Report
On one mid-autumn day, my national classified mission finally came to an end. I dug out the phone I hadn't touched for four years, planning to call my wife, Nora Christie, and tell her that I'd be coming home. But the moment my phone screen lit up, I saw a public court notice declaring me… dead. I froze. Then, I looked closer. The person who had filed the petition to have me legally declared dead was Nora. Frowning with confusion, I dialed her number. With a soft chuckle, she brushed it off, saying that it must have been a clerical error by some court intern. Then, she asked when I would be coming home. Just when I was about to answer, I heard a soft, restrained moan from Nora. "Ah, don't touch me there…" Realizing something wasn't right, I told her that I would be back in a few more years before hanging up. Then, I grabbed the medal I had earned from four years of service to my country, and took the next train home. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw when I arrived. Right outside my front door, Nora was holding a wedding ceremony. The groom was Henry Crowley, the poor student I had sponsored!

Declared Dead, Replaced by a Fraud Chapter 8
It all started when, during one of my sponsorships, I casually told Henry to buy himself a new pair of shoes.It hurt his fragile self-esteem, and he thought I was looking down on him.He long harbored the thought of taking everything I have away from me. Acting like a mentally impaired person was just his way of slowly stealing all of my assets.He later found out that Nora despised my burnt scars, so he deliberately tried to get close to her.Two people with the same intentions hit it off immediately.I touched my wounds and watched the two ungrateful traitors who completely turned on each other, as they disappeared from my sight along with the wailing police sirens.…I was in the hospital for a month until I fully recovered.During the month, the police told me multiple times that Nora wanted to see me, but I refused. I no longer wanted anything to do with her in this life.At court, I only applied to get my declaration of death revoked. As for my marriage to Nora, since

"What the hell is wrong with you people? Didn't I already say that this woman donated all of her assets to me for free? Why won't you allow me to transfer them to another account? I don't care about your rules! You must get me the money at once!"Henry, who was just beaten badly by the guards, did not even change out of his bloodstained suit.He was standing by the bank counter, maliciously yelling at the bank staff. The woman next to him looked on anxiously."Don't tell me the bank is trying to take our money? Why can't we take out the money that's under our name?"Two police officers guarded the entrance to stop Henry from running.Just when they were in place, I let Nora rush inside. The bloodstained wedding gown made her seem like a bride from a horror movie.She slapped Henry right on the face."Is that your money? You pretended to be an idiot to ruin my marriage. Now you've even got another woman? You monster!"When Henry saw the police officers surrounding him, he knew t

"John, you went to North Westonia for air defense research. You're a specially recruited talent. Why didn't you tell me? This is all a misunderstanding. If I knew about it, I wouldn't have."I frowned and interrupted her, "No matter who I was or what I was doing in North Westonia, as my wife, you shouldn't have lied and declared me dead, nor transferred away my assets and hurt my family."Seeing her miserably pale face, I added, "The only reason you've ended up like this today is because of your bad character. You have long wanted to cheat on our marriage. It has nothing to do with me."Nora sobbed hard and kept trying to explain herself, "No. I was just repaying Henry for saving my life. He's just like a five-year-old child. He just wanted to have a wedding with me. I just thought of secretly doing this before you return. My intentions weren't bad."Hearing her still twisting the truth and brushing off all her faults so lightly, I exposed everything directly in front of the guests

Nora clutched her face, standing frozen in disbelief."What? J-John's actually an air defense expert? T-This is impossible." She shook her head violently, ignoring her composure.Wesley grabbed her by the wedding gown and bellowed, "It is! That's John! For the development of national air defense, he was willing to stay in the North Westonia desert for four years. Even when his burn wounds became infected, he never left his post!"He continued yelling at her, "Where is he! Bring him to me immediately!"The guests were in disbelief to see such a turn of events. Some even secretly live-streamed the entire incident.Nora swept a glance at the window where I was, terrified and panicked.She shuddered and said tremblingly, "M-Mayor W-Walton, there must be a misunderstanding! Today's my wedding day! You have always been looking out for Henry. Can we talk in private?"Wesley snickered and slapped her again. Not satisfied, he even kicked her in the chest."Looking after who? That idiot?

Overwhelmed with rage, I coughed out a mouthful of blood."Nora! Henry isn't mentally impaired! You will regret everything you have done today!"Henry, who was pretending to be a five-year-old, clapped and cheered."Serves her right! That old witch yelled at me and wouldn't let me kiss my wife!"

Along the corridor walls, the only photo of Nora and me disappeared without a trace.In its place were wedding photos of her and Henry in all kinds of intimate poses.The decorative paintings I carefully selected were replaced by Henry's childish scribbles.The antique ornaments left behind by my

Nora said, "Henry suddenly said a few days ago that he wanted to be a groom. I was just trying to help him recover quickly. Don't worry, once we're registered and done with the wedding, I'll immediately apply to the court to revoke the declaration of your death and restore our marriage."I let out

Their wedding portrait was displayed right at the entrance of my mansion.In the portrait, Nora Christie, my wife, was in a low-cut mermaid gown, leaning intimately into the arms of Henry Crowley, once a poor student I sponsored.With darkened expressions, I was just about to step in to demand an
