Revenge After Death

Chapter 235 Based on the clues | had gathered so far, it was evident that Stephany had intentionally Imitatedto marry Steven.

In that case, why would she choose to take the pills and attempt suicide on her wedding day after achieving her goal? Meanwhile, Steven didn’t seem as surprised as | was. Was he aware of Stephany’s suicide? “Stephany, | have to get back to work now. Callif you need anything, okay?” Judy said before heading to the second floor.

| nodded, then asked Steven in a hushed tone, “Weren't you surprised? Why did Stephany get so many pills from the nurse?” Steven lowered his gaze and tightened his grip on my hand. “Who in their right mind would marry me?” | was startled by his words. It had almost slipped my mind.

Before | was reincarnated, Steven was just sdirty, crazy tramp. Of course, no ladies would want to marry him.

But then again, why had Stephany gone to such great lengths to imitatein order to get close to Steven? After taking Steven back to the ward, | told him | was going out to buy dinner. That gave the chance to slip away and meet the nurse on the seconERoor.

Judy, who happened to be at the nurse’s station, was rather surprised to see me. Stephany, | thought you had gone home.” “Well, actually... About the medicine you gavethe other day... | took it... “I whispered to her.

Judy’s expression turned pale with fright. “I-I didn’t give you those pills myself. They were prescribed by the doctor for your grandmother’s heart condition. Don’t getin trouble.” | waved my hands. “That's not what | meant. When | woke up the other day, | had forgotten a lot of things. Do you know why | would want to kill myself?” Judy was taken aback for a moment before asking in a hushed tone, “Have you lost your memory, Stephany?” nodded.

“Well, you mentioned that your grandmother was making you do things you didn’t want to and your biological parents were forcing you to marry someone against your will. It seemed like everyone was threatening you, but you didn’t tellthe specifics...” was startled for a moment. Nodding, | said, “I see. Thank you, Judy.” “No problem, Stephany... But don’t keep all of that bottled up inside. You mentioned before that you like to write in your diary when you don’t have friends to confide in.

“Why don’t you write down everything that’s bothering you and let it out? These difficult times will eventually pass,” Judy comfortedgently.

| replied with a smile, “Okay.” With that, | left the hospital and headed to the Larson residence.

Charles sat on the couch. Glancing at the newspaper, he casually asked, “Why are you back today? How's everything at the Lincoln family? Why didn’t you answer my calls when | tried to reach you before? Are you aware that the Lincoln Group has sent your sister, Annie, out to oversee projects?” Ewan actually sent Ann, the princess of the Larsons, to oversee projects under the sun? | could foresee her fragile skin peeling off every three days.

Ignoring Charles, | headed to Stephany’s room, only to find that all her belongings had been replaced by Ann’s clothes and shoes.

Furrowing my brows, | cout of the room and asked, “Where are my things?” Charles replied indifferently, “Oh, since you've married into the Lincolns, Annie took over your room. Your mother had someone move all your belongings to the garage.

| felt a lump in my throat, finding the way these people treated Stephany unbelievable. It was no wonder she chose to end her life.

Nevertheless, there were still mysteries awaitingto solve.

Who had forced her to imitate me? What happened to those homeless children? How did she know Simon? And did she have any connection with the murderer? “My, my, if it isn’t my sister who married into a wealthy family?” When | was heading out of the house, | bumped into Ann, who strutted in wearing high heels. Her skin was clearly tanned.

Ann questioned in an arrogant tone, “Why haven't you and your dimwit Steven gotten stable positions in the company? You useless thing! Do you know | was targeted because | mentioned that dimwit’s name?” “Poor Annie, she’s been through a lot lately,” said Stephany’s mother, Nadia.

Judging by the mountains of luxury items being carried by the nanny it seemed that Nadia had taken Ann out Shopping to alleviate the stress of her recent harsh work life. As Nadia passed by, she didn’t even sparea glance. She treated Stephany as if she didn’t exist.

How ironic. She cared so little about her biological daughter, Stephany, but pampered her adoptive daughter, Ann, like a princess.

Worrying that my emotions might cause low blood sugar, | took a deep breath and retrieved a few pieces of gum from my purse to chew on.

Heading to the garage, | rummaged through piles of junk until | found Stephany’s diary.

Flipping through its pages, | began to read, “Today was cloudy.Grandma Rosie asked me to send some buns to Uncle. | was so scared. Uncle madetake off my clothes when no one was around.

“I ran and told Grandma Rosie about it, but she said not to tell anyone or | would be worth less in the future.” “Today was rainy. Grandma Rosie mentioned takingto Huma City Center to find my biological parents and demand the money they had supposedly spent onover the years.

“Grandma Rosie tookto feed the homeless children again. Although she appeared kind like saint, | knew déep'down she was a devil-a monster who harmed children. “Then, Grandma Rosie declared those children were all sick, worthless, and unlucky. She wouldn't feed them anymore, so | must save smoney to buy them food.”
