Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

On the one hand, she hadn’t slept all night, and on the other, she was terrified.

She had never thought about killing Olivia.

She just wanted to beat Olivia to vent her anger.

“Olivia’s Mom!”

Just then, Mrs. Flack rushed out from the crowd.

The police officer immediately asked, “What is your relationship with Miss Thompson?”

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Flack said, “I’m their landlord. Officer, you must have made a mistake. Olivia is a good child, sensible and obedient. She must be fine. She must be fine, right?”

Mrs. Flack truly felt sorry for Olivia.

She had suffered since childhood.

She also had an irresponsible father.

And now, her body was found in the garbage dump.

It was hard to imagine what the child had gone through in her life.

With these thoughts in mind, Mrs. Flack cried without a care for her appearance.

She refused to believe.

She refused to believe that it was Olivia.

The police officer also couldn’t be certain that the dead girl was Olivia, so he continued, “We’ll need a family member to confirm whether it’s the missing child or not.”

At this point, the doctor quickly revived Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang looked at the police officer, “Officer, you must have made a mistake. Our Olivia was fine just yesterday. She must be alright.”

The officer sighed.

Usually, they dreaded handling such criminal cases because they couldn’t face the victim’s family.

Especially since this child was only fourteen years old.

She wasn’t even an adult yet.

“Miss Thompson, Please calm down and come with us to the police station.”

Mrs. Flack held Aunt Zhang, “Olivia’s Mom, I’ll go with you.”

Aunt Zhang held Mrs. Flack’s hand tightly, “Thank you, Mrs. Flack.”

Mrs. Flack continued, “Where is your husband? Have you informed him about this huge incident with Olivia?”

Tears streaming down her face, Aunt Zhang shook her head, “He hasn’t returned since he left last night.”

Hearing this, the police officer immediately asked, “When did your husband leave last night?”

Aunt Zhang replied, “My husband and I had a little conflict last night, and then I fell asleep. I don’t know when he left.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Flack knew that James must have beaten Aunt Zhang again.

The police officer looked at the female officer behind him, “Get in touch with James immediately.”

“Understood.”

With that said, the officer looked at Mrs. Flack and Aunt Zhang, “Let’s go to the police station.”

The police car hurriedly left the urban village.

Leaving behind a crowd of villagers.

“What do you think, is that child at the garbage dump Olivia?”

“Don’t talk nonsense; it’s definitely not Olivia!”

“If it really is Olivia, her mother won’t be able to live.”

“Olivia’s mom is pitiful too, first being a victim of domestic violence and now losing her daughter. How will she survive the rest of her life?”

“It’s said that Luckwell fainted from shock at the garbage dump and hasn’t come around yet.”

Soon enough.

The police car arrived at the station.

And then at the morgue.

The police officer unveiled the white cloth covering the body.

At that moment.

Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Flack closed their eyes immediately.

They were afraid to face the truth.

Mrs. Flack genuinely couldn’t face it.

As for Aunt Zhang, it was part fear and part acting.

She had to put on a convincing act to avoid suspicion.

At this moment.

Aunt Zhang was immensely grateful for her years of pretense.

That’s why, in front of others, she always appeared to be a good wife and a loving mother.

In contrast, James was the unforgivable one.

“Please open your eyes.”

The female officer continued.

Although the reality was hard to face.

They had no choice but to face it.

Hearing this, Aunt Zhang cautiously opened her eyes, and when she recognized the body on the table, she staggered back a few steps before collapsing on Olivia’s body, sobbing loudly, “Olivia! Olivia! How could you bear to leave your mother! My Olivia!”

Her demeanor resembled that of a loving mother.

Who would have thought she was a wolf in sheep’s clothing?

Mrs. Flack also cried heartbrokenly.

After all, she had watched Olivia grow up.

“Olivia! Olivia!”

Aunt Zhang cried almost to the point of fainting.

Mrs. Flack’s condition was slightly better.

The police started by asking Mrs. Flack about the situation.

“My name is Lorraine. I’m the landlord of Olivia’s family. I rented my house to them more than ten years ago. I knew they had a hard life, so I’ve barely raised their rent all these years.”

“Olivia’s mother, Nidya, is a good person. She’s hardworking and devoted, also very good to her daughter.”
