The title of the document was [Investigation report into the itinerary and spending habits of Grand Source CEO Leto Jackson’s family.]

There were a total of twelve pages, all printed on A4-sized paper.

On the first page was my photo, and beside it was my car license plate number, the restaurants and the gym I frequented, and even the fact that I always visited a florist to buy flowers on Thursday afternoon.

On the second page was Apollo’s. His photo, company address, the time he got in and

  • My In-Laws Say I Owe Them Two Million Dollars   Chapter 9

    Apollo practically ran over, and since he was six feet tall, he nearly tripped over the escalator. He had not even buttoned up his coat, and his tie was skewed. He ran over to Layla first, and without a word, he hugged her while cradling the back of her head. He also rested his chin on her crown. “Sorry,” he said. Layla hummed and buried her face in his chest as she cried. I stood by the side but did not think that I was a third wheel. If I could raise Apollo, I could wait for Layla to finish crying. Thirty seconds later, Apollo released her and turned to me. “Thanks, Mom.”He straightened up, and the panic in his eyes was gone. In its place was the unyielding cold I was familiar with. It was exactly like his father’s. “Wilson sent me a message about Donald while I was driving. I’ve already sent security guards to his office to secure his laptop and phone,” he whispered. I nodded. “If you’re supposed to hand any evidence to the police, do it. Don’t skip out on any le

    When the police officers took Flora and Mandy away, the onlookers opened up a path for them. Suddenly, Flora turned around and shouted at me, “Don’t act so smug, Leto! Do you really think things are over just because you got me arrested? Holt worked for ten years in your company. You have no idea how many backup plans he has!”Due to her hysteria, her voice became piercing to the ears, but those who understood what she said gasped. I did not respond because it was not necessary. If I responded to her threats, I would lose. After I watched them get stuffed into the police car, I looked away and massaged my temples. Just then, Layla handed me a bottle of water. At some point in time, she had gone into the coffee shop next door to buy two bottles of water. “Have some water, Leto.”I accepted the bottle and took a sip. Layla was really attentive. Despite everything we had gone through, she still remembered that I had not drunk any water after arriving at the supermarket.

On the second page was Apollo’s. His photo, company address, the time he got in and off work, the supermarkets he frequented, and the fact that he was going to be in a meeting today were listed. The time had even been accurately predicted to be between 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.On the third page was Layla. The fourth page contained the jewelry shop’s employee schedule. My eyes landed on a name circled in red at the bottom right corner of the schedule—Mandy. Next to it was a string of hastily written words, but I could still read them. [Shop owner agreed to cooperate. 30/70 s

    The moment the police officers grabbed her, the woman started screaming. “Let me go! You have no right to capture me! I didn’t do anything wrong!”As she struggled to break free, two buttons on her trench coat popped to reveal a shiny necklace underneath. A large diamond ring was hanging beside the pendant. I walked over and observed the diamond ring.The two-million-dollar “pigeon egg” was hanging from her neck, and it swayed as she struggled. “I’ve found the stolen ring, officers.” I spoke as calmly as I would talking about the weather. Layla was behind me. When she saw the diamond ring, her eyes flew wide open in shock. “That’s the one the shop attendant mentioned!”The moment the woman heard this, she stopped fighting back. Instead, she raised her head and bared her teeth at me. “Tell them to catch me if you dare, Leto! Take a good look at who I am. You wouldn’t dare touch me!”Since she no longer had her sunglasses on, I could finally see her face. She was in her early

    When I dragged Layla out of the jewelry shop’s back door, the two police officers followed. The employee passage in the supermarket was so narrow that it could only allow two people walking side-by-side at a time. One of the LED lights above us flickered as it cast the passage in periods of light and darkness. The air was filled with humidity unique to underground passages, along with the smell of disinfectant. “Miss Jackson, how are you sure that she hasn’t left?” the lead officer asked as he ran. I did not slow down, and my heels let out rapid clacks against the cement floor. “Her background might’ve been blurred, but she didn’t manage to hide one thing.”“What is it?”“The sound.”I took out my phone as I ran and dragged the recorded live stream to the point where the woman had started yelling at the end. Then, I turned the volume up to the maximum. Her shrill curses blasted out of the phone’s speaker again, but that was not what I wanted to show them; it was the faint

    When the screen lit up, I thought that I would be able to see the coward’s face, but a ridiculous watermelon filter covered her entire face. Even her background had been blurred. All the onlookers went wild, and they started spamming the chat. [You put on a filter? You’re definitely feeling guilty!][You billed someone for two million dollars and won’t show your face? You’re definitely a scammer! Get the police to arrest her!][That sounds like the voice of a pimp!]At the sight of the chat, the watermelon swayed violently, and the woman’s shrill voice pierced my eardrums. “Shut up! What would you poor peasants know?!”After she finished cursing at the viewers, she looked into the camera as if she was staring at me. Then, her voice turned sickeningly sweet again. “Leto, don’t be mad. I just heard that there was a slight misunderstanding at the shop. Your son might be marrying another woman, but my daughter has been with him for a long time, so she needs some compensation, rig
