My SIL Crossed The Line When She Kicked My Kids Out Of Her Party So I Got Revenge

It was Julia, who’d catered Isla’s party. We’d become friends over the years, bonding over our shared status as “outsiders” in the Preston social circle.

“Marcia, you’re not going to believe what I overheard,” she said, her voice tight with anger. “Isla was bragging about the whole thing. She bought those costumes specifically to kick you out!”

“What?” I gripped the phone tighter, sinking onto the sofa.

“She told Roger, and I quote, ‘Finally, I put that brat and her little brats in their place.’ And he laughed! Called you guys a ‘discount superhero act.’” Julia paused, her disgust evident. “There’s more.”

I sighed. “Let me have it, Jules.”

“Isla called you a circus act and said, ‘At least now everyone knows exactly where they stand in this family.’”

The pieces clicked into place.

My mother-in-law’s reaction to our costumes, the setup, and the humiliation had all been a calculated attack on my family, using my children’s joy as ammunition.

“Thanks, Julia,” I said quietly, my mind already racing with possibilities. “I appreciate you telling me. Isla is not going to get away with this.”

Two days later, I stood in front of the billboard I’d rented across from Isla’s estate. Our family photo from the festival beamed down at the street, showing all of us in our “discount” costumes, faces painted, completely joy-filled.

The best part was the text above it: “The Real Super Family: No Villains Allowed.”

The town gossip mill exploded. Texts and calls poured in, some subtle, others openly gleeful about Isla’s costume scheme backfiring. Memes started making the rounds on social media.
