Chapter 252
Ewan meant that Steven would leave Ignatius alive, but Martin wouldn’t.
I didn’t say anything. I knew it wasn’t something I could stop. Once Martin got rid of Ignatius, I would be
next.
On my way back to Steven’s house, I texted Rachel, ‘Rach, Martin had Steve forcibly taken to an asylum.
What can I do to get him out?”
Rachel cursed. “Fuck! Look, don’t panic. Tell me where the asylum is; I’ll try to think of something.
There weren’t many people I could trust now–Rachel was definitely one of them. I sent her the asylum’s address. Soon, however, she replied and told me there wasn’t any record of Steven being admitted there.
My heart clenched as I gave Ewan a fearful look. “Are you sure they took Steve to the asylum?”

We now lived in a civilized society, but behind affluent families like the Lincolns lived a group of criminals who couldn’t care less about the law.

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...
