00:00I've always had a built-in radar for pick-me-girls who hide behind the one-of-the-guys act.
00:05You could say I'm a walking detector for them.
00:08So, when my fiancé, Peter, brought home his childhood best friend, Abby, my internal alarms went off.
00:16She's just a bro. I don't even see her as a woman.
00:20I didn't argue. I just pulled out a small notebook and began listing predictions.
00:24When he peeked, I said, I'm pre-writing how your girl best friend is about to throw herself at you.
00:30Possibility 1. Say she's hot and strip in front of you.
00:34Possibility 2. Accidentally spill water on your crotch and reach out to wipe it.
00:38Possibility 3.
00:39You're being ridiculous. Abby doesn't have a manipulative bone in her body.
00:42He swore she didn't have a manipulative bone in her body, looking at me like I was the crazy one.
00:46However, later, a shrill scream shattered the silence.
00:52Oh my god! Take them off! Quick!
00:55We're childhood friends! Don't be shy! Let me blow on it for you!
00:59Spill drink on crotch. I slid the list toward Peter.
01:03Remembering my prediction, he awkwardly clamped his legs together.
01:07Okay, but Abby is innocent.
01:10Kelly, don't be mad. I've played with his little things since we were kids.
01:14Real friends don't care about boundaries.
01:16I ignored her and jotted down a new prediction.
01:19Peter, now visibly livid at my silence.
01:22That's enough! Abby has a waist problem.
01:24She can't sleep on a hard bed.
01:26The guest bedroom mattress is too hard.
01:28She's taking the master bedroom tonight.
01:31We'll sleep in the guest room.
01:32I picked up the notebook and, under his pail, trembling gaze slowly checked off, taking the master bedroom.
01:40When did you write that?
01:41His voice shook.
01:42The second she walked through the door, I replied, snapping the book shut.
01:47Abby immediately grabbed Peter's sleeve, eyes welling up with fake tears as she performed a slow-motion exit.
01:53Predictably, Peter blocked her path, screaming at me for being heartless.
01:56I looked at the man I was supposed to marry, the man currently kicking his fiancée out of her own
02:02bed for another woman.
02:03I didn't fight.
02:05I simply nodded and walked into the rock-hard guest room, through the walls.
02:10I heard Abby's victorious giggle.
02:12She was already jokingly asking Peter to scrub her back in the shower.
02:15I sat on the edge of the bed, opened my phone, and activated the hidden security cameras I'd originally installed
02:22for burglars.
02:23I opened my notebook one last time, and wrote down my final prediction for the night.
02:28Sure enough, at two in the morning, a violent thud echoed as the guest bedroom door was kicked open.
02:33I snapped my eyes open to see Abby rushing in.
02:36Her face was streaked with tears as she brushed past me, throwing herself into Peter's arms like a frightened animal.
02:42Still half asleep, Peter instinctively tightened his grip around her.
02:46Don't worry. I've got you.
02:48Wordlessly, I slapped the switch on the bedside lamp.
02:51Under the harsh white light, Abby was straddling Peter's waist.
02:55The top three buttons of her shirt, undone to reveal a large expanse of pale skin,
02:59Peter's hand was clamped firmly against her bare thigh.
03:02Abby let out a small shriek, and buried her head in the crook of Peter's neck.
03:06Kelly, I'm so sorry.
03:09I've just gotten so used to sleeping with Peter like this.
03:13You won't mind, right?
03:15Peter was wide awake now.
03:17Yet, instead of pushing her away, he yanked the duvet up to wrap her tightly.
03:21What are you doing? You scared her!
03:24I remained silent, calmly pulling the notebook from beneath my pillow.
03:27I checked, pretend to be scared, and crawl into Peter's bed.
03:37I'm sorry.
03:49I missed a lot, I know!
03:49I haven't heard a single time.
03:49I don't know, please.
03:49Thank you very much, everybody.
03:50I was on YouTube during this short time, with the top three increments.
03:50Thank you very much for me.
03:50This way, at first of all, has about everything who sit here,
03:52the gutter has an hour a month to jam with him,
03:52and to track him down without measuring the corporate purpose.
04:08We simply start small groups but he can do it.
04:08I don't know.
04:28Don broke and ambiguous laughter drifted from the kitchen.
04:31Abby was still wearing Peter's oversized shirt, pressing herself tightly against his back,
04:36covering his hands to teach him how to fry eggs.
04:40Every move was deliberate and intimate.
04:42They smiled at each other like a newly wedded couple.
04:45I stood at the kitchen door like an unwelcome stranger.
04:48Peter adjusted his pajamas.
04:50Go wash up.
04:51Don't just stand there.
04:53In the bathroom, my toothbrush thrown into the trash can.
04:56In the cup, a brand new pink toothbrush leaned closely against Peter's.
05:01Explain this.
05:03Oh, sorry, Kelly.
05:04I was half asleep this morning.
05:06I thought it was my old toothbrush and tossed it without thinking.
05:08That pink one is new.
05:10I bought it to match Peter's.
05:11Abby stuck out her tongue innocently.
05:13It's just a toothbrush.
05:13I'll send you money.
05:15Don't make trouble early in the morning.
05:16I took a deep breath, opened my notebook, and calmly checked off throws away my things.
05:21Peter exploded instantly.
05:22Kelly!
05:23Are you done?
05:24I held the notebook up to him.
05:26The next prediction clearly read feeds him with her own hands.
05:29He sneered.
05:30No way.
05:31I have hands and feet.
05:32Why would I let her feed me?
05:35Peter, open your mouth.
05:37Peter opened his mouth instinctively.
05:39After two chews, his face froze in extreme embarrassment.
05:42I calmly checked it off and whispered,
05:44Good boy.
05:45Kelly, why are you always targeting me?
05:47We've been like this since we were kids.
05:48Why is it a sin with you?
05:50Peter was terrified.
05:51He snatched the knife away.
05:53Kelly, do you have to drive her to death?
05:54My heart completely cold.
05:56Fine.
05:57I'm leaving.
05:59As I dragged out my suitcase, Abby was sitting on Peter's lap.
06:02Peter, this is for you.
06:04A wedding gift.
06:06Read the last prediction and see if it comes true.
06:09Peter picked it up disdainfully, glanced at it, tossed it into the trash can, and never looked at me again.
06:15I sat in the cafe downstairs, watching the surveillance footage on my phone.
06:20I knew my predictions about girls like her would never be wrong.
06:24After I left, the footage became spectacular.
06:27Abby dug out my custom hand, embroidered wedding dress.
06:30It was too small for her, but she forced herself into it.
06:34The expensive fabric tore sharply as she pulled roughly.
06:37If it's torn, it's torn. I'll buy you a new one later.
06:41Then she made Peter open my safe, took out the five-carat diamond ring he had bought with all his
06:46savings,
06:46and put it on Abby's finger himself.
06:49I saved all the footage and waited quietly for the right moment.
06:52On the 80th birthday of Peter's grandfather, I wore old clothes, looking haggard,
06:57and arrived on time with a basket of free-range eggs.
07:01When I pushed open the banquet hall door, the whole room fell silent.
07:05Kelly, you're finally heir! Why are you dressed like this? To embarrass Peter?
07:10I ignored her and walked straight to Grandpa Ben. Grandpa Ben grabbed my hand with concern.
07:15How did you get so thin? Didn't Peter take good care of you?
07:18My eyes turned red. I pointed at Abby.
07:20My dress? My wedding ring? Why are they all on you?
07:24The whole hall erupted in shock.
07:25What nonsense are you talking about? You said you didn't want that dress,
07:30and you lent the ring to her. Don't act crazy!
07:34When did I lend them to you? Peter, you opened your fiancé's safe-free just to please your best
07:40girlfriend? This sentence completely destroyed his dignity. Abby immediately collapsed to the ground,
07:45clutching her stomach, crying poorly. It hurts. Did Kelly poison the wine? Peter chose to believe her
07:52without hesitation just to cover his embarrassment. He rushed to me and slapped me hard across the
07:57face. I fell to the ground, my hand pressed on broken glass. Grandpa trembled with rage,
08:02raised his cane and hit Peter hard.
08:06You unfillyful son! Get out of the Johnson family with this vixen!
08:11I slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth.
08:14Peter, do you really think you're that desirable? Peter sneered.
08:18Regretting now? Begging me not to break up? Unless you kneel to Abby three times right now!
08:24The heavy banquet hall door was kicked open from outside. Dozens of bodyguards filed in
08:28and blocked all exits. Peter turned pale and staggered back in fear.
08:32The engagement ends here. But today, you will pay back everything you owe me.
08:38I slapped him hard across the face. Lock the doors! No one leaves without my permission!
08:50Kelly! What do you think you're doing? This is the Johnson family's territory. I dare you to touch me!
08:56I'm just taking back what belongs to me. I'm also collecting a bit of interest.
09:03These two slaps are to teach you how to behave!
09:08Take it off. No! Peter gave this to me! Ouch! My finger!
09:18I took the ring, wiped it with a wet tissue in disgust, and slipped it into my pocket.
09:23Trash sorting complete. Now take your junk and get out.
09:33I calmly announced the engagement cancellation and demanded Peter return the two million I paid
09:38for the apartment down payment in front of Johnson family relatives. When he saw the intimidating
09:43bodyguards at the entrance, he could only grit his teeth and drag Abby away. Damn,
09:49bitch! She actually dared to make me kneel in public! Abby, with swollen fingers,
09:54plotted viciously and told Peter that Kelly had humiliated him publicly to ruin his reputation.
10:00Seeing Peter turn pale, she quickly showed him a secretly recorded video suggesting they take the
10:06initiative to ruin Kelly's reputation online so that she would beg for mercy instead of demanding
10:12repayment. Post it now! I want her to know what happens after offending me! That night,
10:17a maliciously edited video rushed to the top of the local hot search list. Someone even tracked down
10:22the apartment I was living in. They splashed red paint on my door and sent funeral wreaths.
10:27My boss called and suspended me due to the online backlash, saying I was a liability to the company
10:33and fired me directly when I tried to explain. The call ended. I lost my job. Peter sent a hospital
10:39photo of Abby and threatened me. Give him two million, apologize publicly. Or he would expose
10:45my private photos to destroy me. Private photos. We were together for three years,
10:50and the most intimate thing we ever did was kiss. The so-called private photos were probably just
10:57ugly bare-faced pictures of me sleeping. Kelly, you saw this coming, didn't you? But this won't stop me.
11:06The game has only just begun.
11:10Early the next morning, there was a loud commotion downstairs. I saw exactly what I had expected.
11:16Peter was pushing a wheelchair. Abby sat in it with a blanket over her legs. A crowd of live streamers
11:21holding phones, and curious neighbors surrounded them. Peter cried tearfully at the camera. Abby sat
11:26in the wheelchair, fake crying and playing the victim. Demanding that I return her medical expenses,
11:31people around them pointed and whispered. Someone even started banging on my door. I took a deep
11:36breath and yanked the door open. The people outside were startled and stepped back a few paces.
11:41Countless phone cameras were shoved towards my face. Peter also came over. Kelly, you finally showed
11:47your face! Pay up! When I looked at him calmly, I loudly told everyone that Peter sold his house,
11:52because he owed me two million. I paid half the down-comic and the renovation cost and the transfer
11:56record. Bullshit! You're a liar! Abby suddenly screamed and rolled off the wheelchair. She grabbed
12:02my leg. She secretly dug her nails hard into my calf. A sharp pain shot through me. I instinctively
12:08shook my leg. Abby used the momentum to fly backward. Murder! Kelly killed someone. Peter shouted at the top of
12:15his lungs and rushed over to hit me. Just as his fist was about to touch my face, two police
12:20officers
12:21pushed through the crowd. Peter froze for a moment and shouted. Officer, you came just in time.
12:29This crazy woman is trying to kill my bro. I calmly raised my phone. Officer, there's a security camera
12:36at my door and it captured the whole thing. When Abby heard the word surveillance, her eyelids twitched
12:40while she lay on the ground pretending to be unconscious. The police took all of us back to
12:44the station. In front of the complete surveillance footage, Peter's lies collapsed instantly. Especially
12:50the footage of Abby rolling herself off the wheelchair, pinching me hard, and then faking the fall by
12:55using my movement. It was all extremely clear. The police severely criticized Peter and Abby. Abby was
13:01given five days of administrative detention. Peter wasn't detained, but he felt completely humiliated.
13:06When we left the station, Peter stared at me fiercely. Stop talking nonsense. I've got plenty
13:12of ways to make a comeback. When Abby gets out, we'll still live better than you. Just wait and see.
13:18Watching him leave, while forcing himself to act tough, I let out a contemptuous smile. On the day
13:24Abby was detained, my lawyer slapped the lawsuit down in front of Peter. We will file charges for
13:29embezzlement. Faced with the detailed transfer records and a lawsuit that could land him in prison,
13:33Peter finally panicked. To avoid jail, he had no choice but to put the apartment up for an urgent
13:38sale. I received the bank notification. I smiled. This wasn't just money. It was the foundation of
13:43Peter's life. He returned to the Johnson family's old residence. Heavy rain poured down. His forehead
13:48bruised purple from kowtowing. His hoarse shouts tore through the rain. Grandpa! I'm the eldest grandson
13:54of the Johnson family! I sold the house and have nowhere to go! You can't just let me sleep on
13:58the
13:58streets! After a long time, the butler finally came out with an umbrella and handed him a soaked
14:03document. This is a statement. Cutting off relations, Peter stared blankly at the document.
14:09He sprang to his feet, tore the paper to shreds, shouted at the door. You better believe that bitch
14:13than your own grandson! It's all Kelly! That bitch did this! Kelly, you made everyone abandon me!
14:20I'll make you take losing your loved ones too! I was in my apartment organizing evidence when the head
14:25nurse called. Miss Kelly, Mr. Peter came to cause trouble. He said you went bankrupt for fraud and
14:30were arrested. He forcefully demanded that we stop your grandma's medication and oxygen. Your
14:34grandma was overwhelmed and is in emergency treatment. My mind went blank for a second. My
14:39phone almost slipped from my hand as I rushed out and drove like crazy. Just as I reached the emergency
14:44room entrance, Peter's call came in, cold and eerie. If you want your grandma to live, transfer me five
14:50million right now. Otherwise, I'll pull out her oxygen tube next time. Peter, are you even human?
14:57That's a life! The call ended. I leaned against the wall, gasping for air and forcing myself to calm
15:02down. Two hours later, my grandma finally pulled through. I immediately hired bodyguards at a high
15:07price to guard the ward around the clock. As long as Peter has money, he will keep causing trouble.
15:12I immediately contacted my lawyer. I want both of them to rot in prison. Abby was also released from
15:18detention. The first thing she did after getting out was send me a photo of her slashed wrist.
15:23Right after that, a video call came through. On the screen, Peter held Abby. Kelly, Abby was driven
15:30to suicide by you. You murderer. I looked at the screen coldly. Cutting the wrist doesn't kill you
15:37if you hit the vein. Next time, aim for the artery. And don't die in a hotel. Turning it into
15:42a murder
15:43house costs compensation. Peter smashed the phone in rage. Half an hour later, Abby started a live stream.
15:48Her hand was wrapped in gauze. Her face pale. Netizens who didn't know the truth were fooled
15:53again. Gifts flooded the screen. I watched the skyrocketing viewer count. My eyes turned ice cold.
15:58Peter and Abby clawed back some money by selling misery through live streams.
16:02They began plotting revenge. I wrote down their possible next moves in my notebook.
16:07After finishing, I bought a high value personal accident insurance policy. I also installed full
16:12coverage dash cams and a tracker in my car. That night, I drove home. When I reached a remote river
16:18side road, a beat up car suddenly surged up from behind. My heart tightened. I glanced at the
16:22rear view mirror. The driver wore a mask, but I recognized those eyes. It was Peter and Abby.
16:27I floored the accelerator and tried to shake them off, but that car rammed into me. The violent impact
16:32almost sent me crashing into the guardrail. Peter roared madly as he rolled down the window. Abby held a
16:38glass bottle and hurled it at my windshield. The bottle shattered. Red paint splashed across my view.
16:43I gripped the steering wheel tightly and slowed down. The front of the car slammed into the curb.
16:47The airbag deployed and smashed into my face. Dizziness hit and blood poured from my nose.
16:52The car door was yanked open. Peter dragged me out and threw me onto the ground. He kicked me hard
16:57in the stomach. Abby rushed over with a fruit knife and slashed straight at my face. At the critical
17:02moment, I used all my strength to grab a handful of sand and fling it at her eyes. Abby screamed
17:07and
17:07covered her eyes by a few inches but still sliced my face. I rolled aside and pressed the personal
17:12alarm in my hand. Peter panicked. He rushed over and grabbed my hair. I clung to the roadside railing
17:18and bit down hard on his wrist. Peter screamed in pain and struck my head repeatedly. I started to
17:24lose my consciousness. Police sirens sounded in the distance. Peter shot me a vicious look.
17:28Kelly, you are lucky this time. You won't be so lucky next time. He kicked me one last time,
17:34jumped into the car, and sped off. I lay on the ground and watched the taillights disappear.
17:38My hand clenched tightly around a string of prayer beads, torn from Peter's wrist. They were a gift
17:43from my grandma for his safety. Now they were evidence of his attempted murder. Trembling. I pulled
17:49out my phone and dialed the number I had prepared long ago. Officer Ethan, I want to report an
17:54attempted murder. I have evidence. I lay in the hospital for three days. I had a mild concussion,
18:00a cracked rib, and three stitches on my face. Grandma cried herself hoarse at my bedside. But inside,
18:05I felt an unprecedented sense of relief, because Peter and Abby were finished. This time, it wasn't
18:12disorderly conduct or a simple fight. It was premeditated attempted murder. The evidence was
18:17ironclad. The police quickly locked onto their location. They were arrested at an abandoned
18:22freight station on the outskirts of the city. Officer Ethan, who led the arrest, told me that when
18:27the police rushed in, the two of them were already beating each other bloody. They were seconds away
18:32from killing each other. It turned out that while fleeing, Peter had handed all his remaining
18:37savings to Abby for safekeeping. At the freight station, Peter went out to buy water. When he
18:43came back, Abby was gone. He went insane searching nearby, and finally found her trading for a black
18:49market boat ticket to leave alone. The seller asked, What about that man? He's not coming with you?
18:55He's useless now. Leaving him behind will draw the police's attention and buy me time.
19:00At that moment, Peter's world collapsed. He had betrayed everyone for this so-called best friend.
19:05He had become a wanted man for attempted murder.
19:35to make a pecado. He had got men for the cargo sampler. He had to go with him, and then
19:35he
19:35got robbed on his horse. He had to be able to go with him. He's just a bit.
19:36I mean, it's not a 싸uzed. He's a little bit worried.
19:37He's a little bit worried about him. He's a little bit worried about him.
19:37He had to do and I'll get to sleep and put him down the other side of the day.
19:39Over time.
19:44Over time.
19:55.
20:25.
20:55.
20:57.
20:59.
21:01.
21:04.
21:05.
21:13.
21:13She planned to use him as bait and run off with his money.
21:16Peter lunged at her, eyes bloodshot, and grabbed her by the throat.
21:19What the fuck are you doing?
21:22I lost everything for you.
21:24You're too stupid!
21:29If it weren't for your money,
21:31do you think I'd waste my time acting out this fake brotherhip with you?
21:39Struggled to breathe, yet she still spat the most vicious words at him.
21:45Peter completely snapped.
21:47He grabbed a brick from the ground and tried to smash her to death.
21:50Abby pulled out the fruit knife she carried and stabbed it hard into Peter's thigh.
21:55If I'm going to die, we die together!
21:56When the police broke in, Peter was covered in blood.
21:59He was still gripping Abby's hair tightly and screaming.
22:02Officer, help me!
22:03I was forced!
22:04Everything was under his instructions!
22:07Everything was under his instructions!
22:08I listened to the officer's account from my hospital bed and felt nothing but bitter irony.
22:13I cooperated with the police and handed over the notebook filled with predictions.
22:18Miss, you actually predicted everything.
22:22Everything matched.
22:26It's not prophecy.
22:28It's human nature.
22:34I just thought one step ahead and prepared a little more.
22:39Peter and Abby were formally arrested.
22:41What awaited them was severe punishment under the law.
22:44In the interrogation room, Abby went mad with accusations.
22:48She claimed Peter had ordered everything and said she was coerced.
22:52She even claimed to be pregnant in an attempt to get bail.
22:55Peter threw all the blame onto Abby.
22:57He said he had been seduced and misled by that vicious woman.
23:00In detention, the two of them exposed each other's secrets and tore off every last disguise.
23:05It turned out Peter had known about Abby's overseas fraud cases all along.
23:10He had even helped launder money for her.
23:12That sealed it.
23:13Multiple crimes combined.
23:15No escape for them now.
23:17On the day of the trial, I appeared in court as the victim.
23:19Peter, gaunt in prison uniform and handcuffs,
23:23knelt down and begged her bitterly for forgiveness the moment he saw her.
23:27On the other side, Abby shrieked.
23:29Kelly!
23:30You bitch!
23:31You set us up!
23:32You'll die horribly!
23:35Order!
23:36I sat in the plaintiff's seat and looked at the two people who had once disgusted me beyond words.
23:42I felt no anger.
23:43I felt no sorrow.
23:44Only calm.
23:45Evil brings its own retribution.
23:47Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.
23:49Your Honor, I request a heavy sentence.
23:52Please let the law give us the answer we deserve.
23:55Three months later, the verdict came.
23:57Peter got 20 years.
23:59Abby, 15 years.
24:00Both fined and stripped of political rights.
24:03Peter collapsed.
24:05Ross, you're here!
24:06I knew Grandpa wouldn't abandon me!
24:08Mr. Peter.
24:09The Johnson family's butler appeared, telling Peter that his grandfather had only wanted him to learn a lesson.
24:16But he had chosen murder, and the family would not shelter a criminal.
24:20The way out had once been right beneath his feet.
24:22He had taken the wrong path.
24:25Peter, you idiot!
24:26You smashed your future, and you also ruined me!
24:29Everything was finally over.
24:31I walked out of the courthouse.
24:33Kelly, let's go home.
24:34Grandma waited for me outside in her wheelchair.
24:36Let's go home.
24:36I pushed her along a street, covered in fallen leaves.
24:39I left that notebook in a trash bin at the courthouse.
24:43From now on, there was no need to predict or guard against anything.
24:47I only needed to live well.
24:49Three years later, my new book, named How to Identify Toxic Relationships Around You, was published.
24:55At the signing event, the crowd was packed.
25:01Miss Kelly, if I meet someone like that too, can I be brave like you?
25:06Saw the girl who cried late at night while writing in that notebook.
