Revenge After Death

Was Stephanie’s life or Yasmin’s emotions more important?

Michael clenched his hands tightly and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, “I’ll go upstairs and talk to her. But just to be clear, this has nothing to do with her, so she has no obligation.

He was still protecting Yasmin.

“Nothing to do with her?” I exclaimed and couldn’t help laughing at his words again.

“How could you say that it has nothing to do with her? It was her who lured me there. She was the one who tricked me into the hands of the murderer!” I shouted at Michael, but he couldn’t hear me at all.

He never wanted to hear what I said when I was alive, let alone now that I was dead.

“Stephanie… It’s sad that you’ve fallen in love with such a man,” muttered Zion to himself after Michael left.

Yes, falling in love with such a person was truly pathetic of me. Everyone could see how pitiful I was. Loving him was my greatest regret, but as time passed, my heart had become numb. It wouldn’t hurt as much as before.

Who said love wouldn’t fade? It would, once there was enough disappointment accumulated. Love would disappear once the person had tasted enough despair.

It’d be their own fault if the person continued to love the other blindly even after all that misery.

I loved Michael, and I lost my life because of that. What else was there to love him for?

Michael went to Yasmin’s room and soon came out.

He shook his head at Zion and said, “Sorry, Yasmin’s emotions are very unstable now…”

“Michael, let me talk to her. This is a matter of life and death. Every moment delayed…” said Zion anxiously. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Nonetheless, he knew he had no authority to rush things. From any legal perspective, Yasmin had no obligation to cooperate, but he knew that she was definitely related to my incident.

“I’m sorry, I can’t let you further upset her,” said Michael, insisting on protecting Yasmin.

Zion furrowed his brows and said, “Do you know that Yasmin called Stephanie three hours before she went missing?

Originally, Zion didn’t want to mention this. After all, this was an ongoing investigation, and he couldn’t speculate arbitrarily.

Michael frowned and looked at the officer, asking, “Officer Landon, what do you

mean?

Zion explained, “There was a call from an unknown number three hours before Stephanie went

missing. Because Stephanie hadn’t saved the number, we didn’t pay much attention to it during the investigation

“But yesterday, I had someone look into the number, and the number belonged to Yasmin’s best friend. My colleague asked her about it, and she said she never called Stephanie. But Yasmin did borrow her phone that day. So, the caller might have been Yasmin.”

“According to your words, Yasmin might have called her, and you can’t confirm that!”

Michael was desperately hiding something, or perhaps he was afraid of something.

I burst into laughter after seeing his evasive behavior. “It was her.

“I’ve instructed the IT department to recover the call recordings from Stephanie’s phone. It’s the process, but when the recordings are ready, the truth will come to light,” said Zion lightly.

“I’m actually glad that Stephanie was quick to react,” he added.

I took a deep breath. After knowing that Yasmin had called me, I immediately decided to record the conversation. I didn’t trust her and wanted to gather evidence, proving that I had always been repaying Michael’s favors.

I just didn’t expect that one day, it would become crucial evidence in my death investigation.

With furrowed brows, Michael looked at Zion and answered, “Then you shouldn’t have made wild. guesses before you have the evidence!”

“You know deep down whether I’m making speculations or not. Stephanie appeared at Sunset Alley. on the 15th, but none of you were aware of it. Don’t you find it strange and suspicious?”
