Revenge After Death



However, Una reached out and snatched the ladder from Eason's hands.

Eason frowned. "What are you doing?"

Jimmy stepped forward and moved her behind him.

Una smiled. "Isn't it interesting? Let's watch on for a while more."

She stood by the barricade and looked at Yasmin. "Do you want to come up?"

"Let us up! The person they're after is Steven. Why should we suffer because of him? Let us up!" Yasmin took a fearful glance at the crowd storming into the room and screamed.

"I'll let you up as long as you tell Michael why you rescued him in the first place." Una seemed to be enjoying this.

Eason was mildly annoyed. "Go have fun somewhere else. Are Zion and Michael still down there? Steven, Joel, get the ladder!" As he was blocked by Jimmy, he could only get Joel and Steven to help.

Steven looked at me. He wouldn't move unless I did. Meanwhile, Joel shrugged before hopping over the barricade.

"Are you crazy?" Eason yelled after him.

"Let me get some exercise in." He rolled his neck and joined the fight, swiftly kicking off a guy who was trying to sneak up on Michael and Zion.

Yasmin was trembling, but she refused to say a word. Someone charged directly at her with a knife in hand. Una watched indifferently as she screamed and cried for help. There was nothing but a hint of amusement in her eyes.

I frowned. I had to admit, this woman was much more ruthless than I was.

"Yell all you want. The ladder is with me, and I'm not satisfied. You can all die down there for all I care," she said uncaringly.

It wasn't until the knife broke Yasmin's skin that she started crying out loud. "You're a monster, you're all monsters!"

Upon seeing that she was in danger, Michael came to her rescue without a care for his own personal safety. I leaned against the barricade and stared at him. Then, I took the ladder from Una and lowered it. "Let her up first."

Michael looked at me before swiftly averting his gaze. Despite reminding himself that I wasn't Stephanie, he still couldn't bring himself to make eye contact with me.

Yasmin scrambled up the ladder before crying on the floor out of fear. Instead of coming up with her, Michael stayed downstairs and rushed to help Zion and Joel.

He was actually... somewhat kind. However, his kindness was always reserved for other people. Stephanie never received any of it.

Either that or all his evilness was directed toward her. He assumed that she could withstand everything he threw at her just because she was inherently evil herself.

"Head up first," he told Zion and Joel.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The three of them were hiding on the balcony. Michael was gripping the glass door with all his might so

that they could climb up.

To be frank, everyone knew that the last person wouldn't be able to make it onto the deck. No matter how fast you climbed the ladder, you couldn't possibly be able to make it all the way up before the crowd rushed out.

He probably wasn't planning on coming up. He was injured, as evident from the blood on his shirt.

As Zion and Joel were going up the ladder, Michael lifted his head to look at me. His gaze was laced with an unexplainable sadness.

"If I told you that it was Stephanie who saved you back then and not Yasmin, would you regret dying here today?" I lowered my head to ask him.

He didn't reply until he was struggling with the door.

"Honestly, I found out a while after Stephanie died. It wasn't Yasmin who saved me--it was her. That's why I'm choosing to punish myself via suicide today."

Once the two had gone up the ladder, Michael loosened his grip. The crowd pushed through the glass door and rushed over to the tiny balcony.

"I was wrong, Michael." Yasmin suddenly stood up while crying, "The person you've been trying to find is your mother. Back then, when I was hiding in Peter Jones' lab, your mother was the organization member who was working with him."

Michael's mother was also a member of Genome Society. "She's the person in charge of the other lab!"

"Please help him. It was me who forced him to protect me. I threatened him with that secret to make him comply.

"He really loved Stephanie. He was only willing to continue living to help her discover the truth behind everything," Yasmin begged as she cried.

She was begging me and Steven to save Michael.
