Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )
Chapter 363

"Sir has instructed us to stage her suicide."

Howard rejected the idea. "It's a tragedy to end her life in this manner. Sir is suggesting that she took her own life out of fear of committing the crime. Can we instead stage her escape?" "What do you mean?"

"She can still be sold for a good price." Howard sneered.

I attempted to open my eyes, but I was not able to do so at that moment.

Howard was actually one of the human traffickers. Unquestionably, they were all despicable individuals. It came as no surprise then, that every one of them was included in the serial murder case, with no exceptions.

"Mandy has passed away. We have lost direct communication with them, and now we have to share half of our earnings with them. This is truly unlucky!"

"The serial murderer is already dead, so what are you afraid of?" Howard identified the serial murderer as Simon, who was already deceased.

Mandy was the first woman from the orphanage to be killed. She was also considered the "boss" of the orphanage.

"Do you truly believe that the person who died was the mastermind and murderer of the serial murder case? Why do I sense that everyone on the Death List will eventually die?" Howard's accomplice, Bobby asked with a smile.

Perhaps Bobby was joking, but as someone on the Death List, Howard was clearly frightened. "Don't be ridiculous. It's been a while and no one else has died. It's clear that Simmie is the killer and is already deceased."

Howard began to act recklessly after Simon's death. He used to pretend, but now he didn't even bother pretending.

"Are we really selling her? What if Sir asks..."

"Just say that we've taken care of her. Sir mentioned that she should disappear and not show up again," Howard said calmly as he walked to my side.

I was awake at the moment, but I didn't dare to open my eyes yet.

Howard stared at me for what felt like an eternity, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Stephany, don't you dare blame me. It's your own foolishness that's to blame here. You can't even survive anymore, but you still want to be kind and help those children who trust you. If we don't make use of you, then who else can we use?"

"Humans can't be overly kind-hearted. Refrain from getting entangled in other people's situations. It may lead to negative consequences for yourself," Howard murmured to himself.

I comprehended Howard's words, and a wave of relief washed over me. Stephany did not commit any legal infractions. Rather, she was taken advantage of. Moreover, the person they referred to as "Sir" was Peter.

Stephany's kindness toward those homeless children had unfortunately become an opportunity for these deceitful individuals to exploit. They aimed to use it as a means to threaten and potentially deceive her. Combined with the charitable funds and projects mentioned by Howard earlier, it became apparent that Stephany could not single-handedly support so many children. Furthermore, some of the children had congenital diseases. Hence, Stephany required a significant amount of money.

"Stephany, I actually really like you." He firmly held my chin, seizing the chance to caress my face.

I could sense his malicious intent...

Seeing that I was unconscious, Howard became increasingly courageous. "It's unfortunate that Sir actually requested you to marry that fool. You are so obedient and willing to do anything as long as he provides money to help you support those little bastards. You can even sell yourself. You are truly a kind-hearted person..."

His fingers started to glide down, raising my garments.

I fought the urge to move. Howard was not alone in this place at the moment... If I were to wake up, I knew they would surely kill me.
