“The auspicious time has arrived.”
“Please welcome the groom
11
Everyone’s eyes turned to the corridor leading
to the back hall.
Livia also looked forward with anticipation,
lifting her skirt, ready to welcome the groom.
Prescott Landis was still wearing that black
suit, but his expression was colder than ever.

In his hands, he was not holding flowers, but
a black wooden spirit tablet.
The center of the spirit tablet was written
with three words Prescott Landis!
Next to the spirit tablet was an enlarged
black and white photo.
The boy in the photo looked exactly like
Prescott Landis!
Livia’s smile froze on her face.
The color quickly drained from her face,
turning it pale.
“Prescott…”
L
Her voice was trembling, with a hint of terror.
“What… what’s going on?”
“Who is he?”
Prescott Landis walked up to her and stared
at her coldly. “Prescott, is my twin brother
who died in a car accident a year ago.

“The master said that he died too young and
his resentment has not dissipated, so he
needs a spirit marriage to rest in peace in the
underworld.”
His words stabbed harshly into Livia’s heart.
“That day on the roadside, you selflessly
saved me.”

“At that moment, I knew that you were the
bride chosen by heaven for Prescott.”
“Livia,” he lowered his head slightly and
whispered in her ear, “Thank you for
becoming my brother’s wife.”
Boom!
The last nerve in Livia’s mind snapped.
She screamed, her legs went weak, and she
collapsed to the ground.
I stood in the corner of the crowd, coldly
watching her being picked up by two
bodyguards, dragging her like a dead dog
toward the back hall,
Her desperate cries and curses echoed in the
empty hall, and were finally completely cut off
by a heavy mahogany door.

Prescott straightened his cuffs, walked up to
me, and nodded slightly. “Ms. Monroe, thank
you for coming to the ceremony.”
“You’re welcome.” I returned a smile.
“Congratulations, Mr. Landis, on putting an
end to a matter of concern.”
He gave me a deep look, his eyes complex
and inscrutable.

After the engagement party, Livia
disappeared from the face of the earth.
Her phone was switched off, and her social
media remained forever frozen on that post
showing off her engagement.
The bridesmaids who had gone with her were
silenced by the Landis family, so frightened
that they ran back home and never mentioned
the matter again.
To the outside world, it seemed that a
wealthy wife should no longer show her face
