Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 

“Stephle…” Michael tried to continue, but I had already instructed the butler to shut the door. 

Rachel and Zion stopped Michael from advancing. “Mr. Ford, if you really do end up dying out here, it’ll make things difficult for your doctors.” 

Lois‘ face had turned ashen. She looked at Michael with a mixture of frustration and disbelief in her expression. “Michael, I think you’ve truly lost your mind.” 

Lois was an independent woman in the modern world, after all. I could see the weariness and disbelief in her eyes. She probably never imagined that her son would end up in such a a. state. 

I shook my head helplessly and walked into the living room. 

After I left, Rachel sent me a text. She told me that Lois was on the verge of going mad from anger because of Michael. It turned out that Lois was wondering if her son had been possessed by spirits or replaced by someone else. 

Lois had even asked her assistant to inquire about the best exorcist in Huma. She said that she wanted the exorcist to perform an exorcism and also protect her family against any potential harm. 

I was taken aback to hear that. I could only let out a resigned smile. 

Everyone knew that there was no way the dead could come back to life. Lois was 

Michael’s mother, after all. It wasn’t surprising that she was looking for other reasons to pin all of Michael’s unhinged behavior on at this time. 

I figured that Lois must hate me a lot at this moment. She probably regretted adopting met into the Ford family and ruining her son. 

It was because of me that Michael turned out this way, after all. 

Sure enough, I received another text from Rachel before reaching the place where I was supposed to meet Eason. She told me that Lois had brought an exorcist to my gravesite. 

Rituals were being performed to ward off evil spirits at this moment. It turned out that the evil spirit Lois was trying to banish was me. 

Rachel said that they were going to perform some special rites–for me to prevent my spirit 

from lingering around Michael. 

Mrs. Lincoln, we’re here.” 

At some point, the Lincoln family’s driver had started speaking to me with a lot more respect in his tone. I didn’t think it was a big deal. However, I realized that the household staff had started addressing Steven the same way too. 

It felt as if they regarded Steven as the head of the Lincoln household now. 

I didn’t think much of it. James had become a vegetable with little to no chance of waking 

up, after all. Furthermore, was now a paralyzed invalid after his stroke. He could 

Ignatius 

not even take care of himself, let alone make any decisions for the household. 

It was clear that Steven was the head of the Lincolns now. 

I glanced around after getting out of the car. 

Stamford was a prestigious university located between Huma and Jacaster. It was the best university in the country and the only one that offered advanced classes to geniuses. 

I didn’t know why Eason invited me here. However, I was rather angry. I was already three 

minutes late due to traffic, after all. I had expected Eason to be upset with me. But to my 

surprise, it turned out that he still hadn’t arrived. 

I had never liked people who weren’t punctual. Michael was a very punctual person. Hel 

measured time to the second. If I ran late to meet up with him at our appointed time or 

somehow displeased him, he would always find a way to punish me. 

As a result, I became a very punctual person. I would become very anxious if the person I 

agreed to meet with at a certain time didn’t show up. 

I started to wonder if I was being played for a fool again. 

I took out my phone and called Eason. 

“Didn’t you tell me to meet you at the designated location around this time?” I asked.
