Chapter 8
He grabbed Mark’s collar so tightly that his knuckles turned white as he mocked him. “You slandered her innocence and refused to accept that you killed her to run away from the fact that you murdered your own wife and children!
“The body in the attic belongs to Jane! She only gave birth to one twin and died before she gave birth to the other due to labor complications!”
Jacob let go and said, “I didn’t call the police because I wanted to see you break down after accepting the truth. Mark, will you let forensics perform an autopsy on the body, or are you scared that the body might belong to Jane after all?!”
Mark suddenly lost his strength and stumbled a few steps back before he regained his footing.
When he returned to the mansion, Rachel had changed into lingerie and moved into the master bedroom.
Her entire body was enveloped in a white fishnet outfit as she lay limply against Mark. “Mark, I’ve been waiting for this day for so long. I can finally belong to you…”
She shut her eyes and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him, but to her surprise, Mark rejected her
advances.
He pushed her away and avoided her gaze. “I have some business to deal with. I’ll be sleeping in the study tonight.”
He turned around and left Rachel stomping her feet in anger. While she stripped, she chased
after him.
But even after she was down to her birthday suit, Mark just said, “Remember to cover yourself with a blanket. Don’t catch a cold.”
He shut the door of the bedroom.
Mark did not go to the study. Instead, he went up the stairs to the attic.
Was he finally… going to verify the truth?
Mark summoned his courage and opened the door to the attic. The place stank of death.
Even so, he still found the energy to yell, “What the hell are you doing, Jane–Argh! I’m giving you one last chance. If you don’t show up, I’m going to be really angry!”
But he slowly fell silent and walked over to my body before squatting down in front of it.

The attic was stuffy and hot, which caused my body to decompose to the point that I was practically unrecognizable. I had maggots crawling about my skin and rotten flesh.
Mark did not cover his nose like before. Instead, he drew closer to my face.
Then, he flew into a rage.
“Jane, is it fun toying with me?! You sure made this dummy look real! How could you possibly be dead?! I won’t allow you to die!”
As he was throwing his tantrum, I suddenly heard footsteps.
Mark was delighted. “I knew it, Jane! You aren’t dead!”
But his eyes flew wide open a moment later because the people who had come were his
parents.
When Lydia Frank, Mark’s mother, saw the sight, she screamed and fainted.
As for Lewis, he had more experience in the world, but he still could not hold himself back from gagging.
He swung his cane and struck the back of Mark’s knees.
Mark grunted and fell to his knees.
“You monster! You killed Jane?! You killed your own children?!”
Suddenly, Mark yelled like a madman, “This must just be a trick! We were trapped in a hut once, and she gave me all of her food, but she still survived!”
Those words filled my heart with nothing but anguish.
So, he still remembered…
Then, why did he push his own savior to her death?
Lewis flew into a rage and struck Mark’s back repeatedly with his cane.
“You idiot! How could we have given birth to such a fool like you?!”
Mark got annoyed and shouted for the bodyguards to lead his parents away.
When he was alone, Mark started examining my body.
Even though my face had rotted away, and I was no longer recognizable, he touched the dried blood on it.
Suddenly, he saw something, and he trembled in panic.

He turned on his phone and searched for something.
I stood behind him and could see what he was searching for.
