I Sold the Grand Prize for a Dollar Chapter 8
The words on that screen hit me so hard that I could not breathe.If I had not grabbed that influencer's phone and gone through the surveillance footage from our apartment, I never would have figured out that the message came from Corinne.Wesley had been sensible and selfless his entire life. After I lost Elliot and Sadie, he was the only thing keeping me standing. Today, Corinne had torn that away from me with her own two hands."Oh my God! Wesley believed what she told him, and that's why he jumped!""Poor Wesley. Why would you kill him?"Corinne's face had turned ashen. She backed away with her eyes fixed on me. She let out a cold, bitter laugh. "So I guess he didn't love me as much as I thought. Is that what he whispered to you at the end? That I'm the one who killed him?"I choked back the grief and shook my head. "The last thing he said to me was, 'Mom, take care of Corinne and the baby for me.' He chose to protect you even in death. You failed to cherish it."Corinne res

"So that's why she sold the ticket to the man who used to beat her..."The realization swept through the crowd like a wave finally breaking."Holy... Check the news! This morning, a man with a bad leg lost control of his car and drove off a bridge. Police found 30 million dollars in cash in the vehicle. That has to be her ex-husband."I closed my eyes and let my mind drift back to the phone call Wesley had replayed for me earlier that day, the last call to Hank.I had heard every word.That piece of garbage had sneered at Wesley on the other end of the line. "Your mom actually told me this was some kind of curse transfer! Give me a break!"She's out of her mind, kid. Don't end up like her. But hey, if things really go south, come find me. I could always use another dog around the house! Just learn to bark and you'll fit right in!"Seconds after he finished speaking, his car swerved off the bridge.Wesley had heard the whole thing in real time. That was the moment he had no choi

The crowd lost it. Bystanders rushed to help Corinne to her feet, and someone swung hard and slapped me across the face. My lip split, and blood ran down my chin."She's just like her ex said. The only thing she understands is a beating!""Someone like her shouldn't exist!""She won't stop until every last person in her family is dead."Fists came from every direction. I curled inward, shielding whatever I was clutching against my chest. Someone noticed and lunged for it, trying to pry it from my hands. I went feral and bit down. The crowd recoiled. Then, someone sharp-eyed noticed the dirt caked all over me."She just dug that up from her husband's grave!""It's probably something valuable.""Maybe that's what the 30 million went toward!"I lifted my head and saw Corinne staring at the object in my arms, her gaze cold and calculating. The corner of my mouth twitched upward.It was just as I suspected."Everyone, hurry up and take that thing away from her. Something that va

I rushed to the window and looked down. Wesley's body lay twisted on the pavement, blood pooling around him in every direction. The sight nearly knocked me off my feet.Corinne glanced down, screamed, and fainted on the spot."Call an ambulance!"Everyone in the room was white with horror, backing away from me without even realizing they were doing it."Her husband and her son both jumped! She's a jinx!""Did he say something to her right before he did it?!"I kept replaying what had just happened, turning it over and over in my mind. Something felt wrong, like I had missed something, but the chaos around me was deafening, and my thoughts would not hold still long enough for me to catch any of them.Then, it hit me. I grabbed one of the influencers' phones and pulled up the surveillance feed from the room. Fighting through the grief, I looped the footage again and again until I caught a single moment, and everything fell into place.I stood up and looked down at Corinne, who wa

When I still refused to speak, Wesley lost the last of his patience. He turned to the camera. "This man is my mother's first husband. The same man who sold her to a gambling house to pay off his debts! And that's not all. After my dad married my mom, he kept coming around to harass my little sister Sadie. He said once she was old enough, he'd sell her off too!"The comments erupted.[She's insane! She threw away her daughter, her son, everything… for her ex-husband! She drove her own husband to kill himself!][She's the worst kind of trash! She's got to be some kind of masochist. I heard that back when they were together, she couldn't even get a scrap of food while he ate like a king!][I used to live next door to them. Everything you're saying is true. He'd beat her bloody and dump her outside like garbage, and nobody did a thing. He used to tell people that anyone could have her as long as they paid! And she just handed the ticket over to the same guy!][She should've just died!

As more viewers piled in, every lottery redemption center in the city came under watch. My heart climbed straight into my throat. Minutes crawled by, then hours. An entire day passed with no news.[Maybe they're not coming in today.][The whole thing got too big. They're scared to show up.][Just wait. They have to come out eventually.]Then a man claiming to be the owner of a lottery shop left a comment. "A guy came in first thing this morning wearing a mask and cashed out the 30 million. I just saw the live stream and put it together."[What did he look like?][Couldn't tell. He was covered head to toe and showed up the second I unlocked the doors. I had no idea the ticket was bought off someone. If I'd known, I never would have let him redeem it!]Wesley clenched his fists and spoke directly into the camera. "I'm asking for everyone's help to find this person and get the ticket back. Once it's done, I'll pay a million dollars to whoever helped make it happen."The response w
