Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335 

Luckily, Zion was on the phone, and Rachel thought that what I said wasn’t harsh enough. 

“She doesn’t even deserve to be dumped in a stinking ditch. Her body should be thrown into a septic tank,” she spat. 

Rachel’s ferocity managed to cover up my earlier slip of the tongue. 

I watched as the suspicion in Eason’s eyes slowly cleared away. 

Zion hung up the call and looked at Eason. “The case with the mutilated corpses has been 

closed.” 

Eason was taken aback by that. “It has?” 

“Well, the superiors called to say that the aid I provided to make the arrest was 

commendable since I got injured in the line of duty. I’ve apparently contributed to the 

closure of the case with the mutilated corpses, 

“They said that they want to award me with a medal of honor at the Traffic Enforcement Unit,” Zion said with a small smirk. He thought that they were going to finally reinstate 

him. But the truth was far from it. 

“Is that all?” Eason asked through gritted teeth. 

“Well, they’ve also given me a long vacation. They said to only come back to work once my arm heals,” Zion replied. 

Eason scratched his head. “So, the case is closed just like that? Huh…” 

It was clear that someone from above was pushing for the case’s closure. The serial murder case had dragged on for quite a long while without any closure being given, after all. 

The case involved the mutilation of corpses, after all. Seeing as the supposed culprit had been caught, the case needed to be closed promptly. Otherwise, it would incite widespread. 

panic. 

“You guys should head back first. I’ll check out the situation,” Eason said, then spun on his 

heel to seek the superiors out. 

I looked at Steven. He was still holding onto me and seemed unwilling to let go. 

Michael scoffed and turned to leave. 

“Mr. Ford, you’ve lost…” Steven couldn’t help but remind him mockingly. His tone was 

cautious, as if he was afraid that I’d get angry. 

Michael’s expression darkened with anger as he barked out, “You’re so childish!” 

Steven snorted and tightened his grip on my hand. Then, he scolded Michael loudly enough 

for everyone around us to hear, “You so shameless. She’s my wife, you 

registered our marriage and everything, so we’re protected by the law.” 

know. We’ve 

Michael was enraged to hear that. He wanted to charge forward but was stopped by Yasmin who was crying. “Michael, let’s just go…” 

Michael angrily pushed Yasmin away and turned to leave. 

Yasmin glanced back at me with a barely perceptible smirk in her eyes. 

It looked like she was planning something. And whatever it was, it seemed as if everything was going to her plan. 

I scoffed. I was ready to find out what sort of plans she had cooked up. 

“Let go,” I said in a deep voice. I lifted my head to glance at Steven. 

Steven hugged me with an aggrieved look on his face. He wouldn’t let go of my hand. 

“Let go,” I said once more. 

Steven cautiously released his hold on my hand. 

“Rach, I’m going to head back home if there’s nothing else,” I said softly.
