Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 900

Dalores had no time to get out of the way.

The truck rammed into her car, sending it toppling a few meters away.

The oil tank was punctured in the process, and gasoline steadily flowed out of the vehicle and onto the road. In the next second, a loud explosion occurred, and the car was ablaze. Dark smoke billowed into the night sky as the pungent smell of burning spread in the air.

The other cars screeched to a halt, and several burly men in black suits approached the scene to assess the situation. Dalores was stuck inside the car and her head was bleeding. She lay in a coma, surrounded by raging flames.

The next day.

Brandon had just finished breakfast and was reading the newspaper on the sofa when he received a call from Sean.

Brandon listened for a while what Sean had to say and hung up the phone. He placed it on the table and resumed reading his paper.

"What happened?" Janet snaked her arm around his and looked up at him with wide, expectant eyes.

"Dalores is dead."

She let out a gasp. "What? How come?"

Brandon's tone was cold and methodical. He put down his newspaper to lean over and peck her lips. "This is actually a good thing for her."

But Janet was unsettled. She didn't expect Dalores to die from an accident, and so suddenly, too.
