Chapter 6

Green Pick
I couldn't help but find this whole thing a farce when I saw Penny scramble for a way out. I almost laughed.

Before she finished speaking, I cut her off without hesitation, "My husband died five years ago."

Penny's smile slipped off her face, and bewilderment filled her eyes.

I continued coolly, "It was a sudden death. His health was already stretched thin, to begin with. He worked hard to afford my son's medical treatment, and one day, he collapsed at work. There's no one else living at home

  • My Blind Son, the Peeping Tom?!   Chapter 8

    Several months later, the court finally delivered its judgment. I sat at the plaintiff's table, my face calm when the gavel fell.I'd won the case completely.As the mastermind of the incident, Penny was sentenced to prison for extortion, inciting minors to commit criminal activities, and inciting others to trespass on a private residence. She was in for a long ride.Her husband worked overseas and hurried back when he heard the news. He didn't even give her time to explain before slapping her hard across the face."I work my ass off to provide for the family, and this is the filthy stuff you've been getting up to at home? You took naked photos of our daughter and put them up on the internet, for heaven's sake!"Are you out of your mind?" The man's voice was full of anger, and only disgust shone in his eyes. "We're getting a divorce! You've ripped our family apart!"The slap was so hard that it had Penny looking the other way. Blood trickled out of the corner of her mouth. As she

  • My Blind Son, the Peeping Tom?!   Chapter 7

    Upon arriving at the police station, the officers immediately ran a forensic test on the camera. It wasn't long before the results came out.Neither mine nor Benedict's fingerprints were found on the camera, only Monica's and Penny's. More importantly, there were no records stating Benedict or I had purchased a camera, though the same couldn't be said for Penny. It was revealed that she'd bought that camera a year ago.The truth about those photos in the camera quickly came to light as well; the police found a drone in Penny's house.When I saw the drone, I immediately recalled how Benedict had recently told me he'd heard drone-like sounds at night. It aligned with the theory that Penny and Monica had used the drone to capture photos from a specific angle so they would look as if they were taken from Benedict's bedroom.After that, Penny and Monica transferred the photos from the drone to the camera. They then brought the camera with them and used the scuffle earlier as a smokesc

    I couldn't help but find this whole thing a farce when I saw Penny scramble for a way out. I almost laughed.Before she finished speaking, I cut her off without hesitation, "My husband died five years ago."Penny's smile slipped off her face, and bewilderment filled her eyes.I continued coolly, "It was a sudden death. His health was already stretched thin, to begin with. He worked hard to afford my son's medical treatment, and one day, he collapsed at work. There's no one else living at home aside from me and my visually impaired son."The neighbors let out low, hushed noises of surprise upon hearing this. When they looked at me again, it was with newfound sympathy.I raised a brow and drawled sarcastically, "Don't tell me you think I was hiding in my son's bedroom and peeping at Monica while she's in the shower, Penny.""You…" Penny was rendered speechless by my remark, her face turning red, then blanching. She looked like she'd been slapped hard across her cheek.She parted h

  • My Blind Son, the Peeping Tom?!   Chapter 5

    A deathly hush filled the room.Penny's and Monica's eyes widened to the size of saucers, disbelief coloring their faces. The rest of the neighbors and the police officers froze, all of them too shocked to speak.It was as if the air around us had gone still. The neighbors who'd wanted the officers to teach me and Benedict a hard lesson now swallowed the rest of their words.I clutched Benedict's hand and felt his fingers curling slightly against my palm. He was nervous. I knew the accusations earlier must have scared him.Gently caressing the back of his hand with my thumb, I slowly looked up and swept my gaze over the crowd.I said evenly, "I told you there was no way my son would peep at anyone. I raised him, and I made sure to do it right so he wouldn't do something so despicable. More to the point, he's congenitally blind."I didn't raise my voice, but my cadence was clear and firm in this heavy silence.Turning to look at the police officers who'd gone still, I asked, "Now

  • My Blind Son, the Peeping Tom?!   Chapter 4

    Penny paused and glared at me menacingly.A few police officers entered the house and frowned at the mess on the floor. "What's all this, then? What are you all doing?"I had to give Penny credit for her lightning-fast improvisation.She grabbed Monica by the arm and walked over to the officers, her expression despondent and angry. "Officers, this lady's son has been peeping at my daughter while she's in the shower. He even took photos of her and put them up on the internet! You must help us!"As she spoke, she wiped her tears, the perfect portrait of a mother heartbroken by her daughter's suffering.Monica immediately curled up in Penny's arms, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed dramatically.Seeing this, the neighbors around us began to interject with their accounts, their voices overlapping as they hurled accusations at me."It's true, officers! That lady's son is a pervert! He peeps at this poor young lady while she's in the shower, then takes photos of her!""It's despica

  • My Blind Son, the Peeping Tom?!   Chapter 3

    Penny waved the camera in the air and turned it on in front of everyone. All the photos in storage were of Monica, taken from the same angle."See? These are all sneaky shots of my daughter!" Penny held up the camera to my face. "Here's the undeniable proof you asked for. What do you have to say about it?"The neighbors egged her on. "He's crossed a line! We need to teach that creep a lesson!""There's a fine line between loving your kid and spoiling him. You may allow his depravity now, but society won't!""You'd better get your son to come home now and apologize for his crime!"Penny wiped her tears, interjecting, "If you delete these photos and compensate us, we can move on from this. I don't want this to get out, either… But if you refuse, I'll take your son to court!"Some of the neighbors praised Penny for her generosity and kindness. I, on the other hand, found this entire exchange hilarious. "This camera doesn't belong to my son. We've never had a camera in the house."F
