Vanity Can Kill
Remi said faintly, "I still remember the agency explaining the contract to me, and my palms were sweating all the time."
Finally, when the agency finished talking about the contract, she had no reason to procrastinate any longer.
Remi took the excuse of answering the phone, went to the side to operate the mobile phone, and borrowed 10,000 from the loan shark.
"At that time, usury was easy to borrow money, but if the money was not repaid, they would really dare to kill you."
"But I didn't care too much, and finally transferred the money at the last moment."
At that moment, the agency's respect for her was the same as the store manager's attitude towards her best friend!
The uneasiness and fear of having just borrowed from usury were instantly replaced by this sense of dignity.
"At that time, being able to live in a fancy apartment building was an existence that everyone admired..."
Even that night, she just ate instant noodles in a high-end apartment.
Susie asked curiously, "Then since your good friend is so rich, why don't you borrow it from her?"
Remi immediately said, "That won't work! The reason why we were friends was that she thought I was pure and simple."
She once lied that her parents were seriously ill at home, so she needed to work hard over time, and she also said things like 'As long as my parents are good, it doesn't matter how hard or tired I am'.
So it was impossible for her to borrow money from her best friend.
Once her best friend knew that she had borrowed money to live in a fancy apartment, she would definitely be disappointed in her and stop being friends with her.
Then where else would she go for nice clothes and bags?
Mitch thought of Mia and finally understood why the vanity ghost insisted on haunting Mia.
"Because they are the same kind of people, not only extremely vain but also extremely hypocritical."
Remi continued, "Since I’ve lived in that apartment, it was impossible for me to go to work in a printing factory. This was not in line with my current status."
It had to be a decent job to be worthy of her.
However, she had no academic qualifications, skills, or experience, so she couldn't apply for a decent white-collar job at all.
"Then I saw a public institution recruiting temporary workers. They saw that I was kind, pitiful, and sincere, so they recruited me."
Mitch scoffed, kind, pitiful, and sincere? All were fake.
"Everything was good about this job, it was decent, and it didn't need to be exposed to the wind and the sun. Once you talked about it, others would be very envious."
The only bad thing was that the monthly salary was only 500 dollars.
Yes, the reason why Remi was hired was entire because the wages of temporary workers were too low, so she successfully applied for the job.
With a decent job and a decent residence, she wore designer clothes and bags every day.
Even if the usury burden was getting heavier, even if a pack of instant noodles was broken into two meals.
But she had become the envy of everyone!
Soon this couldn't satisfy her vanity, until one day she inadvertently revealed that she was the daughter of the president of a big company, and she came to work to experience life.
Inadvertently people found a photo of her and her best friend's father.
Yes, she pretended to be a best friend.
"It’s so good to be rich. If I was the daughter of that rich family, then they all knew that my now identity was fake, but no one came to check on me."
She only knew how amazing life could be when using the identity of her best friend!
Everyone came to flatter her, everyone!
She generously treated people to dinner, gave others clothes she "didn't want", and took others to go shopping.
She really became a rich lady.
Susie listened carefully, and asked, "So, you're bragging so much that you bloated to death?"
Remi was choked by her naive thought.
She said faintly, "I always thought that my bestie gave me clothes because she was kind to me."
"But when I copied her and gave the clothes to others, I realized how much superiority she could feel!"
Remi sneered, "So there must be some other purpose for her to treat me so well. She just used me to set off her sense of superiority."
Susie frowned, "How did you know that?"
Remi looked contemptuously in his eyes, "When I gave away unwanted clothes to others, I saw the surprised and thankful faces, and I felt contemptuous in my heart, these country bumpkins were only worthy of picking up my leftovers."
“She must have thought the same way when she gave me old clothes, otherwise she was so rich, why wouldn't she just buy me new ones?"
Susie and Mitch were speechless.
Susie was so young that even she felt it was wrong to think this way, but Remi insisted on it.
Mitch asked lightly, "So you just killed her?"
Among the eighteen bones buried under the playground, one was different from the others.
Remi's eyes became crazy, "Kill her, so I can become her, kill her, I can replace her."
"Why was this world so unfair? Why was she born with a silver spoon in her mouth, I have been picking up other people's clothes since I was a child!"
"I should be rich. I was tired of being humiliated when being chased by loan sharks. I was tired of the days of constantly finding other lies to cover up lies."
The madness of loan sharks was beyond her imagination. They really dared to come to her door and put machetes on her neck!
She could do nothing and she was also forced!
She only borrowed 10,000 at the beginning, but in the end, she owed a million for some unknown reason.
Only one way left, to kill the best friend and sneak in to coax her parents and finally completely replace her.
Only then could she repay the usury and live a carefree life!
Susie shook her head and sighed, "You are crazy!"
Mitch said coldly, "And then?"
Remi's eyes were a little dull, and she murmured, "After killing my best friend, I treated her parents as my own, coaxed them every day, and hoped for them to come out of their sadness."
"But they didn't appreciate it at all. I tried so hard to please them, but they didn't treat me like their daughter at all."
"They even sent me to the loan sharks themselves, just because they found out that I killed my best friend! How could they be so cruel?"
They could call the police and arrest her.
Why send her to the usury?
They clearly knew that loan sharks would kill people without blinking an eye!
Susie suddenly realized, "So that's how you died! But why are you so inflated!"
Susie looked at the fat aunt suspiciously.
The fat aunt was really fat, her skin was blown like a balloon.
Remi suddenly got irritable, and roared with red eyes, "They dragged me back to the printing factory, stuffed me into the machine, and tortured me over and over, and they even held the machine to my mouth!"
They laughed and said, “You like bragging huh?
So they blew her up like a balloon and ignored her pleas or her despair.
"They kept blowing until my vessels exploded, and burst the blood plasma."
"Until all my blood was gone and the blood became the red ink to print books."
Until she died, she was still treated as a rubber ball, which inflated ten times its original size, and finally burst with a bang, like a balloon.
Remi was manic and couldn't stop crying, "How could they do this? I was also very pitiful!"
"Even if I did something wrong, it was my girlfriend who humiliated me first with old clothes and bags!"
"I also regret killing my best friend! Since it was impossible for the dead to come back, why couldn't they just treat me as her?"
"Do they know how I lived these years? I repeated the death process over and over again, screaming day and night, blood splattering everywhere! But no one could hear it!"
