Revenge After Death

Chapter 473

I couldn't help but glance at Steven. When Yasmin pretended to be Stephanie, I wasn't really worried.

Only someone as gullible as Michael would fall for it... But when even Michael didn't believe Yasmin, I realized just how lacking her disguise skills were.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Peter exploited Yasmin by using her to impersonate the supposed reincarnation of Stephanie to deceive Michael and Steven. However, Yasmin's lack of acting skills and low IQ were ultimately detrimental to the plan.

Given Peter's intelligence, one would assume that he would refrain from making such a foolish error. Surprisingly, he allowed Yasmin to proceed with it nevertheless.

Linda also mentioned that Peter was a kind person. He supported Stephanie's parents and was the one who looked out for Stephanie.

Upon reflection, it appeared that Peter might have been acting as a whistleblower. It seemed he intentionally allowed someone with a low IQ like Yasmin to attract our attention. He wanted to disclose the information beforehand, showing that there were multiple 'Stephanies' within the organization.

I found myself subconsciously glancing at Steven, nervously reaching for his hand. If it were Yasmin, there would be nothing to worry about.

But what if there truly was another Stephanie? Stephanie herself was an experimental subject, and her identical twin with the same gene could be even more alike.

"I want to see her," Steven declared, expressing his desire to meet that "Stephanie."

My fingers stiffened for a moment, and then I gradually released Steven's wrist.

Nancy smiled and gestured for Steven to follow her. "Let's go."

Steven glanced at me and gave me a reassuring look. I firmly grasped his wrist again and met Nancy's gaze. "I'm going too."

Nancy did not stop or refuse. It was as if she had been expecting it.

Zion and Eason exchanged a glance before declaring, "We'll go as well."

Nancy glanced at Zion. "I'm sorry, Officer Landon. There isn't enough room in my car."

Zion placed the extinguished cigarette butt in Eason's hand and suggested seriously, "My car is larger. Steven and Stephany will ride with me. We'll follow you."

"I'm going too!" Joel exclaimed, raising his hand like an eager primary school student.

Nancy smiled and got in the car without retorting. Charles grumbled and was about to utter something more, but Martin quickly stopped him.

Steven and I hopped into Zion's car.

In the meantime, Eason couldn't help but react as he caught sight of Zion's discarded cigarette. "Zion! This is truly going too far. I'm your leader! Your direct superior!"

"I apologize, Boss. I forgot. I mistakenly thought this was a trash can," Zion said as he glanced at Eason before getting into the car directly.

Eason was seething with rage. He was on the verge of exploding. Right then, Joel seized him by the collar. " Stop arguing. Get serious and get in the car."

As Eason was forcefully tugged by the collar, he glanced back at the young high school student. Despite being much younger, Joel spoke to him in a strangely persuasive tone as if he were addressing a child. It had been a tough day for him.

Eason held back his sharpness and posed a question to Joel before entering the car, almost as if he were pondering aloud, "Joel, let me ask you... When I was investigating the organization's base, I stumbled upon their feasibility plan for soul reincarnation and memory transfer...

"Do you believe that the soul can truly be reincarnated?"

Joel was taken aback for a moment, and his gaze was fixed on Eason. "Theoretically, one could argue that the soul may continue to exist in a different state after departing from the physical body."

Eason shuddered, and he clasped his hands tightly. "Oh, may God bless me." He then fervently made a series of prayerful gestures. "Amen..."

Eason whispered, "Please bless me and protect me from evil spirits. God, please rewrite my fate. Please shield me from being pestered by Simmy."

Joel stared at Eason as if he were a fool. He briskly opened the car door, forcefully guiding him toward the passenger seat. Joel then slipped into the car, casually positioning himself between Steven and me.

For a brief moment, I was stunned. I glanced at Steven, and then at Joel, who seemed completely unaware that anything was amiss. Steven appeared somewhat absent-minded, constantly gazing out the window. I had initially desired to switch seats with Joel so that I could sit next to Steven. However, I soon realized that Steven seemed preoccupied and absent-minded, which made me feel incredibly uneasy.

Did he doubt it? Or did he believe what Nancy said?

Zion spoke while gazing carefully at Steven's reaction in the rearview mirror. He was worried about upsetting him. "After Stephanie's body was found, the forensic doctor confirmed the features that Michael had mentioned. There was a mole on her left chest and a birthmark on her perineum."

Steven's clenched hands were clearly visible, and a heavy silence enveloped the car.

"Even though identical twins may look alike, the small birthmarks on their bodies are unique. You and Stephanie have known each other since childhood. Does she have these birthmarks on her body?" Zion asked tentatively.

Steven fell silent and did not speak. I also averted my gaze and peered out the car window.

Back then, Steven cherished "Stephanie" too much. He had never engaged in any sexual activity with Stephanie. So, how could he possibly be familiar with the birthmark on her private parts?
