Sister Said That I Stole Her Money From The Wedding And Now The Whole Family Hates Me. Days Later..

sister said that I stole her money from the wedding and now the whole family hates me days later I came to the family dinner showed video proof and shocked everyone the wedding day was as beautiful as anyone could have hoped for my sister Elizabeth was radiant in her designer gown and Brian her now husband looked like the happiest man alive everything went smoothly the vows the champagne toasts the dancing if there was any tension I didn't feel it at least not until the night after the wedding the family had gathered at my parents house to

relax and talk about the big day we were in the middle of rehashing funny moments from the dance floor when Elizabeth stood up dramatically her voice shaking as she announced something that hid me like a truck John stole our Honeyman money $110,000 it's gone the room fell silent I could feel everyone's eyes turned to me my brain couldn't process what she had just said said stole me it was absurd before I could even defend myself Elizabeth went on and on and on she talked about how devastated she was how she'd been crying all day and

how betrayed she felt Brian sat Frozen looking like he'd been hit by a freight train my parents however immediately sprang into action to support her John how could you do this my mother said shaking her head in disappointment you ruined everything steal from your sister your own sister dad added you're not welcome here anymore I tried to speak up to explain that I hadn't touched a dime I pointed out that I had been at the front desk all night in full view of everyone and that I didn't even know where the money was kept Brian

to his credit seemed unsure even saying I don't think John would do something like that but Elizabeth wasn't having it stop defending him Brian she snapped HEK lying I can't believe you take his side over mine John you're disgusting get out of my sight I was stunned the anger in her voice wasn't just about the alleged theft it was personal my parents joined her in telling me that I was no longer part of the family you are no longer our son my father said and that was the final blow I exchanged glances with Brian who

looked as confused as I felt and then I left as I drove away I began to put things together I knew exactly why she was doing this it wasn't about the money it was about our grandmother Grandma had made it clear a few months earlier that she intended to leave me most of her inheritance she believed I would use it wisely and take care of the family Legacy Elizabeth the self-proclaimed Golden Child was Furious she had tried to convince Grand that she deserved the money instead but it hadn't worked now that Grandma's Health was failing

Elizabeth was desperate to make me look like the bad guy it was her way of sabotaging me I was angry but I also knew this wasn't over if she was going to play dirty I could play dirtier I had a secret of my own one I'd kept to protect Brian Elizabeth had been cheating on him for months I hadn't planned on exposing her but after what she'd done all bets were off I began to plan my revenge after that night I couldn't stop thinking about what Elizabeth had done the Betrayal hurt but what hurt even

more was the fact that my parents believed her without a second thought I couldn't even look at my phone because the family group chat exploded with texts about how I had let everyone down and how ashamed they were of me it was as if Elizabeth had flipped a switch and suddenly I was the family villain but I wasn't going to let her win Elizabeth thought she could destroy me and walk away and scathed what she didn't know was that I had been sitting on a bombshell for months back in August I'd accidentally caught her with

someone who wasn't Brian I'd gone to a coffee shop in the next town to meet a friend and there she was sitting in a corner Booth holding hands with some guy I didn't recognize they weren't exactly subtle kissing laughing acting like a full-fledged couple I didn't say anything at the time because honestly it wasn't any of my business I figured it would come back to bite her eventually I just never expected it to be me who'd have to bite back now I needed proof something solid something undeniable I knew her routine well enough she'd always

claimed she was visiting a friend or running errands when she disappeared for a few hours each week it didn't take a genius to figure out what she was really doing my best guess was Thursday around 700 p.m. that seemed to be her usual window so I parked my car down the street from her house and waited sure enough just after 6:45 Elizabeth walked out got into her car and drove away I followed her keeping a good distance so she wouldn't notice she went to the same coffee shop where I'd seen her before the guy was

waiting for her in the parking lot I parked discreetly across the street and started recording ing they hugged then they kissed and not a quick PEC this was the kind of kiss that made it clear that Brian wasn't even a thought in her head they went inside and sat by the window looking like a couple on a romantic date the guy kept leaning and close touching her arm whispering in her ear Elizabeth ate it up I recorded the whole thing 7 Minutes of golden footage that would turn the whole situation on its head when they

finally left I made sure to catch them hugging again before they got into separate cars and drove away I waited until she was long gone before I drove home my heart was pounding all the way home but it wasn't nerves it was anticipation I knew I had something that would shatter her perfect little facade but I wasn't going to rush into it I had to wait for the right moment Elizabeth had gone nuclear on me at a family gathering so it was only fitting that I returned the favor I decided to set up a din

a few days later and pretend to apologize and make amends my parents still angry with me reluctantly agreed Elizabeth didn't hesitate to accept probably thinking it would be her chance to humiliate me further little did she know what was coming the days leading up to the dinner were excruciating I stayed completely quiet even as Elizabeth continued to throw barbs in the family group chat about how some people can't take responsibility for their actions my parents ate it up of course every time I saw a text pop up from them saying something like we are so

proud of you Elizabeth for handling this with Grace I wanted to scream but I kept my cool I knew it would be worth it the morning of the dinner I texted everyone in the family group chat including Brian I said I wanted to meet for dinner and clear the air I owe everyone an explanation I wrote and I need to apologize especially to you Brian my mother replied first saying they'd be there but that I'd better have a damn good reason for what i' done Elizabeth chimed in with a sarcastic remark about how she hoped

I was ready to confess Brian's response was short and neutral just a thumbs up emoji perfect everything was falling into place I spent the day getting ready I loaded the video onto my laptop and tested it to make sure the quality was good I also printed out screenshots just in case anyone tried to accuse me of Faking the footage when I arrived at my parents house for dinner I felt like I was going into a battle and I was ready to win the atmosphere was tense as I walked in my parents barely acknowledged me and

Elizabeth sat at the head of the table looking smog as ever Brian was next to her quiet and reserved as he had been since the accusation I didn't know if he believed I had stolen the money or not but he was clearly keeping his thoughts to himself we all sat down and I began by taking a deep breath first of all I want to say that I'm sorry for how things turn out I know you're all angry with me and I understand why but I've been thinking about everything that's happened and I realize there's something

I should have said sooner something I've been holding back Elizabeth leaned forward slightly her eyes bright with anticipation she probably probably thought I was going to confess my mom and dad just stared waiting Brian looked uncomfortable I pulled out my laptop put it on the table and opened the video file what you're about to see is not easy to watch I said but I think it's important for everyone here to know the truth Elizabeth's smug expression faltered for the first time as I press play the room fell silent as the video began it showed her

walking up to the guy in the coffee shop parking lot hugging him kissing him the date in the coffee shop the way they couldn't keep their hands off each other and then the last shot them hugging again in the parking lot before they drove away the video ended and for a few seconds no one said a word then Brian spoke who the hell is that he asked his voice sharp Elizabeth's face flushed she opened her mouth to speak but no words came out and answer him I said you accused me of stealing of tearing this

family apart when all along you were the one who was lying this isn't your friend is it how long has this been going on Elizabeth stammered but Brian didn't wait for her to answer he pushed back his chair and stood up his face a mixture of anger and disbelief you've been cheating on me he said the whole time I was working my ass off to give you the life you wanted the mald the car all of it for this my parents looked like they'd been hit by a truck my mother turned to Elizabeth her voice

shaking Elizabeth is this true Elizabeth finally managed to speak it's not what it looks like she said but no one believed her this will be a lesson to you Elizabeth I said standing up you started this war all I did was finish it Brian grabbed his his keys and left without another word my parents still in shock turned on me how could you do this to her my father said me I shot back she accused me of stealing 10 grand to make me look bad and I'm the bad guy for showing the truth you should

ask her how far she's willing to go to cover up her lies I didn't wait for an answer I grabbed my stuff and left I wasn't sticking around to hear any more excuses they want Ed a villain and now they had won but this time it wasn't me after the dinner I didn't hear from anyone in my family for days no text no phone calls no attempts to explain or apologize it was radio silence I figured they were probably trying to clean up the mess Elizabeth had made the first person to reach out wasn't even

the family it was Brian he called me two days after the dinner and frankly I was surprised he wanted to talk I thought he might be mad at me for blindsiding him like that but he didn't sound mad at all I just wanted to say thank you he said for being honest I wish it hadn't come to this but I'm glad I know we talked for a while and he told me he'd already started making arrangements to move out of the house he shared with Elizabeth He also mentioned that he'd canceled their trip to the

Maldives and stopped making payments on the car he'd promised to buy her she can figure out her own life now he said I asked him if Elizabeth had tried to talk to him since the dinner she's been blowing up my phone begging me to understand he said but there's nothing to understand she cheated end of story hearing him say that gave me a strange sense of closure at least someone in this whole mess was seeing things clearly a few days later my Mom finally contacted me she sent me along guilty text message about how disappointed

she was in me for ruining Elizabeth's relationship and how fam should always support each other no matter what I stared at the message for a while trying to decide if it was even worth responding to in the end I sent back a short reply family supports each other by telling the truth not by covering up lies maybe you should think about that that didn't go over well my dad followed up with a message telling me I was was being immature and that Elizabeth was still there little girl no matter what she'd done it was ridiculous

they were willing to overlook her cheating and manipulation just because she was their favorite meanwhile Elizabeth remained Silent not a word from her I didn't know if she was too ashamed to speak or if she was planning her next move but either way I didn't care she'd lost her fiance her free trip to the Maldives and probably most of the simp aathy she'd soaked up from my parents still I couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't over Elizabeth wasn't the type to admit defeat if she was quiet it was because she was plotting and I

wasn't wrong a week later she made her move I woke up one morning to a barrage of texts from mutual friends and extended family apparently Elizabeth had begun to spread a new story that I had set her up to ruin her wedding and sabotage her relationship she claimed that I had been following her for weeks trying to catch her slipping and that the video was just a desperate attempt to get back at her for exposing the alleged theft it was absurd but the damage was done some people bought her story especially those who didn't know

the whole story they started texting me calling me Petty and vindictive others thankfully saw through her lies and told me they believed me but I wasn't going to sit back and let them control control the narrative I had all the evidence the video the screenshots the texts if she wanted a public fight I was ready but before I could make a move something unexpected happened Brian stepped in he posted a long message on social media that addressed everything he explained the cheating the accusations the dinner and even my role in exposing the truth John didn't

ruin our relationship he wrote Elizabeth did that all by herself he just showed me what I needed to see if anyone has a problem with him take it up with me the post went viral among our circle of friends and family it shut down most of Elizabeth's supporters overnight people started reaching out to me apologizing for jumping to conclusions even my parents went quiet for a while probably realizing how bad they looked by taking her side so blindly but Elizabeth she doubled down her next move would take things to a whole new level Elizabeth's next

move was as bold as it was stupid she tried to sue me for slander yes you read that right she actually hired a lawyer and filed a lawsuit claiming that I had intentionally destroyed her reputation and caused her emotional distress when I was served with the papers I couldn't decide whether to laugh or get angry she wasn't just desperate she was delusional I didn't waste any time I hired my own lawyer showed them the video the texts and Brian's social media posts and they immediately said I had nothing to worry about this is a scare

tactic they told me but if she wants to go to court we'll go to court and so we did the court date was about a month later most of the family showed up probably out of morbid curiosity Brian was there too sitting quietly in the back Elizabeth arrived with her lawyer looking smug and confident as if she'd already won the judge wasn't impressed her lawyer argued that I had maliciously recorded and distributed private footage of Elizabeth causing her to lose her relationship and social standing but my lawyer immediately shut that down they pointed out that

the footage was taken in a public place and showed behavior that directly contradicted Elizabeth's previous accusations against me they also pointed out that I'd only show own the video to our immediate family until Elizabeth's lies forced the situation into the public eye then came the best part Brian took the stand he testified that Elizabeth had accused me of stealing without evidence and tried to alienate me from the family he confirmed that the video was the only reason he' learned the truth about her cheating John didn't ruin anything he said he saved me from wasting my

life on someone who didn't respect me or our relationship at Elizabeth's lawyer tried to cross-examine him but Brian didn't Flinch he stuck to the facts and left no room for interpretation when it was Elizabeth's turn to testify her story completely fell apart she contradicted herself several times claiming at one point that the man in the video was just a friend and at another point that she and Brian were on a break when it happened the judge wasn't buying any of it by the end of the hearing it was clear where things were headed the judge

dismissed the case ruling that I hadn't defamed Elizabeth and that the evidence I had presented was both truthful and relevant but the real kicker came when the judge scolded Elizabeth directly you have wasted this Court's time with baseless accusations she said it is clear that this lawsuit was an attempt to deflect blame for your own actions I urge you to reflect on the decisions that led you here today Elizabeth left the courtroom in tears after that the tables were turned no one not my parents not our extended family not even her closest friends would have

anything to do with her lies Brian cut off all contact and completed the process of moving out my parents humiliated and ashamed finally admitted they'd been wrong to take her as side it wasn't a dramatic apology just a quiet acknowledgement when my father called me one night and said we made a mistake I hope one day you you can forgive us I told him I'd think about it and I meant it forgiveness wasn't going to be easy after everything they put me through as for Elizabeth she completely disappeared from the Family scene she moved out

of state a few weeks later claiming she needed a fresh start from what I've heard she struggled to keep friends or a job ever since her reputation followed her as it should have I won't pretend that this whole ordeal hasn't left scars it has but in the end the truth prevailed and I was finally free of the cloud Elizabeth had tried to hang over me I don't regret exposing her she started the war and she paid the price
