Chapter 3

Emma clearly hadn't expected the pregnant woman's family members to come up the stairs. Before she could react, the pregnant woman's husband grabbed her by the hair and dragged her to the hallway that still had bloodstains from his wife.

Emma screamed in agony.

"You witch! You think being an internet celebrity makes you special? You killed my wife and son, so today I'm sending you straight to hell!

"My whole family was finally blessed with a child, and you destroyed everything! Why didn't you die instead? You're a piece of trash!"

The other family members helped drag Emma around, hitting and kicking at her. They made so much noise that neighbors from nearby floors came out to watch.

Emma had always acted superior to everyone, so all the neighbors hated her. When they heard she had killed someone, seeing her get beaten made them cheer.

"This little witch always acted like she was so high and mighty. She totally deserves this!"

"In the six months since she moved in, how many of our food deliveries did she steal? Now they finally caught her!"

"The poor woman was seven months pregnant and about to give birth. Both mother and child are now gone. It's such a tragedy!"

"These internet celebrities really think having a little more money makes them so important!"

Emma got beaten black and blue. All she could do was keep shouting that she wasn't the one who killed anyone. "It wasn't me! I'm just the sister of an internet celebrity!"

During a brief pause in the beating, Emma pulled out her ID and her expired preschool teacher ID. Then she opened up the verified account page of my social media profile.

"Sir, the popular internet celebrity you're looking for is Anna Anderson. I'm her twin sister, Emma, and I'm just a preschool teacher. Your dispute has nothing to do with me!"

The pregnant woman's husband took the phone to look at my livestreams. He compared yesterday's outfit of the person who pushed his wife to what I wore in my videos. They were identical, so he temporarily let her go.

However, the man was still staring at Emma suspiciously. Seeing this, Emma immediately scrambled to her feet to call me. "Let me call the real culprit over here for you."

After saying that, she gave me a call. Her face flashed with irritation when I didn't answer, and she muttered curses about me dropping the ball at such a crucial moment.

I found it amusing. Just how vicious could Emma be? She was losing her mind, trying to make me die in her place.

Watching her frantic appearance, I finally walked out. Looking at Emma's bruised and swollen face, I pretended to be shocked and concerned.

"What happened here? Emma, who did you offend?"

Emma didn't answer as she glared at me, her eyes full of resentment. "Anna, I heard you stole someone's food delivery yesterday and killed our next-door neighbor. This gentleman came looking for you. That's two lives lost! How could you be so heartless?

"Why are you wearing a face mask? You're feeling guilty, aren't you?"

When the pregnant woman's husband heard I was the killer, his eyes turned bloodshot as he raised his knife to strike me. "So you're the murderer! Today I'm making you pay with your life!"

Fortunately, I had been staying alert. When the man swung his knife down, I dodged to the side.

I looked confused as I asked, "Sir, what are you talking about? I'm just an online seller. I've been in Calford this whole week, selecting products. I think you've got the wrong person."

The pregnant woman's husband thought I was trying to make excuses and cursed at me. "You lying bitch! Still denying the truth, even at death's door?

"I have surveillance video of you killing her, bragging about being some big internet celebrity, Anna Anderson! If it's not you, then who is it?"

Emma chimed in from the side, "Anna, if you did something wrong, just admit it. You know what they say. It's never too late to do the right thing."

Just when everyone was certain that I was the killer, I looked at Emma, who was secretly gloating nearby, and asked, "Emma, what are you talking about? You're the one who's always lived in this apartment. What does anything that happened here have to do with me?"

The moment I finished speaking, everyone at the scene turned to look at Emma.

Emma noticed how I wasn't panicking at all and had directly called her out. A flash of disbelief flickered in her eyes.

She had always seen me as someone she could easily manipulate. Seeing me suddenly stand up for myself clearly caught her off guard.

Her eyes immediately turned red as she accused me tearfully. "Anna, how can you slander me like that? I'm your twin sister, and I'm absolutely certain that the person in that video is you.

"We're twins! You deliberately wore a mask today and tricked me into coming here. You're obviously feeling guilty and don't dare show your face, trying to make everyone think I'm the killer!"

The people who had been somewhat suspicious of Emma now all turned against me.

"My God, this influencer lady has no conscience at all. She's actually framing her own sister."

"It's definitely her. She should be arrested and locked up for life!"

The pregnant woman's husband seemed to remember something. He scrolled through his phone, then held it up in front of me.

It was a recorded video call between Emma and the pregnant woman's husband. In the video, she was wearing elaborate makeup and the exact same outfit I had on now.

Emma had brazenly shouted, "Your wife and son died because your family's cursed. They deserved to die, so what does that have to do with me?

"You want to call the cops? That's hilarious! The PR team and lawyers I pay good money for aren't sitting around doing nothing.

"As long as I play the victim online, you'll be the one going to jail! You pathetic loser! Money talks in this world!"

The pregnant woman's husband also showed proof that the phone number was registered under my name.

"I checked this phone number, and it belongs to you, Anna. In the video, you're even wearing the same clothes as now. You can't deny this any longer."

The pregnant woman's mother-in-law grabbed the paint she was holding and splashed it all over me, spitting at me in fury. "You evil witch! My daughter-in-law and grandson will haunt you forever!"

The scene became intense. Combined with the phone video and hallway surveillance footage, the people around me hated me even more.

"She’s a piece of trash! People like her don’t deserve to live!"

"She's so arrogant just because she's somewhat loaded. She has no regard for human life. These influencers are so disgusting."

"Who knows how she got her money? She’s probably hooking up with her top donors."

Now that Emma saw that everyone was attacking me, she glanced at me provocatively, looking very pleased. Still, her eyes also held a hint of disappointment that I hadn't immediately died according to her plan.

Just then, my boyfriend, Noah, came upstairs. He chose to ignore me, who was covered in paint, and walked straight over to Emma's side.

Noah looked at me with disgust and said, "Anna, what have you done now? I always told you not to go too far, but you never listened. Now look what happened!"

Then he looked at the pregnant woman's husband and said something even more shocking, "Sir, my girlfriend Anna can be reckless and aggressive. Whatever she did, I apologize on her behalf."

His words pushed me to the edge once again, telling everyone that I had always been problematic. Meanwhile, Emma's eyes lit up the moment she saw Noah. She immediately started putting on a pitiful act.

"Noah, Anna killed this man's pregnant wife and baby. When he came here for justice, she tried to pin it all on me!"

Hearing Emma's delicate, choked voice, Noah immediately pulled her into a protective embrace. He looked at me with helplessness and disappointment.

"Anna, I always thought you were just spoiled and overbearing, but I never imagined you'd be bold enough to kill someone. This has gone way too far."

Watching the two of them work together, I felt disgusted to my core. Noah, who claimed to love me, had actually hooked up with my own sister and joined forces with her to scheme against me. What a perfect pair of scumbags!

Seeing that even my boyfriend was condemning me, the pregnant woman's husband was now certain that I was definitely the killer.

"What a stubborn witch! Even your boyfriend is confirming your guilt. My wife and son are dead, so you shouldn't get to live either!"

With that, he prepared to strike me with his knife, but I suddenly dropped to my knees and grabbed tightly onto his hand holding the weapon.

I ripped the mask off my face.

The moment everyone saw my face, they all gasped in shock.
