Jamie seemed to be the only one capable of acquiring it. Jamie must have captured the video, edited it, and intended to present it to his father in order to emotionally manipulate him.

Shortly afterward, Callie succumbed to a serious illness and fell unconscious. Once again, that woman appeared at the hospital, claiming that a compatible kidney donor had been found for Callie. Not only did she promise financial help, but she also arranged for Callie to undergo surgery.

«At first I hesitated, dealing with the weight of Callie's coma and my growing panic. When the woman returned, temptation clouded my judgment, and I succumbed and agreed to her terms. However, upon hearing my agreement, her demands changed.

Brett paused before continuing, his voice heavy with the gravity of his revelation. “Your request shook me to the core. You demanded that I force Mr. Lawrence to take his own life, making him a sacrificial pawn in your twisted plan. “I could not contemplate such a thought.”

«Mr. Lawrence had shown me kindness and supported my family. To do such an act would strip me of my humanity. Yet that night, Callie teetered on the brink of death. "I was given a grim prognosis that plunged me into a state of deep disorientation..."

Brett was still in pain as he recounted his memories. His daughter's critical condition had left him reeling. Looking back, Callie's deterioration seemed abnormally rapid, especially after the woman's intervention. It had to be her doing.

But at that moment, Brett's despair to save his daughter overshadowed everything else. "I gave in to the woman's demand. During the layoff meeting, while everyone was congregating downstairs, I snuck into Mr. Lawrence's office.

Familiar with dodging surveillance cameras, I went unnoticed. However, Mrs. Lawrence was present, aware that I was the last to see her husband.

Nicole still didn't know that her mother knew. The shock had been too strong and her mother had fallen into a coma that persisted to this day. That was why the truth had remained hidden for so long.

Brett continued: “As he asked, I played the video for Mr. Lawrence and then told him that burdening his son with parents like him could be overwhelming. I said those words to persuade him to take his own life. For a long moment, Mr. Lawrence remained silent.

Finally, she expressed her reluctance to burden her daughter. She could not bear the thought of leaving her alone in the world or making her feel that her death was her responsibility.

"Miss Lawrence, your father feared that his death would cast a shadow over you, making you believe it was your fault. He was a truly exceptional father, with an intimate understanding of you..."

Nicole's eyes filled with tears, cascading down her cheeks. The anguish was suffocating; every breath was a labor.

Brett sighed. “Mr. Lawrence's words touched me deeply. I realized the enormity of my misdeed. How could I endanger another loving father for the sake of my daughter?”

I confessed everything to him and he forgave me. His words still linger in my mind. He said, “Brett, I forgive you as a father. Don't make this mistake again. Get help if you need it.”

Brett's eyes mirrored Nicole's. In fact, both he and Mr. Lawrence were parents, guardians in need. He had everything but lost his right to parenthood.

Brett reviewed the events. “Shame weighed on me as I left, abandoning Mr. Lawrence. Ashamed to face anyone, I sought solace. But as I left, I noticed that my daughter's gift keychain was missing. Retracing my steps, I glimpsed a fleeting shadow in another hallway, assumed it was a colleague, and dismissed it.

«When I returned to Mr. Lawrence's office, the door was unlocked and silence reigned. Assuming that Mr. Lawrence had left, I reached for my key ring. Just as I was about to leave, I noticed the open window. The wind blowing high up in the building prompted me to close it, only to see a crowd gathering below…”
