Chapter 242
I looked aloof. “Sorry, but I don’t remember anything. Your precious daughter drugged me on the day of my wedding, as did James. The drugs were too strong. I couldn’t handle them, and I’ve lost my memory.”
Charles‘ lips twitched. “We’ll act like we never had you as a daughter. Get this freak away
from us!”
“Fine.” I nodded,
Ann’s screams came from outside the door. “Help me! Mom, Dad, help!”
I was curious to know what was happening outside.
Seeing that Steven wasn’t moving forward anymore, Charles and Nadia made a run for it.
But they were even more terrified after opening the door.
There were several dogs in the courtyard. They had pounced on Ann, Kelvin, and the bodyguards. They were trying to drag them to the ground. The smell of blood was in the air. I heard the sound of flesh being torn and screams rending the air. It was a living hell.
Nadia almost fainted at the sight of it. Her legs gave out, and she fell to her knees.
A dog was biting Ann’s leg, and she was screaming for help. Kelvin was so focused on
running for his life that he couldn’t be bothered about her. He allowed the dogs to jump on
her and bite her face.
I gasped, not knowing how to put a stop to the situation. The Lincoln family’s bodyguards were trying to control the situation, but the dogs refused to let go.
Afraid that someone would die from this, I said in a small voice, “Steven…”
He came over to me, looking cold. He put the peeled apple in my hand and covered my eyes as he said softly, “Don’t look.”

I clutched the hem of my dress tightly. Although this was what Ann deserved…
A few of the stronger bodyguards had already fled, and Kelvin had taken shelter in the car.
None of them dared to rescue Ann. And so, Ann was left alone as the dogs surrounded her
and chomped down on her.
Charles and Nadia were terrified, so they didn’t dare to help her. They could only cry and scream for someone to call the police.
These are strays from around the area. Mr. Lincoln Senior was kind enough to allow us to feed them in the backyard, Ann aggravated them when she brought so many people with her here. We’ve already called the police, though,” Ewan said.
The dogs stopped their attacks and dispersed when they heard the police sirens. They
were gone before the police arrived. To my surprise, the dog in the lead was the cute
wolfhound I’d seen in Steven’s villa,
I thought it was a gentle dog, but it turned out there was a side to it that I wasn’t aware of.
It was so fierce and aggressive that I doubted an actual wolf would stand a chance against
“What’s going on here?” The police rushed over to see Ann covered in blood and
screaming for her life. She looked like she’d gone mad.
*This lady here trespassed on private property with a bunch of ruffians. They didn’t look like they were here in peace, and they had weapons on them.
“The strays that the master of this household were feeding were scared, so they bit her.
They’re gone now. We tried to put a stop to things as soon as possible.” Ewan stepped
forward to deal with the police. “Since they were under the Lincoln family’s care, we’ll
compensate no matter how much it costs.”
The police officers hurriedly called an ambulance. Charles and Nadia had already dashed
toward Ann to hold her in their arms. She had fainted due to the fear, and her face had bite
marks all over. She looked terrible.
I had mixed feelings as I looked at her from the door. In Stephany’s diary, she had written that Ann had once locked her in a dog’s cage before. She was stuck in there for a whole night, screaming for help. But no one had come to her rescue because the school had been empty at the time.

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...
