Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

She actually killed someone!

No.

She didn’t kill anyone.

Aunt Zhang tried to calm herself down, her trembling fingers reaching for Olivia Cooper’s nose again.

No breath.

Not even the slightest hint of one.

She’s dead.

Really dead.

Olivia Cooper was really dead.

What should she do now?

She didn’t mean to kill anyone.

Cold sweat broke out on Aunt Zhang’s forehead in layers.

She needed to calm herself down.

She couldn’t panic.

Aunt Zhang dragged Olivia Cooper’s body into the room and then swept away any traces on the ground.

After doing these things, Aunt Zhang went to her own bedroom.

The room smelled heavily of alcohol.

James was lying on the bed, fast asleep.

Aunt Zhang squinted her eyes.

She quickly found a large suitcase and put Olivia Cooper’s body inside.

Although Olivia was already fourteen years old, she was very thin and small, and easily fit into the luggage.

Just then.

Aunt Zhang suddenly noticed the smartwatch on Olivia Cooper’s wrist.

She immediately tore off the watch, stomped on it with her foot to break it, and finally threw it in the trash can.

After all this, Aunt Zhang brought the trolley luggage to the living room, then came to the bedroom and tapped her sleeping husband, James. “Wake up! Wake up!”

James opened his eyes, and in one swipe, grabbed Aunt Zhang’s hair, “You damn woman! You wanna live for a long time, huh!”

How dare she wake him up!

With an open mouth, his breath even stronger with alcohol.

James was like this almost every day.

Living in a drunken stupor.

Aunt Zhang was in pain, her eyebrows tightly knitted together as she took out a little cash from her pocket, “Honey, I just wanted to tell you that I got my bonus today. You can use it to buy some booze.”

Seeing the money, James’s face changed immediately. He took the cash with satisfaction, nodding. “Why didn’t you say so before!”

James counted the money, more than two thousand yuan.

Another chance to gamble!

He took the money and headed outside.

Aunt Zhang looked at his back and squinted her eyes, “Honey.”

“Damn woman!” James turned back around, furious. “What is it now?”

Aunt Zhang pointed to the old trolley luggage by the living room, “Take this luggage and throw it out with you.”

On any other day, James would have beaten Aunt Zhang up.

That damn woman!

How dare she instruct him to do this and that.

But, today was different.

He just got some money, and his mood was quite good. Without a word, he dragged the trolley luggage away.

After walking a few steps.

James felt something was off, “What did you put in here? Why is it so heavy?”

Aunt Zhang’s heart leaped to her throat.

Cold sweat broke out on her back all of a sudden.

But she still pretended to be calm. “Oh, I just put some unnecessary trash in there.”

James didn’t say anything else and turned around to leave with the luggage.

Watching James’s back, Aunt Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Around ten o’clock that night.

There was no one left at the garbage dump.

Only a lone streetlight illuminated the area.

As pale as death.

This scene was a replica of the ghost movies she often watched.

Even more horrifying, actually.

A gust of wind blew, and James felt a chill down his back.

It was cold, so cold.

It was the middle of summer, but he felt very cold, his body covered in goosebumps.

Could there be ghosts in this garbage dump?

James directly threw the luggage into the garbage dump and then started running.

He was fast.

It seemed as if someone was chasing him from behind.

James ran straight to the casino.

Inside the casino, the noise of the crowd quickly diluted his horror.

That night, James’s luck was surprisingly good.

He won twenty thousand yuan with just two thousand.

…

The next morning.

A sanitation worker at the garbage station found a suitcase while cleaning up the garbage.

“What the hell is inside that makes it so heavy!” The worker kicked the luggage with disdain on his face.

Driven by curiosity, the worker carefully unzipped the suitcase.

At that moment.

A pale hand suddenly stretched out from the suitcase.

“Ah!”

The worker was so frightened that he fell to the ground and crawled out of the garbage station.

“Murder! There’s been a murder!”

Quickly.

Several police cars rushed to the garbage station at the same time and set up a cordon around the area.

The news of a body being dumped at the garbage station was like a bomb, scaring all the villagers to death.

The once-peaceful village became restless.

Everyone rushed to the scene to watch the commotion.

They all guessed who the body wrapped up might be.

At the same time.

Aunt Zhang calmly called the police. As soon as the call was answered, her voice became anxious, “Hello, I want to report a crime! My daughter is missing!”

“You have to find my daughter!”

The operator on the other end comforted her, “Ma’am, don’t worry, please describe your daughter’s clothing when she disappeared. Also, what is her name, age, which school does she attend…”

Aunt Zhang cried while answering the operator’s questions.

She thought it was just an ordinary missing person case.

Little did she know.

Soon, the police discovered a missing child similar to Olivia Cooper.

However, regrettably.

The child had become a cold corpse.

The police immediately set up a special task force to investigate Aunt Zhang’s rental house and the body dumping site.

When Aunt Zhang saw the police, she immediately stumbled over, “Officer, did you find my daughter?”

The leading female officer looked at Aunt Zhang without expression.

She was not quite fifty years old.

Because she was so anxious, she hadn’t bothered to put on shoes and was barefoot.

Her face bore obvious bruises.

“Are you Olivia Cooper’s mother?”

Aunt Zhang immediately nodded, “Yes, I am! I am her mother, my name is Nidya. Where is my daughter now?”

“Miss Thompson, we regret to inform you that we received a report this morning from the sanitation workers at a garbage station not far from your home, where they found the body of a young girl. The victim’s height and clothing are very similar to your daughter Olivia’s, so we suspect that she might be your daughter. Please come with us to the police station now.”
