Revenge After Death



"Have they been behaving well all this time?" I asked, looking apologetically at Rachel. "I'm sorry for the trouble.'NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Rachel waved a hand dismissively. 'They're extremely well-behaved. I've never seen such obedient children." I could tell that she really liked the kids. It was just that they caused some trouble today.

"You should stop scolding them as well. Even though I think that they did overreact in this matter, they had good intentions just like what Steven said." Rachel smiled as she looked at Ashton.

She then said, "You can't bury someone else alive next time. It's enough to just inform the teachers or scare them, okay?"

Ashton nodded obediently. He then stole a gaze at me, as if worried that I was still angry.

I felt angry and heartbroken as I pulled the kids into my embrace. "I'm not trying to blame both of you. It's just that the way you handled things was really wrong. Every mistake should be met with a balanced punishment. That bully didn't deserve to die, right?

"Besides, it's up to the law to punish those who make mistakes. There are law enforcers in human society. You don't have the right to administer justice as you wish."

"Can I be a law enforcer, then?" Ashton asked, looking at me seriously.

Chuckling, I replied, 'Sure. You should study hard and aim to become a police officer like Zion or Eason, or a coroner like Rachel in the future."

Ashton glanced over at Rachel. 'I want to become a coroner."

"Let me tell you, he's really something!" Rachel looked around before whispering to me in shock, "Do you know what he did? There was a case of a husband killing his wife in our department a few days ago.

"I was stumped, but he glimpsed through the practical report and told me that the killer was the victim's husband. He even pointed out the doubtful points and provided evidence. The case was immediately solved, and I even got a small bonus too.'

I flashed a smile at Ashton. "That's amazing of you! We should let Rachel treat us to dinner with her bonus, then.'

Rachel looked at me disdainfully, muttering. "You're such a cheapskate."

I carried Xan with a smile while Steven took Ashton's hand. We then walked out of the police station together. "What should we have for dinner tonight?" I asked him. "It's on Rach!"

Steven smiled helplessly and said, "I've made reservations. Let's go."

Steven had made a reservation in advance in a high-end and hard-to-book sky restaurant in Huma. I had heard that it had a wonderful ambiance, yet I had never been to the place.

I seemed to recall Michael bringing Yasmin over.

It was Stephanie Carlson's birthday back then, yet Yasmin was the one Michael brought to the restaurant. They were even photographed holding hands by paparazzi.

I wasn't too sure what Michael felt toward Yasmin. Perhaps he had feelings for her. He wouldn't have been so caring otherwise.

But he ultimately thought Stephanie Carlson was the one he loved. What a contradicting person he was.

I only felt pity whenever I thought of Michael now. Even though he was still alive, he was no longer the Michael of the past.

Life could be funny sometimes. One moment, I was feeling pity for him; the next moment, I saw "Michael" as I

was stepping out of the elevator.

He was probably no longer Michael now but Miguel.

He was there with Daisy and even Una.

To be honest, the sight of the three of them together looked peculiar.

They sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows. The waiter walked over and smiled at Daisy, saying, "Your son and daughter-in-law look like a good match, madam.'

Daisy's expression evidently fell before tossing the menu to Miguel. He said nothing, simply making his order with the waiter and only speaking to her once the waiter left.

I couldn't hear what they were talking about as I was farther away. Miguel was probably trying to coax Daisy. The entire scene really felt out of place.

Miquel was now occupying Michael's youthful body while Daisy was slowly aging away.

Her bodily functions were gradually deteriorating. Added to the fact that she was a first-generation experimental subject and technology back then wasn't as advanced.

That was why Daisy took Una away from Nancy and kept Una by her side.

I took a sharp breath. Now that I thought about it, the reason Nancy adopted Una as her daughter was probably also to prepare a backup body for herself.

These people were truly terrifying. They all yearned for immortality.

Steven had also seen the peculiar family seated by the windows. His expression fell as he took my hand, wanting to leave.

"Isn't that Michael? He's looking pretty decent now. I wonder if he was threatened by his mother,' Rachel said disdainfully when she spotted them.

Her voice was a little too loud. It made Daisy and the others look over.
