Two faces were exactly the same. Peter looked at Alan in the camera as if looking in the mirror.
However, although the two individuals had strikingly similar facial features, their temperaments were completely different.
Peter has always been serious and poker–faced since he was young, giving people a feeling of being unapproachable.
But older brother Alan was a born playboy, always hanging out with women every day.
“Alan, do you remember what day it is today?” Peter looked at Alan coldly, feeling extremely angry as he saw Alan
surrounded by others.
“I certainly won’t forget. Today was Daniela and Ella’s
birthday,” Alan said, his expression filled with pain. He pushed away the woman beside him and drank a glass of red wine in one gulp.
“If Ella were still alive, she would have been 23 years old this year,” Peter said, glancing at the gold bracelet on his wrist. Each of the six siblings had a gold bracelet like this, and the back of each bracelet was engraved with their names.

“Is this yours?” Zora Stanley, the leader of Group Three, picked up a red string from the ground, with a gold lock tied to it.
Camila quickly thanked.
“Thank you, I accidentally dropped it just now,” Camila said as she took the golden bracelet and carefully put it on her wrist. She had been wearing this golden bracelet since she was little, and she cherished it deeply.
Zora had a neat ear–length haircut and her facial features were also somewhat neutral, giving her a very capable
appearance.
“My name is Zora Stanley. I’m your team leader. Welcome to join Group Three.”
Camila didn’t expect her boss to be so young, appearing only a few years older than her.
Zora introduced the company’s situation to Camila and then explained the upcoming tasks.
Because Camila had just started her job, she needed to undergo onboarding training. The training consisted of both online and offline components. After the training, Camila had to undergo an assessment. Only if she passed the assessment would she be officially hired.
When Camila left Conner Consultancy, it started raining outside.
Camila ran all the way to the nearby bus stop. As she looked

up, she saw Samson, who was drenched like a wet chicken, running towards her.
Samson was holding a big box. Rainwater was streaming down his stern face.
The moment Samson saw Camila, he awkwardly turned his face away. He seemed to want to pretend not to know her, but his tense, rigid back revealed his nervousness.
Camila didn’t know what to say.
The two people remained silent like two soundless parallel lines. They missed each other once and never intersected for the rest of their lives.
It was probably due to the rain that the bus was late in coming. As the rain grew heavier, Camila didn’t want to wait
anymore.
Camila took out her phone and booked a car.
Ten minutes later, the car with its hazard lights on drove
towards us.
At this moment, Samson suddenly spoke up.
“Sorry,” Samson’s voice was so low that Camila thought she was hallucinating.
However, Camila did not turn back and got into the car by opening the door.
Just as Camila closed the car door, she heard a loud “bang“. She turned around and saw that Samson had fallen heavily to the ground.

After hesitating for a moment, Camila decided to have the driver stop the car and asked him to help Samson get on
board.
“Is your stomach acting up?” Camila looked at Samson’s painful expression and wanted to take him to the hospital. However, he stubbornly refused, insisting that he would be fine by going back and drinking some hot water.
Camila had to ask the driver to change the route and take Samson back home.
According to the address given by Samson, the driver drove to an old residential area.
Camila followed Samson into the entrance of a unit. Samson took the box and told her to go back.
Camila nodded. She hadn’t walked far when she saw Samson crouching on the stairs leading to the basement, unable to stand up due to pain.
Camila knew that Samson’s stomach had always been bad, and every time he fell ill, it would almost take his life.
Camila hurriedly ran back.
“Why haven’t you left yet?” Samson’s face contorted in pain. “Are you here to laugh at me?”
“Don’t speak, go back and take some medicine first,” Camila supported Samson.
Samson was no longer showing off. He leaned half of his body against Camila’s and walked down the stairs, arriving at the door of a basement.

There were no windows in the room. Samson turned on the light. There was only a bed in the room, along with a long table. The table was cluttered with toiletries, a razor, fast food, and smelly socks…
Camila was stunned.
Camila wondered, “How did that once clean and fresh campus heartthrob end up like this?”
“How did you come to live in a place like this?”
“This is karma,” Samson sighed, taking out a medicine bottle from the bedside table and swallowing some pills with half a bottle of mineral water.
“What I regret the most now is not listening to you and saving more money back then.”
Samson self–mockingly said, “When I was with you before, I didn’t have to worry about anything. At that time, I felt like everything came so easily. Even if I lost my job, I still had food on the table and clothes at my fingertips. But I never thought that I was able to live that kind of life because of you.”
“My life completely changed after I started dating Mackenzie. She was even lazier than me. She wouldn’t cook or do laundry, and she could spend even more money than me.”
“But there is one thing Mackenzie is better than you. She never nags me. When we are together, it’s all about eating, drinking, and having fun, and soon all the money is gone.”
“Last month, Mackenzie’s younger brother lost a gambling

bet and borrowed money at a high interest rate. If her brother didn’t repay the money, he would have his limbs cut off. With no other choice, Mackenzie took 16 thousand dollars from the company.”
“Later, the truth was exposed, and Mackenzie tried to shift the blame onto you. However, she was not successful. On the day she was taken away by the police, she even called me and urged me not to let you go.”
“Mackenzie is just like that. She always likes to push the blame onto others. I used to have the same problem before. But now I realize that everything is my own doing.”
“How is Mackenzie doing now?” Camila asked.
“I took out all of my savings, returned the house I used to rent, borrowed some more, and managed to gather 16 thousand dollars to repay the company. The company also issued a letter of understanding. I hope to receive a lenient sentence.”
Camila also sighed. She couldn’t forgive Mackenzie and Samson, she just felt sorry for them.
“What happened to you? Why were you fired by Startak Gaming?”
“Do you already know?” Samson chuckled bitterly. “I just glanced at the attendance sheet on the supervisor’s desk, and they accused me of stealing company secrets. Not only did they withhold my 10–thousand–dollar security deposit, but they also fired me.”
“This was indeed a bit excessive,” Camila thought of Kevin, whom she had blocked at that time.
“So I said, maybe this is my karma,” Samson collapsed onto the bed, waving his hand at Camila as if he had lost all hope. “You should go, I don’t want you to see me like this now.”
“Then you rest well.” Camila closed the door for Samson and left with a heavy heart.
On the way home, Camila hesitated for a long time but eventually removed Kevin from the blacklist. Then, Camila sent him a message, asking Kevin to give Samson another chance.
