00:00I've always had a built-in radar for pick-me girls who hide behind the one-of-the-guys act.
00:04You 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.
00:19I didn't argue. I just pulled out a small notebook and began listing predictions.
00:25When he peaked, I said,
00:26I'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!
00:54Quick! We'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.
01:09Kelly, 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,
01:36trembling gaze slowly checked off,
01:38taking the master bedroom.
01:40When did you write that?
01:41His voice shook the second she walked through the door.
01:44I replied, snapping the book shut.
01:47Abby immediately grabbed Peter's sleeve,
01:49eyes welling up with fake tears as she performed a slow-motion exit.
01:52Predictably, Peter blocked her path,
01:55screaming at me for being heartless.
01:57I looked at the man I was supposed to marry,
01:59the man currently kicking his fiancée out of her own bed for another woman.
02:03I didn't fight.
02:05I simply nodded and walked into the rock-hard guest room.
02:08Through the walls, I heard Abby's victorious giggle.
02:12She was already jokingly, asking Peter to scrub her back in the shower.
02:16I sat on the edge of the bed,
02:18opened my phone,
02:19and activated the hidden security cameras
02:21I'd originally installed for burglars.
02:23I opened my notebook one last time
02:25and wrote down my final prediction for the night.
02:27Sure enough, at two in the morning,
02:30a 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,
02:39throwing herself into Peter's arms like a frightened animal.
02:42Still half asleep,
02:44Peter instinctively tightened his grip around her.
02:46Don't worry.
02:47I've got you.
02:48Wordlessly,
02:49I slapped the switch on the bedside lamp.
02:51Under the harsh white light,
02:53Abby was straddling Peter's waist,
02:55the top three buttons of her shirt,
02:57undone 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
03:04and buried her head in the crook of Peter's neck.
03:07Kelly,
03:07I'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,
03:17instead of pushing her away,
03:19he yanked the duvet up to wrap her tightly.
03:21What are you doing?
03:22You scared her!
03:23I remained silent,
03:25calmly pulling the notebook from beneath my pillow.
03:27I checked,
03:28pretend to be scared,
03:29and crawl into Peter's bed.
03:30I'm so sorry.
04:09Goodbye.
04:16Goodbye.
04:28Goodbye.
04:29Good morning.
04:29Good morning.
04:29laughter drifted from the kitchen. Abby was still wearing Peter's oversized shirt,
04:34pressing herself tightly against his back, covering his hands to teach him how to fry eggs.
04:40Every move was deliberate and intimate. They smiled at each other like a newly wedded couple.
04:45I stood at the kitchen door like an unwelcome stranger. Peter adjusted his pajamas.
04:50Go wash up. Don't just stand there. In 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. Oh, sorry, Kelly. I was half asleep this morning. I thought it was my old toothbrush
05:07and tossed it without thinking. That pink one is new. I bought it to match Peter's.
05:11Abby stuck out her tongue innocently. It's just a toothbrush. I'll send you money.
05:14Don't make trouble early in the morning. I took a deep breath, opened my notebook,
05:18and calmly checked off throws away my things. Peter exploded instantly.
05:22Kelly, are you done? I held the notebook up to him.
05:26The next prediction clearly read, feeds him with her own hands. He sneered.
05:30No way. I have hands and feet. Why would I let her feed me?
05:35Peter, open your mouth. Peter opened his mouth instinctively.
05:39After two chews, his face froze in extreme embarrassment. I calmly checked it off and
05:43whispered, good boy. Kelly, why are you always targeting me? We've been like this since we were
05:48kids. Why is it a sin with you? Peter was terrified. He snatched the knife away.
05:52Kelly, do you have to drive her to death? My heart completely cold. Fine. I'm leaving.
05:59As I dragged out my suitcase, Abby was sitting on Peter's lap. Peter, this is for you. A wedding
06:05gift. Read the last prediction and see if it comes true. Peter picked it up disdainfully,
06:11glanced at it, tossed it into the trash can, and never looked at me again. I sat in the cafe
06:16downstairs, watching the surveillance footage on my phone. I knew my predictions about girls like
06:22her would never be wrong. After I left, the footage became spectacular. Abby dug out my custom
06:28hand, embroidered wedding dress. It was too small for her, but she forced herself into it.
06:34The expensive fabric tore sharply as she pulled roughly. If it's torn, it's torn. I'll buy you a new
06:39one later. Then she made Peter open my safe, took out the five-carat diamond ring he had bought with
06:45all his savings, and put it on Abby's finger himself. I saved all the footage and waited quietly
06:51for the right moment. On the 80th birthday of Peter's grandfather, I wore old clothes, looking
06:57haggard, and arrived on time with a basket of free-range eggs. When I pushed open the banquet hall
07:03door, the whole room fell silent. Kelly, you're finally heir! Why are you dressed like this?
07:09To embarrass Peter? I ignored her and walked straight to Grandpa Ben. Grandpa Ben grabbed
07:14my hand with concern. How did you get so thin? Didn't Peter take good care of you? My eyes turned
07:19red. I pointed at Abby. My dress? My wedding ring? Why are they all on you? The whole hall erupted
07:25in
07:25shock. What nonsense are you talking about? You said you didn't want that dress, and you lent the ring
07:31to her. Don't act crazy! When did I lend them to you? Peter, you opened your fiancé's safe-free
07:39just to please your best girlfriend? This sentence completely destroyed his dignity. Abby immediately
07:44collapsed to the ground, clutching her stomach, crying poorly. It hurts. Did Kelly poison the wine?
07:51Peter chose to believe her without hesitation, just to cover his embarrassment. He rushed to me and
07:56slapped me hard across the face. I fell to the ground, my hand pressed on broken glass.
08:01Grandpa trembled with rage, raised 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 and blocked
08:29all 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.
08:40Lock 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
08:55to touch me! I'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.
09:10No! 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.
09:23All right. Trash 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
10:06the initiative 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. My boss
10:27called and suspended me due to the online backlash, saying I was a liability to the company and fired
10:33me directly when I tried to explain. The call ended. I lost my job. Peter sent a hospital photo of
10:40Abby
10:40and threatened me. Give him two million, apologize publicly, or he would expose my private photos to
10:46destroy me. Private photos. We were together for three years, and the most intimate thing we ever did was kiss.
10:54The so-called private photos were probably just ugly bare-faced pictures of me sleeping.
11:00Kelly, you saw this coming, didn't you? But this won't stop me.
11:05The 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 her 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.
11:25Abby sat in the wheelchair, fake crying and playing the victim. Demanding that I return her medical
11:30expenses, people 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 toward my face. Peter also came over and rushed at me and reached
11:46for my house. Kelly, you finally showed your face! Pay up!
11:48I looked at him calmly. I loudly told everyone that Peter sold his house because he owed me two million.
11:53I paid half the down-home-ing and the renovation cost and the transfer record with anger.
11:56Bullshit! You're a liar! Abby suddenly screamed and rolled off the wheelchair. She grabbed my leg.
12:02She secretly dug her nails hard into my calf. A sharp pain shot at me. I instinctively shook my leg.
12:09Abby 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 then 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 the
12:44station. In front of the complete surveillance footage, Peter's lies collapsed instantly.
12:49Especially the footage of Abby rolling herself off the wheelchair, pinching me hard, and then faking the
12:54fall by using my movement. It was all extremely clear. The police severely criticized Peter and
12:59Abby. Abby was given five days of administrative detention. Peter wasn't detained, but he felt
13:05completely humiliated. When we left the station, Peter stared at me fiercely. Stop talking nonsense.
13:11I've got plenty of ways to make a comeback. When Abby gets out, we'll still live better than you.
13:17Just wait and see. Watching him leave while forcing himself to act tough, I let out a contemptuous
13:23smile. On the day Abby was detained, my lawyer slapped the lawsuit down in front of Peter.
13:27We will file charges for embezzlement. Faced with the detailed transfer records and a lawsuit that
13:32could land him in prison, Peter finally panicked to avoid jail. He had no choice but to put the
13:37apartment up for an urgent sale. I received the bank notification. I smiled. This wasn't just money,
13:42it was the foundation of Peter's life. He returned to the Johnson family's old residence. Heavy rain poured
13:47down, his forehead bruised purple from cow-toeing. His hoarse shouts tore through the rain.
13:51Grandpa! I'm the eldest grandson of the Johnson family! I sold the house and have nowhere to go!
13:57You can't just let me sleep on the streets! After a long time, the butler finally came
14:01out with an umbrella and handed him a soaked document. This is a statement.
14:06Cutting off relations, Peter stared blankly at the document. He sprang to his feet, tore the paper to
14:11shreds. Shout at the door. I was in my apartment organizing evidence when the head nurse called.
14:26Miss Kelly, Mr. Peter came to cause trouble. He said you went bankrupt for fraud and were arrested.
14:30He forcibly demanded that we stop your grandma's medication and oxygen. Your grandma was overwhelmed
14:35and is in emergency treatment. My mind went blank for a second. My phone almost slipped from my hand
14:41as I rushed out and drove like crazy. Just as I reached the emergency room entrance,
14:45Peter's call came in, cold and eerie. If you want your grandma to live,
14:49transfer me five million right now. Otherwise, I'll pull out her oxygen tube next time.
14:55Peter! Are you even human? That's a life! The call ended, I leaned against the wall,
15:00gasping for air and forcing myself to calm down. Two hours later, my grandma finally pulled through.
15:05I immediately hired bodyguards at a high price to guard the ward around the clock.
15:09As long as Peter has money, he will keep causing trouble. I immediately contacted my lawyer. I want
15:15both of them to rot in prison. Abby was also released from detention. The first thing she
15:20did after getting out was send me a photo of her slashed wrist. Right after that, a video call came
15:25through. On the screen, Peter held Abby. Kelly, Abby was driven to suicide by you. You murderer.
15:33I looked at the screen coldly. Cutting the wrist doesn't kill you if you hit the vein. Next time,
15:38aim for the artery. And don't die in a hotel. Turning it into a murder house costs compensation.
15:44Peter smashed the phone in rage. Half an hour later, Abby started a live stream. Her hand was
15:49wrapped in gauze. Her face pale. Netizens who didn't know the truth were fooled again.
15:53Gifts flooded the screen. I watched the skyrocketing viewer count. My eyes turned ice cold. Peter and
15:58Abby clawed back some money by selling misery through live streams. They began plotting revenge. I wrote down
16:04their possible next moves in my notebook. After finishing, I bought a high value personal accident
16:10insurance policy. I also installed full coverage dash cams and a tracker in my car. That night,
16:15I drove home. When I reached a remote riverside road, a beat up car suddenly surged up from home.
16:21My heart tightened. I glanced at the rear view mirror. The driver wore a mask, but I recognized
16:25those eyes. It was Peter and Abby. I floored the accelerator and tried to shake them off,
16:29but that car rammed into me. The violent impact almost sent me crashing into the guardrail.
16:34Peter roared madly as he rolled down the window. Abby held a glass bottle and hurled it at my
16:39windshield. The bottle shattered. Red paint splashed across my view. I gripped the steering
16:44wheel tightly and slowed down. The front of the car slammed into the curb. The airbag deployed and
16:48smashed into my face. Dizziness hit and blood poured from my nose. The car door was yanked open.
16:54Peter dragged me out and threw me onto the ground. He kicked me hard in the stomach.
16:57Abby rushed over with a fruit knife and slashed straight at my face. At the critical moment,
17:02I used all my strength to grab a handful of sand and fling it at her eyes. Abby screamed and
17:07covered
17:07her 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
17:23lose 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 from
17:43my grandma for his safety. Now they were evidence of his attempted murder, trembling. I pulled out
17:49my phone and dialed the number I had prepared long ago. Officer Ethan, I want to report an attempted
17:54murder. I have evidence. I lay in the hospital for three days. I had a mild concussion, a cracked rib,
18:00and three stitches on my face. Grandma cried herself hoarse at my bedside. But inside, I felt an
18:06unprecedented sense of relief because Peter and Abby were finished. This time, it wasn't disorderly
18:12conduct or a simple fight. It was premeditated attempted murder. The evidence was ironclad.
18:18The police quickly locked onto their location. They were arrested at an abandoned freight station
18:23on the outskirts of the city. Officer Ethan, who led the arrest, told me that when the police rushed in,
18:28the two of them were already beating each other bloody. They were seconds away from killing each other.
18:34It turned out that while fleeing, Peter had handed all his remaining savings to Abby for
18:38safekeeping. At the freight station, Peter went out to buy water. When he came back, Abby was gone.
18:45He went insane searching nearby and finally found her trading for a black market boat ticket to leave
18:50alone. The seller asked, What about that man? He's not coming with you? He's useless now. Leaving him
18:57behind will draw the police's attention and buy me time. At that moment, Peter's world collapsed. He had
19:02betrayed everyone for this so-called best friend. He had become a wanted man for attempted murder.
19:33He had become a wanted man for it to be. He was blamed for his family.
19:37He had become a wanted man for his brother, Peter. He was in the front .
19:37He would say, What about that man? The other man who lived for that man?
19:38He was afraid of himself. I was afraid of himself, Peter.
19:40I did. He was afraid of intelligence, he was afraid to go with him.
19:42I got to be afraid of him, but I didn't think so.
19:59He went and I can do it. He's like, oh, I guess I don't know what he said.
20:02.
20:32.
21:02.
21:02.
21:03.
21:12.
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!
21:25You're too stupid!
21:29If it weren't for your money, do 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.
21:51Abby pulled out the fruit knife she carried and stabbed it hard into Peter's thigh.
21:54If 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!
22:06Everything 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.
22:25It'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.
23:16On the day of the trial, I appeared in court as the victim.
23:19Peter, gaunt in prison uniform and handcuffs, knelt down and begged her bitterly for forgiveness the moment he saw her.
23:27On the other side, Abby shrieked.
23:29Kelly! You bitch! You set us up! You'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.
23:41I felt no anger. I felt no sorrow. Only 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. Abby, 15 years.
24:00Both fined and stripped of political rights, Peter collapsed.
24:05Ross, you're here! I 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! You 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.
24:42From 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?
25:06I saw the girl who cried late at night while writing in that notebook.
25:09Your courage is your strongest weapon.
25:12The girl smiled through her tears.
25:14I looked up toward the window.
25:16A new story was unfolding somewhere in this city.
25:19This time, I believed more people would learn to pick up their weapons and protect themselves.
25:23And I could finally take off my armor and embrace the bright future I deserved.
