Chapter 216
“Do you have a high 107 Are you deliberately trying to give the impression that you’re intelligent by dressing as if you are attending a funeral? Steven asked at the door.
Rachel and I were left speechless with astonishment. Steven was so composed and confident while criticizing others.
Eason’s body momentarily tensed, but then he turned to face Steven and broke into a sudden smile “Oh Aren’t you my old classmate? Have you finally been released from the asylum? It seems you still lack basic manners.
“It appears your parents‘ negligence in not keeping you on a loan continues to endanger others”
Eason and Steven were extremely hostile toward each other.
He mentioned Steven’s parents intentionally to provoke Steven. It was common knowledge that Steven’s father passed away in a car accident, and his mother’s fate remained a mystery. She abandoned him at the orphanage’s doorstep when he was just a child.
Sir, you speak eloquently. Did you grow up independently? I furrowed my brows, observing his discourteous behavior. Had he not been raised with any guidance on proper etiquette?
Eason’s eyes grow darker as he fixed a penetrating gaze upon me. After a considerable amount of time, a burst of laughter came from him. “Steven, you haven’t changed a bit. You still have that obsession with collecting…”
He was likely mocking me for resembling Stephanie.
“Get out…” Lying on the hospital bed, Michael’s complexion was ashen as he requested for everyone to leave the ward.
Eason turned to Michael, saying, “Mr. Ford, rest well. I’ll return when your injury has improved.”
As Eason exited the ward, he purposefully halted right in front of me. “You know, you and Stephanie do look very similar.”
He believed that this sentence would provoke me and was clearly doing so intentionally. What he didn’t realize was that I was Stephanie.

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...
