Chapter 6

Author: Susie Lahern
Hearing that the man was looking for him, William immediately shrank back, his neck pulled in tight.

My mother, on the other hand, shot the man a wary look and demanded, "Who are you? What do you want with my son?"

The man didn't bother with pleasantries. He pulled out his credentials and held them up.

"We're investigators responding to a report. We're here to look into William's exam fraud case."

As he spoke, his gaze settled squarely on my brother.

"You are William Soros, correct?"

  • My Death Was Known Three Years Later   Chapter 7

    After a thorough investigation by the production team, the details of my past were quickly uncovered. They also confirmed with the relevant authorities that I had, in fact, already passed away."Three years ago, Nicolas Soros died on a snowy night—frozen to death because he couldn't afford hospitalization."It wasn't until the autopsy that the coroner discovered that what looked like a thick down jacket… didn't even contain real padding. And that was already the most expensive piece of clothing his mother had ever bought for him. With discounts, it cost less than five dollars."Even before that, when he asked for money to buy medicine, his mother refused outright. She blocked him—for three full years."As the host recounted all of this, her eyes had long since filled with tears.Her voice trembled as she spoke, "On behalf of the program, please allow me to offer our deepest apology to Nicolas Soros. I'm sorry. We were too quick to judge. We allowed an innocent young man to bear su

We're here to look into William's exam fraud case."As he spoke, his gaze settled squarely on my brother."You are William Soros, correct?"But my brother lowered his head at once, not daring to utter a single word.Seeing this, my mother flared up."Perfect timing," she snapped. "Someone has been slandering my son in front of millions of viewers on this livestream. You're not just going to investigate—you're going to investigate thoroughly."Especially that woman, Laura Bernstein. I want her stripped of her teaching position and made to publicly apologize to my son. And I want her held criminally responsible."The investigator looke

    Based on the seating arrangement in the exam hall, my brother had been seated by the window. There should have been no one within his line of sight.That only made his behavior seem even more suspicious.Soon, as footage from other subjects was examined, viewers began uncovering more odd, inconsistent movements.Only then did Ms. Bernstein—who had remained silent until now—finally speak."According to my investigation, this involves a professional team specializing in the national exam fraud," she said calmly. "Their methods are highly concealed. But I've still uncovered sufficient evidence to prove that William's title as top scorer is questionable."Yet in William's mouth, her words became outright slander. With a look of wounded indignation, he wiped at his tears and faced her."How can you say something like that? The results I achieved today are entirely due to my own hard work! Don't you think it's too much to fabricate baseless accusations just to deny someone else's effor

    My brother's panicked reaction quickly became the talk of the livestream.[Hahaha! Did you see his face just now? Our "king of hearts" was way too cute!][But what did that woman bring? Why's he so freaked out?][What else? Probably some dumb prank from his brother.][Honestly? Gross.]Because of my brother's interference, the video the woman had prepared wasn't played right away.At the same time, my mother, clutching the autopsy report, crumpled it into a ball and hurled it at the woman."Ms. Bernstein, what exactly are you trying to do? Even if Nicolas doesn't want to see me, there's no need to make up something like this to deceive me, is there? Is this how you conduct yourself as a teacher? Don't you understand the most basic standards of integrity?"The woman standing before them was none other than my high school homeroom teacher—Laura Bernstein.Seeing her again, a dull ache rose in my chest. Back then, if not for her support and encouragement, I might never have finis

    As my mother stared at the business card being offered, she hadn't even had time to react before my younger brother snatched it away.Facing the camera, tears streamed down his face."That would be wonderful."I had to admit—my mother had raised him well. With his sharp, handsome features, it didn't take long for netizens to crown him the "most handsome top scorer."[Ahhh! Am I the only one obsessed with his profile?!][He's ridiculously good-looking—he could rival some celebs! Has he ever thought about making a living off his face?][Sob… with looks like that, and still working so hard…][Is this even fair?! Compared to him, I'm basically a useless slacker…]The attention came pouring in. Even advertisers began extending offers to him.With such momentum, the production team naturally wasn't going to let it slip away. They quickly decided the program would be broadcast live.But on the day filming was set to begin, my mother hesitated. Looking at my brother, she spoke with u

    To cast herself as the victim, my mother actually began slapping her own face in public.Clutching her swollen cheek, her voice trembling, she said, "Nicolas, this is my fault. Didn't you want money? I have plenty now—so much money! I'll transfer it to you right away!"As she spoke, she shakily sent me five thousand dollars.Then, with a look of utter submission, she dropped to her knees with a loud thud."I really know I was wrong. Please… please forgive me."The livestream exploded with outrage.[Calling him unfilial before was giving him too much credit.][Unfilial? He's a damn animal!][Making his own mother kneel and beg? Isn't he afraid of karma?!]The scene felt eerily familiar, dragging me back to the beginning of the school year.Back then, she had clearly known I wouldn't accept a large transfer—yet she insisted on sending me two thousand dollars anyway, urging me not to mistreat myself."Eat whatever you want. It's just the family's savings. If it's gone, Mom will
