After Kicking Me Out For My Golden-Child Half-Brother, Six Months Later, Dad Now Wants Me To Lie To Cover Up His Crime Or They’ll Go To Jail.

The story revolves around an 18-year-old young man whose father has always favored his older half-brother Derek. Growing up, the narrator's relationship with his father was distant and strained, worsened by Derek's constant bullying and their father's clear favoritism. When Derek moved out for college, things improved slightly, but their mother’s death left the family broken. After her passing, the narrator's father became emotionally distant and increasingly abusive.

Six months before the story's events, the narrator's father kicked him out of the house to make room for Derek and his family, who returned home after Derek lost his job. The narrator moved in with his grandparents and was preparing for college. However, after Derek was caught stealing from his father's workplace, both Derek and the father found themselves in legal trouble, with the company threatening to sue them. The two visited the narrator, asking him to lie and say that the stolen money was for his college fund to avoid legal consequences.

Despite the emotional manipulation and guilt-tripping by his father and Derek, the narrator refused to help, feeling morally opposed to the deceit and unwilling to be involved in their scheme. He recognized how poorly they had treated him throughout his life and stood firm in his decision. Even when his father became desperate, calling and messaging repeatedly, the narrator blocked him, opting to stay out of the situation entirely.

In the end, with support from his grandparents and his late mother's friend (who happened to be the CEO of the company), the narrator decided not to intervene, believing it was best for his father and Derek to take responsibility for their actions. The CEO expressed willingness to let the matter go if they repaid the money, showing far more leniency than expected. The narrator felt relieved knowing that his mother’s friend was there to support him, even offering future opportunities, reaffirming that he had made the right choice.
