Chapter 214
Steven was clearly shocked by Rachel’s acting skills and commented in a hushed tone, “Stephie, your friend is so aggressive.”
I raised my hand to cover my forehead, thinking she was indeed quite aggressive.
Soon, Zion opened the door and put his hand over Rachel’s mouth. His countenance was somber, and he wore a stubbly beard. All the neighbors in this neighborhood were his father’s colleagues, and Rachel’s actions would cause him great embarrassment.
“What nonsense are you yelling?” Zion dragged her into his house. Then, he glanced at me and Steven and hastily fixed his disheveled hair. “My house… is a little messy
Steven and I walked into the house filled with beer bottles and cigarette butts scattered on the floor. The place was more than a little messy.
“Are you willing to give up on this case just like this?” asked Rachel.
Zion had just ignited a cigarette, but as soon as he noticed my presence as a pregnant woman, he promptly extinguished it.
With a frown, Steven firmly raised his hand and gently pressed my head against his chest. ”
Secondhand smoke is harmful.”
Upon hearing that, Zion rolled his eyes.
“You don’t need to be too sad. You have some intelligence, but it’s limited. It makes sense that
you couldn’t deal with him. It’s a matter of talent,” Steven consoled him.
I felt my face flush with embarrassment, but no words escaped my lips. The statement was so straightforward. Was it intended to offer solace to others?
As I observed the slight twitching of Zion’s lips, I couldn’t help but sense his desire to chase
Steven out. However, his upbringing restrained him from acting on his impulses.
“Although I left, there is some good news. My superiors sent an expert over. He’s a genius in criminal investigation. I heard he’s also in the advanced class. He should be a classmate of
Steven.
Zion glanced at me and added, “His name is Eason Grant, reputedly a genius known for his
exceptional memory. I heard that his observational skills are unmatched and that he never misses
any clues once he has seen the scene.”
I glanced at Steven, my astonishment evident. Could this person truly possess such incredible
abilities?
Steven sneered and quietly muttered, “He’s just trash
I was perplexed. Even though Zion didn’t hear Steven’s muttering, I was able to discors it. He and Eason seemed to be at odds with each other.
“Out of hundreds of millions of people, only one person can make it into the advanced class. He must possess unique qualities, unlike the average person I hope he can swiftly resolve the case,” Rachel quietly whispered her heartfelt plea.
“There are many types of geniuses,” Steven disputed itachel’s statement.
“A genius is considered a genius if he scores above 60 points, but there’s a significant distinction between 61 points and a thousand points. There’s no limit to this disparity. Moreover, this person is as annoying as Michael Steven had serious doubts about Eason
I was speechless. Steven now saw Michael as the embodiment of annoyance
Rachel glanced at Steven in astonishment “You’re quite talkative today.”
Indeed, Steven really despised Eason.
“He’s not as good as you. Steven shot a resentful look at Zion. He was trying to persuade Zion not to give up indirectly. Zion said nothing and poured himself a glass of beer.
“Is the beer still okay to drink? When was it opened?” Rachel reached out to snatch the bottle.
Zion dodged, “Last night. I don’t wanna waste it.”
Shortly after Zion had a drink, he began to experience a stomach ache and rushed to the toilet. Rachel assisted him with cleaning up the house, feeling helpless.

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...
