That feeling of sorrow was instantly replaced by a morbid chill.
The video's next scene showed his parents crossing the street. Then, a red car flew out of nowhere and crashed
against his parents. Shane watched in trepidation as his parents jolted backward, landing with a loud thud on the
ground. Blood oozed from glass-shard-cuts all over his parents' bodies.
“No!” he cried out instinctively.
He knew his parents had died in a car crash. However, it was a completely harrowing experience to witness it. He
refused to accept such a reality. The pain constricted his chest, making it impossible for him to breathe.
Still, there was more to watch. Shane took several deep breaths to suppress the aching in his chest before
continuing the video.
The camera panned over to reveal that the red car that crashed into the couple had parked some distance away.
Shortly after, a woman got out of the car. She was holding hands with a little girl in a poofy princess dress.
Shane quickly realized who the woman was. He felt an eerie tingling in his scalp while his hand trembled against the

No.
It can't be! How could my parents' murderer be Yulia?
But... That red car... It's crystal clear evidence! Yulia killed my parents.
And that child she's holding hands with...
Shane locked eyes with the little girl in the video. Judging from her rosy cheeks and delicate features, it wasn't hard
to predict how beautiful this girl would turn out in the future.
He would know because this face was the one he woke up to every day.
Natalie.
She was present when her mother, Yulia, killed my parents... Yet, I married her.
This is absurd. It's preposterous!
How could I have married her? She's the daughter of the woman who murdered my parents!
Fury turned Shane's eyes bloodshot, and his body tremored uncontrollably upon finding out this shocking truth.
“Damn it!” he thundered frustratedly, sweeping everything off his desk.
Outside, Silas had just informed the two departments and was about to escort Shane to the meeting room.
However, he was startled by the commotion coming from Shane's office. He couldn't help but wonder if something
serious happened. Worry surged in his veins as he barged into the office without knocking.
“Mr. Shane...” Silas froze upon seeing a crazed Shane as well as the wreckage in the office. He stuttered, “W-what
happened, Mr. Shane?”
Shane didn't respond. He balled his fists so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
Silas was quick to realize that the man was staring at his computer screen. Curious, he walked over and saw that it
was a video that had just finished playing.
Although he wasn't sure what the video was about, he boldly replayed it to understand why Shane was so livid.
Silas was equally dumbstruck by the contents of the video.
“How... how is this possible?” Silas' jaw dropped in utter disbelief.
I just witnessed Mr. Shane's mother-in-law kill his parents...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Who sent this to you, Mr. Shane?” Silas questioned in a shaky voice.
Shane screwed his eyes shut, stifling the raging emotions inside him. He then put on an emotionless front and
answered, “I don't know.”
“I'll investigate the matter right away.” The assistant locked eyes with him as if determined to resolve things.
Shane nodded solemnly. “Yeah. We have to find the culprit behind this video.”
This video is from over ten years ago. I bet the culprit has a motive for keeping this video a secret until this very
moment.
I don't know for sure, but off the top of my head, they're probably trying to turn me against Natalie.
With this thought in mind, Shane tilted his head lower to disguise his stormy expression. Then, he ordered, “Have
someone run a check on this footage. See if it's been tampered with and whether it's been edited or doctored in
any way.”
The gory video had gotten the better of him earlier. He nearly believed that Natalie's mother was the murderer
behind his parents' death.
Thankfully, Shane had gotten much calmer. He considered that the person behind the video was likely pitting him
against his wife, so there was a possibility that the video had been falsified.
Silas moved swiftly to download a copy of the video before heading off to conduct investigations. Now alone in the
office, Shane slumped against his chair and massaged his temples.
