You Faked Your Deaths to Punish Me?! That’s Illegal, Family! novel Chapter 54

Chapter 7

“Those debt collectors? Actors. That fake billionaire ‘Wyatt Calloway’? Another actor you hired.”

I stepped forward, backing the real Wyatt into a corner.

“You had those people chase me like a damn rat. I was eating out of trash cans.”

“You’d been drugging me with hallucinogens the whole time. That’s why I was so out of it-why I thought those days were from some past life.”

“And when I jumped off that building? That was your plan too, wasn’t it?”

“I didn’t actually die. I was just unconscious.”

“But you hypnotized me. Fed me fake memories. Staged all those scenes of Chloe helping my parents. Made me think I was watching it from

above after I died.”

I pulled a medical report out of my bag.

“I already went to the hospital. Got a full evaluation. It confirmed my memory had been tampered with.”

“And you wanna know how I figured all this out?”

I pulled out a bottle.

A milk bottle.

They were probably worried the drugs would go to waste, so they made sure I’d drink it.

That bottle of milk was the best thing I could find during those days of running from fake debt collectors.

Because of that, I drank every last drop-and I kept the bottle.

I only meant to keep it as a reminder.

But when I went back to the same spot in this timeline, I found it again.

That’s when I knew-I hadn’t been reborn. I hadn’t traveled back in time.

I also had the bottle tested. Sure enough, they found drug residue.

That’s when I finally understood.

Everything I’d seen was part of one massive scam.

Everyone around me was an actor. They played me like a fool.

I wanted to expose them right then and there.

But then I realized something crucial.

If the girl pretending to be my best friend was actually Echo… then where was the real Chloe?

So I kept playing along. Kept investigating.

But I couldn’t find her anywhere.

Then, by accident, I stumbled onto a livestream called “Dress-Up Game.”

That’s when I realized-my entire life was being broadcast.

The stream’s preview said they were going to stage a scene where two best friends would tear each other apart at a wedding.

They wanted to show the world how easily a woman could be manipulated into turning on someone she considered family.

I still remember the comments in that chat.

с

“Women, am I right? Fake friends.”

“Next time they need someone to play Wyatt, sign me up. I’d love to watch two girls fight over me.”

“Two? That’s nothing, bro. Get five, six, seven, eight. Hahaha! They’d be ripping each other’s clothes off.”

“Yeah, and we’d get a free show.”

Those disgusting words cut deep.

But I finally understood their endgame.

So I played along. Let them think their plan was working.

Until the wedding day.

I knew that the moment I walked out in that wedding dress, the person on that stage would be the real Chloe.

After all, they wanted to see real friends turn on each other.

And that was my best chance to get her out.

“Why?” I looked at Wyatt again.

I’d figured out the whole scheme. I’d saved Chloe.

But there was still one thing I didn’t understand.

“Why go through all this trouble? Drugging me, faking those thoughts, bribing my boss for that interview…”

All of this… just to watch me and Chloe destroy each other? To watch me make a complete fool of myself?”
