“I pay the rent here every single day of the year,” I told him through the speaker while the viewer count in the family chat continued to rise. My mother kept sending messages telling me to turn off the feed and to stop embarrassing Tiffany in front of her in laws.
She told me to give them the code and suggested that I should even offer to pay for a hotel room for them as the right thing to do. Tiffany saw that the mood was shifting against her, so she switched to her usual performance of acting like a martyr on the sidewalk.
“Fine, keep your precious apartment to yourself,” she shouted toward the camera before telling the in laws that I was kicking my own family out. I told her to go ahead and tell them that, but to make sure she included the part where she tried to move in eight people without permission.
The family chat went silent for a moment before my father told me that I had done enough and that I needed to stop embarrassing the family. I typed back a question asking why my mother still had a key after I had asked for it back, but no one offered an answer.
