Woman Accused of ‘Showing Off’ After Stepfather Insults Her Financial Status

Despite having a six-figure salary, her stepfather would always make snide remarks about her financial status. But when he crossed the line at a family dinner, she decided enough was enough and took matters into her own hands.
