    Ms. Becker set down her pen and said with a serious expression, "Don't worry. We'll definitely take on your case and secure the money that rightfully belongs to you."I nodded and signed my name in the client section. Each stroke of the pen felt decisive, as if I weren't just signing a contract, but finally cutting through the life of lies I'd been trapped in.By the time I left the law firm, dusk was approaching. My phone rang again. This time, it was Myra's mother, Deena Kerr.As soon as the call connected, a torrent of tearful curses came through."Glenn, you heartless ingrate! After everything Myra has gone through to keep this family together since marrying you, is this how you repay us? Dwight is just a child—he doesn't know any better. How could you send him to jail?"You go and drop the charges right now, or I'll die right in front of you! Let me tell you, if Myra divorces you, with her looks, she can easily find someone better. But you? You think your seven-figure salary

    Dr. Hickman's expression turned serious. "Young man, that's not nourishing your stomach at all. Ingredients like ginger and pepper are spicy and warming, so they can be irritating."An occasional pinch is fine for most people, but long-term, heavy intake can damage the stomach's lining. In your case—" He shook his head and wrote out a test order. "Let's start with a gastroscopy."Lying on the examination table, I felt the anesthetic enter my vein. And in that instant, my awareness faded away.In a daze, it felt as if I had returned to the day of diagnosis in my previous life. The cold instruments, the doctor's pitying look, and Myra sobbing with her face buried beside me all came flooding back.Looking back now, how much of those tears were real, and how much were an act?I didn't know how much time passed before someone gently woke me. My stomach was still numb from the anesthesia, but my heart was already clenched tight.Dr. Hickman looked over the freshly printed gastroscopy r

    Officer Holt looked at Dwight, whose face was deathly pale. "How old are you?""I-I'm 17 years old," Dwight replied through chattering teeth."Do you know where this money came from?""My brother-in-law earned it.""And did you obtain his permission to use it?"Dwight looked at Myra in terror. Myra's lips moved, but no words came out."It seems not." Officer Holt closed the folder and continued seriously, "Dwight, you are suspected of using another person's identity to make substantial unauthorized purchases. You'll need to come with us to the station for questioning, and a guardian must accompany you.""No! Don't take me! Myra, save me!" Dwight howled, clinging desperately to Myra's leg.Myra completely broke down. She suddenly turned and fell to her knees with a thump."Glenn, I beg you, for the sake of our marriage, please say it was a misunderstanding. Dwight can't have a criminal record! It would ruin his entire life!"Tears and snot streamed down her face as she banged

    "You gave him permission to throw away the money I earned working overtime until my stomach bled into a virtual game just to watch it vanish? Myra, does your permission erase the fact that Dwight accessed and used a large sum without my consent?"Does it change the nature of this money being maliciously consumed? Or do you think a judge would agree that a wife can unilaterally take her husband's hard-earned life savings and let her underage brother squander it all in a game, while the husband has no choice but to silently endure it?""I—" Myra was completely speechless, her body beginning to tremble uncontrollably."Myra!" Dwight panicked too. "What do I do, Myra? Are the police really going to arrest me? I don't want to go to jail! Myra, say something!"Sobbing and sniffling, he crawled over and clung to Myra's leg.Myra was also at a loss. She looked at me, her eyes filled with both pleading and resentment."Glenn, you can't do this! You'll ruin him. He's not even an adult yet—

    The calm voice of the dispatcher came through the phone.In that instant, all color drained from Myra's and Dwight's faces, leaving them as pale as sheets."Glenn, what are you doing?"Myra was the first to react, shrieking as she lunged forward to snatch the phone.I sidestepped. Then, I clearly recited our home address to the dispatcher and hung up."What am I doing?" I looked at Myra's distorted face. "I'm reporting a crime, of course. My game account was maliciously accessed and topped up with an enormous amount of money. As the victim, is there a problem with me calling the police to protect my legal rights?""Maliciously accessed? What do you mean? That was Dwight! He's your brother-in-law!" Myra's voice was so shrill it nearly cracked. "You're calling the police on him? Glenn, have you lost your mind? He's my brother!""Oh?" I raised an eyebrow. "Wasn't Dwight the underage minor who stole my account password and made irrational purchases? And besides, wasn't that family m

    "What do you know?" Dwight snapped impatiently. "This is an investment. If I make the account even more badass, it'll be more convincing when we appeal. How do you know the customer service won't log in to check? Hurry up! I'm 300 dollars short."Myra glanced at me. I wore a helpless, restrained expression. "Let's listen to Dwight. Maybe he has a point."Myra gritted her teeth and took out her phone to transfer the money.After the first time came the second, and the third."Myra, look at this new divine beast mount. It's a server-wide limited release. With this, the account's value doubles!""Myra, I got camped in the arena. I need to buy materials for top-tier potions.""Myra, there's a guild war. I need to hand out money to boost morale!"The excuses varied wildly, and the amounts went from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.At first, Myra would ask a few questions, but later she mechanically transferred the money. The balance in her banking app was dropping
