Chapter 163
My expression grew uglier by the second.
I looked up at Michael and said, “Stop it!”
I was afraid that Stephany really was connected to the killer in some way and that she’d been using these children for that purpose.
Right now, I was Stephany Larson. So, it would be hard for me to discharge myself if Stephany was found to be an accessory to the murders.
“Now will you be good and get in the car?” Michael threatened.
I ground my teeth and got in. I wanted to know why he was threatening me in the first place.
you want?” I firmly looked at him.
“What do you
“I’m the only person who can help you, not that lunatic, Steven Lincoln.” Michael looked coldly and proudly at me. “I want you to divorce him.”
I clenched my hands together. “Why are you so insistent on my divorcing Steve, Mr. Ford? I’m pregnant with his child, you know?”
I purposely mentioned my pregnancy in order to make Michael stop targeting me. But that only made him sink more into his madness.
Michael gazed feverishly at my stomach. “Stephie… was pregnant too.”
At that moment, I suddenly found him to be far crazier than Steven was.
“The Lincoln family no longer has any heirs–Mr. Ignatius had a stroke and James will never reawaken. Who cares about the baby in your belly?” Michael sneered and clasped my chin. “You should feel lucky for having a face like this….
Michael just wanted to keep me by his side as a substitute for Stephanie.
“My face? I don’t look like Yasmin at all. Plus, she’s not dead yet.” I intentionally. provoked him.
Michael’s gaze was icy. “That’s not something you should speculate about.”
I clicked my tongue. I felt that Michael was just as overconfident as usual.
“Were you this composed last night when my husband unleashed those dogs on you, Mr.

Ford?” I asked..
I was kind of angry that Steven didn’t wake me up last night to go along with him. Oh, how I wanted to see something other than pride and coldness on Michael’s face. Michael ground his teeth together. “I’d advise you to take the smarter route. I know you’ve had some dealings with the killer in order to successfully marry into the Lincoln family and help the Larsons through their troubles.”
Michael had clearly uncovered some more information.
“Are you threatening me?” I met his gaze.
Michael pulled me closer to him. “You could say that.”
“What do you plan to do after I divorce Steven? Protect me with your resources? If I’m truly a murderer, you’ll be committing a crime by harboring me.” I shot Michael an innocent yet serious look.
“You don’t need to worry about that.” Michael reminded me to not stray from the topic, saying, “Just come find me after you divorce Steven.
My guess was that Michael had already drafted an agreement for me to sign after I
divorce Steven.
“Harboring criminals is a grave crime. We’re technically in the same boat now, aren’t we? “I asked sweetly.
Michael’s brows knitted together, displeased.
“I’m sure you know how important a president’s reputation is to their company, right,
Mr. Ford?” I asked.
By this time, the driver had stopped nearby the Lincoln residence, and I got out of the car.
Then, I waved my phone at Michael. “I’ve already recorded the conversation we had. earlier about harboring me, so if you really plan to threaten me, I’ll drag you down with
Michael’s expression darkened, but he remained composed and unreadable as usual.

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...
