"Stan tried to take my toy. I wouldn't give it to him, so Aunt Casey hit me, She pushed me, and I fell down the stairs," Faye whispered.

Eric's face darkened with anger. He turned to Casey, "Casey, I let you stain my house, and this is how you treat my daughter?"

Casey panicked. "Eric, how can you say that? Faye is a little liar! She fell on her own, and now she's blaming me and Stan. Mom, tell him-tell him she's making it up!"

She anxiously looked at Dawn. Renting in Scaville was too expensive. She and her family had been freeloading at Eric's house, spending his money without contributing a cent. She couldn't afford to be kicked out.

Dawn sighed, shaking her head. "Eric, I was right there. Faye has been lying a lot lately... She tripped on her own, but she's blaming Stan and Casey. And Casey is her elder. A child shouldn't be so disrespectful." Her gaze turned sharp as she looked at Faye, a silent warning in her eyes. "Faye, you shouldn't lie."

Faye sobbed harder. "I'm not lying, Daddy! I'm not lying!"

Eric's expression turned uncertain. "You should move out. I'll arrange a place for you tomorrow," he said firmly.

Casey's face twisted in anger. "Eric, you're seriously taking your daughter's side over your own sister?"

"Eric, there's plenty of space in the house. Why waste money on rent? Faye is just making up stories to get them kicked out. You're spoiling her too much," Dawn said, clearly displeased.

Faye sniffled and looked at Eric with pleading eyes. "Daddy, I don't like Stan. Can they please move out?"

"You see?" Casey scoffed. "She's lying just to get rid of us!"

Eric's frown deepened. He looked at Faye, hesitating. "Faye, no more lying. Tell Daddy the truth-what really happened?"
