Time was tight and the task was urgent. I took out my valuable items and worked until after 8 PM.

My best friend and I went out for a bowl of spicy hot pot. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we saw a video of the electric car fire playing on the big screen. Bella’s face was blurred, but her injuries were visible as the firefighters carried her out.

Not only was the news on TV, but even small reporters and video bloggers were spreading the story. The video also popped up on our phones, including footage of bloggers personally visiting the hospital. Bella’s distressing situation was visible in high definition, making it accessible to everyone.

In the blogger's video, Mrs. Grace cried while telling viewers how pitiful Bella was. She showed photos of Bella when she was healthy, saying, "This is how Bella used to be. She was fine then, but now she’s lost a leg. Only I, an old woman, am here to take care of her. I just hope she suffers less."

Many people left comments asking for her address and contact details.

Unlike in the past, Mrs. Grace now presented herself as a kind and gentle mother-in-law, showing no disdain for her daughter-in-law. In the video, she claimed that her abilities were limited and pleaded with viewers to contribute whatever they could to help Bella.

People online felt very sorry for her situation. As a result, the hospital was crowded with visitors every day.

Money kept flowing in and they had plenty of fruits and various supplements. Mrs. Grace and Bella loved taking advantage of such opportunities. When reporters came by, they welcomed them all, making their situation even more public.

That's fine with me. The more the public praised them, the harder they would fall when the truth came out. A few days later, Carter returned.

My friend and I checked the camera footage at my door. Around eleven or twelve at night, Carter came to my place, banging on the door and threatening me when he heard no response from inside.

He repeated what Mrs. Grace had said, blaming me for Bella's leg and claiming I was fully responsible. He demanded not only medical expenses but also compensation for emotional distress. If I didn’t pay up, he threatened to come and pound on my door every day.

I took this video and saved it for future use. In my past life, after Carter knew I was disabled and home alone, he took advantage of my limited mobility and brazenly followed me into the house. He searched the entire house for valuable items and threatened to reveal the secrets of my bank card.

At that time, he had lost all his money and was in urgent need of cash. But how could my money cover his losses? Carter then set his sights on me. He arranged for different men to come over at night. Although I had become disabled, he still saw some appeal in me and harbored the idea of using me to make money.

He saw that I was unable to move easily and didn't take many precautions, only confiscating my phone. While he was sitting on the sofa talking on the phone, I crawled over and smashed a vase over his head. Taking advantage of his daze, I retrieved the phone he had hidden and called the police.

Finally, Carter was arrested. Mrs. Grace and Bella came to my door and yelled at me from outside, calling me a destructive vixen. In this life, it wasn't me who was disabled but Bella. Mrs. Grace, a rare and devoted mother-in-law, became an internet sensation.

However, none of them knew how to do live streaming. Otherwise, I believed they would have exploited the sympathy of netizens to make money. Many netizens highly praised Mrs. Grace, with some saying that Bella's good fortune in having such a loyal mother-in-law must be the result of past-life merits. Some streamers even interviewed them for live broadcasts.

In the live stream, Bella lay weakly on the hospital bed, looking even worse than I did in my past life. Mrs. Grace intentionally positioned the camera to show Bella’s scars and crippled legs.

“Bella has suffered greatly; her injuries are very severe, but I will never give up on her. Even if I have to sell everything we have, I'll make sure Bella gets treatment. Thank you to our family for their support and help; it's allowing us to get through this difficult time."

Who could withstand her pitiful words? Everyone began sending gifts to the livestream. Mrs. Grace’s smile grew wider and wider. I was curious. Since this account didn’t even belong to Mrs. Grace, why was she so happy? Before I could figure it out, Carter appeared on the live stream camera.

He took the same sympathy approach. “It’s all my fault. I wasn’t there for Bella when she had the accident; otherwise, she wouldn’t be in this state. Our car was parked in the neighborhood and there were many neighbors around, but for some reason, none of them helped. If someone had rescued Bella back then, she wouldn’t be in this condition today! This shows how unpredictable human nature can be. However, I believe there are still kind people in the world like the netizens listening to my story now. It’s your love that has helped Bella hold on until now.”

Oh no, he was trying to shift the blame onto the neighbors.

Forget the situation at that time; even under normal circumstances, few neighbors would have wanted to help. They all just feared getting into trouble for their efforts. I was a glaring example of that in my past life.

Carter spoke endlessly about how our neighbors didn’t help, betraying their indifference and cold-heartedness.

Some netizens, curious, asked for the address and neighborhood. Carter directly revealed the name of our neighborhood, which had now made the properties there difficult to sell. Even Mrs. Grace added to the damage by mentioning my name directly in the live stream.

"There is also a young girl who lives next door to us. Usually, Bella is very likable, but at a critical moment, the girl named Alexa Victor not only didn’t help but even kicked us while we were down. There wasn’t a single person around who offered us any help."

My name had completely gone viral. Some netizens were even scarier, directly putting up the entire neighborhood’s residents on the internet with a striking red text titled: ‘Is this the end of humanity or the decline of morality?’

Whether it was the end of humanity or the decline of morality, I didn't know. What I did know was that they got what they deserved.

I immediately took screenshots of their comments and posted them in the property management group.

This caused a strong reaction and everyone responded enthusiastically.

Some of them posted videos from the day of the incident online, including a video of Mrs. Grace carrying rice and cooking oil down from the tram by herself, completely ignoring Bella who was stuck in the driver's seat.

Some people also posted surveillance videos from in front of their doors.

Carter and Mrs. Grace often stole things from the corridor. The design of having one apartment per floor led many residents to install their own surveillance cameras and there were quite a few videos of them.

It was not just our building, they had wandered all over the neighborhood.

Now, no one dared to leave anything in the corridor, fearing it would be stolen by them. The items weren't even valuable, but no one wanted to bother with them.

Key issues arose when some people had been stolen from multiple times and their tempers flared up. When they saw Carter and the others coming to steal, they confronted them and argued.

Mrs. Grace often lay down on the ground, throwing tantrums and acting like a bully.

Carter even used his mother’s poor health as an excuse to intimidate others, demanding 1500 dollars in compensation from the neighbors.

Over time, no one had been able to do anything about their family.

Some neighbors went even further. They posted videos of Mrs. Grace rolling on the ground online. It was a clear display of her shameless behavior.

I posted a video of Carter threatening me and banging on my door in front of my house.

These videos quickly went viral, putting Mrs. Grace and her family in the spotlight and making them famous for their bad behavior. As a result, they received a lot of criticism and negative comments.

Some netizens left comments saying Mrs. Grace was really stingy. They argued that if she truly cared about her daughter-in-law, she should have dropped everything to help her. They noted that since she was running so fast with the rice and flour, she must be in great health.

Others said that while she couldn’t help her daughter-in-law, she expected the neighbors to risk their lives to save her. They couldn’t understand what she was thinking. They pointed out that helping her was a favor, not an obligation and since her family had a history of stealing and extortion, no one knew if they’d turn around and accuse someone else after being helped. In today’s world, good deeds don’t always get rewarded. People shouldn’t let their sympathy run too wild.

My neighbors and I were seen as victims and cleared of blame. Netizens also expressed their understanding of our actions.
