Revenge After Death



Steven and I stood leaning against the wall, looking at the person warily. To our surprise, it was actually Michael.

Michael glanced through the peephole. "They're breaking down the door. Someone could pick the lock. It's not safe in this room."

In Michael's room, Yasmin trembled and cowered in the corner, her eyes swollen and teary. "Mike, you shouldn't have saved them. They're nothing but scourge."

I rolled my eyes at her. "Yasmin, I can't believe you're still alive."

Yasmin tightened her grip and glared at me. Ignoring her, I immediately made my way to the balcony." Steven, let's climb up from here to get on the deck."

It was rare that Steven and Michael did not quarrel with each other. Consequently, they pushed the bedside table and coffee table against the door. Yasmin glared at me with resentment but remained silent.

Steven and I ascended to the deck while Michael escorted Yasmin to get ready for the climb. "We must make our way up, or else those people won't let us go."

Yasmin gazed at the unfathomable sea below and shook her head in fear. "Mike, I'm scared."

Michael whispered comforting words, "It's okay, don't look down."

He still expressed gratitude toward her for saving his life.

"If you ignore her, she'll manage to come up," I felt annoyed and exclaimed. Clutching onto the swimming ring at the edge, I attempted to ascend. However, the rope securing the swimming ring suddenly gave way. Just as I was on the verge of falling, a hand from above grabbed me.

Steven heaved a sigh of relief and pushed me. I grasped the hand from above, drawing strength from it to pull myself up. However, I was taken aback to discover that it was Una who had aided me.

She, Jimmy, Zion, and Eason had rushed to the deck with two children and secured the door. For the time being, the deck was safe. However, since we could climb up from the room, our pursuers could easily do so too. It was only a matter of time before they would come up.

"You're nowhere near as competent as me in any aspect. You're nothing but a failed experiment," Una said icily, taking every opportunity to deliver her biting sarcasm. It was clear that she was determined to prove that she was the best among all experimental subjects.

I was too lazy to talk to her and instead directed my gaze toward Steven, whom Zion was helping up." They firmly believe that you're the president of Crowdstar Group, and they won't back down. We can't hide here for long."

Yasmin shouted, her voice piercing through the room. It was evident that the door had been forcefully broken open.

I lay down, took a look, and shouted to Michael, "You come up first and leave her alone!"

Michael glanced at me and still decided to rescue Yasmin. I sighed, realizing that Michael was truly hopeless.

"Michael still has some kindness within him." Zion felt helpless and planned to rescue them.

I stood aside, remained silent, and made no move to help anyone.

"At the very least, you were in a relationship with him before. How could you not want to save him? You're

quite cold-hearted, after all." Una's deliberate provocation was evident in her words. She had explicitly stated that being emotional was a weakness, yet she intentionally said this to irritate me.

"Hah. You're actually the one who shares the same genes with Stephanie. Why don't you go and rescue him?" I gave Una a sarcastic look.

Down in the room, Yasmin was still screaming, crying for someone to save them. "Zion, you're a police officer. You must come down and save us."

Even in this kind of situation, she was still trying to guilt-trip Zion.

Rachel frowned, grasped Zion's arm, and shook her head at him. She didn't want Zion to be in danger. In this life-and-death situation, regardless of one's identity, it was not wrong to not save others.

It was natural to prioritize one's self-preservation, and risking one's life to save others might not seem justifiable. Zion should have understood this truth, yet he still chose to proceed.

Michael was outnumbered as many people rushed into the room at once.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Una stood by the railing and shouted, "Michael! Don't you think it's not worth sacrificing your life for someone who killed Stephanie and took advantage of your kindness too many times?"

Yasmin gazed at Una with a mixture of fear and resentment. "Why are you still around!"

She clearly resented Una, treating her as if she were Stephanie.

"That's right. I died so miserably. I had to return and haunt you for a lifetime. Say, do you think Michael would still want to save you if he learned that you weren't the one who saved his life? Or that he never owed you his life in the first place because it was all a lie?"

Una looked down with her chin raised as if admiring Yasmin's struggle close to death's door.

Yasmin turned pale. "That's not true."

Una smirked. "I didn't expose you before because I found it intriguing,"

Eason found a ladder and wanted to lower it so that Yasmin could climb up first. Otherwise, Zion and Michael would not be able to come up as they would be burdened by her.
