REVENGE AFTER DEATH - Season 2 Episode 78

Steven’s fingers stiffened as he looked at me. “Steve doesn’t lie. Stephie lies.”

My heart skipped a beat, and I shifted my glance elsewhere, feeling somewhat guilty.

Was he implying that he’d never lied, whereas I was the one who lied a lot?

When did I ever lie to him?

When we stepped out of the abandoned asylum, we saw a flood of reporters and onlookers gathered at the entrance.

The crowd surrounded Michael and were asking him why he, the president of the Ford Group, was involved in an abduction and illegal activities.

But Michael merely got into the car with a solemn face. “No comment,” he said.

Obviously, the reporters were here for Michael. If the media reported this, it would definitely have an impact on the Ford Group.

Then, Michael gave me a cold stare and silently left with the police.

“The president of the Ford Group was involved in an abduction!”

“Why did he do that?”

The reporters murmured among themselves while the onlookers commented that Michael had gone mad.

The Ford Group’s stock price would be severely impacted if this news got out.

Did Michael offend someone?

I suspiciously looked at Steven. “Did you do this?”

Steven remained silent, tacitly admitting his involvement.

It seemed as if he was a bad liar, so he chose to stay silent instead.

“The Ford family is in for a ride now.” Zion sighed and gave me a glance before getting

into his car. “If Michael is charged with abduction, the Fords might want to settle this with you in private. It’s your call.”

I was startled.

If someone from the Ford family wanted to meet me to discuss Michael’s matter, it would definitely be Aunty Lois

I might show no mercy to Michael, but I might not be able to do the same to Aunty Lols.

I got into Ewan’s car. Then, after a moment of hesitation, I decided to ask Steven, “Are you trying to ruin Michael’s life?”

How could he possibly do that?

“No.” Steven shook his head. “I want him dead.”

Steven’s eyes glinted with murderous intent when he said this.

The news of Michael being taken away by the police spread like wildfire and soon reached. the ears of the Ford family.

When Aunty Lois came to the Lincoln residence to see me, I noticed that she had significantly aged.

I’d heard that after my death, Aunty Lois was so grief–stricken that she fell ill and had been recuperating at the Georgeke.

This time, however, she specifically came back for Michael.

The Fords‘ legal team was formidable. Although the abduction charge might not hold, Michael’s unlawful restriction of my freedom still constituted a crime.

I knew Aunty Lois had come to have me sign a release form to salvage Michael’s

reputation and mitigate the impact on the company.

“Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Ford is here.” The nanny led Aunty Lois to the living room.

My fingers tightened as I calmly remained seated.

When Aunty Lois saw me, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth in disbelief as her eyes.

reddened.

As much as I wanted to comfort her, I couldn’t.

I was not Stephanie Carlson anymore. I was just a stranger with no connection to her.

“Please excuse me… Ms. Larson. You look very much like my daughter.” Aunty Lols was

choked with emotion.

She always told me and everyone else that I was her daughter.

I knew Aunty Lois truly and dearly loved me, but… I didn’t want to let Michael off the hook again.

“Ms. Larson, I know what Michael did was rather rude and inappropriate. Please… let us know what we can do to compensate you,” Aunty Lois pleaded softly.

“You’re responsible for his poor upbringing. Just how long do you think you can clean up his messes for him?” I said firmly.

This time, I wouldn’t let Michael off so easily.

I wanted him punished. Even if his legal team could get him a 15–day detention, so be it.

Aunty Lois was silent for a while before speaking, “After my daughter, Stephie, passed away, Mike has been somewhat unhinged. But this is his karma… for lying to Stephie and himself for so many years. He told me that you were a close friend of Stephie’s and that Stephie confided everything in you?”

I frowned as I looked at Aunty Lois. “You mentioned Michael lied to Stephanie. What did he lie about?”

“In that car accident involving the Carlsons… The person who saved Stephanie and her parents wasn’t Mike,” Aunty Lois said.
