Imagine offering to pay for your niece's boarding school education, only to be accused of trying to steal her away from her mother! That's exactly what happened to one woman, who thought she was doing a good deed for her brother's family. The girls, Luisa and Sophie, are cousins and best friends, but their families come from different backgrounds. The mother, Rebecca, has always felt a bit out of place in her husband's more privileged family. When the aunt offered to pay for Sophie's boarding school, she thought it would be a dream come true for her brother and his wife. Little did she know, it would spark a family feud that would leave everyone questioning their actions. 🤔🎓
