Revenge After Death

I was trapped in the Lincoln family’s villa for about 13 days. Every day, I kept thinking about the murderer’s motive, path, method, and all possibilities.

I heard vaguely from the helpers of the Lincoln family that the murder case had been closed.

Although Steven surrendered, the Lincoln family balled him out and trapped him at home by using his mental problems as an excuse.

I knew he wasn’t the only perpetrator. At the very least, my murderer was someone else.

I was sure that there must be some kind of relationship between him and the person who killed me.

But after so many days, I didn’t manage to get any clues from him.

Perhaps he was too good at pretending. He did nothing but stare at me in a daze every day.

I wrote on a sheet of paper, analyzing the murderer’s motive and all the suspicious points in my

memories.

I wanted to help Zion catch the murderer. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

If the murderer wanted to kill the girls who got adopted and left the orphanage, the only survivor of those girls in red dresses was Yasmin.

“Ms. Larson, Mr. James wants to see you,” The nanny knocked on the door and asked me to go over.

This morning, I handed a pregnancy test strip with two lines to the nanny. James should be looking for me regarding this matter.

Steven was right. As long as I was pregnant, I could get out.

The nanny waited outside the door while I changed my clothes. When I left, Steven didn’t say anything.

“You…” Upon walking to the door, I looked back at him.

Forget it. Before I found out the truth, it was safest for him to remain locked up by the Lincoln family. What if he went out to kill people again?

I had never really been able to trust him.

“I’ll find you…” As I was walking outside, I vaguely heard Steven say that.

When I looked back, the nanny had already closed the door and was locking several big locks.

“Isn’t this too exaggerated?” I asked.

The nanny whispered, “Ms. Larson, you’re truly impressive for being able to stay in there with him for so long. You have no idea how scary he is… He has killed people!”

She looked around hesitatingly before continuing, “Mr. Lincoln Senior has found women for him before. You’re the luckiest. The others have been scared crazy.”

I ignored her words, not caring about the Lincoln family’s birth plan.

Arriving in the living room on the first floor, I saw James on the couch. Ignatius was also there.

“Is she pregnant?” Ignatius spoke first.

“It seems to be the case…” The nanny handed him the pregnancy test strip that showed two lines,

He didn’t look at it. “Take Stephie to have her blood drawn. Let Dr. Adrian check on her.”

I kept my head down and didn’t speak to avoid saying anything wrong.

“Dr. Adrian said that you need to draw blood to check your HCG levels. You also need to take a B- ultrasound. The conditions at home are limited. It’s best to do it in the hospital.”

I breathed a sigh of relief. Once at the hospital, I had a chance to escape.

Ignatius was in a good mood and looked at me. “Go ahead. Be careful.”

I nodded and still didn’t speak.

He then looked at James. “Stephie is a blessed one. You must treat the child as yours after it’s born.”

James smiled and nodded. “Yes, Dad.”

I lowered my head and sneered secretly. How could James treat the child of others as his own?

“Take care of Stephie well. She’s now our hero,” Ignatius said happily.

“About my family…” I asked tentatively, fearing that others would suspect I wasn’t the actual Stephany.

The reason why Stephany came to the Lincoln family was to help Larson Group tide over the difficulties. If I ignored the Larson family, they would be suspicious of me.

Ignatius said nothing while James said unhappily, “That’s none of your business. Your family will get their benefits once the child is born safely.”

I nodded and left with the nanny.
