A sudden realization struck me, and I turned to Alfie and Demi. "Which floor do you live on?"The couple immediately looked at each other with dawning recognition."We live on the second floor, and our windows are old-fashioned. With enough force, they can be opened from the outside. Are you saying Madison actually used that demon to steal our bank card?"I nodded, quickly walking over to help them hold the mop handle in place as I continued, "If I'm right, your bank card PIN is your daughter's birthday, isn't it?"They nodded eagerly, and my suspicions were beginning to align.I then turned to the colleague who had identified the Flying Head Demon. "Is it possible for this creature to transform into someone familiar?"The colleague shook his head. "I'm not sure, but this dark magic is incredibly sinister. I think your guess is probably correct."I nodded and borrowed a lighter from a colleague who usually smoked. I ripped the charm bracelet off Madison's wrist and set it on fir

"Tsk, look at you. Dressed in rags and carrying that filthy sack. The bank isn't a place for beggars! Don't even think about coming to me for service. You reek. I only deal with high-value clients."The sharp voice snapped me out of my thoughts. When I blinked, the first thing I saw was my best friend, Madison Doyle, pinching her nose with a look of utter disgust as she turned away.Outside the glass partition stood an older couple, their faces etched with worry. Despite the humiliation, they held onto their money bag tightly, refusing to leave.Noticing their distress, Madison rolled her eyes. Then, in a voice dripping with false kindness, she said, "Go to the window on the left. Caitlin Howard loves playing the saint. She'll be more than happy to count your sack of loose change."The couple turned to me with desperation in their eyes. My heart sank.In my previous life, I had rushed to smooth things over, apologizing for Madison's rudeness before handling the transaction myself.

The next morning, as soon as I arrived at the bank, I saw Alfie and Demi wailing uncontrollably at the entrance.Alarmed, I rushed over to ask what had happened. That was when I found out that their bank card was still on them, but all the money inside had vanished.The bizarre theft immediately caught the bank's attention.Seeing how distraught they were, I handed them some warm water and patiently asked if anyone else had touched their card.Alfie and Demi shook their heads firmly. They swore they had kept the card under their pillow the entire night. The doors and windows showed no signs of being tampered with, so there was no way it had been stolen.Watching them break down in tears was heartbreaking. I immediately checked the bank system to find the withdrawal time and ATM location for them.According to the logs, the money had indeed been taken out—little by little—last night. The thief drained the entire five million dollars from the account overnight, using multiple ATMs.

I had taken a nasty fall. My ankle was swelling badly.But I barely felt the pain. My heart was pounding, and a deep sense of unease gripped every inch of my body.Madison hadn't been anywhere near the VIP room. So why was she suddenly taking the rest of the day off?There was no way she could have seen Alfie and Demi's PIN from thin air.I forced myself to stand, trying to follow her, but the moment I put weight on my foot, a sharp pain nearly sent me collapsing again.I could only watch helplessly as Madison disappeared from sight.I was just about to curse under my breath when my phone rang.It was my boyfriend, Evan Watson.I didn't answer right away. Instead, memories from my previous life surfaced.If I wasn't mistaken, last time, Evan had called me right after Madison left too.He never used to care about what I was doing at work. Was he tracking my movements?Suspicion tightened in my chest. I finally picked up, and Evan's voice came through the receiver."Caitlin,

Just as everyone was reeling in shock, Evan strode over to Madison's side and snapped at me, "Caitlin, we trusted you, and you had the audacity to steal from clients? That was their daughter's life-saving money!"I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to buy a car. Now it all makes sense!"As soon as he said that, Madison chimed in, "Yeah, Caitlin! I thought you were my friend, but you turned out to be heartless enough to rob this poor couple! You're really shameless!"You've always talked about how nice it would be if all the money in the bank belonged to you. I thought you were just kidding, but I never imagined you'd actually stoop to being a thief!"Mr. and Mrs. Austin, don't worry! We'll make sure Caitlin pays for what she did!"Alfie and Demi stared at me, eyes brimming with tears. They looked shocked but didn't immediately jump to blame me.Of course. I was the only one who had stepped up to help them yesterday, yet overnight, I had somehow become the one who hurt them.

Willow wasn't just our manager. She was also George's wife.With her vouching for me, everyone fell into a tense silence.In my previous life, I hadn't been able to make out what was on the screen. This time, I wasted no time. I scrolled through the footage frame by frame.Even though it was nighttime, the ATM lights were still bright.Under the clear, almost daylight-like glow, my face was unmistakably visible.No matter how I looked at it, the person in the footage was undeniably me.I felt frustrated but refused to give up. I stubbornly kept my eyes locked on the screen.Seeing me so close to the monitor, Madison immediately signaled for Evan to pull me away."You're really evil, Caitlin! You were the only one who had access to Mrs. Austin's card yesterday. Who knows what kind of trick you used to secretly copy it? You probably faked that ankle sprain just to create an alibi!"Evan, eager to support Madison's accusations, quickly chimed in, "Yeah, Madison's right. She saw t

Madison's eyes widened in an instant. She quickly covered her right wrist with her left hand and shouted defensively, "Stop slandering me! What's one bracelet supposed to prove? Maybe you copied me and secretly bought the same one!"I couldn't help but laugh at how flustered she looked."Since your memory seems to be a little off, let me remind you. Last month, after you returned from your Jordale trip, you treated that bracelet like a treasure and spent a long time bragging about it to all of us."What did you say again? Oh, I remember now. You said that bracelet was one of a kind, the only one in the world. Tell us, Madison. How did you disguise yourself as me? And how did you steal that money with my face?"Madison stomped her foot in frustration. Evan, seeing her in such a panic, shoved me to the ground in a fit of anger."How can you be so vile, Caitlin? It's just a bracelet. There are tons of copies out there! What's that supposed to prove? You've been friends with Madison f

Alfie and Demi turned to me. Their eyes were filled with desperation."We really don't know what else to do. Our daughter is still in the hospital. If she doesn't make it, we won't have any reason to live either!"I let out a deep sigh and helped the sobbing couple to their feet."Your daughter is going to be fine. I already paid for the medical expenses this morning."The moment those words left my mouth, everyone fell silent.It was no surprise they were shocked. Although I worked at the bank, I kept a low profile and barely made my presence known.Even Madison, the person closest to me, had no idea that I was actually a rich heiress.I had only taken this job to pass the time.In my previous life, if Alfie and Demi's daughter had survived, I could have covered her surgery costs and investigated the truth at my own pace.But tragically, because the surgery had been delayed, their daughter had passed away that very afternoon.Amidst the gasps, Evan's face was filled with sho

Madison trembled with fury and immediately retorted, "I don't care how you try to argue. I'm innocent! Let me out of here! I'm feeling sick! I need to go to the hospital!"If something happens to me here, I'll sue you all for illegal detention. Just wait to be arrested!"At first, I thought Madison was trying to make a run for it with the money, but as I studied her, I realized something was wrong.Her lips were pale, and the dark circles under her eyes were even worse than before. Most unsettling of all, her neck seemed to be elongating.At the mention of illegal detention, everyone stepped back. No one wanted to be caught up in a lawsuit for just being spectators.Soon, all eyes were on me.I knew I couldn't let Madison leave at that moment. If she did, she and Evan would disappear with the money.Just as I was about to take responsibility, Alfie and Demi, who had seemed so timid up to this point, suddenly stepped forward."You're all still young, so it's understandable that

Maddison was right.Yesterday, when I saw Madison leave and then received Evan's check-in call, I had a gut feeling that they would steal again in this life.To be safe—and to help this poor couple— I specifically asked Willow to come with me and helped pay their daughter's surgery fees before checking out of the hospital early in the morning.But from an outsider's perspective, my actions must have seemed bizarre.After all, who would just throw away five million dollars for a stranger?As I considered this, Evan let out a sinister laugh."Well, well, Caitlin. You dated me for so long while hiding your identity. Who knows what your real intentions were?"And now, you deliberately paid for their daughter's medical bills just so you could frame Madison. A vile woman like you has no right to live in this world!"He then turned to Alfie and Demi. "She used your daughter to set this all up! What are you waiting for? Go teach her a lesson already!"Evan's face twisted with rage. Hi
