Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford ) novel Chapter 444

After returning from the ruined building, I couldn't shake the strange feeling that my reactions always lagged behind my subconscious…

"Stephie… " Steven turned to me, protesting, "He must be up to no good. That's why he wants me to leave."

I nodded. "Michael, you can say it with Steven present."

Michael was so furious that it took him a while to calm down before speaking, "Stephie… Yasmin is really important. Even the police know that— "

"Why are you explaining so much to me? Are you worried that I might kill her?" I interjected curiously.

Somehow, Michael seemed to be wary of me. Was it because of the recent killing game in the ruined building?

"No… " Michael replied after a long pause. It was evident he was worried that I would kill Yasmin.

Nervously, he tried to explain once again, "I'm just— "

"Since I didn't kill her at the ruined building, you don't have to worry about me getting rid of her now that we're out," I assured him, realizing that Michael had been startled by the sight of me pressuring Yasmin for answers.

"Honey, he's scared of you," Steven whispered to me.

I didn't respond to him and fixed my eyes on Michael.

Was he afraid that I would kill Yasmin because he believed I was the mastermind behind the serial killings? Or perhaps the mastermind behind this killing game?

"She… " Michael lowered his head, taking a deep breath. "Yasmin told the police that you're the mastermind behind this killing game. She said… you stabbed her and… tore her wound. She demanded an examination of her injuries… "

I narrowed my eyes and asked Michael, "Ha, does she have any proof?"

I noticed Michael's sudden silence and finally came to a realization. "Ah… now I get it… "

All of a sudden, I understood why Michael was so worried that I would kill Yasmin.
