Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford ) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 

Suicide? Ha! If she had the heart to die, she wouldn’t have caused Stephie’s death!Rachel yelled 

uncontrollably

Her hatred toward Yasmin was intense, perhaps because I had become her scapegoat

Calm down for now. Go and see what’s going on first,Zion intercepted the emotionally unstable Rachel and handed her over to Keenan. Take care of her.” 

Keenan nodded and held onto her

You’re a doctor too. You know more than anyone that you shouldn’t let emotions cloud your judgment at any time.” 

Without saying anything, Rachel just stood there with red teary eyes

Zion glanced at his watch and sorted things out at the scene before rushing to catch up with Michael

He said, Mr. Ford, I’ll go with you to check out the situation. Based on the current investigation, your wife, Yasmin, is also one of the girls who left the orphanage back then. So, the murderer will continue to target her.” 

Michael’s steps froze for a moment. With a low voice, he said, She’s not my wife” 

Zion was baffled by Michael’s odd behavior, but he didn’t say much. I followed behind the two and got 

into the car too

The girls who left the orphanage back then have grown up and are now scattered throughout the city. There are no significant patterns to the list and order of deaths. It’s as if the murderer is seeking 

revenge

Zion looked at Michael and continued, If your wife isn’t afraid of dying, I wonder if she can. cooperate with us to catch the murderer as soon as possible?” 

Originally, he didn’t want to suggest this, but Yasmin and Michael were the ones who had pushed me into becoming bait

I smiled at Zion and teased, As if he’d agree to that. He treasures Yasmin so much. How could he possibly let her be bait to lure out the murderer?” 

I saidshe’s not my wife,said Michael, who seemed to be very bothered by the title. Besidessomething has already happened to Stephie. I can’t possibly let Yasmin take any more risks.” 

I laughed. See, he’d never agree

Risk? Mr. Ford, what were you thinking when you asked Stephanie to become bait, then? Or is it that in your eyes, Yasmin’s life is worth something but not Stephanie’s?Zion countered

Clearly caught off guard, Michael sat there stiffly

I could only feel a boneplercing chill run through my entire body. Yes, my worthless life could never compare to Yasmin’s precious one

Yasmin is in poor health, and her emotions have always been unstable. You heard it too just now, that she attempted suicide!Michael fumed, glaring at Zion. You’re a police officer. How could you say such things?” 

Zion remained silent, but it seemed Michael’s response had confirmed his suspicions

Michael, Stephanie wasn’t from the orphanage, and her body still hasn’t been found. My team and I think there’s a high probability that she’s still alive. If we don’t find her soon, she’ll die for sure,said Zion after a long silence

He hoped that Michael could persuade Yasmin to help the police and ultimately me. He was already being quite tactful with his words

The fastest way to find the murderer now was to use Yasmin as bait to lure them out, but Michael 

hesitated

I had already accumulated enough disappointment in him. Now, I found myself able to face it with some resignation. I knew that I had no place in his heart, and his choice was within my expectations. My feelings for him that had been buried deep in my heart during my youth rapidly took root and grew into a towering tree. But they were later crushed and destroyed

My love for him ended in the year 18th birthday

Michael’s car stopped in front of the hotel. Guests at the wedding reception hadn’t left, including Yasmin’s parents, who obviously looked upset

Michael” 

Yasmin’s mother, Jacquelyn Case, was an elegant womanespecially since she came from a welloff family. It was just that they had gone bankrupt in recent years. That was why they needed Michael’s help

Mrs. Bailey,Michael greeted as he lowered his head, seemingly feeling guilty.. 

I stood not far away, watching the family and feeling a sense of irony

Why are you still calling her Mrs. Bailey? You should call her Momby now,said Yasmin’s father, Roger Bailey

He sighed and continued, Michael, we’ve seen how you treasure Yasmin. But regardless of the reason why the reception turned out like thisembarrassing Yasmin in front of all her relatives wasn’t right. You should go talk to her properly.” 

Michael was silent before he opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out

He just nodded and replied, Okay.”
