Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford ) novel Chapter 405

Yasmin was confident that Zion wouldn't abandon them, and she was also certain that he would locate Rachel and me. So, she didn't deliberately come out to lure me there? Did she intend to seize the opportunity to eliminate me?

This possibility could not be dismissed. Yasmin intended to impersonate me, and the only way to fully assume my identity was to eliminate me.

"Indeed, something is amiss with Yasmin..." Just as Zion was about to comment on Yasmin's odd behavior, the stairs began to shake.

"Watch out!"

"Stephie!"

At that moment, the staircase collapsed, leaving a dark, bottomless hole where it used to be. This happened on the 17th floor. Below, it seemed to lead directly to the underground...

Steven panicked and was about to rush forward. Fortunately, Joel pulled him back, preventing him from tumbling into the endless abyss.

"Steven!" My heart skipped a beat. I stepped on the edge of the floor and frantically shouted his name.

Steven nearly fell in, and the gravel beneath his feet fell. It took an eternity for an echo to sound, revealing the terrifying depth of the abyss below.

Steven looked up at me. His eyes were filled with a mix of panic and grievance as if he couldn't bridge the gap between us even though we were so close. He stood at the edge, facing the endless abyss. There was no way to reach me.

"There must be another exit. Wait for me on the 15th floor," I encouraged him gently as if persuading a child.

"Hey, stop standing on the edge. If you fall, your wife will go mad," Joel muttered, reaching out and grabbing Steven's waist to pull him back.

The grievance in Steven's eyes disappeared. His gaze abruptly sharpened as he directed his attention toward Joel. There was a clear look of warning in his eyes.

It appeared that he was holding Joel accountable for failing to bring Michael and Yasmin back, allowing them to take advantage of this situation.

Joel averted his gaze guiltily. "Surely, there must be more than just one way out."

"We must find a way to enter." I glanced at Zion. We were left with no choice now but to save them.

Zion agreed with me and patted the wall. Howard was still inside, but that loser couldn't seem to open the door.

Suddenly, a sound came from inside. The wall moved!
