because of me..."
