Author: Little Hedgehog
Dick was taken into custody only to be released a few days later, but his world would never be the same. Everyone hated his guts. They attacked him every time he showed his face, and he had to take up refuge at Yvonne's.

My parents used to be nice to him because he brought in enough money and everything else for them. But now he lost most of their money, so they only had bitterness for him.

My mother got into fights with Dick all the time. Dad turned to alcohol and drained the house's supplies. He spent his days in torpor.

Yvonne would not allow anyone to push Dick around. When she tried to de-escalate the situation one time, she pushed our mother down to the ground by accident. That hurt her back and landed her a stay in the hospital.

Yvonne and Dick had no grounds to stay at our parents' place anymore, so they found a place elsewhere. Yvonne even dropped out of school just to stay with Dick.

The news did not surprise me at all. She could even corner her own brother and kill him

    The cops suspected me as well. At this rate, they would take me back to the station for further questioning.Dick was lying on the recliner nearby. His eyes fluttered open. He only choked on water. That did not take long to come back from. He said weakly, "He did not mean to. This is a mistake, everyone."That gained more sympathy from the people, and that made them sure I was the would-be killer. If I played along, he would have an excuse to use if he lost the competition.Yvonne gave me a scathing glare before she hurried over to Dick. "The cops will give you justice, Dick.""Thanks," said Dick, but he was not looking at Yvonne. Instead, he was looking at me. I could see the gloating in his eyes.I smiled at him and took off the necklace I was wearing. My father stopped me. He thought I wanted to bribe the cops."What are you doing? Bribing an official will land you in prison! Don't do anything funny!""Oh, don't worry. I won't tell everyone you bribed Mr. Lawson with eight go

  • After I Quit, The Plagiarist Panicked   Chapter 7 That Won't Work

    Dick lost his composure. It was replaced by a hint of madness. It was not my first time handling guys like him.I sponsored an underprivileged girl in my previous semester. In the end, she and her co-conspirators came after me. After that falling out, I demanded that she give me back all the money I invested on her.I stopped sponsoring anyone after that incident.Zack's parents abused him all the time. He was fortunate that he knew me since we were kids. I would lend him anything he asked, even the codes. They were supposed to be secrets, but I lent him for academic purposes.I thought we were best friends, given our history. In the end, he gave in to temptation. He was not wrong for trying to find a way out. He was wrong for trying to ruin me over it.Yvonne was just as mediocre as our parents. She was their perfect replica.Dick snapped me out of my thoughts. "It doesn't matter. Soon, the whole city will hate you!"I wondered what he meant, and then a heavy weight was pulling

    No matter how much I helped them, they would only still see me as a tool. They would still abuse me."If you won't back out, then I don't have a brother anymore!" said Yvonne."Good for you." I went around them and stopped three feet away.Suddenly, Zack barreled over to me. His eyes were filled with pleading. "Please, just help me out. One last time! I'll give you anything you want! Please!""I don't need you to give me anything I want. I'll work for them myself."He hollered, "But you help me all the time! Why not this time?" Zack thought he was venting his frustration, that I'd treated him unfairly.I did not do anything. He worked with my family and tried to ruin me. To be honest, I should be demanding answers from him instead.I should never have helped him. He took my aid for granted, and it fed his ambition. I demanded, "Of course I won't. You're asking me to face the world's insults. You're asking me to ruin my life!""You know the kind of snobs my parents are! I'm the

    About three hours after the incident, Dick started a livestream and hinted to his viewers that I switched out his code. The Internet fell for his bait and attacked me. The organizers had not come out with any statement just yet. It was the perfect chance for him to shift the narrative to his side.But if he thought I would take it lying down, he was wrong. I went straight to the hospital he was in. It was easy to find where he was. The ward surrounded by people was where he was in.I peeked in and saw my parents, Yvonne, and Zack. They were conspiring and coming up with an act."I'm really sorry, everyone. Samuel's a bit spoiled. Really sorry we wasted your time.""He wanted to pull out of the competition all of a sudden. We didn't know why until now. He's worried people might find out he stole from Dick."My parents cried to the camera and told everyone about my 'dark past' like I was not their son. Though this wasn't my first time witnessing this scene, it still stung my heart.

    "You're a psycho, Samuel!" Yvonne shouted and threatened to come up to the stage and beat me up. She wasn't Dick's best muscle for nothing.The security guards pulled her back. This was the perfect chance for me to socially murder her until she became a shut-in."You've embarrassed us enough, you brat! Get off the stage right now! You can't ruin someone else just because you pulled out!" For once, my mother was getting nervous.I knew they invested half their wealth on Dick. It was something I found out the day before. Not long after I was gone, my parents met up with Dick and offered to sponsor him for the duration of the competition.That cost them more than half a million, and they hoped they could make multiple times more in return. They made their wealth through gambling years ago. It was only my constant persuasion that kept them from making a mistake that could ruin us all.And now they were back at it again. One part about high-risk high reward was that the 'investors' cou
