Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 

Michael was convinced that Steven was the murderer. 

“I’ll show you. He’ll confess that he was the murderer,” he said in a hoarse voice as he 

drove. 

Meanwhile, I sat quietly in the passenger seat, feeling powerless and exhausted. “What… are you going to do?” 

“Since he’s a lunatic, I’ll make sure he stays like that forever.” Michael was driving toward the abandoned asylum. 

Suddenly, I realized what Michael was planning to do–he was going to push Steven and force him to tell the truth. He was going to make Steven admit that he had killed Stephanie. 

When we arrived at the asylum, Michael dragged me to a small room and made me watch the surveillance monitor. 

“You don’t believe that he killed someone, do you? You don’t think he’s a lunatic, right? Well, sit and watch then.” 

“Everything’s ready, Mr. Ford,” the assistant said to Michael. 

I watched in horror as the monitor flickered to life. 

Michael’s intentions were clear–he was going to use the past events to provoke Steven and rub salt on his wound. 

“Mentally ill patients are incapable of distinguishing reality from dreams. They might perceive the world as unreal and, consequently, express his innermost thoughts,” a doctor in a white coat solemnly stated. 

I turned to him, clasping my hands tightly. “You’re Quentin Long, the doctor who exposed the scandal of the asylum, right?” 

Quentin nodded. 

“Since you rescued Steven, you should know that he’s not a bad person… So, why are you helping Michael with this? You’re adding insult to his injury,” I questioned him. 

Quentin was silent for a while before saying, “He killed innocent people, including Mr. Ford’s pregnant wife…”

“That’s bullshit! Stephanie wasn’t his wife. In fact, he’s the reason she’s dead!” 1 angrily glared at Michael. 

That shameless asshole. 

However, Michael didn’t say a word. Instead, he grabbed my chin from behind and forced me to watch the monitor. 

“Stephie… “A man suddenly burst into the room on the monitor. 

It was Steven, and it seemed like he’d come in a hurry. 

“Stephie…” Steven repeatedly called my name. 

“You used me to lure him here?” I asked through gritted teeth. 

So, that was the reason Michael had shown up in the alley. He was there to abduct me so 

he could use me to threaten Steven. 

“He seems to care about you a lot,” Michael said in a low tone as he forced me to look at 

the monitor. 

I tightly clenched my hands as I watched Steven standing alone in the empty room. 

It made my heart ache. 

The moment Steven had burst into the room, the metal door behind him was immediately locked. Yet, he still kept calling my name. 

Then, the light suddenly dimmed, and Steven’s cold eyes stared into the camera with a horrifying and dark glare. 

“I will kill you…” Steven fixed his eyes on the camera and spoke in a hoarse and low voice. 

However, Michael merely gave a cold smile before gesturing for Quentin to begin his 

work. 

Quentin sat silently for a while. Then, he stood up and pressed the play button on the 

computer. 

Then, the light dimmed before a video was projected onto the screen in the room. 

It showed Steven’s past experiences in the asylum. 

I tightly gripped my hands as I watched the video on the screen. 

Steven was desperately pounding on the mental door as he repeatedly shouted, “Let me

out. She’s waiting for me. I need to get out… 

But the people in the video didn’t let him out.
