Chapter 6
The restored video on the memory card captured a conversation between Peter and an unknown woman
The Woman: “Why isn’t Vivian Murphy dead yet? Didn’t the drug you gave her work?
Peter: “How could it not work? She’s already started having random nosebleeds. I’m guessing it won’t be long before she kicks the bucket.“]
The Woman: “Ugh, I can’t wait any longer. If that woman doesn’t die soon, I’m going to hide our daughter, and you’ll never see her again! I can’t stand It, hearing Vivian’s daughter call you dad every day, when Kamila is your real daughter.”
Peter: “Don’t do that, darling. We’ve been planning this for so many years, all for this moment. Once Vivian is dead, no one will know that Vanessa isn’t my biological daughter. Then, the Murphy family’s fortune will be ours.”
The Woman: “Fine, but hurry up. If it doesn’t work, just up the dosage, or have someone run her over. What’s the difference?”
Peter: “Let’s wait a bit longer. Vanessa will be a problem in the future, too. If this drug can get rid of Vivian smoothly, we can use the same method to deal with that little brat Vanessa.”
“If Vivian isn’t dead by this Christmas, I’ll tamper with her car and send her to hell sooner.”
The Woman: “You better keep your word. It’s a good thing Kamila doesn’t know about this; otherwise, she’d be furious with you.”
“And Kamila isn’t getting along with her classmates. How about transferring her to a better school? You know how she is; I’m worried she’ll be bullied.“[]
Peter: “Alright, but you’ll have to tell Kamila in advance. We can’t let anyone know about my relationship with her, or the teachers might treat her differently.”

It felt like an eternity before I could process what I had just watched
I had imagined many things, but I never thought Peter, who I saw as a father, had a secret family. I also never imagined he was involved in my mother’s death, the woman he lived with for so many years.
No wonder my mom’s health had been declining before the car accident, with no clear diagnosis.
And the accident did happen right after Christmas’s, just as Peter had planned when he could no longer wait.]
All these years, I had unknowingly been treating my mother’s murderer as my closest family.
Even the money he used to support his secret family came from me.]
The thought made me want to slap myself:[]
I realized that Officer Martin had likely uncovered the truth and, knowing my handle the situation directly, choosing instead to give me the memory card.

The fact that Peter had a secret family and an illegitimate daughter was already an injustice to my mother.
But then, his illegitimate daughter came to insult and slander me, even launching a smear campaign online.
I thought I could resolve all that through legal means.[]
But now, knowing that Peter was responsible for my mother’s death, I had to make sure this scumbag paid for his crimest
And that self–righteous so–called heiress, his illegitimate daughter, would pay tool
The real mistress was Kamila’s mother, not mel
