My Sister-in-Law Tampered With the Wrong Car Chapter 10
By the time winter ended, I'd moved into a new rental.It had two bedrooms and a living room, with great sunlight and large windows.There was no sound of chairs scraping across the floor upstairs, no slamming of doors, and no one coming downstairs in the middle of the night carrying a hammer.I slept soundly like a baby that first night—so deeply that I didn't wake up until noon the next day. When I did, my heartbeat was steady.For the first time in three years, I'd slept until I woke up naturally.I drove my Porsche Cayenne out of the garage and went to the vehicle registration office to change its license plate.I chose a completely new number, one that wasn't 7723.No one would mistake it for Jacob's car.After finishing the paperwork, I sat in the driver's seat and looked out through the windshield.Sunlight fell brightly across the hood.My phone buzzed with a message from Mom.[Riley, I was wrong about how things were handled in our family.][You were right. Putti
My Sister-in-Law Tampered With the Wrong Car Chapter 9
The case dragged on for five months.Sophia was formally charged with attempted murder, with me as her intended victim. She had tampered with Jacob's car, but I was the one she had been targeting.The brake failure had caused serious injuries to one person.The prosecution charged her with attempted murder and intentional infliction of bodily harm.I attended the trial.Sophia had lost a lot of weight. Her hair was cut short, and she sat in the defendant's seat.When she saw me, her lips moved slightly. Meanwhile, Sasha sat in the gallery, wiping away tears throughout the proceedings.During the trial, the prosecution presented the evidence one piece at a time.Three sets of surveillance footage. Records of the incidents of car vandalism. The parking-space layout.The search history on her phone.Jacob's medical assessment, which documented his serious injuries, including permanent impairment of his right leg.The prosecution also read aloud the messages she'd exchanged with

Jacob woke up after nine days. When he realized he'd never be able to stand again, he smashed up half the hospital room.Mom held his hand as tears streamed down her face."Sweetie, you still have me."Jacob asked, "Where's Sophia?"Mom hesitated before answering. "She's in the detention center."Jacob stared at the ceiling for a long time, his eyes fixed straight ahead.After what seemed like forever, he finally spoke."She's locked up. What am I supposed to do now? She did this to me. Does she think serving time is enough to make everything right?"She has to take responsibility for the rest of my life."Mom quickly chimed in."Riley, look at your brother’s state. Can't you drop the case and let Sophia come home to take care of him?"I stood beside the hospital bed and looked at Jacob."She thought that car was mine. During those eight minutes she spent crouching beneath the car, she was thinking about me."She wanted me dead."The room fell silent.I stood there for a

The search history on Sophia's phone was only the beginning.Days later, the investigation had a breakthrough.The police retrieved the chat history between Sophia and her family, with the earliest message dated back three years.Sasha had sent Sophia messages.[Riley has money, and he's even bought insurance for himself. If he dies, the payout will be substantial.][He's already this old and still hasn't started a family. What is he planning? To compete with you for the family property?]I read those messages three times.Then I put down my phone and sat in the hospital hallway, motionless for a long time.People came and went around me. None of them knew that, in my mind, I had finally closed the case on something that had happened years ago.My parents found out the next day when the police informed my family of the situation.After listening, Mom leaned against the wall and slowly slid down.Dad stood beside her, his lips trembling. He couldn't utter a word.After a lon

That afternoon, I went to the property management office by myself.They took me straight to the security room."Mr. Kerr, tell me the date and time you want to check, and I'll pull up the footage.""The night before Jacob's accident. Every entrance and exit of Garage One."The timestamp in the upper-right corner of the screen read 9:47 p.m.Sophia stepped out of the elevator, carrying a hammer. She walked past row after row of cars without stopping.She passed my Cayenne and stopped in front of the black Lucid parked beside it.The car was parked nose-in, and its license plate ended in 7723. She tried the door first. It was locked. Then she crouched down and crawled beneath the front of the car, staying there for seven or eight minutes.The surveillance cameras were old, and the footage was blurry. It was impossible to see exactly what she was doing.But when she emerged from beneath the car, she was holding a pair of pliers in her right hand.She straightened up, looked d

Mom was the first to react. She rushed over and grabbed Sophia by the arm."What did you just say? What did you do?"Sophia's lips trembled, but she couldn't get a single word out.Dad threw his jacket onto the sofa and shouted, "Let's go to the hospital first!"I grabbed my car keys and phone and followed them out.No one spoke during the drive. Mom wiped away tears in the front passenger seat. Sophia huddled in the back, twisting her hands together until her knuckles turned white.I glanced at her in the rearview mirror. She happened to look up at the same moment and met my gaze. Then she quickly lowered her head again.The lights in the ER hallway were blinding.When Jacob was wheeled in, the medical staff's white coats were covered in blood.We waited on the plastic chairs in the hallway. They were connected in a row, and the hard seats were ice-cold.Mom kept repeating Jacob's name. As she went on, she eventually broke down in tears.Sophia sat at the far end, saying no
