00:01On April Fool's Day,
00:03my oldest brother Ethan
00:04built me a fully transparent glass coffin.
00:07My second brother Ryan
00:09made burial clothes tailored just for me.
00:11My third brother Caleb
00:12filled the bottom of the coffin
00:14with imported flowers.
00:16All because Sophia,
00:17the adopted daughter of our family,
00:19wanted to play a prank today.
00:20She wanted me to sleep inside the coffin
00:22for one night.
00:23As long as you get in there
00:24and prove you can take a joke,
00:26we'll officially accept you.
00:27We'll treat you like real family.
00:30I wanted so badly to belong in this family.
00:32So I put on the burial clothes
00:34without hesitation and lay down inside.
00:36But the moment the coffin lid locked shut,
00:38I realized something was wrong.
00:40There was not a single air hole inside.
00:43The oxygen disappeared fast.
00:45I started pounding on the glass like crazy,
00:47begging them to let me out.
00:49Sophia stood outside with her phone raised
00:51as she live streamed me.
00:53Guys, look at my sister.
00:55Her acting is so good.
00:57Her face is turning purple from holding her breath.
00:59She's making it look so real.
01:01Chloe, knock it off.
01:03You just got in there and now you want out?
01:05Stop embarrassing yourself.
01:07The suffocating feeling got worse.
01:09My lungs felt like they were about to burst.
01:11Soon, I could not even move my mouth
01:13to beg for help.
01:14Ryan looked at me and let out a cold laugh.
01:17You really do anything for attention, don't you?
01:19Caleb leaned close to the glass and clapped while...
01:22She's such a drama queen.
01:23Then I heard Ethan talking to the viewers
01:25on Sophia's live stream.
01:28She's always like this.
01:29She can't take a joke.
01:30She loves playing the victim.
01:32She just can't stand seeing Sophia happy.
01:35She has to ruin the mood every single time.
01:38I stared at them through the glass in total despair.
01:41I wasn't acting.
01:42I was really dying.
01:46I used the last bit of strength I had.
01:48With my ten bloody fingers,
01:50I slammed against the glass coffin wall.
01:52Ryan leaned closer from the other side.
01:54When he saw the bloody marks on the glass,
01:56his brows pulled together.
01:58Chloe, what's wrong?
01:59If you're really feeling sick,
02:01I'll let you out right now.
02:02He had just pulled out the key,
02:03but Sophia suddenly rushed over
02:05and grabbed his arm.
02:06Ryan, come on!
02:07She's messing with you!
02:08Sophia pointed at the blood on the glass
02:10and laughed so hard her body shook.
02:12Look at it!
02:13That blood is so fake!
02:15You even prepared fake blood packs
02:17for this April Fool's prank?
02:19Wow, she really respects the holiday.
02:21She's so committed!
02:23Ryan froze for a second.
02:24Then he let go of the key
02:25and burst out laughing.
02:27Chloe, seriously?
02:28You even prepared fake blood
02:29for April Fool's Day?
02:30My mouth opened wide.
02:32My body shook hard.
02:33Breathe!
02:35I stared at Ryan.
02:36I mouthed the words
02:37as desperately as I could.
02:39I prayed he would understand
02:40how much pain I was in,
02:41but Ryan only gave me a thumbs up.
02:43He looked totally relaxed.
02:45The color of this blood
02:46is actually insane.
02:47You really worked hard
02:48to fit in with us, huh?
02:49But the technique
02:49is still kind of rough.
02:50Next time, I'll teach you
02:51what movie-level
02:52special effects look like.
02:54Sophia held up her phone
02:55and shoved the live stream camera
02:57right against the glass coffin.
02:59Guys, look.
02:59My sister's eyes are rolling back.
03:01Her acting is literally next level.
03:03Everyone, drop a follow
03:05for my sister's crazy acting skills.
03:07Let's see how long she can keep
03:09this whole pity act going.
03:11I rolled in pain.
03:13I slammed my elbows and knees
03:14against the coffin lid like crazy.
03:16I even smashed my forehead
03:18against the glass.
03:19Blood covered my vision.
03:20Ethan walked over.
03:21He, like he was tired of me.
03:23Then he bent his fingers
03:24and tapped the glass
03:25right above my face.
03:27Enough, Chloe.
03:28Stop making me seeming.
03:30Save your energy.
03:31There was not much blame
03:32in his voice.
03:32Instead, he sounded like an adult
03:34who had seen through
03:35a kid's little trick.
03:36I drilled the air holes
03:37in this cabin myself.
03:39I'm not going to suffocate in there.
03:41One full night means
03:42one full night.
03:42Lie there and behave.
03:44Don't think you can force
03:44us to open it like this.
03:46I shook my head in despair.
03:47I wanted to scream.
03:49The air holes were sealed.
03:51But I barely had the strength
03:53to keep my eyes open.
03:57Caleb bent down.
03:58His face was almost
03:59pressed against the glass.
04:01He smiled and pointed at me.
04:03You little drama queen.
04:05Ryan even picked the softest fabric
04:06for your burial clothes.
04:08Just close your eyes
04:08and go to sleep.
04:09He patted the coffin lid.
04:11His tone sounded like
04:12he was coaxing a child.
04:14As long as you make it
04:14through tonight and final test,
04:16I'll take you to buy
04:17your favorite strawberry cheesecake
04:18first thing tomorrow morning.
04:20That'll be your reward.
04:24Caleb, you think we didn't
04:25already plan that?
04:26We already ordered it
04:27from the bakery.
04:28It'll be delivered
04:29first thing tomorrow morning.
04:31Think of it as
04:32Chloe's welcome gift,
04:33her official gift
04:34for joining the family.
04:36Because of the lack of oxygen,
04:38black spots started spreading
04:39across my vision.
04:40Outside the coffin,
04:41my brothers were still laughing.
04:43They were planning
04:44my reward for tomorrow.
04:45They were imagining
04:46that tomorrow,
04:46I would finally become
04:48a real part of the family.
04:49But my mind was already fading.
04:51I could not even see
04:52their faces clearly anymore.
04:54My hands went completely limp.
04:56I looked at them
04:56one last time.
04:58Then my pupils lost focus.
04:59All at once,
05:00my body felt light.
05:01My soul floated out
05:03through the glass coffin
05:04and rose into the air.
05:07I looked down.
05:08My body was still
05:09inside the coffin.
05:10My face had turned
05:11a terrifying shade
05:12of bluish purple.
05:13My lips were black.
05:14My eyes were wide open,
05:16staring straight at the ceiling.
05:18Below me,
05:18Caleb was still
05:19patting the coffin lid.
05:20His voice was light
05:21and teasing.
05:22Whoa,
05:23she really stopped breathing?
05:25What a talent.
05:26That kind of breath control
05:27could win her an Oscar.
05:29Ryan laughed and said,
05:31She's probably tired
05:32from acting.
05:34Too lazy to move now.
05:35I looked at their smiling faces.
05:37Then I screamed at them
05:38with everything I had,
05:40but no sound came out.
05:41I wasn't pretending.
05:43I'm really dead.
05:44My body lay quietly
05:45inside the glass coffin.
05:47The smile on Ryan's face
05:48slowly faded.
05:49He stepped closer.
05:50His nose was almost
05:51touching the glass
05:52as he stared hard
05:53at my face.
05:54Ryan's voice
05:55suddenly sounded tight.
05:57Ethan.
05:57Ethan was looking down
05:58at his phone.
06:01Chloe's face looks wrong.
06:03Ryan reached into his pocket
06:05and pulled out the spare key
06:06to the glass coffin.
06:07She's white as a sheet.
06:07Her lips are turning black.
06:10What if she really passed out?
06:11I'm opening it.
06:13He took the key
06:14and was about to put it
06:15into the lock.
06:18Sophia suddenly rushed over.
06:20She grabbed Ryan's wrist.
06:22Ryan, what are you doing?
06:23Ryan frowned.
06:24Her face looks awful.
06:26Something's not right.
06:27What do you mean awful?
06:28Sophia pointed at my body
06:30inside the coffin
06:31looking pissed.
06:32She stole my foundation.
06:34Ryan froze.
06:36Foundation?
06:37Sophia's eyes turned red.
06:39She bit her lower lip
06:40looking hurt.
06:40My palest shade of foundation
06:42went missing this afternoon
06:44so she stole it
06:45and put it on.
06:46Her skin is so dull and dark.
06:48Of course she looks weird
06:49wearing my lightest shade.
06:51Ethan suddenly looked up.
06:53Sophia,
06:54are you saying
06:55she stole from you?
06:56I floated in the air
06:57and screamed silently,
06:58full of hurt.
06:59I didn't steal anything!
07:02My face is pale
07:03because I stopped
07:04But no one could hear me.
07:05Sophia wiped her tears
07:06and nodded.
07:08It was the limited edition
07:09one you brought back
07:10for me from France
07:11last month.
07:12Ethan's face
07:13went completely dark.
07:14He strode over
07:15to the glass coffin.
07:16He lifted his foot
07:17and kicked the side
07:18of the coffin hard.
07:19The force made
07:20the whole coffin shake.
07:21My body rolled with it.
07:22With a dull thud,
07:23my head slammed hard
07:24against the glass.
07:26Ethan pointed at
07:26my motionless body
07:27inside and cursed.
07:29Chloe!
07:30Stealing wasn't enough
07:31for you?
07:31Now you're playing
07:32dead to scare Sophia?
07:34You really think
07:35we're going to feel
07:36bad for you?
07:42Ryan's hand dropped.
07:43The key hung
07:43uselessly at his side.
07:45I thought you were
07:46in trouble.
07:47Using this low-life
07:48crap to get sympathy
07:50is disgusting.
07:51Sophia held up
07:52her phone and made
07:53a face at the
07:54live stream camera.
07:55My sister is really
07:56out here stealing
07:57my stuff
07:58and playing dead
07:59just to set me up.
08:01The comments went crazy.
08:03They were all cursing me.
08:04Let's out here.
08:07Caleb let out
08:08a cold laugh
08:09from the side.
08:09He looked down
08:10at my face
08:10through the glass.
08:12You really thought
08:13a thick layer of
08:14foundation could fool us?
08:15Through the glass,
08:16he flicked his finger
08:17hard right above my eye.
08:19Nice colored contact
08:20sex, by the way.
08:21They really nailed
08:22that dead fish eye effect.
08:24Your acting is so good,
08:25Hollywood should hire
08:26you to play a corpse.
08:27Enough.
08:28Leave her.
08:29Ethan straightened
08:30the bottom of his
08:30suit jacket,
08:31which had gotten messy
08:32when he kicked the coffin.
08:34No one is opening
08:35this for her tonight.
08:36Better stay in there
08:37and think about
08:38what she did.
08:40Sophia, come on.
08:41Let's go back
08:42to the living room.
08:43We got you
08:43April Fool's gifts.
08:44Let's go open them.
08:45His face softened
08:46at once.
08:47Sophia's eyes lit up.
08:49She immediately
08:49wrapped her arm
08:50around Ethan's.
08:51Really?
08:52Thank you, Ethan?
08:53Before she left,
08:54she turned back
08:54and glanced at my body.
08:55A smug little smile
08:57curled on her lips.
08:58Then the garage light
08:59snapped off.
09:00The heavy roll-up door
09:01slowly came down.
09:05My soul silently followed them.
09:07I drifted into
09:08the mansion's living room.
09:09The huge table
09:10was covered
09:11with beautifully wrapped
09:12designer gift boxes.
09:14Sophia cheered
09:15and threw herself
09:16onto the couch.
09:17Then,
09:17she started opening
09:18the gifts.
09:19A limited edition bag.
09:21A custom diamond necklace.
09:23A sports car key.
09:24Every time she opened one,
09:26she sweetly kissed
09:27one of my brothers
09:28on the cheek.
09:28The three men
09:29looked at her
09:30with pure love
09:31in their eyes.
09:31I floated quietly
09:32near the ceiling.
09:33I watched
09:34this happy little family
09:35of four.
09:36Ethan rubbed his brow.
09:38Then,
09:38he reached for the last
09:39two dark blue velvet
09:41mystery boxes
09:42on the corner
09:42of the table.
09:43Sophia's eyes lit up.
09:45She reached out
09:45to grab them.
09:46Ethan,
09:47what are these?
09:48But Ethan moved
09:49his hand back.
09:51Sophia's hand froze
09:52in midair.
09:53The smile on her face
09:54vanished.
09:55Ryan added from the side.
09:56A custom white
09:57tulle dress
09:57and a bracelet.
09:59Caleb sighed.
10:00It's been so long
10:00since we found her
10:01and brought her back home.
10:03But she only wears
10:04those same two old
10:05t-shirts every day.
10:06She doesn't even
10:06have one decent dress.
10:08When she comes out
10:09tomorrow,
10:09we'll give these to her.
10:11Think of it
10:12as a small sign
10:12that we officially
10:13accept her.
10:17Sophia stared hard
10:18at the two velvet boxes.
10:20Then her eyes
10:20turned red.
10:21Tears started falling.
10:23Are you guys
10:24going to abandon me now?
10:26She suddenly turned away.
10:27She wiped her tears
10:28and cried
10:29like she had been
10:30deeply hurt.
10:31She's already so awful!
10:32She stole my foundation,
10:34played dead to scare me,
10:36and ruined our
10:37April Fool's Day!
10:38And you still prepared
10:39such nice welcome gifts
10:41for her?
10:41Is it because
10:42she's your real sister?
10:44I'm just the adopted one,
10:45so I don't deserve
10:46to stay in this family?
10:48The three brothers
10:48instantly panicked.
10:50Caleb was so anxious
10:51that he dropped
10:52to one knee
10:52beside the couch
10:53and grabbed Sophia's hand.
10:55Sophia,
10:55what are you even
10:55talking about?
10:56In my heart,
10:58you'll always be
10:58my only little sister.
11:00Ethan looked
11:00at the boxes
11:01in his hand.
11:02Then he looked
11:02at Sophia,
11:03who was crying
11:04so hard
11:04she could barely breathe.
11:06He barely hesitated.
11:07He shoved both boxes
11:08into Sophia's arms.
11:11Stop crying.
11:12It's just a dress
11:13and a bracelet.
11:13You can have them.
11:14Sophia looked up
11:15while sobbing.
11:16She pretended to refuse.
11:17These are supposed
11:18to be Chloe's
11:19welcome gifts.
11:20Ethan,
11:20something unreadable
11:22flashed through his eyes.
11:23After the way
11:24she acted today,
11:25all full of tricks
11:25and lies,
11:26she doesn't deserve
11:26to wear something
11:27this pure and white.
11:28When she comes out
11:29tomorrow,
11:30I'll just buy her
11:30something else later.
11:34Tears fell
11:35from my empty,
11:36ghostly eyes.
11:37No need.
11:38Ethan,
11:38you don't need
11:39to make it up
11:39to me anymore
11:40because I would
11:41never receive
11:41your gifts again.
11:43Sophia stopped
11:43crying and smiled.
11:45Right in front of them,
11:46she eagerly opened
11:47the boxes.
11:47She shook out
11:48the dress that had
11:49clearly been made
11:50to my size
11:50and held it
11:51against herself.
11:52Then she lifted
11:53the skirt excitedly
11:54and turned
11:54to my three brothers.
11:56A cruel flash
11:57passed through her eyes.
11:59Ethan,
12:00Ryan,
12:01Caleb,
12:01I want to try
12:02it on right now!
12:03Not long after,
12:04Sophia came out
12:05wearing the white
12:06tulle dress.
12:07It looked a little
12:07tight on her.
12:08The bracelet swung
12:09on her wrist.
12:10She spun around
12:11in the living room
12:12and asked
12:12Do I look pretty?
12:13The three brothers
12:14nodded and praised
12:15her again and again.
12:17Caleb even took out
12:18his phone
12:18and snapped a bunch
12:19of pictures of her.
12:20Then Sophia suddenly
12:22wrapped her arm
12:22around Ethan's
12:23and shook it
12:24like a spoiled child.
12:25Ethan,
12:26since Chloe
12:27can't wear
12:28this dress now,
12:29let's go to the garage
12:30and show her
12:31how it looks on me.
12:33Ethan frowned.
12:34She's still thinking
12:35about what she did.
12:36Why go there now?
12:37Sophia kept whining
12:38and tugging at him.
12:39Come on, please!
12:41We can turn
12:41the live stream
12:42back on too.
12:43Let the viewers decide
12:45who looks prettier in it.
12:48Fine, fine.
12:49Whatever you want.
12:49The garage door
12:50slowly rolled up again.
12:55The harsh white
12:57garage light
12:57snapped back on.
12:58It lit up the crystal
12:59coffin covered in flowers.
13:01Inside,
13:02my body was still
13:03in the twisted position
13:04from when Ethan
13:05had kicked the coffin.
13:06I did not move.
13:06Sophia excitedly
13:08lifted her phone
13:08and started the live stream
13:10again.
13:10Holding up the hem
13:11of the dress,
13:11she bounced over
13:12to the glass coffin
13:13like a proud little peacock.
13:15Chloe, stop sleeping!
13:17Open your eyes
13:18and look!
13:18Ethan gave me
13:19this pure white dress.
13:21Tell me,
13:21do I look pretty in it?
13:23I lay there in silence,
13:24still dead.
13:25When I did not respond,
13:26Sophia pouted at the camera
13:27like she was hurt.
13:29Aw,
13:30my sister still
13:31won't forgive me.
13:33She won't even
13:34look at me.
13:36Ethan stepped forward.
13:37Annoyed,
13:38he knocked on the glass
13:39with his knuckles.
13:42Chloe, stop playing dead.
13:44said, if you get up right now
13:46and apologize to Sophia,
13:48we'll let this whole thing go.
13:49I'll buy you
13:50an even better dress later.
13:52The coffin
13:53stayed terrifyingly quiet,
13:55no breathing,
13:56no movement.
13:57Sophia's eyes
13:58flashed with pride,
13:59but on her face,
14:00she acted generous
14:01and tugged Ethan's sleeve.
14:02If Chloe doesn't want
14:03to talk to us,
14:04just leave her alone.
14:06Ethan looked at
14:06my lifeless body,
14:07the last bit of patience
14:09in his eyes burned out.
14:10Fine!
14:11Since you love lying there so much,
14:13stay in there
14:14and think about what you did!
14:18No one is letting her out tonight.
14:20She can stay in there
14:21until tomorrow morning.
14:22After saying that,
14:24he turned to press
14:24the garage door button.
14:26Ryan and Caleb
14:26shook their heads too.
14:27They turned
14:28and got ready to leave.
14:30But right then,
14:31several comments
14:32suddenly popped up
14:33in the live stream.
14:39Wait,
14:39isn't that Chloe?
14:40The dishwashing girl
14:41from Backstreet?
14:42It's really her.
14:43I used to see her at night.
14:45She was so young,
14:46working all night
14:47with cracked hands.
14:48The comments moved fast.
14:50More and more strangers
14:51joined in,
14:52shocked and confused.
14:53Then,
14:54a longer comment appeared.
14:55She told me
14:56she had finally found
14:57her real brothers.
14:58She said she wanted
14:59to save money
15:00and buy them
15:00the gifts they wanted most.
15:02But,
15:02why are you locking her
15:03in a coffin right now?
15:04The smile on Sophia's face froze.
15:06The garage fell dead silent.
15:08All night?
15:10Washing dishes?
15:11Ethan's voice shook.
15:12All three men
15:13turned at the same time.
15:15They stared hard
15:15at the words on the screen.
15:17Scenes from the past few months
15:18suddenly flashed
15:19through their minds
15:20like a movie.
15:21It had been
15:21the coldest part of winter.
15:23I came home at dawn
15:24almost every day.
15:25Back then,
15:26Sophia had said
15:27with a serious face
15:28that I was probably
15:29out messing around
15:29with some street punks.
15:31Ethan had flown into a rage.
15:33He slapped me hard
15:34across the face.
15:35Then he kicked me
15:35out of the house
15:36and made me kneel
15:37in the snow
15:37for half the night.
15:39No.
15:40She was clearly...
15:41Ryan's voice trembled.
15:43That's impossible.
15:44Sophia panicked.
15:45She quickly tried
15:45to cover the phone screen
15:47and shouted back,
15:48Fake!
15:48It's all fake!
15:50How can you believe
15:51random people online?
15:53She must have hired bots
15:55to make everyone
15:55feel bad for her!
16:00Ethan suddenly roared.
16:02He shoved Sophia
16:03to the ground.
16:04His eyes were bloodshot.
16:05Like a madman,
16:06he rushed toward
16:07the glass coffin.
16:08His whole body shook
16:09as he searched his pockets.
16:11But the key
16:11was not on him.
16:12The key!
16:13Get the key!
16:15He screamed at Ryan.
16:16Ryan scrambled
16:17toward the toolbox
16:18in the corner.
16:19He searched like crazy
16:20for the spare key
16:21he had tossed aside earlier.
16:22Ethan could not wait.
16:24He grabbed a huge
16:24iron hammer from the wall.
16:26Then he lifted it high
16:27and smashed it down hard
16:29on the lock
16:29of the crystal coffin.
16:31The lock was smashed apart.
16:33Ethan yanked open
16:34the heavy crystal coffin lid.
16:36A thick, nauseating
16:37smell of blood
16:38instantly rushed out.
16:39Caleb rushed over
16:40and grabbed my right hand,
16:41which had fallen
16:42over the edge
16:43of the coffin.
16:43The next second,
16:44he let out a scream
16:45that tore through the night.
16:46Stop breathing!
16:49Chloe's been dead
16:50for a long time!
16:52Ethan shoved Caleb aside
16:53and bent down,
16:54lifting my stiff body
16:55out of the coffin.
16:56To the hospital!
16:57Start the car!
16:58The black Maybox
16:59sped through the streets
17:00in the dead of night.
17:01In the back seat,
17:02Caleb held my corpse tightly.
17:04My body was already
17:05as cold as ice.
17:06He took off his jacket
17:07and wrapped it tightly
17:08around me,
17:08rubbing my bloodied,
17:09mangled hands
17:10with all his strength.
17:11Chloe, I was wrong.
17:12Don't scare me like this.
17:14Say something to me, okay?
17:16Caleb's tears fell
17:17in huge drops
17:18onto my face.
17:19His voice shook so badly
17:20it barely sounded human.
17:22Weren't you gonna buy me a gift?
17:24Wake up!
17:25I wants it now!
17:26The Maybox screeched
17:27to a stop
17:27in front of the emergency building.
17:31Doctor!
17:32Save her!
17:36I was pushed
17:37into the emergency room.
17:38In the hallway,
17:39the three men
17:40leaned against the wall
17:41as if all their strength
17:42had been drained away.
17:43Their hands were
17:44covered in my blood.
17:45Sophia stood a few steps away,
17:47clutching the white
17:48tulle dress on her body.
17:49Her eyes flickered nervously.
17:51Half an hour later,
17:52the red light
17:53outside the emergency room
17:54went out.
17:55The doctor pulled off
17:55his mask and walked out.
17:57We couldn't save her.
17:58She had no vital signs
17:59before she arrived.
18:01Ethan rushed forward
18:02and grabbed the doctor
18:03by his white coat.
18:04His eyes were bloodshot.
18:06That's impossible!
18:08I personally drilled air holes
18:10as thick as a finger
18:11in that coffin!
18:13There's no way
18:14she could have suffocated!
18:16The doctor pried
18:16Ethan's hand off him.
18:18His voice was cold
18:19and certain.
18:20All ten of her fingers
18:20were fractured,
18:21likely from her desperate
18:22struggle to escape
18:23while she was suffocating.
18:24She died from severe
18:26mechanical asexiation.
18:27Sophia immediately
18:28stepped forward.
18:29Her voice carried
18:30a trace of urgent panic.
18:31Doctor!
18:32She used to live outside,
18:33wandering around
18:34and suffering in the cold.
18:35Could she have had asthma
18:36or some kind of heart disease?
18:37Doctor frowned
18:38and glanced at her.
18:39Then he slapped
18:40the examination report
18:41onto the metal chair.
18:43Other than severe malnutrition,
18:46she had no underlying illness.
18:48She was suffocated alive.
18:50The hallway fell
18:51into dead silence.
18:52Ethan suddenly turned his head.
18:54He stared hard at Sophia.
18:56Back to the villa.
18:58We're checking that coffin.
19:04When they returned to the garage,
19:06the crystal coffin
19:07was still wide open.
19:08Ethan rushed over
19:09and reached for the air holes
19:11along the edge
19:11of the coffin lid.
19:12His fingers passed
19:13through the holes.
19:14There was no sign
19:15that they had ever been sealed.
19:17Ryan yanked away
19:18the imported roses
19:19lining the bottom of the coffin.
19:21Under the petals,
19:22everything was clean.
19:23There was only
19:23an ordinary,
19:24moisture-proof mat.
19:25No strange objects
19:26that could have
19:27consumed oxygen.
19:28Sophia ran in after them.
19:30When she saw this,
19:31she let out
19:32a long sigh of relief.
19:34Then she dropped
19:34to her knees
19:35with a thud
19:36and burst
19:37into loud sobs.
19:38Ethan!
19:39You all saw it, right?
19:41The air holes were fine!
19:43I only wanted
19:45to play a game
19:45with Chloe
19:46to get closer to her.
19:47She crawled forward
19:48on her knees
19:49and clung tightly
19:50to Ethan's pant leg,
19:51crying so hard
19:52she could barely breathe.
19:54How could I possibly
19:55kill someone?
19:57She deliberately
19:58held her breath
19:59and played dead,
20:00but she didn't
20:01expect it to go wrong!
20:02She hated me
20:04for stealing your love!
20:05She wanted to use
20:07her life to make
20:08all of us
20:08carry the crime
20:09of murder
20:10and go to prison!
20:13She was so cruel!
20:15Faced with
20:16the perfectly intact coffin
20:17and Sophia sobbing
20:19on the floor,
20:19the rage in my brother's eyes
20:21slowly froze.
20:22Then,
20:23it faded away
20:23bit by bit.
20:24Ryan painfully
20:25closed his eyes
20:26and slid down
20:27onto the floor.
20:30Not the coffin.
20:33Then,
20:34Chloe.
20:35Ethan looked
20:36at Sophia's
20:36white tulle dress,
20:38then at the
20:38shattered crystal coffin.
20:40He closed his eyes,
20:41took a breath,
20:42and when he opened
20:42them again,
20:43his businessman's
20:44coldness had returned.
20:45This ends here.
20:46Ryan and Caleb
20:47abruptly looked up
20:48at him.
20:49Ethan clenched his jaw
20:50and gave the order
20:51coldly.
20:52Chloe died suddenly
20:53from a heart attack.
20:54An accident.
20:56If anyone dares
20:56leak a single word
20:57about what happened today,
20:58I'll destroy him.
21:02Early the next morning,
21:04Sophia stood
21:04in the living room
21:05pinching her nose
21:06as she ordered
21:07the servants
21:07to clean out my room.
21:08Hurry up!
21:09Throw away
21:10everything she used!
21:12Keeping it in the house
21:14is so unlucky!
21:15The butler came out
21:16of the cramped storage room
21:17that did not even
21:18have a window.
21:19He was dragging
21:20an old cardboard box
21:21in his hands.
21:22Mr. Ethan,
21:23everything else
21:24has been cleared out.
21:25This box was found
21:26deep under
21:26Miss Chloe's bed.
21:27Ethan sat on the sofa.
21:29After one night,
21:30he looked much more haggard.
21:31He stared hard
21:32at the cardboard box.
21:34Then he reached out
21:35and tore off
21:36the packing tape.
21:37Inside were
21:37several square boxes,
21:39each wrapped
21:40in old newspaper
21:41with a name
21:41scrawled on top.
21:42Ethan's hand trembled
21:44as he picked up
21:44the one marked
21:45Ethan
21:45and tore it open.
21:47Inside was a high-end
21:48neck and shoulder massager.
21:50A wrinkled note
21:51was tucked inside.
21:52Ethan reads documents
21:53every day
21:54and his shoulders
21:55always hurt.
21:56I washed 50,000 plates
21:58to save up for this.
21:59Ethan's hands
22:00shook violently.
22:01The thin note
22:02felt like a blunt knife
22:03cutting into his heart.
22:04He suddenly remembered
22:05a night from last month.
22:07He had gone downstairs
22:07for water
22:08while rubbing
22:09his sore neck.
22:10I had just come home
22:11after washing dishes.
22:12Carefully,
22:13I had gone up to him
22:14and tried to massage
22:15his shoulders,
22:15but he had frowned
22:17and stepped back.
22:18Enough, Chloe.
22:19You come back
22:20so late every day
22:21covered in grease
22:22and smoke.
22:22Go take a shower
22:23and sleep early.
22:24I don't need you
22:24worrying about
22:25this little sore-th.
22:26His tone had been
22:27full of dissatisfaction
22:28and disgust
22:29over me staying out late.
22:31Ethan suddenly
22:32raised his hand
22:33and slapped himself
22:34hard across the face.
22:36He clutched
22:36the massager
22:37tightly in his arms.
22:44Ryan's eyes were red
22:45as he grabbed
22:46the box labeled
22:47Ryan
22:47from the cardboard box.
22:49Inside was a whole bolt
22:51of rare, discontinued fabric.
22:53A note fluttered
22:54to the floor.
22:54I begged the old master
22:56in the heavy rain
22:56for three days
22:57and three nights.
22:59He finally agreed
23:00to start the loom
23:00and weave this fabric.
23:02Ryan,
23:02if you use this cloth,
23:04you'll definitely win
23:05the fashion design award.
23:06Ryan looked as if
23:07he had been struck
23:08by lightning.
23:08His whole body
23:09froze in place.
23:10Last week,
23:11he had thrown
23:11a huge tantrum
23:12in the living room
23:13because he could not
23:14find suitable fabric
23:15for a competition.
23:16I had held
23:17this bolt of cloth
23:18wrapped in layers
23:19and layers
23:19of plastic bags,
23:21wanting to give him
23:21a surprise.
23:22But he had impatiently
23:23pushed my hand away.
23:25Stop making things worse.
23:26This is an international
23:27haute couture competition.
23:28Fabric from a street bull
23:29won't cut it.
23:30Take it away.
23:30Don't dirty my sketches.
23:31Ryan dropped heavily
23:32to his knee.
23:33Chloe!
23:34I was wrong!
23:37I'm such a bastard.
23:38I really deserve to die.
23:40Ryan slammed his head
23:42against the marble table
23:43again and again.
23:44Soon,
23:45his forehead
23:45was bruised and purple.
23:46Sophia stood aside,
23:48watching the brothers
23:49break down.
23:50Jealousy twisted her face.
23:51She stepped forward
23:52and kicked the
23:53wrinkled note away.
23:57They're just some
23:58cheap junk.
23:59Do you really have
23:59to act like this?
24:00Wrapped in old newspaper,
24:02reeking of poverty.
24:03Even dead,
24:04she still left these
24:05behind to disgust us.
24:06The crying stopped.
24:08Caleb slowly raised
24:09his head and glared
24:10at her.
24:12With trembling hands,
24:13he reached into
24:14the cardboard box
24:15and picked up the one
24:16labeled with his name.
24:17On its corner
24:18were several dried,
24:19blackened drops of blood.
24:24Caleb's fingers
24:25trembled slightly.
24:26Very carefully,
24:28he tore open
24:28the outer layer
24:29of old newspaper.
24:31Inside was an exquisite
24:32carbon fiber gift box.
24:34A pair of globally
24:35limited edition
24:36professional racing gloves
24:38lay quietly inside.
24:40Caleb sharply sucked
24:42in a breath.
24:42This was the discontinued pair
24:45he had searched
24:45every overseas channel for
24:47but never managed to buy.
24:49The note had been
24:50folded neatly
24:51and tucked beneath the gloves.
24:52I went to the racing club
24:54Caleb always visits
24:55and washed cars
24:56for the owner
24:56for a whole month.
24:58He finally agreed
24:59to sell me the gloves
25:00at their original price.
25:02Caleb's mind buzzed.
25:03A memory suddenly
25:04swallowed him whole.
25:07Half a month ago,
25:08he had come back
25:09from racing practice
25:10and seen me sweeping
25:11the yard with a limp.
25:12There had been
25:13blood-soaked gauze
25:14wrapped around my forehead.
25:15At the time,
25:16Sophia had covered
25:17her mouth and laughed,
25:19saying I must have
25:20gotten into a fight
25:21with someone
25:21over some street thug
25:23and fallen.
25:23Caleb had frowned
25:24and scolded me coldly.
25:26Chloe,
25:27we don't expect you
25:28to be successful.
25:29But can you stop
25:30causing trouble
25:30outside every day?
25:32You come back
25:33with your head broken
25:33and bleeding
25:34and you even make
25:35Sophia worry about you.
25:36Can't you behave yourself?
25:39Suddenly,
25:40Caleb raised both hands
25:42and slapped himself
25:43hard across the face.
25:46The sharp sound of slaps
25:48echoed through the living room.
25:49I'm a blind animal!
25:52Damn it!
25:53I'm worse than a damn animal!
25:55Blood spilled
25:56from the corner of his mouth.
25:58He pressed the glove
25:59tightly against his face
26:00and cried like a child
26:02who could not find
26:03his way home.
26:06There was one last,
26:08slightly larger box
26:09left in the cardboard carton.
26:11On it was written,
26:12For Sophia.
26:13Sophia froze for a moment.
26:15Disgust flashed in her eyes.
26:17But because the brothers
26:18were there,
26:18she still reached out
26:20and opened the box.
26:21Inside was a string
26:22of smooth,
26:23lustrous pink pearls.
26:25Every pearl
26:26had been polished
26:27to perfection
26:27without a single flaw.
26:29The handwriting on the note
26:30carried a cautious,
26:31almost pleading desire
26:33to please.
26:33I heard Sophia likes pearls.
26:35I dove into the coldest bay
26:37and searched for three days
26:38and three nights
26:39before finally gathering enough
26:41to make this necklace.
26:42I hope Sophia can wear it
26:44and treat me like real family.
26:46When Sophia saw what was inside,
26:47she gave a...
26:49She pinched one end
26:50of the necklace in disgust.
26:52Then,
26:52as if throwing away trash,
26:54she smashed it hard
26:55onto the floor.
26:56Who wants a dead person's things?
26:58So unlucky.
27:00The pearl necklace
27:01struck the marble floor heavily.
27:02With a snap,
27:03it broke apart.
27:04Sophia!
27:07Veins bulged
27:08on Ethan's forehead.
27:09He shot to his feet,
27:10grabbed Sophia by the collar,
27:12and lifted her up.
27:13Say that again,
27:14I dare you.
27:15This was the first time
27:16Ethan had ever
27:17laid a hand on Sophia.
27:18Sophia's face
27:19turned deathly pale.
27:20Ethan,
27:21what are you doing?
27:22No!
27:23No!
27:26You're going to hit me
27:28over a dead person?
27:29Just then,
27:30from the very bottom
27:31of the overturned cardboard box,
27:33several plain little paper packets
27:35suddenly rolled out.
27:39On them were written
27:40the names of the butler,
27:42the nanny,
27:42and the driver.
27:43The butler froze.
27:45With trembling hands,
27:46he picked up the paper packet
27:48with his name on it.
27:49He opened it.
27:49Inside was a thick pair
27:51of pure wool knee pads.
27:53The note read,
27:54thank you for secretly
27:55leaving me a bowl of hot soup
27:56in the kitchen that night.
27:57The weather is cold now.
27:59Please keep your knees warm.
28:00Beside him,
28:01the nanny opened her paper packet.
28:03Inside was a brand new pair
28:05of anti-cracking gloves.
28:06In the driver's packet
28:08was a lumbar support cushion.
28:09Every single one
28:10was a little piece of care
28:11I had saved up for,
28:13coin by coin,
28:14from my part-time wages.
28:15The living room fell
28:16into deathly silence.
28:18Then,
28:18suddenly,
28:19the butler dropped
28:20heavily to his knees.
28:21He clutched the knee pads
28:22tightly in both hands.
28:23Miss Chloe!
28:24I'm such a terrible person!
28:26I wronged you!
28:27I deserve to die!
28:30Immediately after,
28:31the nanny and the driver's
28:32legs gave out too.
28:33They knelt beside the butler.
28:35The three of them
28:36slapped themselves wildly,
28:37their foreheads
28:38knocking against the hard floor
28:39with loud, heavy thuds.
28:41Sophia watched the scene.
28:43Her already pale face
28:44instantly lost
28:45every trace of color.
28:46She took a frightened step back.
28:48Her voice turned sharp
28:49and distorted.
28:50Shut up!
28:51All of you shut up!
28:53Get out!
28:54Get out right now!
28:57Ethan shoved Sophia
28:58down onto the sofa.
28:59Then he turned
29:00and stared hard
29:01at the butler
29:01kneeling on the floor.
29:05Say it!
29:06What the hell did you do?
29:07What the hell did you do?
