Chapter5 The second those words left my lips , Jacobs parents flinched ever so slightly .
The guilt , the shock it was there , just for a moment .
The audience , meanwhile , gasped in confusion .
Jacob swallowed hard but forced himself to glare at me with feigned confidence , Emily , enough of this nonsense ! First , you kill Ethan .
Then , you complain about me being adopted .
And now , youre accusing us of wanting you dead ? How far are you willing to go to push away 1/9 Chapter5 + 5 Points everyone whos ever cared about you ? Margaret , ever the devoted mother in law , looked at me with wounded sincerity , Emily , weve all seen how much we cared for you over the years .
Even the smallest thing like a sneeze- would have me worrying for hours .
How could we ever wish harm upon you ? Their deception was almost admirable .
I pulled out a life insurance policy .
Then whats this ? You even took out a massive insurance policy on my life .
2/9 Chapter 5 + 5 Points And you dare say you werent waiting for me to die ? At the sight of the document , their expressions changed instantly .
George was the first to recover , his face full of innocent confusion , We saw other parents buying life insurance for their kids and thought it was a responsible thing to do .
So we got you one too .
How is that a crime? We just wanted to do something for you .
Margaret nodded frantically .
Yes , exactly ! Were old , we dont understand these things .
3/9 Chapter 5 + 5 Points Is it wrong to want to protect you ? Their acting was impeccable .
The crowd , ever fickle , started turning on me again .
Shes just paranoid .
No gratitude at all .
Buying life insurance is normal ! Why is she making it sound so sinister ? Shes ungrateful , trying to twist everything .
The live chat flooded with accusations .
I smiled and pulled out another stack of documents .
Sure .
One insurance policy is reasonable .
But what about these ? I spread them out multiple life insurance 4/9 Chapter5 + 5 Points policies , all with exorbitant payouts .
And guess who the beneficiaries are ? You three .
Silence .
One policy could be justified as concern .
But this ? This was premeditated .
Everyone knew about murder for insurance scams .
The crowds murmurs died down .
The livestream chat was buzzing , with viewers commenting on how the situation .
was getting more and more complicated .
Before his parents could even speak , Jacob rushed to explain : My parents are old .
They dont understand 5/9 Chapter5 + 5 Points these things .
They just wanted to do everything they could for your benefit .
When they heard that buying insurance was a way to protect family , they went ahead and got you every possible policy , thinking that more insurance meant more security for you .
As for the beneficiaries and all that ? They had no clue .
Come on , who didnt grow up with parents whod cook your favorite dish every day just because you once said you liked it ? Theyre old now .
They just want to do what they can , in the only way they know how , to show their care .
And if even this can be twisted and vilified , then Emily , you dont deserve anyones 6/9 Chapter 5 + 5 Points kindness .
Jacobs heartfelt words struck a chord with the onlookers .
Many of those who had been wavering just moments ago now looked at him with admiration , nodding in agreement .
The livestream chat was flooded with messages : Hes right .

They just wanted to do something good for her .
My grandpa is the same .
