Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 360

"I know that you are short of money, and I also know that Peter used those homeless children to threaten you. There are three million dollars in this card. You only need to agree to one request of mine. I will pay you a sum of money every three months from now on," Lois said, her eyes burning with intensity.

I furrowed my brow and cast a wary gaze at her. Clearly, she knew too much...

The Angel Fund was established by the Ford family. Lois was undoubtedly linked to Peter, my parents, and even the Lincoln family in some way. No, now the Larson family was involved, with Charles and Nadia.

It turned out that they were unable to conceive a biological child of their own. Stephany was also conceived through in vitro fertilization, meaning that her genetic makeup did not belong to them.

As a result, they simply desired to have a child. They did not care whether the child was being replaced by the nanny or was elsewhere. The reason for Charles and Nadia's indifference, coldness, and mistreatment towards Stephany was now clear.

One was a daughter who was born, but not related by blood. The other was Ann, whom they had raised for eighteen years. Naturally, they preferred Ann.

The reason why Stephany's genes and Stephanie's genes were the same was that they belonged to the same batch of embryos. Biologically speaking, they were biological sisters.

"What do you want me to do?" I stared at Lois.

"Divorce Steven, to be with Michael, and keep pretending to be Stephanie," Lois asserted as she pushed the card across the table to me.

She asked me to continue pretending to be Stephanie and accompany Michael.

"Why? Don't you think I was sent by Peter?" I couldn't comprehend her intention.

She scowled and let out a sarcastic chuckle. "What a joke..."

"After Stephie died, Michael completely lost control. He is truly unlike his father. I never imagined he could feel such profound love. Previously, I viewed him as heartless and foolish, much like his father."

Lois spoke again, the tone filled with mockery. "But since Stephie's death, he appeared to have lost his mind. He isolated himself in his room, refusing to eat or drink, and inflicted harm upon himself."

"For the third time, he went on a hunger strike, pushing himself to the brink of death.

"The fourth time, this time... he cut his wrists in Stephanie's room, making both horizontal and vertical cuts."

Michael was still unconscious after being rescued. It was uncertain when he would wake up.

She sneered and pushed the letter in front of me. "This is the letter he asked the nanny to pass Stephanie before his accident. As a mother, I'm asking you, please, pretend for once, even if you have to lie..."

"I just want him to live." Lois pleaded, her voice trembling with tears.

She actually begged me... She begged me to help Michael, to be with him and lie to him even if it was just for show.
