Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )
Chapter 69

Chapter 69

Michael's expression fell. He frowned at Ignatius and remarked, "Can't the Lincolns even keep an eye over a madman?"

Ignatius looked riled as well. Still, he couldn't refute it because firstly, the Fords were an established family in Huma. Besides, Steven was clearly a suspected criminal and a madman, a stain on the Lincoln family name that they desperately wanted to get rid of.

"Watch your attitude." I stood beside Ignatius and addressed Michael sternly. "Who are you calling a

madman?"

Michael fixed a scorching and furious gaze on me. I didn't want to be around him for long, but I felt obliged to speak up for Steven and the Lincoln family.

"Are you the fiancée of that crazy man?" Michael confronted me. "Where is he now?"

"Why do you seem more concerned about my husband than your wife?" I frowned at Michael, feeling disgusted just by talking to him.

Sparing no time to argue with me, he cast me a knowing look and remarked, "No matter how

desperate the Larsons are, they shouldn't send their daughter to hell. Watch out for that madman, or you might end up getting badly hurt."

With that, he turned to leave.

I stood there with a frown and stared at Michael's figure. Then, I cast a quick look upstairs. Steven was at home, that was for sure. If so, who took Yasmin away? Steven had admitted to his guilt when my body was discovered. Why did someone else emerge at this point? Was it an open provocation of the police?

I mused silently, "Is Steven the killer? Or is he a conspirator?"

"Ignore that Ford kid. He's brash and rude." Ignatius snorted and proceeded to introduce me to the

others.

However, I felt rather distracted and unwell. I excused myself, "Grandpa, I feel tired."

Ignatius might not care about my health, but he was concerned about the well-being of his future grandchild. He relented. "Fine. Go upstairs and have a rest."

I nodded and made my way upstairs, only to be stopped by a woman. Young and good-looking, looked like the daughter of a wealthy family.

"Hah, Stephany Larson, you're really something. How did you transform yourself into Mrs. Larson in just a few days?" the woman confronted me with hostility and even shoved me.

I knitted my brows together and looked at the woman, finally recognizing her as Lena Ziegler. In Stephany's memories, Lena was her bully in school.

Lena had led the other classmates to gang up against bet. Misfortune befell the Larsons because of the competition between the Zieglers and the Larson

As John Larson was less capable than his competitor and was tricked into signing a bet on agreement, he struggled with capital chain rupture. That led bit to give his company away

"Do you really think you can climb the social ladder by marrying an shot from the Lincoln family? You should take a look at yourself in the mirror. You'll always be beneath me," taunted Lena with a smirk as she looked at me tauntingly.

18 years ago, I was a princess to my parents before they passed on. My classmates were friendly and caring, and the world seemed perfect.

After my parents died in a car crash, I was sent to live with the Larsons. That was where I had my first taste of what it felt like to live with a foster family. I kept quiet when I was bullied because I didn't

want trouble for the Larsons.

Nonetheless, I had lost my life once because of my cowardice. If 1 remained as cowardly after my rebirth, I might as well stay a spirit.

"Who are you calling an idiot?" I feigned a shocked expression and stared at Lena. "Are you saving that Steven Lincoln is an idiot? Gosh, that's pretty ignorant of you

"Steven Lincoln was once regarded as a genius. Don't you know that he enrolled in advanced classes at the age of ten?"

Hearing that, Lena chuckled sarcastically. "How pathetic of you to bring up these useless facts from years ago! Everyone in Huma knows that Steven Lincoln, an illegitimate child who grew up in an orphanage is a murderous madman."

Looking astonished, I spun around and yelled out to Ignatius, "Grandpa, Lena is starting rumors of Steven, calling him a murderous madman!"
