"Wesley, I didn't expect you to be so crazy that you dared to kill someone. I have been convincing myself that my father's death was an accident. I can't blame you for your young age. But I didn't expect that you wouldn't deserve it at all. You are born to be a jinx! I really regret bringing you back! You should have died in that fire with your parents!"
Kayla regretted bringing me home and having a brother like me.
My hands were shaking and tears were falling uncontrollably.
For the last time, I defended myself. "Kayla, it wasn't me. Max cut himself. He just wanted to frame me."
Kayla looked sarcastic. "You're so bad at lying. No one would frame someone else with his life!"
I was so panicked that I blurted out something very improper at that moment. "But he really can do such a thing. Have you forgotten that he framed Noah in order to..."
As soon as Noah's name was mentioned, Kayla and I were both stunned.
When she was in college, she went to the beach for a barbecue with some friends, including Max and me.
Although he was not invited, Max insisted on joining us, and Kayla took me with her.
That day, in order to frame Noah, Max jumped into the sea. After being rescued, he immediately falsely accused Noah of pushing him into the sea.
Fortunately, everyone believed in Noah and insisted on checking the surveillance camera and questioning many witnesses.
It proved that Max jumped into the sea by himself, and he could swim. He just cramped and almost ended up accidentally killing himself.
For a long while, Kayla didn't say anything.
I immediately regretted exposing Kayla's scars but felt glad that she seemed to realize that Max would achieve his goal by doing whatever it was.
And so, we all remained silent and deadlocked.
