Tapes Sent to Prison Chapter 8
"Stop this!" I yelled, rushing forward to intervene, but it was to no avail. "Stop! A scumbag like him isn't worth it!"Those three days were agonizing. I hadn't made it through them. I had died right there in the factory. If I hadn't made arrangements in advance for someone to bury me, my soul wouldn't even have had a place to rest. But I had no regrets. My convictions had sustained me. As long as they were safe and well, I feared nothing.Only when the killer was on the verge of death did Colin finally pull Lance away. Lance's eyes were still bloodshot, filled with nothing but emptiness and despair.Colin whispered, "Lance, enough. That's enough. Brittany traded her life for our safety. Don't let her sacrifice be in vain."Lance stumbled and fell to the floor. Overcome with grief, he burst into uncontrollable sobs and slapped himself across the face. "Some brother I am! You idiot, we agreed that I would be the one to protect you, but you went and played the hero instead!"He m

Xavier drove Colin and Lance to the cemetery. They found Plot No. 19. Only then did they realize that Brittany's was directly below their parents'. So they had passed by it before.Brittany's memorial portrait showed the face they remembered so well.Colin said, "You little brat, you kept calling me old. But you look just as old in that photo!"Lance crouched down and gently touched her face in the portrait, his lips trembling. "Brittany was still so young."Xavier turned away, unable to bear watching any longer. Even as a police officer who had seen so much, he felt utterly helpless at that moment. As he gazed at the gravestones scattered across the hills as far as the eye could see, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.How had that young woman, who had once cried her heart out, endured ten years of loneliness all by herself?Colin stared silently at Brittany's name on the gravestones. Suddenly, he had no idea what to do. For ten years, the thought of finding that heartless li

In the video, I explained, "Colin, Lance, by the time you're watching this, your ten years in prison should be over. I'm sorry you've had to suffer all these years. There's something I want you to know. It's true that I leaked our family's confidential information. "But at a banquet ten years ago, I overheard the Sutton family's scheme. They had hired a group of ruthless killers to lie in wait at our villa that very night, intending to wipe out our entire family."After I stopped talking, the three men in the room also stopped. "What did she mean by that?" Colin asked, his eyes bloodshot. At that moment, he found it hard to breathe. "What did she mean by that?" He stood up, completely snapping. "Brittany, it's been ten years! Are you still going to feed us lies?"Lance sat perfectly still, blood seeping from his palm and dripping onto the floor, one drop at a time. It was bright red, just like the blood that had stained the ground that day when Mom and Dad plunged to their deaths

The commotion stopped abruptly, leaving behind only deathly silence and emptiness. Everyone stared at the screen, disbelief written across their faces.In the videotape, I was sitting in a hospital bed, my face deathly pale. Behind me wasn't a grand, luxurious villa. Instead, there was an array of medical equipment.Colin stumbled, almost losing his footing as an inexplicable terror threatened to consume him.Lance stared blankly at the TV, his eyes empty. "What does this mean? What did she mean by that?" His voice trembled as he turned to Xavier, looking at him helplessly and desperately. "Xavier, do you know what she meant?"Xavier fell silent for a moment. Then, he advised, "Just keep watching. You need to discover the truth for yourselves."Just then, Colin suddenly stood up, his face dark with anger as he pulled out the videotape. The screen went blank."Colin?" Lance stared at him with bloodshot eyes, utterly bewildered.Colin faced everyone, his eyes filled with hatred

Before I could finish speaking in the video, Colin stormed over and yanked out the videotape, his face dark with fury. He yelled, "Scram!"The boy was startled and immediately ran away, crying loudly.Lance looked a bit guilty. He tried to explain himself. "Colin, I—"However, Colin hurled the videotape at him. He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving with rage. "Lance, why did you bring her things back home? Are you out of your mind? She got Mom and Dad killed and made us spend ten years in prison! And you still can't let go of her?"Lance pursed his lips, his face turning slightly pale.Xavier sighed. There was only so much an outsider could say about family matters. He stepped forward and patted Colin on the shoulder. He explained, "Colin, I still trust my instincts. If your sister really was as cruel as you say, and her grief in prison that day was all an act, she must be one hell of an actress. You have no idea. That day, she cried so hard that she actually coughed up bl

Early the next morning, Colin and Lance went to our parents' graves. "Hey, Mom, Dad. Lance and I have come to see you." Colin laid the flowers on the ground, then reached out to wipe the dust from their gravestones. His voice trembled with emotion. "I'm sorry we took ten years to come here. You must have been waiting for a long time. I know what you want to ask. You want to know where Brittany is, don't you?"Lance continued for him. "She's doing well. You don't need to worry. She's married now and has a family of her own."Colin fell silent, offering no objection. I looked up at them in surprise, tears welling up in my eyes. Even now, they had still chosen to preserve my dignity. Lance crouched and buried his face in his arms, sobbing like a child.After returning from the cemetery, they ran into Xavier again. "Hey, Xavier," Lance greeted him. "We're heading abroad the day after tomorrow to bring someone home.""Really? Who?"Colin and Lance hesitated for a moment before
