Chapter 1

"Alvin Richmond! People like you don't deserve to be a father! You don't even deserve to be human at all!"Raoul Stuart, my brother-in-law, was shaking in anger as he hurled those words at me before punching me right in the face.The other relatives around me also shoved their way toward my face. Some of them threw rotten eggs and tomatoes in my face, and some others continued hurling insults while pointing accusatory fingers toward me.Yet, even when faced with the out-of-control crowd, I remained calm and indifferent.A short while later, my supervisor, Cedric Gomez, walked out of court. I immediately went over to him and shielded him from the rowdy crowd.That was more than enough to anger my wife, Riley Stuart, even more.She hugged our daughter, Jasmine Richmond, tightly in her arms while glaring daggers at me. I hadn't felt an ounce of emotion when I stared back at Jasmine coldly as she was being "taken advantage of" by others. I'd even given a "false" testimony for the s

"I know what kind of person my own daughter is! I'm her mother!" Riley exclaimed in my face. "I was the one who raised her from a young age! She's smart, sensible, and academically perfect! She would never do such a thing as seduce someone else!""That's right! We all know what kind of person Jazzy is! We've all watched her grow up under our eyes! Isn't that right, everyone?""Yeah!"The crowd of relatives all agreed with each other.I fought back my dizziness, using all of my willpower to keep myself from collapsing. However, Raoul attacked my head with a heavy object. Blood began dripping down my collar, making me look like a bloody, disheveled mess.I retrieved a handkerchief from my pocket and pressed it against the wound to stop the bleeding."Even character and personality can be faked, can't they?" I countered. "It's just like how you've all always thought that I was a good person, but now, you all think I'm a monster. If you think about it the other way, don't you think

"What! So you're the one who got my grandson killed! You heartless bastard! How could you not even spare your own child!"My mother-in-law, Vivian Hancock, suddenly arrived shakily, still in a hospital gown. She was supported by my father-in-law, Gregory Stuart.Her health had deteriorated ever since Justin's death. After learning about what happened to Jasmine this time, she got triggered even more, aggravating her condition, and ended up being hospitalized.She swayed on her feet and nearly fell after hearing Riley reveal the "truth" about Justin. She broke into loud, wracking sobs.Gregory held her up tightly and began questioning me in a disappointed, resentful manner."Alvin Richmond! Explain yourself! Is that really the truth? Speak!"Your dad and I used to be good buddies, and I even watched you grow up! How could you have turned out to be someone like this!"In an instant, I was made the target of everyone's ire and condemnation."Riley! How could you be so silly as to

Riley panicked as soon as she heard what I said. Her face turned pale, and she looked like she'd just been plunged into an icy pool of water.She immediately lunged at me and grabbed me by my collar."Alvin Richmond! You've been staring at your phone nonstop since earlier. Who the hell were you talking to? Spill!"I was unexpectedly very calm in the face of her panic. Instead, I raised my hand and slapped her hard across the cheek."Go ahead and guess, Riley! Aren't you always the smart one? Then try and guess who I just called!"Riley's lips trembled. She couldn't answer me, and her eyes began darting around in a frenzy.My actions of reporting Riley to the police stunned Gregory and the rest of his family. They exchanged glances with each other, as if they were trying to find the answer in each other's expressions.Gregory was still the first one to snap back to his senses. He marched up to me and demanded loudly, "What the hell are you talking about, Alvin? You were the one w

"Did you know that Alvin let his daughter get sexually assaulted by his own boss just for a bit of money? He even helped him commit perjury to frame Riley!"I heard that now his boss has been dismissed because of a huge issue. That means there really was something fishy going on after all!"That's why you must never listen to what this monster says, officer! You mustn't listen to his one-sided story and let him frame an innocent person—"The officer suddenly straightened his face as a grim expression appeared on his face. He then spoke seriously."Don't worry, sir. Rest assured, we will always act based on the evidence presented. We won't let an innocent person suffer injustice, but we also will never let the real criminal escape the clutches of the law."Riley shot me a smug look. She really thought that I didn't have any more evidence against her, didn't she?Just then, a tired female voice called out to me from afar."Alvin! I'm safe! You can go ahead and fight the bad guys n

Chapter 6

Mom began telling her story."Riley colluded with her direct supervisor two years ago and did all sorts of shady things behind the scenes to help him become the CEO of the company. They first kept their affair a secret, but it soon spilled over into their home."They never thought that I would pick up Justin from school a little earlier one day and arrive home earlier than usual. Justin rushed upstairs to find Riley and surprise her with a hug, but he never thought that he would end up catching her and her lover naked in each other's arms in bed!"Mom got increasingly agitated as she spoke, with tears streaming down her face."Riley and her lover were worried about getting exposed, so they smothered him and suffocated him to death! I rushed in to save Justin, but Riley hit me on the head with something and cracked my head open. I got knocked out from the terrible concussion afterward."I ended up surviving the ordeal. Still, I couldn't recall anything of that matter, and so Riley

Chapter 7

Riley grew increasingly uneasy and unsettled. She didn't want to lose, and she certainly didn't want to die. So, she tried to lunge forward and snatch the flash drive cleanly away from the officer's hands.But this time, she failed because I grabbed her and held her back."What, trying to destroy the flash drive again? Sorry, but it's not going to work."I looked up at the rest of the crowd with a bitter, cruel smile on my face.I could have happily celebrated Justin's birthday after wrapping up my overseas business trip just one day later. However, I had only just booked the flight home when I got a distressed call from Mom, who wouldn't stop crying on the phone.She told me that Justin was dead, and she didn't know why, but it was just too suspicious.When I heard the news, I was immediately distraught. I cried in anguish, as if an animal were tearing my heart open.Riley never thought that Mom would eventually remember the events of the day.When Mom told me about the trut

Chapter 8

Riley's face turned a deathly pale color. I had just exposed all of her sordid affairs and deeds to the public.Gregory immediately raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face, making her fall to the ground."You beast! You were the one who did it after all! How could you do such a thing to your own son! Your own flesh and blood!"Everyone was also shocked and furious at the sudden twist. They had fallen for Riley's lies and were used as her pawns to attack a father who had lost his son."No, it's all fake! It's not real! It's AI! It can't possibly be real!" Riley shouted.Even Raoul didn't take her side anymore and just looked at me with a guilty expression on his face, just like the one Vivian showed me.I wasn't about to let Riley off the hook. I continued playing another video showing her coaxing and teaching Jasmine how to frame Cedric for sexual assault.There were tears in her eyes as she pulled Jasmine into her arms and said, "Jazzy, a very evil man just became
