Crazy Two Faced Cousin

I have a cousin who I got along with growing up she had a son at a young age and stayed with her baby dad married few more children all ok - I’m almost 10 years younger than her but she is really standoffish with me. I am close to my aunty her mum and recently moved about 10 miles away from them. Not to be close to her or my aunt but for work and the house specifically was something I wanted. The past few months I get an uneasy feeling whenever around her and she makes me feel uncomfortable and have been thinking perhaps things have been said behind my back etc. Fast forward to today and I was helping her son who has recently moved out with a few things after being asked too by my aunt and her son mentions some things which I found odd. Predominantly that I am the golden child and that I moved to the area just to be close to my aunt. I instantly called it out as BS as I have a close relationship with my parents who live in a neighbouring town etc. AIBU to be angry as I know this has come from her and do I call her out and tell her I think she’s a two faced or do I let it slip and continue to feel uncomfortable. My parents have said she may feel threatened by my as I have a better job earn more money etc but I’m not materialistic and would like to have a good relationship with my family I just want to nip it in the bud.

any advise would be greatly appreciated

If you genuinely want a good relationship with your cousin, I wouldn’t call her out on something you don’t even know came from her that was mentioned in passing by her DS.

I would just try and work on your relationship in positive ways and make an effort to get to know her better
