Chapter 202
Steven was lost in thought as he whispered to himself.
The timing was not right.
“Did Michael intentionally trick him out?” Michael’s calculation disrupted the murderer’s plan, causing it to go awry at the wrong time.
Steven shook his head. “Michael… is stupid.”
Steven believed that Michael was incapable of doing that.
I disagreed. “Michael is not stupid. When attending classes with Yasmin, he was the top student in his grade.”
He was a finance industry genius and a rising star in the business world. He led the Ford Group to great success after taking over the Ford family.
I was just analyzing it objectively. I didn’t mean to praise Michael, but he did have his good points.
Steven puffed up his cheeks and snorted. “Stupid.”
To someone as brilliant as him, Michael seemed stupid.
Out of 10,000 participants from around the world, only one person won the worldwide knowledge quiz
competition. They faced various tests and challenges at different stages. Each of them stood out as
exceptional individuals among the crowd. Everyone was a genius.
Sighing, I held Steven’s hand. “Anyway, if one murderer is caught, the others will also be caught.”
Steven had been lost in his thoughts, and I couldn’t shake the bad feeling that had settled in. It was clear
that they had caught the murderer. However, I still felt conflicted. It seemed too easy.
Michael was skilled, but could he truly outsmart a killer?
Simon was arrested. The police called Ewan for questioning because he had contacted and funded
Simon. However, Ewan’s response was flawless, and the murderer did not make any false accusations. As a result, he was promptly released but had to remain available at all times.
“Michael’s condition is not good.” Zion waited outside the emergency room, feeling concerned.
“He claimed that he wanted to make amends, which was why he couldn’t notify the police. That’s just
absurd.
“Stephanie is already dead. What’s the point of his atonement? He said he was sorry to Stephanie. Even if he knew something would happen to him, he still made a deal with Yasmin to lure out the murderer.” Zion’s voice was scratchy, and he complained while waiting.
Yasmin didn’t want to go, but Michael forced her, saying she owed Stephanie. The police thought this was
foolish behavior. Luckily, they caught the murderer, but the cost was too high.

“Simon admitted that he commanded the killing and correctly mentioned the timing, but… he simply declines to disclose the other two accomplices.” Zion glanced at me and then shifted his gaze to Steven.
1 was aware that he had suspicions about Steven.
“Based on the surveillance footage, no one is as tall as Steve. People can hide their height, but they can’t
fake being short,” I defended Steven without thinking.
Steven was standing behind me, his eyes always on me. He murmured for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Zion. “He wouldn’t let you catch him so easily. It’s wrong. The timing is wrong.”
Zion furrowed his brows, still perplexed by Steven’s words.
Steven kept repeating that it was wrong.

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...
