Chapter 674
Steven couldn't erase memories-he could only seal them away temporarily for various reasons. It was similar
to using electrical stimulation to precisely hide certain memories.
However, everything would come flooding back once triggered.
I opened my eyes abruptly, looking at the ceiling with a quickened breath.
I had regained all my memories-not only that of Steven but those that I never recalled in the past.
Everything would be back to its original track.
"Stephie?" Michael looked at me nervously. He reached out to hug me.
I slapped him almost instinctively, my voice low when I said, "Get out."Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Michael was frozen in place. His gaze at me gradually shifted from concern to fear.
He was probably aware that I had recovered all my memories. 'Stephie...
Iignored him and got off the bed to stretch my arms. I felt comfortable using this body as it perfectly matched
my genes.
I smiled when I saw my reflection in the glass.
Everything was progressing smoothly according to my plan, except for one complication-Steven.
He was so full of himself. Did he really think I would ever love him? Did he think that after sealing off my memories, I'd end up like a fool who only saw love?
What a laughable idiot he was.
"Stephie.." Michael's voice sounded a little wary. He took out a syringe from the bedside drawer and tried to get near me.
He looked like a fool in the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling glass.
I swiftly dodged him and grabbed his wrist. "It's time for you to pay back what you owe me, Michael!" Michael's gaze wavered before subconsciously stepping back in fear. "You... You're Stephanie!"
The "Stephanie" he meant was the one from before I went to his house. It was the Stephanie who never lost her memories.
I rubbed my throbbing head and smiled. 'If it weren't for Steven messing with my memories and tinkering with my mind, do you think I would've been toyed around like a fool by you and Yasmin?"
Ichuckled sardonically as linched closer to Michael. "How devastating, Michael. I never thought I would die in your hands."
Michael had no choice but to back away slowly, his eyes full of fear. The fear he had for me turned into hatred toward me after I lost my memories.
"Are you going to kill me?' He teared up when he saw me pointing the syringe at his neck. Trembling, he said, "You're not Stephie... You're heartless!'
Michael refused to admit that I was Stephie.
Of course, he wouldn't the Stephie they knew was a total fool!
"Kill you?" I chuckled coldly. "I'll be letting you off easy if I kill you."
My gaze turned cold as I stabbed the syringe into Michael's neck. He quickly fell unconscious from the sedatives within.
The door slowly opened, revealing Ashton by the door. He was looking at me with reddening eyes. "Mom." For some reason, I felt an ache in my chest when I looked at him.
"Stop pretending, kid," I said, smiling sarcastically. "The only reason you take me as your mother is because I'm one of you."
Ashton was momentarily stunned. The innocence in his gaze gradually turned cold as he replied, "You're not my mom."
I slowly walked toward him and grabbed his chin. "Tell me where Steven is."
Steven wouldn't be dead. He probably went to deal with the mastermind of Genome Society on his own.
I noticed the sound of a car pulling up downstairs and tensed up. I released Ashton and warily walked over to the window. It was Zion.
"Carol escaped when we were going to identify the Rebels base, Michael. Joel is also missing. Have you contacted Joel?' He was here to check with Michael if he had seen Joel.
First, something happened to Steven. Then, Carol's confession garnered government attention. Now, Joel had gone missing.
smiled.
My true plan had just begun to unfold. Everyone was just a pawn in my plan-myself included.
