My Brother Faked His Death to Trick Me Into Paying Off His Debts
Chapter 4
Just arrived at the door, and I met Ester, the neighbor next door.
Ester was quite old, probably scared by what happened in our house. She was dragging a suitcase and seemed to be going to stay at her daughter's house temporarily.
When she saw me, she hurriedly pulled me and said, "Emilia, why did you just come back? Your house was vandalized. We reported it to the police, but your mom said she knows the person and they settled it privately, so the police left."
"Emilia, you should persuade your parents. Although Finn's behavior is embarrassing, using violence to collect debts is illegal. The police can help you."
"I'm getting old. I don't have the energy to live next to your house in fear."
I apologized and thanked Ester as I watched her leave.
Of course, my mom didn't dare to call the police. They were all afraid that Finn's fake death would be exposed!
But it's good that Ester left, so as not to harm the innocent.
As soon as I went upstairs, I saw my dad wiping the wall with sweat all over his head.
There were some words written on the wall with red paint, but now it's smudged.
No wonder Ester knew about Finn's debt.
My dad saw me coming back, snorted angrily, and threw the rag heavily against the wall, cursing.
"You know you should come back, you might as well stay in the hospital."
I glanced at the rag on the ground and thought to myself, I was already living in the hospital.
The second year after buying this house, my mom urged me to move to the hospital dormitory because it was close.
Actually, I knew very well that she just thought it was inconvenient for Finn if I stayed at home.
Out of gratitude for raising me for so many years, I didn't care that much.
Even though I lived in the dormitory, I still shared the mortgage.
But all of that is from a past life, the gratitude for raising me has also been repaid to them in the past life.
My mom heard my dad's voice and ran out of the house to pull me inside.
"You see what has become of this place? Can anyone still live here?"
"If you had come back earlier and stopped them, our house wouldn't have been smashed like this."
I looked around and saw that our house was in a mess. The valuable appliances were gone, and the walls were splashed with red paint.
"Owe a debt, repay hands."
I had already seen how ruthless these people were, so I wasn't surprised by this small scene.
I walked around the entrances of the three rooms, and my parents' room was completely ransacked.
They must have taken away anything valuable, which is why my mom was so angry.
When I reached Finn's door, it was tightly closed.
I was about to press the doorknob when my mom nervously grabbed me and said, "What are you doing?"
I looked at my mom in surprise, making her feel uncomfortable.
"I just wanted to see what Finn's room looks like."
But my mom didn't let go and stopped me outside.
"Don't go in, we brought Finn's ashes back, it will scare you."
I instantly teared up, "Mom, what are you saying? He is my brother, no matter what he looks like, he is still the closest person to me, how could I be scared?"
At this time, my dad also walked over and pulled me aside.
"Finn is spending his first death night tonight, and you are a girl, don't bring bad luck."
Seeing their desperate attempts to stop me, I almost confirmed that Finn was inside. But he should be in human form, not ashes.
It must have been the same in my previous life. They knew that I was taken away by the creditor and brought Finn back home directly.
Was it safe to hide outside instead of inside the house?
"You go to the hotel tonight, I'll find someone to clean up."
"No."
My parents refused directly with one voice.
Then, under my suspicious gaze, my mom forced a smile and explained, "Why do you spend money? Your dad and I will tidy up the house. You, you can buy the TV and stuff with your own money."
She had always been so impolite to me.
I nodded and smiled, "Then I'll tidy up my room and stay with you for a few days."
"No, you don't need to accompany us. You can't stay at home like this. You should go back to the hospital first. Your hospital is also very busy. After your dad and I arrange the funeral, we will let you know when to come back."
"But you..."
Seeing me hesitate, my mom pushed me out.
"Go quickly, your dad and I will call you if there's anything."
I sighed helplessly, "Okay, take care of yourselves."
My mom nodded and pushed me out of the door.
When I closed the door, she called me again.
"Um, Emilia, come back tomorrow night and send off Finn."
"Okay."
It seemed that she still wanted to use the same trick because she emphasized that I would come back tomorrow night.
That was right, only when I was taken away, those people would not come to our house again, and Finn would be safe.
Looking at the closed door, I took a deep breath.
You guys are dreaming!
I drove to the nearby internet cafe, downloaded an app with a hidden phone number, and sent a message to that familiar number.
[Come quickly to the old house, Finn is preparing to run away in 2 hours.]
After leaving the internet cafe, I returned to the downstairs of the residential area.
This time, I wanted to witness Finn's fate myself.
