The next morning, I’d just finished helping ire with her sponge bath when my phone shattered the quiet of the hospital
room.
“Miss Williams, I’m so sorry to inform you that your grandmother passed away this morning at 8:25 AM from a heart attack…“]
The wash basin slipped from my hands and crashed to the floor, the sound cutting through me like ss.[]
After arranging for a nurse to stay with ire, I raced to the care facility.[]
Grandmay still on the bed, her face pale and lifeless.[]
“Grandma…”
“Grandma, please wake up.“[]
But no matter how much I called out to her, she’d never again lift her hand to stroke my hair.[]
Never again hold me close and make meugh when I was sad.[]
The pain hit me like a physical blow, spreading through my entire body.[]
As I bent over her, I noticed something clutched in her fist.]
I gently pried her fingers open, and there it was–a photo of ire,pletely naked.[]
“Who was here?”
“Was it Scarlett?”
The staff all looked down, refusing to meet my eyes.]]
I burst into the security office without a second thought and, just as I suspected, found the deleted footage in the recycle bin.
On the screen, Scarlett stood over my grandmother, spreading photos out in front of her one by one.
“This is your precious little granddaughter! Don’t you recognize her?“[]
“Look how much she loves men, Grandma!“]
“Hey, don’t me me for this. She’s the one who wanted it.“[]
Grandma’s hands shook as she tried to push Scarlett away. “You’re lying! My ire would never do such things!”
“I’m calling the police!“]
Scarlett threw her head back andughed. “Funny, that’s exactly what Grace said too.”
“But ke would rather let your granddaughter die than see me behind bars. Your future grandson inw will always choose
my side.”
“Grace took ten million dors, you know! Your older granddaughter is such a gold digger, isn’t she?“[]
The words hit Grandma like physical blows. She copsed to the floor, clutching her chest and gasping for air, desperately reaching for her heart medication.]]
But the pills scattered across the floor.]]
Scarlett kicked the medication away with her foot and said:” If Grace hadn’t insisted on marrying ke, I would never have had to go after your family.“[]
“If you want to me someone, me Grace. She’s the one trying to climb above her station.“[]
“You go first. I’ll be sending your little granddaughter down to join you real soon.“[]
In the video, Scarlett watched my grandmother slowly die, while I shook uncontrobly, unable to make a sound.
At the end, Scarlett turned to face the camera directly, smiling as she delivered her final message.[]
“Grace, don’t you dare start crying when you see this!“]]
She’d left this footage for me on purpose. This was her sick gift.
Tears streamed down my face as the helplessness crashed over me–the frustration of not being able to reach through that screen and strangle her.[]
I tried to take the surveince files, but the staff stopped me.[]
Their faces were full of pity and fear. “Miss Williams, you can’t win against Scarlett.“[]
“She’s got both Harrison heirs wrapped around her finger.“[]
I didn’t me them for being scared.]]
My phone buzzed. It’s ke.[]
“I heard about your grandmother.“[]
“Grace, what’s done is done. There’s no point dwelling on it now.“]
“What matters is our wedding.“[]
My knuckles went white gripping the phone, my whole body shaking so hard I couldn’t speak.[]
“Where are you? I’ll pick you up. We’re having dinner at the estate tonight.“[]
In ten years, this was the first time I’d been invited to eat at the Harrison family table.]
So this is what it takes to get past the Harrison gates–a body count.[]
Silent tears fell as I choked out my agreement.]

At the Harrison estate, I sat through their interrogation over dinner.]
They grilled me about everything–my family background<b>, </b>education, career ns. No detail was too small.[]
Maybe because of all the drama with ire and Grandma, they didn’t push too hard.[]
And somehow, I passed their test.[]
After dinner, I snuck into ke’s study.[]
I copied every file about the dark web operation and found the original video of ire’s assault.]
And I also nted a listening device under his desk.
This time, both ke and Scarlett were going to pay!
Yet when I was almost out, the study door suddenly opened.[]
