Ethan had always belittled Amanda’s cooking, frequently comparing it unfavorably to her sister Olivia’s professional meals. His harsh words, like “worthless in the kitchen,” had stung deeply over the years. One night, after another round of criticism, Amanda decided she’d had enough. She hatched a plan to prove her skills.

The next day, Amanda visited Olivia, seeking her help. She proposed a clever scheme: cook every meal herself, package them as Olivia’s, and charge Ethan $750 a month. Olivia agreed, excited to support Amanda.

Over the following months, Amanda secretly prepared delicious dishes, while Ethan praised “Olivia’s” cooking. Eventually, Amanda orchestrated a dinner party with Ethan’s friends and family. During the event, she revealed her secret—every meal was her own. Ethan was stunned and embarrassed, but he apologized and appreciated Amanda’s culinary talents. Amanda, feeling triumphant, used the money she’d saved to treat herself to a luxurious spa retreat.
