But now, Shannon was surprised to know Tobias had "thanked" his way out of danger. In that case, she had no reason to drive him away.

"Tell me everything in detail," she said, turning toward her courtyard. Tobias dared not take up her time and quickly followed suit.

After entering the courtyard and sitting in a warm, secure, and quiet atmosphere, Tobias finally relaxed his pounding heart. Then he began recalling his story tonight.

"The one haunting me is my half-brother," he said. "My father never liked my mother, and by extension, he never liked me. So, growing up, everything in the family always revolved around the brother my stepmother had. It was the same for me.

"Because my family pampered him, my brother developed a domineering attitude from a young age. After I started working, he kept asking me for money…

"At first, I couldn't resist the family pressure. I gave him most of the hard-earned money I made, and the more I earned, the more they demanded.

"Eventually, I don't know where he picked up a gambling addiction. It became like a bottomless pit, and no matter how much I tried to fill it, I could never satisfy him. But they just wouldn't let me go."

As Tobias spoke, a hint of mockery flashed across his face, as if recalling something bitter. Due to his parasitic family, he remained single even at the age of 35.

On one hand, he didn't have much to offer; on the other hand, he didn't want to drag a poor lady down with him.

"Two nights ago, he suddenly called, demanding I send him 70 thousand to pay off his gambling debt. I refused. Not that I didn't have the money—even if I did, I wouldn't give a penny to that gambling addict!"

He spoke with frustration, then let out a bitter laugh. "I never imagined, in just one day, he'd come back as a ghost to haunt me."

He said that because he refused to give him the money to pay off the debt, his brother, in an attempt to avoid the debt collectors, accidentally fell to his death.

Although he had died, his body wasn't discovered right away, and Tobias didn't even know he had passed. It wasn't until tonight when his brother's ghost showed up that he found out.

"He kept blaming me for his death, insisting that I owed him a life. But how was I supposed to know something like this would happen? His death was his own doing! It had nothing to do with me!"
