The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009: He’s Been Eating His Idol’s Offerings

The reason the old ghost is called an old ghost is because he has been wandering the mortal realm for long enough.

A dozen years ago, that’s when Jeffrey Torres had just passed away.

The entire ghost of the old ghost was quite dejected, and while floating about aimlessly, he accidentally saw a woman sitting on a bridge, about to commit suicide.

The woman held a white chrysanthemum in her hand, her entire being exuding a sense of numbness with nothing left to live for.

Perhaps because of seeing the white chrysanthemums lining the long street for farewells, the old ghost saw the white chrysanthemum in the woman’s hand and instinctively pounced toward her.

Just as the woman threw the white chrysanthemum into the river and was about to jump, she felt a chilling wind sweep over the river with such force that it directly blew her off the railing back onto the ground.

The woman was somewhat bewildered, but just thought it was a gust of wind, and climbed back up the railing, wavering and trembling.

The old ghost took a breath and, seeing this, had no choice but to take another deep breath and blow toward the woman once more.

After two consecutive times, the woman seemed to finally realize something, and tears suddenly started falling down, as she whispered chokingly to the empty long street.

The old ghost followed his memory, recalling that the woman said —

"Brother... is that you?"

The old ghost widened his eyes again, with a look of astonishment.

So at the time, the woman actually mistook him for the... ghost spirit of Jeffrey Torres?

Wait, her suicide might also have been because Jeffrey Torres died, right?

Upon hearing that his sister was saved from a suicide, Jeffrey felt a pang of heartache, and at this moment, obviously also thought of the connection between his sister’s suicide attempt and his own car accident death and hurriedly looked at Scarlett Jennings.

Scarlett Jennings then briefly described what she found out about Meliora Torres’s life.

"She fled from her original home and did not dare to return, at first working while inquiring about your news. She almost got tricked and trafficked to the mountains, but luckily escaped halfway, albeit to a completely unfamiliar environment..."

Meliora could only keep working, trying to save money for the fare to go home, and it was there she met another man.

The man was a little older, but very caring towards her, and was gentle and considerate on a daily basis.

For Meliora, who felt abandoned by her brother and never experienced paternal love, this was irresistible.

A year after they met, they got married locally, but after marriage, she discovered the man’s family were all vampires.

She had barely escaped one pitfall, only to fall into another.

Daily chores were endless, and her mother-in-law was harsh and picky, even the man who was once gentle and caring always oppressed her mentally. She became timid and constrained under the constant oppression from the man and his family.

Meliora felt life was truly harsh.

It was around this time she saw her brother, now a big celebrity.

She recognized him at first glance, her first thought was to find him.

But she accidentally overheard her brother-in-law and mother-in-law chatting about her brother, filled with admiration for his ability to earn money, and wishing he were a relative.

Her desire to find her brother was instantly quenched by those words.

Originally feeling abandoned, although she was resentful, upon seeing him escape from their home and have such a great life, she felt happy for him.

He had finally achieved such a bright future, she couldn’t drag him back into another quagmire.

She chose to sink into the quagmire alone.

Until she heard the news of Jeffrey Torres’s death.

At that time, she was nearly unable to cope with the exploitation from her husband’s family and the man, and the news of Jeffrey Torres’s death was undoubtedly the last straw.

She couldn’t care less, stole money, and boarded a bus to Capital Metropolitan.

Eventually arriving in the city where her brother died, watching those mourn and cry for her brother’s passing.

Yet she, as his sister, was not even comparable to those people.

But she thought, at least she could choose to die in the same city as her brother.

Maybe after dying and going to the Underworld, they could meet below.
