My Whole Family Faked Their Deaths

chapter 3

That's ten million dollars. An average person couldn't make that in a lifetime.

At first, everyone looked at me with pity, thinking I was about to become an orphan and wondering how I would manage my life afterward.

Now everyone's eyes are filled with jealousy and greed.

For an orphan like me, suddenly holding ten million dollars is like carrying a piece of fresh meat into a pack of wolves.

Everyone's probably scheming how to get money out of me.

I know exactly what these people are thinking.

I rubbed my eyes, making them look swollen and bloodshot, as if I had just been crying.

I took two steps forward and said to Henry, "Since my dad's heart can save someone, then go ahead and take it. He loved doing good deeds when he was alive, always donating money. If he knew he could save someone, he'd definitely be very happy."

I then said to all the relatives, "You are all my elders, and this matter has troubled you a lot. After my parents and sister are buried, I'll take out $1 million from the money given by the tycoon to cover grandma's retirement and my college expenses."

"The remaining money, I will divide equally among everyone as a token of gratitude for your hard work."

There were only a dozen or so relatives present, and splitting it evenly, each could get seven to eight hundred thousand dollars.

This is practically a windfall.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a moment, someone finally stepped forward and said, "Since you've said so, we won't hold back."

"Now we need to take the bodies to the hospital for organ retrieval, right? Everyone, lend a hand and help carry them up!"

The relatives helped lift the person along with the coffin onto the vehicle. Nearby media reporters recorded the entire process, broadcasting the scene live.

Netizens also started buzzing with discussions.

[Oh my god, a single heart is worth ten million dollars? I've never seen that much money in my life!]

[Bruce is the richest man. His assets exceed billions of dollars, so this amount is nothing to him.]

[I initially thought she was quite pitiful, losing her parents and sister, leaving her all alone. I didn't expect the plot twist to come so quickly.]

[And she's not greedy either. Her grandma is so old, and she still has to go to school. She only took a million dollars and gave the rest to her relatives. No matter what, for the sake of the money, these relatives should help them out with things now and then.]

[She's pretty smart.]

Daisy and Tessa stood aside, completely stunned.

Daisy anxiously pushed Tessa. "Go stop them! You can't really let them take your brother's heart!"

Tessa watched the busy crowd in front of her, but she had her own plans in mind.

She had originally agreed to help Aaron get a fake death certificate and secretly send them abroad. Aaron promised her $200,000, enough for her to study in Germany.

If Aaron's heart was really taken, as his sister, she should be able to get nearly a million dollars.

This was much more cost-effective than $200,000.

Having made up her mind, she let out a cold smile and reassured Daisy, "Mom, there are so many people here now, and cameras are recording. Rushing in to stop them will only cause trouble. Let them take him to the hospital first. Once we're there, I'll figure out a way to help Aaron escape."

Daisy was extremely anxious, but hearing this, she could only nod reluctantly. "You must hurry to the hospital and stay with him! Make sure nothing really happens to him!"

Tessa said, "Don't worry, Mom."

After sending Aaron to the hospital, Daisy initially wanted to persuade the relatives to go home and rest.

After all, there were still two living people lying in the ice coffin, and they definitely wouldn't be able to endure it.

But the relatives were unwilling to leave, insisting on staying.

"We didn't do much, but took so much money, we really feel bad about it. Let us stay a bit longer, at least to show some care."

"Exactly, we didn't do much but took so much money, it feels uneasy. You go rest first, we'll take care of things here."

The group half-persuaded and half-forced Daisy back to her room, then grabbed a few stools, sat down, and started chatting.

"Everyone, have some coffee. Thanks for your hard work tonight." I brewed a pot of coffee and poured a cup for everyone present to help them stay alert.

After all, in the middle of the night, you never know if something might suddenly pop out.

I glanced at the two people in the ice coffin and smiled subtly.

The internet is flooded with news about the richest man spending ten million dollars for his sons heart transplant.

Im really curious about what Tessa can do to make my dad leave.

Chatting made time fly. At dawn, the crematorium sent a vehicle to pick up the bodies.

Relatives got up one after another to help, lifting Dianna and Kate onto the vehicle.

Daisy wanted to stop them but didnt know what to say.

Tessa wasnt by her side at the moment, so no matter how anxious she was, she could only watch as Dianna and Kate were sent into the cremation furnace.

"Can't cremate, can't cremate," she muttered incessantly, her eyes fixed on the cremation furnace.

"Grandma, what are you saying?" I turned my head to look. "This is the highest standard I specially arrangedone person per furnace, clean and dignified. After it's done, we can even go in and pick out the ashes ourselves."

"When my dad's surgery is over, it'll be the same process."

"Can't cremate!" Her voice was small, only I could hear it. "They're not even dead yet!"

I didn't respond, just smiled faintly.

I thought, "Facing death already, and they still won't get up?"

At that moment, the crematorium staff ran out screaming.

Closely following behind the staff were Dianna and Kate.

Their faces were smudged with ash, hair slightly messy, looking both disheveled and comical.

The relatives who followed instinctively wanted to run but abruptly stopped, probably thinking about those hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A bold relative stepped forward and asked, "What on earth is going on? Are they dead or not?"

"Of course, I'm not dead!" Kate couldn't hold back and shouted first, "You just stood there watching us being sent for cremation?"

Someone tentatively picked up a small stone and threw it, hitting Dianna's shoulder. Only after hearing a cry of pain did they feel relieved.

"It hurts! She's really alive!"

"This is coming back to life!"
