Revenge After Death



From what I remembered, Carol might have pretended to be a fool or a lunatic, yet she had never hid her love for Steven. Because she liked him, she was fond of hiding behind him, pretending to be pitiful so that he could protect her.

I used to think that I wouldn't fall in love with anyone. That was why Carol's antics meant nothing to me. But things were different now-I'd want her dead even if she were to just breathe in the direction of Steven.

"You should get some rest for now," Ewan said, stepping forward to push Steven's wheelchair toward his

room.

I followed behind him. No sooner after I stepped out, I was stopped by Carol.

"As long as you're dead for good, he'll definitely belong to me," she said with a threatening look. She was warning me that she would kill me for good.

"No one would love a lunatic like you even if I'm dead for good." I pushed Carol away and walked toward Steven.

"Aren't you curious about what Steven promised me?" She stopped me again.

I frowned. To be frank, I was quite curious.

"He promised to get together with me as long as I helped him, Carol confidently said.

"You must be out of your mind," I sneered.

Steven wouldn't have agreed to such a childish promise.

"Let's go, Stephie." He turned back and called for me.

"Okay." I pushed past Carol and walked toward him.

There was a sinister look in her eyes. She did not continue to stop me, but it was clear that she was plotting something.

"You'd better tell her to tone it down, Joel. We can just leave if she's not willing to cooperate," I said angrily to Joel.

He nodded helplessly. 'I've been talking to her even before you guys came. She would begin to agree to it, but she'd go crazy as soon as she sees Steven.'

I huffed and entered the room with Ewan. He nodded at me politely before heading out with Joel in tow. I closed the door, leaning against it as I looked at Steven angrily. "What did you promise her?"

He averted his gaze and said softly, "I'm thirsty, Stephie.'

"Don't change the subject." I walked over and grabbed his chin. "Speak up."

Steven looked at me pitifully, trying to use his seduction tactic once again.

"It's useless,' I warned him openly.

Steven reached out to hug me before whispering, "She wants me to hand over the data of the reincarnation project and those of memory editing.'Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Carol was indeed ambitious. Was she trying to achieve immortality via 'reincarnation' so that she could be at the top of the human food chain, just like Genome Society?

As of now, mastering this technology was akin to holding the key access to the wealthy. They would spare nothing in order to achieve 'immortality'.

"Did you agree to it?" I asked, looking at Steven angrily.

"I'm not the only one who has found the key to reincarnation-Joel has found it too," he whispered.

"Joel's hiding it from Carol, so she thinks you're the one who "reincarnated" him, right?" I asked in a soft voice.

Joel knew Carol too well. He knew that she would be even more relentless than Genome Society if she were to obtain the key to reincarnation. She was the one who orchestrated all the killing games-that was how terrifying she was.

"Are you really planning to give the data to her?" I asked in a worry.

Steven shook his head and replied, 'I won't."

I felt relieved, yet I knew Carol wouldn't back down easily.
