Chapter 2

In the live broadcast room, insults like "maniacal killer" were floating around.

I laughed even harder, clutching my stomach until tears came out.

Soon, I was arrested by the police.

In the interrogation room, the officer yelled at me, "Two dead and one injured at the Lewis Villa. Chloe is permanently disabled!

"What is your goal? Speak!"

I smiled and said, "Not two dead and one injured, but three dead and one injured.

"Chloe had a three-year-old son who I was supposed to take to kindergarten. Guess where he is?"

The officer stood up in a rage. "You didn't even spare a child! How dare you!"

I said, "Sorry, I got it wrong. The little guy is still alive.

"It's just that... I forgot where I put him.

"If you agree to my conditions, maybe I can remember some clues."

The officer suppressed his anger. "What conditions do you want?"

I chuckled and said, "I want the entire interrogation to be live-streamed, so everyone can participate in this trial!"

To save the missing boy, the police had to agree to my request.

Soon, the window outside the interrogation room was filled with cameras.

Various live streaming platforms and even TV stations began broadcasting my interrogation.

A group of hosts angrily questioned me.

"Why did you kill the kind Lewis couple?"

"Layla Clark, are you mentally ill or just born evil?"

"You even broadcast a murder live. Are you mentally twisted?"

...

Their words were sharp and piercing. Instead of getting angry, I was extremely excited!

Three years ago, the Lewis couple spent a lot to suppress the public outcry. Now, it was finally coming to light amidst the public outrage!

I had waited for this moment for three whole years!

After a long time, I calmed my excitement and slowly began to recount what happened back then.

Three years ago, I was admitted to a prestigious provincial university on a full scholarship due to my excellent grades.

After the Scholastic Assessment Test, Chloe and I, who were good friends from the same class, worked part-time at a nearby KTV.

I helped in the kitchen by moving beer and cutting fruit, while she worked as a waitress.

At that time, Chloe was my best friend, and we were almost inseparable.

As I said this, the live stream chat was already filled with curses.

The audience cursed me as insane, not only for harming Chloe but also for hurting her parents!

Various curses wishing me dead almost filled the entire screen.

They were right. I should have died long ago.

The night my parents committed suicide three years ago, I had already died.

The Layla who lives now is an evil ghost wandering the world, with the sole purpose of dragging the Lewis family to hell with me!

I ignored the insulting comments and continued my calm narration.

One night, my dad came to pick me up from work as usual on his electric scooter.

He saw Chloe being dragged to a corner by seven or eight men in the alley behind the KTV. Her clothes torn and scattered.

When my dad saw her, she was already semi-conscious from the assault, rolling her eyes, about to pass out.

My dad shouted, "Stop!" and rushed in to save her.

The seven or eight drunk men took metal baseball bats from the trunk of a luxury car nearby and surrounded my dad, beating him up!
