Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 377

"I don't buy it." Rachel shook her head. "Stephanie Carlson will never reincarnate onto Yasmin. Even the thought of it is gross! She'd rather die."

I burst into laughter, dispelling the gloomy mood that had surrounded me for days.

Lowering my head, I wiped away the tears at the corners of my eyes. "Yeah, if I woke up and found out I had become the person I hated most, I'd probably choose to die straight away."

Seeing me smile, Rachel held my wrist and said, "Don't overthink it. Yasmin may think she can fool everyone, but those who truly care about Stephanie Carlson won't be deceived. Does she seriously think she can imitate every detail and feeling of a person?"

I agreed; Yasmin was just wasting her time.

However, her disguise wasn't meant to make Rachel and the others believe her; it was to deceive Michael and Steven.

Michael had been brainwashed and manipulated by Peter long ago, so I wasn't surprised he would fall into Yasmin's disguise.

But Steven…

I gave Steven a call, but he declined it. This was the first time he had ever declined my call, which worried me.

"There's no way Steven will be fooled by her." Rachel sighed. "Stephie… you really should try to have some faith in him sometimes. Isn't it exhausting to keep suspecting someone?"

Rachel always seemed to see through my thoughts.

"But what if… there's something suspicious about him?" I asked.

Indeed, there were simply too many suspicions about Steven. Not only was he covering up the murderer, but he also secretly harbored Simmie…

"Try trusting someone unconditionally for a change, will you? After all, life is a gamble. Who knows, you might make the right bet?" Rachel looked into my eyes, then added, "Can I tell you a secret?"

I nodded.

"Actually, I'm in love with Zion… " Rachel lowered her head, her ears slightly reddened.

I opened my mouth, not very surprised; in fact, I had somehow sensed it.

"What about Zion?" I whispered nervously. All women were born to be curious creatures.

"He… " Rachel took a deep breath and sighed slowly. "He doesn't like me."

"Impossible! I think he's pretty nice to you," I exclaimed in shock.

"I asked Zion if he's willing to marry me, and he moved out," Rachel said, with a chuckle tinged with a hint of sadness.

Zion had given her the answer by moving out of their shared house, denying the possibility of them getting married; he knew he couldn't give Rachel the life she wanted.

"Were you two dating? At what stage were you?" I asked softly.

Rachel rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking? We're just ordinary friends sharing a palace… nothing more than that."

They hadn't even started dating, yet she already wanted Zion to marry her? It was no wonder Zion got scared and ran away.

Nonetheless, it was evident that Rachel had realized her feelings for Zion.

"Will marriage bring you happiness?" I asked Rachel gently.

Rachel sat up and looked at me. "Asks the one who rushed into marriage first!"

I felt a little guilty under her gaze.
