As long as I didn't end up alone with Marianne in the house tonight, I wouldn't fall into their trap.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel and took a deep breath. Then I slammed my foot on the gas.The engine roared as the car lunged forward.Without a second thought, I aimed straight for the concrete barrier on the roadside. A deafening crash exploded through the air as the vehicle plowed directly into it. The entire car shook violently from the impact.The next second, the airbags deployed, wrapping around me and cushioning the blow.My head fell back against the seat.A powerful wave of dizziness swept over me at once. It felt as if a sledgehammer had smashed into my skull, leaving me dazed and barely conscious.Moments later, I felt something warm trickling down my forehead.A sticky liquid ran across my skin. Through my blurred vision, I could vaguely make out more and more people gathering around the car. Some were filming with their phones while others were making c

In that split second of hesitation, a sharp voice suddenly rang out."Jessie Stone! It was her!"The accusation landed like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the noisy chaos.Every gaze in the crowd snapped toward me at once.Before I could even open my mouth to explain, the crowd surged forward like a tidal wave, engulfing me in an instant."You monster! You killed your mother-in-law on her birthday!""How heartless can you be? She's so old, and she even has Alzheimer's. How could you do something like that?""I heard you've been treating her like a burden for a long time. You're pure evil!""Someone arrest her! Don't let her get away!"Curses and accusations rained down on me without pause. Some even reached out and shoved me.Then Isaac suddenly lifted his head. His eyes were bloodshot as he locked onto me with a terrifying glare.He rushed over and grabbed my arm, squeezing so hard that I felt like my bones might shatter. "I knew you hated my mom. I knew you resented

The forensic examiner nodded and said, "Once we run it through the fingerprint database, we'll know who the owner is right away."The moment those words fell, I caught a faint, almost imperceptible smirk at the corner of Isaac's mouth.A chill shot straight from my feet to the top of my head, and the nerves I had just managed to calm tightened all over again.I knew him and Kathie too well.That smirk meant they had a backup plan.The officer turned to both Isaac and me."You two will come back to the station with us to assist in the investigation," he said firmly. "We will run a fingerprint comparison immediately and verify the source of the prints as soon as possible."Isaac immediately wiped the cold smirk off his face and put on that heartbroken expression again, dabbing at the corners of his dry eyes. "Officers, I'll cooperate fully," he said, sniffling slightly. "I only beg you to find out the truth as quickly as possible and get justice for my mother."When he said tho

The smug expressions on Isaac and Kathie's faces instantly vanished, replaced by sheer panic.Isaac suddenly grabbed my arm."What did you say? There's another camera? Why didn't I know about it?"I shoved his hand off. "There's a lot you don't know."A few days earlier, someone in our neighborhood's community group chat had mentioned a thief who had been climbing onto balconies to steal. Even though we lived on the tenth floor, it still made me nervous.Before leaving on my business trip, I had installed a camera on the balcony.I never imagined that such a casual precautionary measure would become the key piece of evidence that cleared my name.Using the account information and password I provided, the officers logged into the system.The footage immediately appeared on the screen.It was a clear view of my balcony.One of the officers skipped the footage to a little after 6:00 pm tonight.At 6:40 pm, Isaac helped Marianne into the living room.She appeared groggy and dis
