Revenge After Death

Chapter 709

My phone rang. I glanced over and saw that it was from Cole.

I had asked him to keep watch on Rachel. I wasn't expecting results to come in so fast. "Hello?"

Cole said, "Hello, miss. My men reported that Rachel left the house a little after you left. She went to the supermarket, bought some fruits, and went to the asylum before heading back home. There's nothing unusual.

Inarrowed my eyes. She bought some fruits and went to the asylum.

Sarah was currently at the asylum.

It seemed like Steven's suspicion was correct.

He did not fully trust Rachel, which was why he was also putting on an act. It was likely that rescuing Sarah from Genome Society was part of his plan.

I turned to look at Steven. That was smart of him.

"Zion and Eason are here, miss. Ms. Ewing informed me of their arrival through the internal phone after I ended the call with Cole.

I gave a warning glare to Steven. "Stay put and don't try any tricks with me.'

He looked at me in an aggrieved manner, looking down to tug at the chain on his neck. He then looked up with teary eyes at me, saying, 'It hurts, Stephie."

My chest tightened, and I felt myself about to relent. I gritted my teeth and looked away. What was with his pitiful act?

"You have to endure it even if it hurts, Steven. This is your punishment for leaving me." I grabbed the chain on his neck and kissed his lips hard without hesitation.

It seemed like I no longer needed to suppress my feelings with him locked up now. Wasn't it supposed to be like this when you liked someone? After all, he used to do that in the past.

Steven looked at me and blinked his teary eyes innocently. He was still trying to seduce me. 'I won't try to escape, Stephie. Can you please let me go?"

He was hoping that I would remove the chain on him.

"It'll depend on your performance. I can remove this, but not now." I placed a hand on his uninjured leg and said, "I'll break this leg of yours too if you try to play tricks to leave again."

Inarrowed my eyes as I threatened Steven. When I saw that he was still feigning innocence, I moved my hand to his crotch area. "Or I'll break this too."

He drew in a sharp breath. His fear of me was shown on his face.

Upon seeing him afraid, I raised my brows in satisfaction and turned to leave. It was fun to tease him as well.

Eason and Zion were in the living room. They seemed to hesitate to speak up.

Eason started, 'Are you really Stephanie?"NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

I looked at him and said, 'You liked Simeon."

Eason hurried over to cover my mouth, but I ducked away from him.

"You wanted to become a woman when you were younger. Your parents often beat you up when they found you crossdressing." I calmly said.

This was a secret shared between Eason and Simeon. He had never told anyone else other than Simeon. Eason looked at me in shock. "You even knew about this?" There was a look of revulsion on his face.

"You told Simeon yourself, and Simeon is now Joel. Joel told Steven, and Steven told Stephanie-which is me, "I replied with raised brows, sitting on the couch.

Eason started cursing, "That blabbermouth, Simeon. This is supposed to be a secret between the two of us, but now, everyone knows about it!"

"Just get to the point. Why are you here?' I urged them to move on. Time was precious, and I still needed to deal with Steven until he no longer felt like escaping.

"We're here for Joel," Eason said with a sigh before sitting down. "Joel disappeared after what happened to you and Steven. I've been looking for him but couldn't find him, so I thought something might have happened to him."

"Joel is Simeon, and Carol is his sister. He shouldn't be in any danger." I figured that there were definitely more secrets and plans between Joel and Steven.
