Revenge After Death



Dayton said, "I regretted my choice and didn't go to meet Genome Society's mastermind. I told Steven that I wanted to stop working together. I just wanted to live in peace and stay out of his affairs.

"I no longer want to attract those lunatics as the president of Crowdstar Group. I don't want to expose Xandra to more danger, which is why I turned down Steven's offer."

My hands turned cold and numb. No wonder Steven had to die all of a sudden.

Dayton got cold feet at the last minute and turned against them as the 'president" of Crowdstar Group. Steven had no other options with his plans already at this stage.

He couldn't find a substitute for Dayton's position on short notice, nor could he gain Genome Society's trust in such a short period of time.

That was why Steven exposed his identity and personally went to meet Genome Society's mastermind.

That also meant that Steven was the only person who knew the identity of the mastermind, yet he died in the laboratory's explosionContent © NôvelDrama.Org.

I stepped back listlessly, looking at Dayton. His head was hung low, and his eyes were red from crying. "Im sorry... I didn't know this would cost him his life. I'm sorry."

His apologies meant he had probably heard of the news of Steven's death from the explosion.

I stared at Dayton for the longest time. Before this, I would've thought that a betrayer like him deserved to die.

I could just kill him or ignore him and let Xandra and him fend for themselves.

But why was I still frozen in place, stiffly staring at Dayton? I could hear another voice in my head. I was actually trying to convince myself to think from the perspective of others.

Dayton was just an ordinary person. He was timid, and while he was despicable for the way he acted in order to protect himself and his loved one, his action didn't warrant death.

I backed away in shock. Why was I starting to consider things from others' perspective?

"You need to learn to think from the perspective of others, Ashton. Try to consider the problem from their point of view." I recalled the words Steven once used to educate Ashton.

He said, "The biggest difference between humans and wild animals is that humans have emotions."

Overwhelmed with emotions, I turned around and ran away.

Dayton cried out for me, "Please help me, Stephanie! Xandra is innocent! I could die if you want me to, but please help me save her."

I went to the asylum after leaving Dayton's place.

The asylum was relocated here after Andy and my parents passed away from the car accident. It continued to operate even after Peter's incident.

The world would continue to move even just fine without someone.

"Are you Stephanie?" A young woman walked out from the corner by the entrance of the asylum. It was Peter's autistic daughter, Linda.

She seemed to be waiting for me.

"Were you waiting for me?' I glanced at her warily.

"Steven said that you'd definitely come here if you recovered all your memories," Linda said in a hoarse voice. I strode over to grab her wrist. "You know Steven."

"I like Steven. I've liked him since he was locked up in the asylum. He's different from the others-he's a

genius and a star left by God among humankind," Linda said seriously.

She continued, "He asked me to bring you to the things he had left for you once you've recovered all your memories'
