But I knew Ethan well enough.
I knew that as long as he had the slightest doubt or concern,he would not hesitate to eliminate it.
Moreover,this time it was related to his career.
Ethan had always been selfish.
He could favor Sophie,but he favored himself even more.
And when it is necessary,he would even abandon Sophie to survive.
This was the man I had loved for so many years.
Only now could I see his true face.
How ridiculous.
Sure enough,the next day,I received the signed divorce paper from Ethan.
Just as I was about to celebrate at home,my phone suddenly started receiving a flood of messages.
My friend sent me links and messages.
"Clarissa,is this you?What on earth is going on?"
I clicked on the link,and Sophie's aggrieved face appeared in the video.
It seemed to be a recording of a live stream.Sophie sobbed,"Sorry,everyone.Something happened today,and I might have to stop live-streaming now."
The redness and swelling on Sophie's face and her disheveled hair immediately her fans protective, comments flooded in asking her what was wrong.
She could only sob:"As you all know,I have claustrophobia."
"My childhood friend is a very famous psychiatrist,and he has always been taking care of me.
But it seems that his wife misunderstood us.Today,when we were having a seeesion,his wife suddenly burst in and started hitting me..."
As she said this,she bowed to the camera."I apologize to his wide.
It's my fault for causing the misunderstanding.I will keep my distance from Dr.Jones in the future."
With that,she ended the live stream with red eyes.
I frowned,and my phone was bombarded again.
My personal information was exposed,and a stream of harassing calls came in.
I didn't hesitate to call the police and waited for them to handle it.
My act of calling the police aggravated Sophie's fans even more,and even many passers-by started insulting me on all the social media platformsI have
But I wasn't in a hurry.I just waited for an opportunity.
Ethan called me.His voice was filled with a hint of pride."Clara,you must have heard about what happened these past few days,right?"
"If you come back to me,I can ask Sophie to clarify things."
I sneered disdainfully and replied,"Don’t bother."
When the incident was getting more and more heated,and Sophie's number of followers evne grew because of this,and as Internet users dug deeper and deeper and discovered that I had a younger sister,I knew my opportunity had come.
That night,I prepared everything and started a live stream.
Countless fans of Sophie flooded in,and the comments were extremely offensive.
But I just calmly took out the necklace and the forensics results,and slowly revealed everything.
"I know that everyone has been increasingly enthusiastic to condemn me these last few days,and you've also discovered that I have a younger sister.But what you don't know is that my sister suffered from severe depression,and my husband,Ethan,was her psychiatrist.My sister's condition improved after she met and adopted a stray dog named Daisy.Daisy accompanied her for many years and became her life.Now,I want to accuse Sophie of brutally killing Daisy and causing Lily's death, although indirectly, but on purpose!"
The livestream exploded with comments.They flooded in rapidly,and some people even began to suspect that it was all a script.
I took out one piece of evidence after another that I had gathered over the past few days.
First,there were the tragic photos of Daisy's body,then the necklace and the forensics results showing the blood on it.
Finally,I played that video.
My hands trembled as I clicked play and silently waited for it to finish.
The comments erupted again,but this time,their contents took a complete turn.
Fighting back tears,I said,"Daisy was taken away by my ex-husband,who was also my little sister's attending psychiatrist,and given to Sophie!And that very night,my sister had a relapse due to Daisy's disappearance and left me forever...I will keep fighting to the end,until justice is done for my sister and Daisy!"
After saying this,I quickly ended the livestream.Calls flooded into again.Looking at Ethan's incoming call,I immediately blocked him.
Sophie was completely finished.Her account was banned,and she was taken away for investigation.Eventually,it was revealed that Sophie didn't actually have claustrophobia at all-she had made the whole thing up.
She was sentenced to five years in prison for the crime of intentional destruction of personal property.
The hospital where Etahn worked was also strongly condemned by the public,who demanded an explanation.He was fired for violating medical ethics and would never be re-employed there.
The next time I saw Ethan,he was nothing like his former self,who had been full of confidence and vitality.
He looked like a stray dog.When he passed by me and stopped beside me,he said,"Miss,have we met somewhere before?"
I was stunned for a moment,looking at his tattered clothes and unkempt appearance,and realized that Ethan had gone completely insane.
I shook my head and spoke indifferently as a stranger,"No,I don't know you."Ethan didn't say anything more but continued walking,mumbling softly to himself as he went,"Daisy,Lily,I'm sorry...I'm sorry,I'm so sorry..."
I paused for a moment,then without hesitation,I walked into the cemetery.
I replaced the withered flowers with fresh ones and placed new cans of snacks beside them.Looking at the photo of Daisy and Lily on the tombstone,I smiled and said,"Lily,Daisy,let's be family again in the next life."
