Tom had been arrested.
He claimed, “I proposed to Serena, but she
turned me down.”
“I took her out every time. I spent a lot of time and money on her, even borrowing to gather the dowry. But then she said she wouldn’t marry me. What was I supposed to think?”
“I lost control for a moment and caused an
accident that led to her death.”
I watched the footage of Tom being interviewed.
It was clear he and Jennifer were in cahoots, concocting this proposal story to cover up the

truth.
Because I was dead, all they needed to do was stand firm in their version of events, believing no one could touch them.
Everyone thought my case was closed, but only I knew that Jennifer was the mastermind
behind it all.
During her second summons, she remained calm and effortlessly answered the police’s
questions.
“I don’t know why Tom’s failed proposal would lead him to plan my sister’s murder.”
“I almost lost my life as well.”
“If I had known Tom was so unstable, I wouldn’t

have let my sister come back.”
Jennifer sobbed dramatically, but
unfortunately, she wasn’t kneeling at my grave.
Once it was confirmed that her daughter was innocent, my mother planned to throw Jennifer another birthday party to restore her
reputation.
“Jennifer, your dad and I are planning to throw you another birthday party. We don’t have enough money right now; could you transfer some from that card?”
My mother looked at her daughter with hopeful anticipation.
“Mom, don’t bother spending money on a party; let’s just have a nice meal together as a family.”

Jennifer’s face stiffened as she pulled my
mother back.
I understood her well.
Once money was in her hands, no one could take it from her unless she willingly let go.
Besides, there wasn’t much left in that card.
“Tomorrow, Matt is coming over to visit, so please prepare well.” I said.
Whenever Jennifer played the darling, they would prioritize her and respect her wishes.
