Chapter 320
“Is Stephany awake?”
As Eason walked in, he asked Zion and Rachel, who were standing by the door.
Rachel rolled her eyes at Eason.
“What did you say to trigger her again?”
Eason looked at her innocently. “I just told her about Stephanie! I suspect Stephanie used to be a genius and that she must’ve been behind the teenagers who disappeared!”
Rachel looked at Eason as if he were crazy.
“Are you mad? Stephanie was a good student and had good grades. And she was always at the top of our class. But she’s far from being a genius!
“Also, she would even mourn over a dead stray cat. How can you accuse her of being responsible for the
missing people?”
“That was after the accident.” Eason felt frustrated. “Have you ever thought of the possibility that Stephanie was only putting up a disguise post–accident, hiding her talents and pretending to be an
average person?
“Do you really think that Stephanie was innocent?”
Eason looked at Zion.
“You should investigate Stephanie.”
“She’s too clean…” Actually, Zion has had his suspicions. “Stephanie and the Carlson family’s profiles were too clean. They operated a small business, yet they insisted on doing charity even when they were on the brink of bankruptcy.
“They’re kind… but something feels off.”
“Something’s not right with the Carlson family. Something’s up with Stephanie too,” Eason sneered.
“You’re a bunch of madmen. Why are you criticizing and suspecting the good people? You can’t even Identify the killer. How useless…” Rachel softly cursed.
“You failed to find the killer, so you’re pushing the blame to the victim. Why don’t you say that Stephanie knocked herself out, killed herself, then put herself up to be displayed in a glass cabinet?”
Eason and Zion were silent.
There wasn’t sufficient evidence.
“But there’s one thing… Steven’s direction was right. He said that if he entered the asylum, a murder case would happen again. Everything was pointed toward Martin Lincoln…”
Eason looked at Zion.
Steven voluntarily admitted himself into the asylum to prove Stephanie’s Innocence. He did it so that Martin would drop his guard and reveal his true colors.
But they didn’t have sufficient evidence
at proved Martin to be behind the two murder cases.
“He’s crazy,” Michael cursed Steven.
I turned my back on Michael and listened to the conversation between Eason and Zion. I kept quiet.
The situation had gotten complicated.
“Stephie… I asked the doctor, and you need to rest. You can be discharged today. I’ll take you home.
Michael wanted to bring me to the Ford residence.
“You’ll be safe if you stay by my side. Steven is crazy and a disaster. He’ll only bring you more trouble.”
“My husband’s back. I should go home with him,” I warned Michael. I refused to go with him.
Michael was silent for a moment. Then, he said, “Stephie, Steven killed someone…”
It was a whisper, but it sounded like a threat.
I glared at him. I knew that he wanted to take advantage of the fact that Steven killed Dax.
“It was self–defense.”
“I wouldn’t have said anything if he was normal. But he’s crazy!” Michael gazed at me with a conflicted
look.
It seemed like he was adamant about “rescuing me from Steven.
*Are you crazy, Michael? She won’t go home with you. You should hurry back to Yasmin.” Rachel opened
the door and signaled Michael to leave.
Michael glared at her.
“If you weren’t Stephie’s friend, I would get rid of you.”
