I hoped lending my car to my daughter-in-law, Chloe, would ease our strained relationship. Instead, she returned it scratched, dirty, and stinking, then lied about it. My son, Ethan, backed her, breaking my heart. I stayed calm but planned a sharp response. Chloe needed to know I wasn’t a pushover.
That night, I got animal attractant spray from a pet shop and went to their house while they slept. I sprayed their yard, porch, and driveway, then left, excited for what would follow. The next day, Ethan called, upset about animals trashing their place and a foul smell. I played innocent, but Chloe knew it was my payback.
It worked perfectly. Chloe’s polite now, and Ethan calls like old times. No yelling—just a smart move. My quiet revenge restored my dignity and showed them I’m not to be crossed.
