Revenge After Death



I said, 'You mentioned that the Rebels were founded by my parents and Andy. But considering Andy's willingness to sacrifice his loved one, he didn't look like he had a falling out with the Genome Society."

I wondered what caused the rift between Andy and Genome Society back then.

"To be exact, the Rebels were founded with the investments of your parents, Andy, and also Mr. Ford. He had always been supporting your parents from behind the scenes."

Inodded. The financial power of Genome Society was not easily shaken. Similarly, substantial funding is needed to support the Rebels.

"Go tell the Rebels that I'm back, Ms. Ewing. The faster the news spread, the better," I looked at Ms. Ewing and said after a moment of silence.

She felt perplexed. 'Didn't you say that the Rebels are all Carol's men now, miss?'

"Carol wants me dead, and Genome Society wants to capture me for research. The more dangerous my situation, the higher the chance he'll expose himself." I got up and looked out the window.

Since Steven had cared for me so much and wanted me to live my life in hiding, then I'd announce to everyone that I was back.

Didn't he arrogantly want to hide away and sacrifice himself in order to complete my plan for me? I'd like to see how long he could keep it up.

Ms. Ewing nodded before turning to leave.

I stood by the window and frowned when I saw Michael driving back. Why did he come back?

Why was he back despite knowing that "Stephanie" was dead? Was he looking for trouble? I felt annoyed seeing him now.

"We're done acting now. You don't have to come back here after work." I walked over to the entrance, reminding him to leave.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Michael wasn't looking good either when he snorted. 'I won't go back on my words when I've promised Steven to protect the three of you.

"I've always maintained that I live here, and everyone knows my fiancée lives here. Genome Society will start suspecting something if I suddenly stop coming back."

He was worried that I might be found out by Genome Society.

I chuckled. "You're overthinking it. Genome Society will find out that I'm Stephanie soon. I'm back now!"

Michael's expression changed. He looked at me anxiously and yelled, "You're crazy, Stephanie! Steven went to such lengths to keep everything under wraps, yet you..."

His voice trembled, perhaps out of anger at me.

"You're really..." He felt like what Steven had done was in vain. "He sacrificed so much just to protect you. Do you know that he's now..

I clenched my fists subconsciously and looked at Michael coldly. "I've given you a chance to tell me where he

"He's dead!" he yelled, losing control of his emotions.

My eyes reddened as I grabbed at Michael's collar. 'He can't be dead!"

"I'm not lying to you. He wouldn't be able to deceive Genome Society if he didn't die. The police have also collected residual DNA from his body at the scene,' he said hoarsely, lowering his head.

I pushed him away, refusing to believe him. "I don't believe you."

Surely, Steven wouldn't die.

"You're thinking that he would eventually show up if you continue to expose yourself to danger, right?' Michael chuckled bitterly. "We're the same, Stephanie. We only realized how precious something is after we

lost it.'

What I was doing was similar to how he tried to lure me out by getting engaged to Yasmin back then. What was the point of realizing something's value only after you had lost it?
