Early that morning , social media was flooded with news about " Professor Mathias Tromley's Break- through , First - Ever Post - Mortem Memory Extraction . " The headlines announced that at 10:30 a.m. , Mathias would unveil this miracle to the world . My dad and Felix saw the news , but they barely glanced at it - they were too busy with wedding prepa- rations . It was bad enough that Lydia wore my wedding dress , but now the entire venue was decorated using de- signs I'd created . My dad and Felix both knew those were my sketches , yet they still went along with it . " Shameless! " I fumed . If I weren't such a rookie at being a ghost , I'd have staged a full - on resurrection right there and then ! My dad had no idea I was right beside him . He was busy instructing security . " If you see Eileen Mar- nell , don't let her in under any circumstances ! " I wanted to scratch someone . " As if I'd show up even if you begged me ! Who do you think you are ? " Felix turned to Sasha , who'd come for the wedding . " I'll explain everything to Eileen after I marry Ly- dia . She'll understand , I'm sure . " I wanted to punch him . " Understand my ass ! " Tears welled up in Sasha's eyes , and she snapped , " You're both ... unbelievable ! " " Don't cry , Sasha . It breaks my heart ! " I called out , forgetting my anger in my worry for her . I reached to wipe her tears , but my hand passed right through - I had no body , no way to comfort her . Through her tears , Sasha pulled out her phone and held it up to my dad and Felix . On the screen was the livestream of the press conference . There I was - my corpse , eyes tightly shut , skin ashen and lifeless . Sasha had dressed me in my favorite floral sundress . But I was so thin , just skin stretched over bone , I looked more haunting than beautiful - nothing like the 0.0 % 09:22 Chapter 3 288 Vouchers person I used to be . Choking back sobs , Sasha said , " Maybe it's better that Eileen's gone . At least she doesn't have to put up with your crap anymore .

He finally managed to croak , " Eileen's death has nothing to do with Lydia . Why bring this up at Lydia's wedding ? Don't you know she's depressed ? She can't handle this kind of shock . " Even in death , Eileen can't give me a moment's peace . She never measured up to Lydia in any way ! " Crash ! Felix dropped the bouquet he was holding , not even bothering to pick it up . He stared straight at Sasha's phone , gripping the table for support , barely managing to stay upright . But he quickly composed himself . " Let's talk about Eileen's funeral after the wedding . We can't let her death ruin Lydia's day . Lydia shouldn't have to suffer because of this . " I'd always known they were biased , but I never imagined they'd take it this far . My life didn't even matter as much as Lydia's wedding .... Sasha was shaking with rage . " Wedding , wedding ! To hell with your damn wedding ! " She flipped over two tables beside her . Food and drinks crashed to the floor , chaos erupting all around . Ignoring my dad and Felix as they tried to stop her , Sasha ran up to the stage and cast the livestream onto the giant screen .
