Chapter 161
The boy ran over to hug my leg when he saw how dazed I was.
He held on tight, refusing to let go.
“Why don’t I take you back, little boy?” The female police officer coaxed.
The boy shook his head as he sobbed and continued holding onto my leg.
I helplessly looked at Steven. And at the same time, I felt incredibly shocked.
These two boys–the teen who’d been instructed to kill Yasmin, and the little boy in front me–definitely knew who I was.
“He likes you. You can take him back.” Steven walked up to me and blocked me from
Zion’s view.
I felt guilty and was concerned Zion might see through me.
“If the boy likes you so much, you can take him home first if v

I heaved a sigh of relief and held the boy’s hand. “Do you want to go back home with me?
The boy obediently nodded.
Then, I crouched down and asked him, “What’s your name?”
He gazed at me with wide eyes for a moment before saying, “My name’s Jean.”
I smiled. “What a good boy you are, Jean.”
Jean held onto my hand as we walked, not letting go even once.
After Zion and the female officer left, I called Ewan to have him come fetch us.
“Stephie…” Jean hid behind me once the police left. He was fearfully gazing at Steven.
He seemed scared of him.
Meanwhile, Steven stared back coldly at Jean.
“You don’t like him?” I cautiously asked Steven.
Steven looked away. Then, in an effort to show how kind he was, he innocently said, “No,

I took care of those stray dogs, didn’t I?”
But based on how Steven compared Jean to stray dogs, I could still tell that he didn’t like
Jean.
Jean didn’t like Steven either, and he kept cautiously watching him.
“Mr. Lincoln, Mrs. Lincoln,” Ewan greeted when he arrived and gestured for us to enter
the car.
I was about to get into the car with Jean when I noticed Steven standing where he was, unmoving.
His head was down as he stood there, seemingly unhappy.
“Get in the car,” I said in confusion.
Then, Steven suddenly extended a hand out to me. “You said you wouldn’t lose me again.
How dare I hold someone else’s hand.
I felt exasperated, but Steven’s condition was different. So, I had no choice but to coax him, “Come on, let’s get into the car.”
Steven held onto the hand I extended to him. Then, he turned around and challenged Jean, saying, “Let go of her hand. She’s mine.”
Jean trembled fearfully as he hid behind me. Yet, he refused to back down. “No way. Stephie is mine.”
This time, I was certain that this boy knew who Stephanie Carlson was.
I was afraid Stephanie’s secrets would be exposed, so I quickly led both of them into the
car.
“Stephie, can you tell the police to let my brother go? He was just trying to get money for my sickness,” Jean tentatively said.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie)
A very good thriller in the beginning ruined by unnecessary twist and unrealistic plots. Exaggerating the story just for the sake of it. Totally disappointed...
