The Cursed Tie Chapter 11
After the scandal broke, it sparked massive public outrage.Arclight products went from being universally praised to universally despised overnight.Nearly every device of theirs was recalled and destroyed. The company fell from grace and teetered on the edge of bankruptcy.People who had been unknowingly implanted with chips had them removed with the help of doctors and finally returned to their normal lives.After her chip was removed, Mom held me and cried, cursing Rick for nearly tearing us apart.I held her and looked at Liam sitting on the couch. I smiled again. My heart finally felt light.Due to the severity of the case, Rick and Alice were both sentenced to life in prison.After the sentencing, Rick requested to see me from jail. He even wrote me a letter. He said that he had thought about coming clean when I brought him to the cafe that day.However, Alice had threatened him with the baby's life and forced him to go through with it. He had no choice.I read the lette

The investigation report was a human experimentation log.Anyone who owned an Arclight device was implanted with a microscopic chip the moment they touched it. The chip was nearly invisible to the naked eye.Its function was simple. It made the implanted person carry out a command without question once they received the instruction.That one command would be enough to make the implanted idea impossible to remove. It was terrifying.What was even more terrifying was that the person behind this project was my ex-husband, Rick, a computer engineer.When he was designing the chip system, he used me buying a tie for my son as the test command.The result was that anyone with the chip would develop a deep-seated hatred for me and believe I was a monster who abused my child.In his supplementary command, he had programmed in a detail that the tie was what they made boys wear on Devil's Island.They would force boys to wear it before they used them. Thus, I went from being a mother dre

"Don't you all think this is strange?" I suddenly asked."From the beginning, I noticed something odd."The moment I said out loud that I bought the tie for my son, 99% of people would immediately turn on me."At first, I couldn't figure it out."But then, the psychiatrist gave me the same answer I gave you guys, and I finally understood."The key to everything was right there."The audience and the viewers were still confused, so I sighed and explained more clearly."I ran an experiment. Not everyone turns on me after I say those words."When I told a stranger in places without cameras or smart devices, nothing happened."But after that first test, I secretly followed up. The person who'd been kind to me suddenly won a brand new Arclight phone shortly after."After she got that phone, she immediately developed a hatred for what I did. She despised me."Some comments appeared. [So, was it the phone?][But wait! Those kids at your son's school don't have phones. How did th

The viewers waiting for an answer suddenly felt the same way I had when I talked to the psychiatrist, as if they were being played.[Wait, I've been waiting all this time for that answer?][I think this streamer needs to see a shrink. She's clearly not right in the head.][If you can't come up with something better, just don't make things up. Do you think we're idiots?]I smiled at the flood of mockery on the screen."Maybe this answer sounds too strange, but it really is the only answer."I was attacked, insulted, and nearly driven to death because I bought my son that tie."But more importantly, while I was investigating the truth, I stumbled onto something else."My husband, whom I’ve been with for fifteen years, ten of which we were married for, has been cheating on me since the beginning of our marriage."The comment section exploded.[Wait, what kind of plot twist is this?][Can you stop dodging the question? What does this have to do with everyone hating you?]I was

Over the next few days, I showed the photo to everyone I met and told them I had bought the tie for my son.Their reactions were all the same.When they saw the tie itself, there was no reaction. However, the moment they heard I had bought it for my son, they turned on me. They cursed at me, insulted me, and even tried to hurt me.Every single one.Eventually, things escalated. The upper management at my company discussed it and fired me.The principal at Liam's school gave me an ultimatum. His father had to pick him up from now onwards. I was not allowed to come to the school anymore.Even the neighborhood association started helping Rick fight for custody, deliberately spreading false rumors that I abused Liam.In no time, everyone online and offline hated me with a passion. That was when I went live at the busiest shopping plaza in the city.The moment I started live streaming, the people around me started talking, and the comments flooded with insults.[Holy crap, this dis
The Cursed Tie Chapter 6
On the day Rick and I were supposed to finalize our divorce, I did not go straight to the courthouse. Instead, I brought him to the cafe where we used to go on dates.I ordered his favorite latte, just the way he liked it.He stared at the coffee when it arrived, his attitude still cold."Don't think bringing me here is going to make me change my mind about the divorce."I've already decided. No matter what you say, I'm going through with it. And I'm going to fight for custody of Liam!"I can't even imagine what he'll go through if he stays with a heartless mother like you!"I did not interrupt. After he finished, I calmly took a sip of my coffee.My tone was measured. "We used to love each other. Liam is the product of that love."Even when I did something that upset you in the past, you would talk to me about it. You never gave me the silent treatment like this."I really wanted to understand what I could have done to make you hate me this much."But now, I truly understand
