Revenge After Death

Chapter 86

Rachel frowned at Michael. “Even after everything that’s come to light, you’re still defending Yasmin?

“She fell down the stairs on her own. She probably didn’t see properly… She thought it was Stephanie. Also, Jack was lying…” He tried to defend Yasmin, but his tone betrayed his uncertainty.

What was he trying to justify? He was just defending himself by supporting her.

1 knew he would deny any involvement in what had happened to me, no matter how damning the evidence might be.

“Stephanie, I… I thought you were dead. But why are you haunting me? Just leave me alone!” Jack’s words were slurred from drinking before Michael hit him. Now, he was even more agitated.

He wiped blood from his mouth and pointed at Michael. “You’ll pay for what you did, Michael. You should be the one she’s after, not me.”

His words were desperate. “Stephanie, I swear it wasn’t me who caused your death. It was him. He let you die for Yasmin, not me.”

Michael glared at Jack. His hands clenched tightly until his knucklés turned white. It was clear that Jack’s words had struck Michael’s nerves.

“Jack!”

Suddenly, Eva Bailey barged in with a group of people. She was Yasmin’s sister and just as mean. Eva led the bullying against me in school.

Yasmin’s voice choked with sobs, called out from outside the door. “Mike…”

Moments later, she appeared, and a surge of anger rose within me at the sight of her.

Yasmin’s hand was on her belly, and her eyes were swollen with tears. “Mike, I’m not sure if what Jack said is true. I was indeed arguing with Stephie, and then I fell. But that’s all I know…”

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she continued, “Mike, I swear I don’t know.” She tried to sound

vulnerable.

Then, she doubled over in pain, clutching her stomach and leaning against the wall. “Mike, my

stomach hurts…”

Michael stood perfectly still. His eyes reflected a myriad of emotions as he looked at Yasmin.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked at him. “Mike, perhaps this baby… it’s Stephie’s way of making amends with you.

“She couldn’t bring her own child into this world… If she were still here, she’d surely have your child. That’s why we must protect our unborn child for Stephie’s sake.”
