Chapter 5

Everyone turned their heads simultaneously.

Peyton, who had been so smug just moments ago, instantly paled.

She pulled out her phone, trying to appear calm.

"Everyone don't panic... this is normal for a heart attack!"

"The AI app says if someone falls unconscious, you can do CPR and they'll recover quickly."

Then she looked at Mason behind her, her voice urgent.

"Mason, I'll give instructions, you do the CPR."

"I'll perfectly capture you working hard to save someone, and then we'll go claim credit from Joshua."

Mason nodded after hearing this, then followed her prompts and began operating on the spot.

But Peyton wasn't a medical student. She'd never learned first aid or received training. She couldn't even find the correct position for CPR before having someone press down hard.

Suddenly, there was a "crack."

Everyone's faces changed.

"Peyton, are you sure it's this spot? Why was there a cracking sound?"

Peyton's face was deathly pale, but she still gritted her teeth stubbornly.

"That's right, one-third down the sternum—the AI app says this is the standard position for CPR."

"Maybe you used too much force... be gentler."

Mason didn't doubt her and continued pressing down.

Just then, urgent footsteps came from outside the door.

Before anyone could react, the door was slammed open and Joshua rushed in with bodyguards.

"Who dares hurt my daughter?"

Peyton's face changed dramatically.

She pointed at me lying on the ground, her voice shrill as she shouted,

"It was Paige! She's the one who killed Joanna!"
