8 Chapters

Chapter 1

Mom stumbled when I yanked my arm away.She grabbed the shoe cabinet for support and stared at me in disbelief.“Claire, have you lost your mind?“That’s your own brother, Ryan!“A Category 5 hurricane is about to hit! If you refuse to go save him, are you just going to stand by and watch him die?”Dad had just pulled on his raincoat. The moment he heard that, his face darkened.He strode over and pointed a finger at my nose, cursing furiously.“You ungrateful brat! What kind of thing is that to say?“Your brother has been weak and sickly since he was little. If anything happens to him, I’ll skin you alive!”Looking at his familiar face, I felt a chill spread through me.It had been the same on the eve of the hurricane in my previous life.Ryan had only said he was going out to buy something before he completely disappeared.My parents had panicked and dragged me straight into the storm.We searched for him through the torrential rain and violent winds for four hours.In

Dad yanked open the security door, and a violent gust of wind immediately tore into the apartment.The hallway windows outside rattled and banged against their frames.Amid the howling wind, I could faintly hear the sounds of trees snapping somewhere outside.The sky was frighteningly dark, and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe.Mom cried even harder as she shoved me from behind.“Come on! Hurry up and go with your father!“If anything happens to Ryan, I won’t live either!”I gripped the doorframe tightly, refusing to budge.“I told you, he never went outside!“He’s somewhere in this building. He might even be on the rooftop.”The moment he heard that, Dad spun around and raised his hand, ready to slap me.“What the hell are you talking about?“Why would he go to the rooftop for no reason? The roof is dangerous enough as it is. Is he crazy, or are you?“Claire, how did I end up with such a cold-blooded, heartless daughter?“He’s your own brother! You’ve be

The howling wind slammed against the outer walls of the building, roaring like a wild beast.The lights throughout the building began flickering on and off.Mr. Parker and Mr. Collins led several others, going door to door from the first floor.“Ryan! Ryan Bennett! Are you in there?”Mom’s voice had gone hoarse from shouting. She was so weak that Dad had to support her as they walked.First floor, second floor, third floor. We searched our way upward, one floor at a time.Every time a neighbor opened their door, we received the same answer.“No, I haven’t seen him. With a hurricane this strong, who would dare wander around outside?”“He didn’t come to my place. Try somewhere else.”Climbing the stairs and knocking on door after door took nearly an hour.The higher we went, the more desperate my parents looked.By the time we reached the sixteenth floor, with only two floors left before the top, Mom finally broke down. She collapsed onto the stairs and burst into tears.“He’

The howling wind instantly drowned out every other sound.All the motion-sensor lights in the building went out at once.The surroundings plunged into darkness, illuminated only by the stark white flashes of lightning outside the windows.The wind shrieked as though it were ripping the air apart, accompanied by deafening crashes as heavy objects were swept away and smashed against the building.Everyone’s face turned deathly pale under the terrifying force of the storm.Mr. Parker leaned against the wall and shouted in a trembling voice, “The hurricane is here! We’re on the edge of the eye of the storm! We absolutely cannot stay on the top floor. It’s too dangerous!”Hearing the chaos outside, Dad immediately released me, grabbed Mom, and sprinted downstairs.“Come on! Hurry! We need to get downstairs! Ryan must be trapped somewhere outside!“Even if I have to brave this hurricane, I’ll bring my son home!”Mom followed behind him, crying hysterically. She didn’t even notice th

That desperate cry for help was like a resounding slap across everyone’s faces.The lobby fell completely silent.The neighbors who had just been calling me heartless were now staring in shock.Dad stood frozen with the phone in his hand, his lips trembling uncontrollably. For several seconds, he couldn’t utter a word.Mom’s eyes widened. She seemed unable to catch her breath and nearly fainted on the spot.“The... rooftop?”Her voice trembled as she screamed, “Ryan! How did you end up on the rooftop?!”Ryan’s heart-wrenching cries came through the phone, accompanied by the deafening crash of something heavy falling.“It hurts... my leg! Dad! I can’t feel my legs!”His voice was distorted by unbearable pain.“I can’t open the door... It’s locked from the outside! Help me... there’s so much blood! Find the key and save me!”Beep... beep... beep...The call suddenly disconnected.Dad snapped back to reality and frantically grabbed the community and property management worker

Chapter 6

Three days after the hurricane passed, the city gradually returned to normal.I composed myself and returned to work on time.As a key technical member of the project team, I still had several important software development tasks to push forward.However, the moment I walked through the company’s doors, I noticed that the way my coworkers looked at me had completely changed.They pointed at me and whispered among themselves.“That’s her, right? She always seemed so quiet and well-mannered. I can’t believe she’s actually that heartless.“She could just stand by and watch her own brother die. What a monster.“I heard she deliberately delayed the rescue because she wanted to keep the family home for herself, and that’s why her brother ended up losing both legs.”I frowned and walked to my desk, turning on my computer.Before I could even sit down, my department manager approached me with a grim expression.“Claire Bennett, come to my office.”Once inside, my manager tossed a ta

I didn’t go home right away. Instead, I took a taxi to the police station and the telecommunications office.After that, I went to the property management office in our residential complex.Within three days, I had gathered all the evidence I needed to fight back.By then, the online backlash had reached its peak.Even some shameless Multi-Channel Network agencies, always eager to capitalize on controversy, had caught wind of the situation and sought out my family.They brought their teams and cameras to the hospital, camping outside with all their professional equipment.These professional content creators turned my parents and Ryan, who was paralyzed and confined to his hospital bed, into a “desperate family persecuted by their vicious eldest child.”They helped my parents start livestreams to sell products and solicit online donations.In just two days, they had received hundreds of thousands in donations from sympathetic viewers.During the livestream, Ryan lay on his hosp

Chapter 8

The million-viewer livestream instantly exploded.The sympathy and words of comfort that had filled the screen moments ago were replaced by a wave of fury and curses.[Holy crap! What a twist! Turns out he’s just a spoiled, gaming-addicted man-child!][His entire family risked their lives to look for him while he hid in an illegal rooftop room, gaming with his friends and complaining that his mom was annoying?!][Disgusting! His parents are so obviously biased. They actually had the nerve to help their younger son turn around and slander their older child!][Give me my money back! Return my donation! This whole family is a bunch of scammers!]The livestream was mass-reported by furious viewers and eventually banned.That wasn’t all. The online fundraising platform received a wave of real-name reports and immediately froze the hundreds of thousands in donations.It also launched an investigation into Ryan and my parents for suspected fraud and held them accountable.Countless d
