Calmness in the Face of Death Chapter 9
I was so speechless that I almost laughed.Ellen was probably the worst mother in the world.Not only was she evil, but she had destroyed other families for money and ruthlessly drained her children of their last bit of worth, all while pretending to love us."If I were framed, would you sell out Chris to save me? If Evelyn had defied you at 16 and called the police, would she still be alive? You keep saying you love me and Evelyn, but you knew exactly what awaited us!"I glared at this heartless, weak, vile, and greedy woman in front of me."Don't even think about getting my forgiveness. I will never forgive you! I want to watch you pay for your sins! I hope you die in prison, and I hope it's as painful as possible."I hope you rot away and get flushed down the toilet! You don't even deserve to live!"Upon hearing my cold words, Ellen realized her pitiful act had failed. Her true ugly nature surfaced again, and she began shouting insults, only to be dragged away by the officers
Calmness in the Face of Death Chapter 8
A few days later, the police called me back to the station.This time, everything finally clicked into place.I couldn't help but feel a mix of bitterness and relief. If I hadn't been given a second chance at life, I never would've uncovered their plans.After Chris was born, Ellen had been abandoned by her partner and forced to raise him alone. To make money quickly, she turned to human trafficking and specialized in selling infants.Evelyn and I were a pair of twins she had abducted.We were adorable, and Ellen decided to keep us for herself rather than sell us.Over the years, she noticed Evelyn's timid, submissive nature and marked her as a future child bride.I, on the other hand, showed promise in school, so she planned to squeeze every ounce of potential out of me to secure her retirement.She played her cards well, always pretending to be kind and gentle. Evelyn and I had been oblivious to her true nature for years.When we turned 16, Chris took Evelyn by force, then m

The moment the video played, Chris' legs gave out. He collapsed to the floor and trembled uncontrollably.A few seconds later, he snapped out of it and scrambled to escape.The cops were quick. They pinned him down and slapped handcuffs on him.Ellen clung to one of the officers, gripping his sleeve tightly. "Officer, you can't just arrest my son over some video! Winston faked the whole thing! This house doesn't even have security cameras!"Of course, they plotted this together.When we were renovating the house, I installed a few mini cameras for security.Ellen had made a fuss, saying I didn't trust her, and insisted I take them down. I took one down as a show of good faith, but I left the rest.Good thing I didn't listen to her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to prove my innocence.As the police dragged Chris to the police car, Ellen shifted gears. She threw herself on the ground and wailed dramatically."How could you be so heartless, Winston? You let Evelyn die just

Every time Evelyn went for a maternal checkup, I would pay a lot of attention to her records to make sure her baby was healthy.It had never occurred to me that Evelyn, my twin who grew up with me, would be brainwashed into conspiring with Ellen and Chris."You were away on a business trip on the week she got pregnant! You weren't even home, so the child couldn't have been yours!" I said to Chris.Pointing at Ellen, I accused her, "You did not send Evelyn to school. Instead, you and Chris turned her into a surrogate mother and lived off the money she made!"You stopped me from coming home during school breaks because you didn't want me to find out about the shady business. You even brainwashed Evelyn into thinking you loved her!"Thinking back, their excuses couldn't have been clumsier. Why hadn't I noticed that in my past life?Ellen sent me to college so I wouldn't find out about their shady dealings. I'd only be asked to visit home whenever Evelyn had given birth to the surrog

"You stole me and Evelyn when we were babies! You're not our birth mother. Chris is your biological son, isn't that right?"Ellen's expression changed in the face of my interrogation. Face flushed, Chris yelled at me, "What nonsense is that? Show me the evidence! You can't make up rumors about your mom just to get away from your crimes!"The onlookers immediately split into two cliques with differing opinions. The ones who sided with me whispered, "Hey, that might be the truth. Take a better look; the twins look nothing like their mom. Could the old lady be a child trafficker?""How terrifying! Back then, there wasn't a lot of attention on child trafficking. Oh, think of that poor family who got their twins stolen! We must punish child traffickers!""Hey, do you think she stole the kids and made one of them a child bride for her son? If that's true, it's pretty disgusting…"Those who sympathized with Ellen accused me of slander."What's the point of raising an ingrate who slander
Calmness in the Face of Death Chapter 4
My friend Jodie Campbell called me before I arrived at the scene. In a trembling voice, she asked me if something had happened to my family. She explained, "I saw the news online. That incident happened in your neighborhood, didn't it? Was your sister the victim?"People said you were the culprit, but I don't believe it. Don't worry; the police will get to the truth."In my past life, Jodie was the only friend who believed in me. She was by my side at the lowest point. When I was turned into an outcast, and when my house was graffitied, she was the only one who supported me. No matter what happened, she would show up at my place to make meals for me and offer words of encouragement.Unfortunately, the vicious online attacks not only affected me but Jodie as well. Her support for me was labeled as "unethical", and people lambasted her for backing a murderer.When I took my life in the past life, Jodie fell into depression and nearly did the same. Her failed suicide attempt landed
