Chapter 238
In order to satisfy their own greed, The Larsons would swallow nails if they had to, let alone aggravation!
Ann looked at me in horror, shaking her head desperately.
It was evident she was shocked. In fact… even I was shocked too.
What was I doing?
As I walked out of the garage, I locked the door and saw the nanny throwing out garbage at the backyard gate.
She didn’t say a word or greet me when she saw me.
“I
“There’s a rat in the garage,” I said nonchalantly. “I put out rat poison and locked the door. You’d better not go in there today. The rat might escape. Come back tomorrow morning to see if it’s dead.”
“Got it,” the nanny replied impatiently.
Obviously, Stephany’s status at home was no different from that of the nanny. She was expected to do chores like a nanny too.
Hence, the nanny had gotten used to treating her with such an attitude.
I couldn’t help but smile.
It was all their own doing.
Some evil was beyond the edges of the law, beneath the line of morality.
But was there really nothing to restrain such evils?
Everything had its consequences, as if it had been calculated in advance by some formula.
Whatever seeds were sown, the final fruits would be reaped.
Thus was fate, a vicious cycle with unrelenting retribution.
“Leaving already
Make sure to butter up that fool when you get home and step up your game in securing the Lincoln Group. Can’t even handle a simpleton, can you?” Charles Impatiently reminded me as I was about to leave.
“Got It,” I replied with a smile.
“Stephy, your sister is getting mistreated at the Lincoln Group. They’ve got her working at the construction site every day. It’s wearing her out. You need to step in and get her a better position,” Nadia complained.
“You’re her older sister. It’s your duty to look out for her. She’s younger than you and hasn’t faced any hardship like you.”
I raised an eyebrow and fixed Nadia with a store. “Blood ties sure are overrated…”
Nadia was startled. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Have you ever heard a saying?” I smiled meaningfully, making a gun gesture with my hand. “The bullet you fire will, sooner or later, end up hitting you in the back.
“Bang!” I mimicked the sound of a gunshot and blew on my finger with a grin.
Then, I turned away, heading for the door.
Unable to understand my meaning, Nadia turned to Charles and said angrily, “Charles, did
you see her attitude? How dare she lecture me?! Where’s Annie? She’s such an angel compared to Stephany.”
“Oh, I just saw Ann leaving,” I replied Nadia with a smile as I got into Ewan’s car. He had
come to pick me up.
I wondered if they would go crazy and come running to attack me when they saw their precious daughter hanging in the garage. I couldn’t wait!
“Mrs. Lincoln, the sir has returned home,” Ewan reported as we headed back.
“Didn’t the doctor say he needed to stay in the hospital for a few days?” I asked, glancing
out the window.
Thinking of how Stephany’s suffering had finally ended with her life, I couldn’t help but choke up.
“We have a family doctor with us, so everything is taken care of,” Ewan assured me.
Leaning against the car window, I felt a pounding headache.

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...
