CreativityTranscript
00:02The day after I was diagnosed with bone cancer, my three brothers unexpectedly took me to Everland Park.
00:06Staring at the pendulum ride, I gritted my teeth in pain and shook my head no.
00:10I tried explaining over and over, but he slapped me across the face.
00:14You've got some nerve, lying right to our faces!
00:17Serena went out of her way to get these tickets a week in advance,
00:20all so you could have a good time on your birthday.
00:22And this is how you repay her?
00:24They dragged me onto the ride anyway.
00:30You're riding every single ride today.
00:34This will knock that lying streak right out of you.
00:38The second the ride shot up, pain tore through my bones, and I couldn't stop shaking.
00:43The pendulum ride, the pirate ship, the drop tower.
00:46They had once been the stuff of my childhood dreams.
00:49Now they had become instruments of torture.
00:51After ride after ride, I was in too much pain to even cry.
00:54He watched me submit and smiled, fully satisfied.
00:57After this roller coaster, we'll celebrate your birthday with the three-tier cake I ordered for you.
01:02But I never got off that roller coaster.
01:11In an instant, I was floating high above the ground.
01:15Far below, I saw the Scarlet Falcon coaster roll into the station.
01:19The restraints released.
01:20The passengers filed out, their faces still flushed with excitement.
01:24A trace of nervousness lingered in their eyes.
01:27Only one frail figure stayed in the innermost seat of the last row, showing no reaction whatsoever.
01:32Her head rested against the safety bar before her.
01:35Her long hair obscured one side of her face, and she sat perfectly still, as though asleep.
01:40I drifted closer as quickly as I could.
01:42When I finally saw her face clearly, I realized that the girl was me.
01:47So, I was already dead.
01:51A sorrow beyond words welled up inside me.
01:54Fate had a cruel sense of humor.
01:56It had chosen my 18th birthday to take my life, just when I had never wanted more desperately to live.
02:01The exit area buzzed with activity.
02:04Beyond the railing, friends and family waited, craning their necks to spot the returning riders.
02:09Among those waiting were my three older brothers, and Serena Hayes, their foster sister.
02:13She scanned the throng of exiting riders, whispering my name under her breath.
02:18Where's my sister?
02:19Why hasn't she gotten off yet?
02:20My oldest brother, Ethan Whitmore, stood behind her, his hands tucked into his pockets.
02:25His earlier composure had faded into visible impatience.
02:28He checked his watch.
02:30The roller coaster had returned to the station 20 minutes earlier, yet I was nowhere to be seen.
02:36She's getting more and more unreal!
02:38His voice rumbled low, sharp with unmasked fury.
02:41Just because it's her birthday, she drags her feet and acts like we owe her something?
02:45My brother, Nathan Whitmore, was always the laid-back one.
02:47He stepped in to diffuse the tension and stick up for me.
02:50Come on, we barely come to Everlight Park.
02:53Chloe probably got carried away having fun.
02:55She's still a kid, after all.
02:56My youngest brother, Ryan Whitmore, lounged against the metal railing by the exit.
03:01His tone was teasing, but a barely perceptible hint of concern showed in his eyes.
03:06She's always dragging her feet.
03:08This is just her usual stunt.
03:13Ugh, we spoiled her rotten.
03:14That's the problem.
03:15Hearing her three brothers' complaints, Serena Hayes turned to them, her expression earnest.
03:21Please don't be so hard on her.
03:24I'm sure she'll get off any second now.
03:26Meanwhile, the roller coaster attendants kept urging me to get off.
03:29Ma'am, the ride's over.
03:30Please wake up and get off.
03:31I didn't stir.
03:34Everlight Park was packed, and since it was a holiday, the wait for nearly every ride was over an hour.
03:40By then, the next group of guests, who'd waited in line for ages, started complaining.
03:45Hey, go crash at home if you're that sleepy!
03:47We spent hundreds of dollars on these tickets.
03:49We want a ride!
03:50Seriously, what's her problem?
03:51Is she hogging the seat on purpose?
03:53Are you going to do something about this or not?
03:54Otherwise, I'm filing a complaint!
03:56It was sweltering, and hours of waiting had frayed everyone's nerves.
04:01The crowd began to grow restless.
04:03I floated over in a panic, desperately trying to explain.
04:07I'm so sorry, everyone.
04:09I didn't mean to hold everyone up.
04:11I'm dead.
04:12I can't move.
04:13But no matter how loudly I shouted, no one seemed to hear me.
04:17In the end, left with no other choice, one of the attendants picked up a radio and reported the situation.
04:22A moment later, a missing person announcement came over the park's PA system and echoed throughout Everlight Park.
04:30Would Chloe Whitmield's family please proceed to the rollercoaster unloading area immediately?
04:35There is an urgent situation, and we require your full cooperation.
04:40The moment my eldest brother heard the announcement, he went rigid.
04:43His expression darkened ominously.
04:45Unbelievable.
04:46She got the whole park paging her!
04:48She's shaming the entire Whitmore name!
04:51Ignoring the other's attempts to stop him, my oldest brother stormed through the crowd and reached the rollercoaster in a
04:56few quick strides.
04:57He fixed a fierce stare on my motionless body, struggling to hold back his rage in front of everyone.
05:03Chloe Whitmore, I think you've grown bold, huh?
05:05I'll count to three.
05:07Three.
05:08Ethan paused deliberately.
05:10I still did not move an inch.
05:12People in the crowd behind us egged him on, some pulling out their phones to record the scene.
05:16Eager onlookers waiting for drama.
05:18After three long seconds of silence, Ethan finally lost his temper, no longer able to contain his boiling anger.
05:24Fine.
05:25Just fine.
05:26I'll teach you a proper lesson today!
05:28He strode forward, grabbed me by the collar, and slapped me hard across the face.
05:32I did not struggle or scream.
05:35My body lurched sideways and slumped limply against the seat.
05:38Ethan clearly had not expected this reaction from me.
05:41No thrashing, no cries of pain, just a lifeless heap, like a tattered ragdoll sprawled across the back row of
05:48the rollercoaster car.
05:49Chloe Whitmore!
05:50You!
05:51Seeing that I still refused to respond, his fingers trembled with rage.
05:56The tourists behind grew more and more impatient, a chorus of jeers and insults filling the air.
06:00Keep pretending!
06:02Go on!
06:03A slap to the face and you're still playing dead?
06:05Chloe Whitmark!
06:06You've really gotten out of hand!
06:09Nathan, Ryan, and Serena Hayes rushed over a moment later.
06:12All three froze the second they laid eyes on me.
06:16Seriously, Chloe?
06:17One ride and you're already out cold?
06:20Come on, quit playing dead!
06:21She reached out to pull me up, but Nathan, who had always doted on me most, yanked her back sharply.
06:26Ethan turned his head away in anger, unable to stand the sight of me.
06:29My spirit hovered beside them as I babbled frantically.
06:31Ethan! Nathan! I'm really dead!
06:35I'm not pretending at all!
06:37Please look at me!
06:40If you'd only look at me, you'd know!
06:44Enough of this disgrace.
06:46Let's get out of here right now.
06:48Gentlemen, please get her off the ride as soon as possible.
06:50You're interfering with the ride's normal operation.
06:55Urged on by the impatient staff,
06:57Ethan grabbed my collar once more and dragged me off the seat.
07:00I remained unresponsive, my body limp as he hauled me along.
07:04By now, dusk had fallen.
07:07After the roller coaster,
07:09they were supposed to take me to the restaurant beneath the castle
07:11for the birthday dinner at Everlight Park I had been looking forward to for so long.
07:15Ethan slung me roughly over his shoulder,
07:17under the curious, scrutinizing stares of the surrounding visitors.
07:20His voice turned icy.
07:22Chloe Whitmore, I'll ask you one last time.
07:24Are you going to walk on your own?
07:27You're 18 now, you ought to know better.
07:29Silence was all he got in reply.
07:31Ethan took a deep breath,
07:33letting go of all the rage he'd been suppressing.
07:35Out of the corner of his eye,
07:37he spotted several carriages of the Woodland Express,
07:39which had already shut down for the night,
07:41standing in a nearby grove.
07:43Without a moment's hesitation,
07:44he marched over with me,
07:46slung over his shoulder,
07:46and tossed me roughly into one empty carriage.
07:49If you refuse to talk,
07:50stay here and reflect on your mistakes.
07:53We won't come get you until you've learned your lesson.
07:57And you can forget about your birthday dinner.
07:59Serena, Nathan, Ryan, let's go.
08:01Beneath the deepening night sky,
08:02Ethan left without a single backward glance.
08:05The Everlight Park birthday celebration meant for me
08:07was hastily repurposed to mark the third anniversary
08:09of Serena's arrival in the Whitmore family.
08:11Inside an upscale private dining room
08:13beside Everlight Castle,
08:15every trace of birthday decor meant for me
08:17had been cleared away,
08:18replaced with moonbell decorations,
08:20Serena's favorite.
08:21Even the three-tier birthday cake
08:23Ethan had specially ordered for me
08:24lay discarded in a corner.
08:26An uncontrollable wave of grief and hurt
08:28welled up inside me,
08:29and I couldn't hold back my tears.
08:31Serena, today marks three years
08:33since you became part of our family.
08:35Does it finally feel like home?
08:36Ethan softened his tone
08:37and fastened the pink diamond necklace
08:39he'd originally bought for me
08:40around her neck himself.
08:42Serena Hayes looked surprised and flattered.
08:44Nathan let out a gentle laugh,
08:46handing her a plate of freshly cut fruit,
08:48his voice warm and indulgent.
08:50There's no need to be surprised, Serena.
08:52You deserve all of this.
08:54You're just as precious to us as she is.
08:56At the mention of me,
08:57faint frowns tugged at Ethan and Ryan's brows.
09:00I let out a bitter laugh.
09:02Treat her the same as me?
09:04Nathan, how can you say that without shame?
09:07I still remembered when Serena Hayes
09:09first moved into our house.
09:10She'd mentioned feeling cold,
09:12and Nathan immediately moved her
09:14into my spacious upstairs bedroom
09:15with a private bathroom,
09:17forcing me to live down in the basement instead.
09:19That alone I could have endured,
09:21but what I could never accept was this.
09:23Serena Hayes struggled to keep up with her classes
09:25after transferring schools
09:26because her grades were far too poor.
09:28Yet my brothers forced me to give up
09:30my advanced classes
09:31and take the same courses as her.
09:33Ryan's reasoning was that we were both girls
09:35publicly associated with the Whitmore family.
09:37If I didn't transfer to her school
09:39and take the same classes,
09:40people would gossip about Serena Hayes at school.
09:43After that,
09:44Serena Hayes always came first in everything,
09:46big or small.
09:48You're the older sister.
09:50You should know better
09:51and let her have her way once in a while.
09:52You've lived a comfortable life
09:53with the Whitmore family for 18 years.
09:55Serena has suffered far more,
09:56so it's only right you give in to her.
09:57Chloe Ford, how can you be so cold and heartless?
09:59Every accusation struck my heart like a hammer.
10:03Fireworks burst continuously outside the window,
10:05dazzling and brilliant.
10:07Hundreds of drones twinkled across the night sky,
10:09their lights spelling out Serena's name.
10:11Serena, my little princess,
10:14welcome to the Whitmore family.
10:16As long as we're here,
10:18we'll never let anyone hurt you
10:20or make you suffer again.
10:22Ethan pulled Serena Hayes tightly into his arms,
10:24his tone impossibly gentle.
10:26Serena Hayes was overcome with emotion.
10:29Suddenly, she thought of something,
10:31pulled out her phone,
10:32opened a folder,
10:32and held it out to Ethan like a treasure.
10:35You've all been so good to me.
10:38I can't keep this from you any longer.
10:45There's actually a reason
10:47Chloe threw such a tantrum today
10:49and was so resistant to coming to Everlight Park.
10:52A compromising video of me and a strange man
10:55appeared on the screen.
10:56It showed obvious signs of AI manipulation.
10:59But rage had burned away their reason.
11:01So the moment my three brothers
11:02finished watching the footage,
11:03they instinctively assumed the woman in it was me.
11:06Chloe Whitmore, you've really outdone yourself
11:08for all the wrong reasons.
11:10Instead of spending your birthday with your family,
11:11you're out fooling around with some random guy?
11:14Nathan, Ryan, mark my words.
11:16From this moment on,
11:18Chloe Whitmore is no longer our sister.
11:20I floated right beside them,
11:22screaming myself hoarse
11:23as I struggled desperately to explain.
11:27No, that's not true at all!
11:29I wasn't secretly dating anyone!
11:32I don't even know that man!
11:34Yet not a single word of mine could reach their ears.
11:36Ethan's chest heaved with unbridled fury.
11:40Disgrace!
11:41She's a total disgrace to the Whitmore name!
11:44Throwing tantrums,
11:45faking her death,
11:47fooling around with men!
11:48Does she intend to drag
11:49our entire family's reputation through the mud?
11:52Nathan and Ryan let out long, weary sighs,
11:55their gazes filled with nothing
11:56but revulsion and disappointment toward me.
11:59After what felt like an eternity,
12:01Ethan's anger faded slightly.
12:02He slowly took a velvet box from his coat
12:05and opened it,
12:06revealing an engraved heirloom locket.
12:08My heart lurched violently.
12:10The pair of matching heirloom lockets
12:12were the only keepsakes our mother had left behind.
12:14My eldest brother and I each had one,
12:16and his was among his most treasured possessions.
12:19He lifted the heirloom locket
12:20and draped it around Serena's neck with his own hands.
12:24Serena Hayes stared at him in utter shock.
12:26Serena,
12:27from now on,
12:28you'll be recognized as a daughter of the Whitmore family.
12:32This heirloom locket is yours now.
12:35I stood frozen,
12:37staring blankly at the scene before me,
12:39too stunned to utter a word for a long while.
12:42The next second,
12:43Ethan pulled out his phone
12:44and dialed the estate manager.
12:46His tone unyielding.
12:47Make the necessary arrangements immediately.
12:50Make the necessary arrangements immediately.
12:52Cut all ties with Chloe Whitthorn.
12:55Remove her from the Whitthorn family trust
12:57and clear her belongings out of the house.
12:58From this day forward,
12:59Chloe is no longer part of the Whitthorn family.
13:02He hung up the phone,
13:03his face utterly calm,
13:04as if he had just wrapped up some trivial errand.
13:07I no longer had any tears left to cry.
13:09I stood rooted to the spot,
13:11gazing at him numbly.
13:13Ethan Whitmore,
13:13my eldest brother,
13:15had always doted on me more than anyone.
13:17Growing up,
13:18he had cared for me as both a brother and a father would.
13:20I still remembered the day
13:22a group of street thugs cornered me in an alley.
13:24Without a second's hesitation,
13:26he charged straight at them.
13:27He was only a middle school student back then.
13:29But he never flinched,
13:31shielding me tightly behind his body.
13:33I didn't sustain a single scratch that day,
13:35yet he spent over a month recovering in the hospital.
13:38The scar left by that fight
13:40still lingered on his forehead to this day.
13:42I had never imagined that his love for me would ever change.
13:45Until Serena Hayes came into our lives.
13:48I quietly looked at the man he had become
13:50and suddenly felt that none of it mattered anymore.
13:52All at once,
13:53shrill emergency sirens blared across the park,
13:55followed by an evacuation announcement
13:57at the moment of his powers.
13:59Attention all guests!
14:01An unexpected incident has occurred within the park.
14:03Please evacuate the Memeses in an orderly fashion immediately
14:07and do not linger!
14:10Panic rippled through the tourists outside the restaurant.
14:14No one knew exactly what had happened,
14:16but a full-scale nighttime evacuation at Everlight Park
14:19could only signal something serious.
14:21The celebration was abruptly interrupted,
14:23leaving Serena Hayes inevitably annoyed.
14:26Suddenly, a series of loud knocks
14:28sounded at the door of the private dining room.
14:30Ethan's brows furrowed,
14:31his voice sharp with impatience.
14:34It must be Chloe.
14:35She's finally done throwing her tantrum
14:37and has come back to play the victim.
14:39She sure knows how to pick her moments.
14:41Ryan nodded,
14:42his tone laced with sarcasm.
14:44Seeing their anger,
14:46Serena Hayes hastily grabbed Ethan's arm
14:48and feigned a soft, soothing tone.
14:50Ethan, Ryan, don't be upset.
14:52She must have realized she was wrong
14:54and come back so she could leave with us.
14:56But when the glass door of the private dining room opened,
14:59I wasn't the one standing outside.
15:01Several uniformed officers were there.
15:03Their expressions grave.
15:05Are you the family of Chloe Whitmore?
15:07Ethan blinked in surprise and nodded,
15:09fresh anger flaring between his brows.
15:11His first thought, without hesitation,
15:14was that I had gotten into yet more trouble.
15:16I'm sorry, but a park employee
15:18found your sister's body
15:19in a Woodland Express carriage
15:20after the ride closed for the night.
15:22We need you to come with us
15:23to identify her
15:24and cooperate with the post-mortem examination.
15:31An autopsy?
15:32Ethan Whitmore froze for a beat,
15:34then let out a hollow laugh.
15:35Don't joke about something like this.
15:36Chloe is perfectly fine.
15:38What body are you even talking about?
15:40Are you actors hired by the park
15:41to play police officers or something?
15:43Despite his dismissive words,
15:44a flicker of barely concealed panic
15:46flashed across his eyes.
15:48Ten minutes later,
15:48the Woodland Express area
15:50had been cordoned off with police tape.
15:52Tourists still exiting the park
15:53craned their necks to peek inside,
15:55only to be shouted away
15:56by officers guarding the crime scene.
15:58The air hung thick with tense dread.
16:00My eldest brother's expression
16:02grew increasingly grave.
16:03Nathan and Ryan followed close behind,
16:06while Serena Hayes brought up the rear,
16:08her expression growing visibly panicked.
16:11Mr. Whitmore, we are not joking with you.
16:13According to the forensic examiner's
16:15initial assessment,
16:16the victim passed away
16:17approximately three hours ago.
16:19She had bone cancer,
16:21and severe stress caused
16:22multiple organ failure,
16:23resulting in an agonizing death.
16:25Ethan Whitmore's mind went blank.
16:26He lurched forward
16:27and snatched the autopsy report
16:29from the coroner's hands on impulse.
16:31Impossible! You're lying!
16:34When did my sister get bone cancer?
16:36How could I not have known?
16:37You must have made a mistake!
16:39He scanned the document hastily,
16:41yelling as he reached out
16:42and roughly pulled back
16:43the white sheet covering my body.
16:45The white beam of a police examination light
16:47fell across my face.
16:49Ethan Whitmore froze completely.
16:51Only then did he see it clearly.
16:53My face was as pale as paper,
16:55drained of all color.
16:56My lips cracked and dry,
16:58my features still twisted
16:59with lingering agony.
17:00During those three hours,
17:02he had carried me over his shoulder
17:03and shoved me into the carriage
17:05as punishment,
17:06yet he had never once noticed
17:07my unnaturally deathly pallor.
17:09He raised a trembling hand
17:10and slowly reached his fingertips
17:12toward my cheek.
17:13A wave of icy cold met his skin.
17:15No trace of warmth left.
17:17Ethan Whitmore recoiled violently,
17:19rooted to the ground in stunned horror.
17:21My second brother,
17:22Nathan Whitmore,
17:23could no longer hold himself back.
17:25He rushed forward
17:26and grabbed me by the shoulders.
17:27Enough of this act, Chloe!
17:28Get up right now!
17:31Don't scare us like this.
17:33Stand up,
17:34and we'll take you home
17:35to celebrate your birthday, okay?
17:37Ryan's eyes welled up with tears.
17:39He reached for my arm,
17:40his voice shaking with rare terror.
17:42Chloe, stop this.
17:44Please, just stop.
17:48Sirs, please calm yourselves.
17:50Do not tamper with the crime scene,
17:51or it will interfere
17:53with the ongoing investigation.
17:55Serena Hayes stood to one side,
17:57clutching the corner of her clothes tightly
17:58as her body trembled slightly.
18:00The lead officer stepped before Ethan Whitmore,
18:02his tone steady yet somber.
18:04Sir, can you now confirm
18:05that the deceased is Ms. Whitmore?
18:07Ethan Whitmore snapped back to reality.
18:09He lunged forward
18:10and seized the police officer by the collar,
18:12his grip so tight
18:13he nearly choked the man.
18:14He screamed in a hoarse, broken voice.
18:16How could my sister be dead?
18:19What do you mean she had bone cancer?
18:22What do you mean she had bone cancer?
18:24Tell me exactly what happened now!
18:26He trembled from head to toe,
18:29his words incoherent,
18:30all traces of his usual composure
18:32and authority gone.
18:33The coroner stepped forward
18:35and pried his hands loose,
18:36his tone cold and accusatory.
18:38You're her brother.
18:41She's had bone cancer for a year.
18:42How could you not know?
18:43The coroner held up
18:44the autopsy report once more,
18:46pointing to the text
18:47as he spoke each word slowly and clearly.
18:49The victim suffered
18:50from advanced stage bone cancer.
18:52The cancer had damaged bones
18:53throughout her body,
18:54leaving them extremely fragile.
18:57Even slight movement
18:58could trigger excruciating pain
19:00or cause a fracture.
19:01In her condition,
19:02intense rides such as roller coasters
19:04and giant pendulum rides
19:05were completely out of the question.
19:06Even light walking
19:07would have left her
19:08in unbearable torment.
19:09You brought her to an amusement park
19:10and forced her to ride
19:11every extreme attraction.
19:12For her,
19:13this was never entertainment.
19:14It was torture.
19:15Ethan Whitmore crumpled to the ground.
19:17The image of me refusing the rides
19:19at the very beginning
19:20flashed through his mind
19:21and he repeated the same words
19:23over and over.
19:23I truly didn't know.
19:24I didn't know,
19:25I swear,
19:25I didn't know.
19:26She never told me she was in pain.
19:28I floated a short distance away,
19:30calmly watching them panic.
19:31My eyes filled with disappointment.
19:34Brother,
19:34it's not that I never told you
19:35how much I hurt.
19:37I did,
19:37yet you brushed me off
19:39every single time.
19:40Take this trip to Everlight Park,
19:42for example.
19:42Before we even left,
19:43I told you my whole body ached
19:45and I could barely move.
19:46You didn't spare me a single glance,
19:48calling me dramatic,
19:49saying I'd be letting
19:50Serena Hayes down
19:51if I refused to come.
19:52Serena Hayes was the only person
19:54you ever saw.
19:55You never saw me at all.
19:56Just then,
19:57a police officer hurried over,
19:59his face grave.
20:00He leaned over
20:01and whispered a few words
20:02to the officer in charge.
20:04Afterward,
20:04he turned to Ethan Whitmore
20:05and the others and spoke.
20:07Sir,
20:08we've retrieved surveillance footage
20:09from the park
20:10related to the deceased.
20:11The officer pulled out a tablet
20:13and pulled up the recordings.
20:14The screen lit up,
20:16displaying a compilation of clips.
20:18The first clip showed
20:19the carousel area.
20:20A staff member roughly
20:21restrained me
20:22and forced me onto
20:23a carousel horse.
20:24The seat was extremely loose
20:25and had clearly been tampered with,
20:27making it look noticeably different
20:29from the surrounding carousel horses.
20:31The ride started
20:32and the carousel spun slowly.
20:34With every rotation,
20:35the seat jolted violently.
20:37My whole body tensed
20:38and my face turned deathly pale,
20:40yet I clenched my lips tightly
20:41and refused to make a sound.
20:43The camera cut to the next scene,
20:45the giant pendulum ride.
20:46The worker fastened
20:47my safety harness carelessly,
20:49failing to secure
20:50the buckle properly.
20:51Once the pendulum rose high
20:53and began swinging wildly,
20:54the harness slipped loose.
20:56Half my body was flung outward,
20:58only to be yanked back hard
20:59by inertia the next second.
21:01My back slammed heavily
21:02against the back of the seat.
21:03A thin streak of blood
21:05trickled from the corner of my mouth.
21:06My eyes began to lose focus,
21:08yet I stubbornly forced myself
21:10to hold on.
21:11Every ride I boarded afterward,
21:12the pirate ship,
21:13the drop tower,
21:14all of them had been sabotaged.
21:16These attractions
21:17I'd once dreamed of riding
21:19had turned into instruments of torture.
21:21Ethan Whitmore stood frozen,
21:22his entire frame trembling.
21:24His hands clenched into tight fists,
21:26nails digging deep into his palms.
21:28Nathan and Ryan's eyes
21:29turned red with shock and remorse,
21:31and neither of them
21:32could say a word.
21:33The footage kept rolling.
21:35Soon, Serena's back came into view.
21:37She stood by the staff lounge door,
21:39slipping a thick stack of cash
21:41into a worker's hand
21:42as the two talked in hushed tones
21:43make her suffer.
21:44I want her dead.
21:46Don't worry.
21:47I'll take care of it.
21:48The video ended,
21:49and a deathly silence
21:51fell over the scene.
21:52Serena Hayes jolted violently,
21:54her face ashen,
21:55stumbling two steps backward.
21:58That's not me at all!
22:00The video's doctored!
22:01Someone's setting me up!
22:04She'd never imagined
22:04the whole exchange
22:05had been captured on camera,
22:06rambling frantically in her defense.
22:09Ethan Whitmore whipped around,
22:10his gaze ice-cold
22:11as he fixed it on her.
22:13He advanced slowly,
22:14each heavy step
22:15weighing like a stone
22:16on Serena's heart.
22:17Not you?
22:18His voice was hoarse,
22:20seething with unbridled rage.
22:22That's you in the video, Serena!
22:24And that's your voice!
22:25Serena, talk!
22:28Why did you pay that employee
22:30and tell them to make sure she died?
22:32Nathan and Ryan closed in on her, too.
22:35Answer me!
22:35Were you the one
22:36who tampered with those rides?
22:38You knew all about her bone cancer
22:40long before this, didn't you?
22:42Is that why you deliberately
22:43planned her birthday
22:44at Everlight Park?
22:45Serena Hayes shook all over
22:47under their interrogation,
22:48yet she refused to confess.
22:50I didn't touch a thing!
22:52Chloe Whitmaster
22:53was already dying of bone cancer.
22:55What does that have to do with me?
22:57She was jealous of me!
22:59Jealous because all of you
23:00doted on me!
23:01She forged this fake footage
23:03to set me up!
23:05She's always been overly sensitive,
23:07unable to stand the slightest pain.
23:09Even if I hadn't done anything,
23:10she wouldn't have lived
23:11much longer anyway!
23:13Ethan Whitmore shook with fury,
23:14raising his hand
23:15to strike her across the face.
23:17Serena Hayes cowered on the spot,
23:18wailing shrilly.
23:20Ethan!
23:21I'm innocent!
23:22You can't accuse me of this
23:23based on one video!
23:25At that moment,
23:26Ethan Whitmore's phone
23:27suddenly rang.
23:28It was the estate manager calling.
23:30He took a deep breath
23:31and answered in a hoarse voice.
23:33What is it?
23:34The estate manager's
23:35hesitant voice
23:36crackled through the line.
23:37Mr. Whitwield,
23:38I've finished what you ordered.
23:39Chloe Whitwield's name
23:40has been removed
23:41from the family trust.
23:42But I've uncovered
23:44something strange
23:45regarding the truth
23:45behind Mr. and Mrs. Whitwield's passing.
23:48Ethan's body stiffened
23:48instantly,
23:49phone clutched tight
23:50in his hand.
23:51What did you say?
23:52His tone trembled
23:53with disbelief.
23:54I floated beside him,
23:56equally stunned.
23:57I had blamed myself
23:58for my parents' deaths
23:59for so long.
24:01Could there really have been
24:01something suspicious
24:02about their accident?
24:04The police left
24:04their contact information,
24:06instructing them
24:07to cooperate
24:07with further investigations,
24:09then removed
24:09the crime scene tape.
24:11Ethan lifted my lifeless body
24:12into his arms
24:13and walked away
24:14with heavy footsteps,
24:15Nathan and Ryan
24:16trailing behind him,
24:17their faces heavy with grief.
24:19Twenty minutes later,
24:20we arrived at the
24:21Whitmore Estate's
24:22living room.
24:22The estate manager
24:23hurried in holding a folder,
24:25bowing and presenting
24:26it to Ethan.
24:27Mr. Whitfield,
24:28this is the insurance
24:29repair record for Mr.
24:29and Mrs. Whitwield's car
24:30from that year.
24:33After careful review,
24:34I found several
24:35suspicious details.
24:36Ethan took the folder,
24:37his fingers shaking
24:38as he slowly flipped it open.
24:40Memories crashed over him
24:41in waves.
24:42Late autumn last year,
24:43my parents had driven me
24:45to school.
24:45On their way back,
24:47the car's brakes failed
24:48without warning,
24:49hurtling off an overpass.
24:50The car was destroyed,
24:52and even their remains
24:53were barely identifiable.
24:55From that day forward,
24:56my three brothers
24:57had resented me deeply.
24:58They claimed my parents
24:59would still be alive
25:00if they hadn't dropped me off.
25:02I had no way
25:03to defend myself,
25:03and for the longest time,
25:05I believed their deaths
25:06were all my fault.
25:07Countless nights,
25:09I drowned in self-blame,
25:11suffocating under
25:11the weight of guilt.
25:13Ethan scanned
25:13the repair documents
25:14line by line,
25:15his frown deepening
25:16with every word.
25:17Suddenly,
25:18he snapped his head up,
25:19voice cold and trembling.
25:21Someone tampered
25:22with the brake pads?
25:23The estate manager
25:24nodded slowly,
25:25his tone somber.
25:27Yes,
25:28the wear patterns
25:29recorded in the repair report
25:30were not caused
25:31by natural deterioration.
25:32They showed clear signs
25:33of deliberate damage.
25:35My breath caught,
25:36icy dread
25:36washing over
25:37my ghostly form.
25:38My parents' deaths
25:39had never been an accident.
25:41Nathan stepped forward
25:42to glance over the documents,
25:43his face draining
25:44of all color
25:44in an instant.
25:46Ryan leaned in too,
25:47then locked eyes
25:48with Nathan
25:48in utter shock
25:49after reading
25:49through the papers.
25:50Before they could speak,
25:52the estate manager
25:52pulled out an envelope
25:53and handed it over.
25:55Mr. Whitfield,
25:56there is another set
25:56of documents
25:57Robert Whitfield left behind.
25:59This concerns
26:00the company's equity
26:00re-suxuring
26:01five years ago.
26:02Ethan tore open
26:03the envelope
26:03and scanned
26:04its contents quickly.
26:05The letter
26:06laid it all plain.
26:07Five years prior,
26:08a senior former executive,
26:10Richard Hayes,
26:10had accepted
26:11kickbacks in secret.
26:12Father had filed
26:13a formal report
26:14against him
26:14and he was fired
26:15on the spot.
26:16Ethan Whitmore
26:17spun around
26:17and stared at Serena Hayes.
26:19His stare
26:20made her skin crawl
26:20and she hurriedly
26:22waved her hands
26:22as she tried
26:23to explain.
26:24Ignoring her,
26:25the estate manager
26:26stepped forward
26:26and continued,
26:27Mr. Whitford,
26:29records confirm
26:31that Richard Hayes
26:32is Serena's
26:33distant uncle.
26:34The words hit everyone
26:35like a thunderclap
26:35echoing through
26:36the living room.
26:37The three brothers
26:38turned as one,
26:39fixing unblinking,
26:40furious stares
26:41on Serena Hayes.
26:42She stumbled backward,
26:44hot tears
26:44spilling down her cheeks.
26:45It really wasn't me!
26:47I never knew anything
26:49about what my relative
26:50had done.
26:54It's Chloe Whitmore!
26:55She must have forged
26:56these documents
26:56before she died
26:57to frame me!
26:58Ethan's face
26:59turned livid.
27:00His fists clenched tight,
27:01tone frigid.
27:03Even now,
27:04you still dare
27:05to lie through your teeth?
27:06Just then,
27:07the estate manager
27:08handed over
27:08a third item,
27:09a tablet.
27:10Mr. Whitfield,
27:11this contains
27:12surveillance footage
27:12from a car dealership's
27:14service center
27:14along with
27:15the transaction records.
27:16Ethan opened the video,
27:17the footage crystal clear.
27:19It showed Serena Hayes
27:20wearing a white dress,
27:21walking into the repair shop,
27:23clutching my parents' car keys.
27:25The transaction records
27:26showed that she had
27:26brought the car in
27:27for repairs
27:28under my parents' names.
27:29That was just three days
27:30before the fatal crash.
27:32Serena Hayes kept wailing
27:33and pleading her innocence,
27:34her words tumbling out
27:35incoherently.
27:37Ethan Whitmore's face
27:38was dark with rage,
27:39not a trace of his
27:40former fondness
27:40left in his eyes.
27:42He had no patience
27:43left to listen
27:43and waved a hand sharply.
27:45Mr. Hale,
27:46lock her up
27:47and place her
27:47under strict guard.
27:49Dig up every last detail
27:50of this within three days.
27:51Leave nothing out.
27:52The estate manager
27:53stepped forward
27:54and signaled for the
27:55household staff
27:55to seize Serena Hayes
27:57by the arms.
27:58She thrashed wildly,
27:59screaming at agony.
28:00I truly didn't do it!
28:02Just trust me!
28:04What?
28:04Ethan turned his back
28:05without a glance,
28:06his voice cold as ice.
28:07Shut up.
28:09Until we get to the bottom
28:10of this,
28:10I don't want to hear
28:11another word from you.
28:12Serena Hayes
28:13was dragged away,
28:14leaving the living room
28:15shrouded in oppressive
28:16silence once more.
28:17Moments later,
28:18Nathan's phone rang.
28:19He answered,
28:21listened for a few seconds,
28:22and his expression
28:23soured instantly.
28:24Mr. Nathan Whitherm,
28:25it's terrible news.
28:26Word that Miss Chloe
28:28was struck from
28:29the Whitherm Family Trust
28:30has leaked online.
