Alex’s company didn’t issue any clarifications; the PR department remained silent.
Furious, Ann threw a fit at home that very night, threatening to expose Alex for hiring people to harm me.
Alex also lost his temper, yelling that she had no conscience—everything he did was for her, and now she was using it against him?!

Ann smirked strangely, saying she had found the people Alex hired back then.
She blackmailed Alex and our parents: if they didn’t want Alex to go to jail, they had to cater to her like before and give her all the resources.
My father, clutching his chest in anger, scolded her, but she retorted, calling him an "old bastard" for not giving her face on stage earlier.
The term "old bastard" made my father immediately suffer a heart attack.
My mother, crying, and Alex tried to get him to the hospital, but it was too late.
After my father passed, my mother fainted from grief.

Enraged, Alex grabbed an ashtray from the table and smashed it against Ann, who was still making sarcastic remarks.
He knocked out several of her teeth, covering her mouth in blood. She screamed, wrestling with him.
She even threatened to call the police.
In a fit of rage, Alex hit her repeatedly until her brains were spilled.

That very night, Alex was arrested.
The police revealed his hiring of thugs to harm me. Alex confessed everything.
He wanted to see me before the trial to apologize in person, but I refused.
Before his execution, he smiled and said, "I owed my sister a life. Now I’ve repaid it."
Alex’s execution day happened to be one month after my father’s death.
Unable to bear the successive blows, my mother suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, spending the rest of her days in a nursing home.
No one claimed Ann’s body for cremation. Her former fans turned against her, some even wanting to spit on her ashes.
As for me, I smoothly inherited all of my father and Alex’s assets as the Lawrence family heir.
Alex’s share was willed to me entirely before his death.
But I still couldn’t forgive him. I hated him.
What happened to them was karma—they deserved it.
And my dazzling life was just beginning.
(The End)
