They All Said I Did It Chapter 8
In the dark, the ocean seemed ready to consume everything around it.Since coming back, my nerves hadn't relaxed for even a second.I had cleared my name of insurance fraud, but the surveillance footage still didn't make sense. My gut kept warning me that if I didn't uncover the truth, I would end up right back in the same pit as before.I lay in bed with the lights off, wide awake. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was my past with Cheryl.I opened my eyes, irritated. My gaze landed on the wedding photo sitting beside my pillow.I used to think love was a flame that would never burn out. As it turned out, it was a blade aimed straight at my chest.A knock came from outside the door, pulling me out of it. I got up to check.It was the ship's captain. Guilt was written all over his face. He admitted right away that he had swapped out the surveillance footage."I owed a lot of money to loan sharks. They offered me 400 thousand dollars. I had nowhere else to turn, so I
They All Said I Did It Chapter 7
When I was locked up in my last life, the captain sent a lawyer to pass me a message.His daughter had a rare illness. If I paid him one million, he would testify for me and prove I hadn't killed anyone.By then, my company had already fallen into my father's hands. He used the insurance payout tied to Cheryl to bring it back to life, while everything under my name had been sold off. I couldn't come up with that kind of money even if I tried.After I was reborn, the first thing I did was have my secretary transfer the money to the captain.Only after he got paid did he agree to help me stage all of this.I had no idea what methods they used, but I wasn't about to just sit there and let them take me down. As long as I threw their plan off, they would start to panic.Once they panicked, they would make mistakes.Right on cue, the streamer's camera locked onto Harry's pale, shaken face."No one died. Shouldn't you be relieved? Why are you so worked up? Unless… You really were fram

"This skin is way too real! I couldn't even tell. What is this, some kind of disguise?""I know what I saw. She's the one who went overboard. She brushed past me on the deck and nearly knocked my camera out of my hands!" The streamer caught on right away. "So you're not dead! That means the whole 'killed his wife for the insurance money' story falls apart. Why go through all this to hide like this?"Cheryl's eyes flicked around, panicked. The next second, she broke down, clutching her head as she sobbed. "I only changed my name and hid like this because of him!"She pointed straight at me. Every head turned back."After I married him, he hit me all the time. He cheated and blamed me for it. Said I didn't give him what he needed emotionally, that I never understood him. I asked for a divorce to let him be with his mistress, and he refused!"A bitter smile pulled at her lips."He didn't fail to kill me. I found out he secretly bought insurance on me, so I ran before he could do i

[That face is terrifying! Even something out of a horror movie doesn't look that bad!][She looks like she's been through some kind of accident. Michael's lost it, dragging a random person into this.][He's not crazy. He's just desperate, and he's taking it out on her!]The comments flooded in, tearing me apart, but all I felt was a rush of adrenaline.I grabbed the woman's arm and held on as I forced my voice steady. "I finally found you, Cheryl."I didn't say it loudly, but Harry still jolted like he had been struck."Y-You've gone too far. You'll say anything to save your own skin? Cheryl went overboard because of you. Stop twisting the story. Just stop!"My father yanked my hand away and shot the woman a quick look. "Miss, I'm sorry. He's not right in the head. Please don't take it to heart."The woman broke free, scrambling to pick up her mask and hat, then turned to leave.I shouted at the top of my lungs, "Stop her! Don't let her go! That's my wife. That's Cheryl!"The

My father shuddered hard, then immediately snapped, "What the hell are you talking about? I raised you. I fed you. Haven't I done enough for you? You're just like your mother, ungrateful! What did I ever do to deserve a kid like you?"Watching him panic, I let out a cold laugh."Drop the act. I already know she's your real daughter."I looked straight ahead."Am I right…Cheryl?"Silence fell over the room.The only thing still moving was the livestream chat, racing past in a blur.[What does he mean? Is the victim not dead?][She fell straight into the ocean. Even if she survived the fall, something would have gotten her. He's bluffing.][This feels like a twist. I'm staying.]Harry was the first to speak. "Cheryl fell into the ocean because you pushed her. We don't even know if she's alive. How could she be here?"My father pressed a hand to his chest, face twisted with grief. "Michael, do you think I'm being heartless? I can understand if you don't want to acknowledge me

The young guard snapped out of it and immediately pulled up the surveillance footage.When it confirmed I had been cuffed in place the entire time, everyone exchanged uneasy looks.A flicker of panic crossed Harry's eyes, but he steadied himself fast. "You can't just look at the room. Pull the footage from the deck where it happened, too."The head of security brought up the deck cameras, and the crowd rushed over.On screen, Cheryl and I walked to a quiet corner of the deck, talking. Then, in the span of a blink, something set us off. We started arguing.Part of the view was blocked, so I couldn't clearly see Cheryl, but the man on screen looked agitated. In the middle of the argument, he kept turning his face toward the camera tucked in the corner.A few seconds later, he shouted like he had lost control and shoved Cheryl hard. She went straight over the railing and into the ocean.The man turned and ran, then the footage cut out.My mind went blank.The man in the video loo
