She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 401: Wearing the Clothes of the Dead

As high school approached, Layne feared that her outstanding granddaughter would attract unwanted attention. So, she encouraged Malaya to continue pretending to be a bully.

The smile vanished from Malaya’s face.

Did Cheyenne find out?

The clothes were scavenged from a second-hand market by the household staff, who said they were taken from deceased patients in nearby hospitals.

Most of these people had contagious diseases and no one to claim their bodies. They were hastily cremated to dispose of them.

When she sent the staff to buy the clothes, she had been discreet about it. She was afraid that if the matter got out, it would tarnish the “kind-hearted” image she had carefully built for herself. But how did Cheyenne find out?

One day, after wearing a black cotton coat, she felt completely uncomfortable. She walked down the street feeling dizzy and lightheaded. Accidentally, someone bumped into her.

His scissors tore through her coat, causing dirty, bloody clumps of cotton to fall out, emitting a nauseating smell.

People around her looked at her with disgust and disdain, covering their noses as they walked away from her.

From that day on, rumors spread through the campus about Cheyenne’s unkempt appearance. Everyone assumed she had accidentally stained her clothes during her menstrual cycle, even dying the cotton inside the coat red.

For young girls just starting junior high, many were naïve about such matters. Cheyenne was shocked when she first discovered bloodied cotton inside her coat.
