Revenge After Death

Chapter 170

I took a deep breath and glanced at Howard. “Then Steve…”

“Steve arrived at the orphanage before Mandy. He was abandoned there when he was little. Steve was a loner and didn’t have any friends, but whenever he was bullied, he made sure to retaliate. And as a result, Mandy didn’t dare to mess with him even thought she really wanted to.”

Then, Howard paused for a moment, deep in thought, before saying, “If my memory serves me right, Mandy had once targeted Steve because he had helped Simmy out of the blue. And from that moment on, Simmy began following Steve everywhere while Steve made sure to keep him safe from Mandy.

“So, since Mandy couldn’t get her hands on Simmy, she deliberately put bugs into Steve’s pasta as revenge toward him.”

I clenched my fists.

That Mandy girl was such a bitch!

“Guess what happened next,” Howard said with a mysterious tone. “Steve didn’t say a word to Mandy and simply grabbed her head and pressed it into his pasta. Then, he forced her to finish the whole plate in front of everyone.

“And ever since that incident, Mandy would flee whenever she caught sight of Steve.”

I nodded in understanding.

So, Simeon was very attached to Steven and saw him as his savior. And Steven was very protective of Simeon too.

Not to mention, the both of them were the geniuses of the orphanage and were selected to join the junior class.
