Chapter 6

Author: Steam & Honey
While we waited, I made a decision.

I stepped into a quiet corner of the hallway outside the hospital room and called a former client named Ronald Shaw. He was one of the biggest motivational influencers on the internet, with 20,000,000 followers across all platforms.

Two years ago, he'd nearly gone bankrupt due to tax issues and poor asset management. My team and I had worked through the night for two straight weeks to untangle his financial mess and save everything he'd worked so hard to bui

  • My Brother Faked Cancer for Love   Chapter 11

    Two months after the sentencing, I went to visit Anthony in prison.It would be the last time I ever saw him.I looked at Anthony through the thick bulletproof glass that separated us.In just a few months, he'd aged 10 years. The trendy hairstyle he'd once been so proud of, which he'd spent ages perfecting every morning, was gone. In its place was a regulation prison buzz cut, cropped close to his scalp.His prison uniform hung loosely on his thin frame. His cheeks were sunken, his eyes dull and lifeless, and he'd lost so much weight that he was almost unrecognizable.When he picked up the phone, his hands trembled so violently that he could barely hold the receiver."Clement..." Tears streamed down his face the moment he spoke. "The food here is awful. We have to work more than 10 hours a day. I'm exhausted. I'm so exhausted... Clement, you've forgiven me, haven't you? You came to get me out, didn't you?"I stared at him, my eyes as cold and still as stagnant water. "Anthony,

    The livestream quickly shot to the top of the trending charts across every major online platform.[Younger Brother Hires Hitman to Murder Older Brother for Insurance Money][Over $280,000 Scammed, Much of It Squandered on Gambling][Hell Is Empty, and the Devils Walk Among Us]Public outrage erupted. But as the story continued to spread, something no one had anticipated happened. More and more self-proclaimed "concerned netizens" began exposing Anthony and Paige's extravagant lifestyles in the comments.[I know this guy! Last month, he reserved a VIP table at a nightclub downtown and ordered three bottles of exclusive champagne in a single night. His bill came to over 14,000 dollars! I thought he was some spoiled rich kid from a wealthy family!][I've seen them too! About two weeks ago, this woman test-drove a luxury car at a Porsche dealership. The car cost nearly 180,000 dollars! She even posted a video on social media to show off!][I run an overseas luxury goods purchasing s

    Just then, the hospital room door swung open again.The lead detective who had taken our statements earlier strode in with two other officers. Paige followed behind them, her wrists secured in cold steel handcuffs and her face ashen.Ian flashed his badge, his voice cold and authoritative. "Anthony Chapman, you're suspected of large-scale fraud and attempted murder. We're taking you in for questioning, and you're required to cooperate with the investigation."Without hesitation, the two officers stepped forward and hauled Anthony to his feet. With a sharp metallic click, the handcuffs snapped shut around his wrists.Ronald's livestream broadcast the entire scene to 500,000 viewers across the internet.Justice might be delayed, but it would never be denied. This livestream was destined to go down in internet history.Anthony struggled like a madman before suddenly whipping his head toward Paige and unleashing a torrent of curses. "I'm not going anywhere! I didn't kill anyone! Paig

    Anthony stared at the photograph, his lips trembling uncontrollably. He couldn't utter a single word."Say something! Over the past six months, I've spent more than 280,000 dollars on you! I sacrificed every shred of dignity I had to pay for your treatment."And what did you do? You used my money to buy expensive watches, party at nightclubs, and live a life of luxury!" I snarled, my eyes bloodshot as I advanced on him."C-Clement... Please, just let me explain..."The viewers in the livestream chat were utterly disgusted.[How shameless can you get?! Now that he's been exposed, he's trying to talk his way out of it!][What a leech! Clement, don't you dare forgive him! Call the police!][Where are all those people who wanted to donate money earlier? You might as well have spent it on a nice rack of ribs! What a waste!]I stared at Anthony as he knelt on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Yet I felt nothing. No pity, no anger, only an endless, bone-chilling coldness.I crouched

    The moment I finished speaking, the hospital room door flew open.Anthony burst into the room with an outrageously theatrical wail. "Clement! Clement, how are you?!"But the moment he stepped into full view of the livestream camera, everything seemed to freeze.He wore an expensive, custom-tailored suit from the latest luxury collection, limited-edition leather shoes, and a watch worth tens of thousands of dollars. His hair was impeccably styled, and his face had the polished, almost unnaturally flawless appearance of someone fresh from a cosmetic treatment.With every step, the rich scent of his high-end cologne wafted through the room, clashing horribly with the hospital's pungent disinfectant.Was this really a terminal cancer patient who had just received a critical-condition notice?He looked more like a wealthy playboy fresh from an exclusive gala!As soon as he entered, he instinctively dabbed a little saliva at the corners of his eyes, his face contorted into an expressi

Well, look who's calling! How does a busy man like you have time for me? Got some good news to share?" Ronald sounded as enthusiastic as ever."Ronald, I need to borrow your livestream." I gazed out the window at the gloomy sky, my voice eerily calm. "I want to tell your 20,000,000 followers a true story."After I briefly explained the situation, Ronald unleashed a string o
