Her entire scheme collapsed when the Vice President of the bank called to ask who she was, confirming that the owner had already paid the full $1.2 million balance ahead of schedule.The notification sound from the \u201cMorrison Family Reunion\u201d group chat echoed through my office like a warning siren. I didn\u2019t even need to read the message to know Jessica was behind it.For the last six months, my cousin had been spreading stories that my architectural firm was failing and that I was buried in debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She seemed obsessed with watching me lose the one thing our grandfather had left solely to me: a breathtaking glass beach house in Malibu. In Jessica\u2019s mind, because she was the \u201cgolden\u201d grandchild who married into a wealthy real estate family, the house should have belonged to her.\u201cTHE BANK FINALLY REPOSSESSED YOUR BEACH HOUSE,\u201d the message read in huge capital letters, followed by champagne emojis. \u201cMy husband\u2019s contacts confirmed it.The foreclosure auction is Monday, and I\u2019m buying it for only $400k. At last, the house will be back in responsible hands. Sorry, Maya, but luxury isn\u2019t meant for everyone.\u201dMy relatives piled on with fake sympathy disguised as insults, while my father\u2014who always trusted Jessica because she presented herself as some financial genius\u2014responded almost immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jessica announced to the entire family that my beach house was being foreclosed on and bragged that she was about to buy it for pennies on the&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":49237,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":59,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49236"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49238,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49236\/revisions\/49238"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/49237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
