Yasmin and Michael were students of Miranda.
That was before my parents died in the car accident. When they were in school, I hadnât met them or transferred there.
When I transferred to Michaelâs school, he had already graduated.
âMrs. Miranda.â Michael walked to Miranda with a gift in his hand.
Miranda said happily, âI didnât think youâd come.â
Yasminâs hand was on Michaelâs arm.
Michael was behaving indifferently, but Yasmin looked happy and blissful.
Perhaps her pregnancy had progressed, or maybe Yasmin was acting out. It had only been a few Thonths, but Yasmin looked very pregnant.
Michael and Yasmin did not look at Steven and me at all.
Steven saw that I was staring at Michael. He gradually tightened his grip on me.
I suddenly felt scared. When he got crazy, his possessiveness could be terrifying.
He seemed keen to label me as his, just like what Michael had done.
âMichael must know Steven Lincoln. Stephany brought an actor with her today, insisting that heâs Steven. Michael, take a look and see if heâs a fake.â A woman went up to flirt with Michael.
At this point, Michael turned to look at Steven and me.
Frowning, I looked back warily at Michael.
He just took a quick distant glance at me while removing his arm from Yasmin. âIâve never seen Steven Lincoln. I donât know him.â
Scoffing, I looked at Yasmin. âMr. Ford, is this your fiancée?â
Michael stayed silent and unresponsive.
Yasmin answered quickly and anxiously, âYes, weâve had our wedding ceremony.â
I asked puzzledly, âAre you Stephanie?â
Yasminâs face fell immediately as she panicked. âWhat are you talking aboutâ¦â
I sneered. âI must have been mistaken. I heard that Mrs. Ford was the one who arranged Michaelâs marriage. Apparently, his fiancéeâs name is Stephanie?â
Michael frowned and stared at me. He seemed to be blaming me for stirring up trouble.
Archool looked at me th MO Gotable was my intention. âMr. Ford, whereâs Stephanie, your fiancée?â
Steven wel his bond to chock on me. I wasnât sure if it was my imagination, but I thought I saw him smile in adding maner âfe fölt strange, but I couldnât pinpont why.
phany, why are you bringing up all this miserable stuff? Everyone in Huma knows that Michael only sur Stephanie as a sister. Moreover, she was killed by a serial murderer. You⦠â
saw Ann wanted to impress. Michael. She thought Michael hated Stephanie. But before Ann could finish, Michael tornod and stared at her murderously This frightened Ann, but she still tried to appeal to Yasmin. âAnyway, Stephanie had a bad reputation. The murderer must have been on to her for a while.â
âWhatâs your name?â Michael asked sternly.
Kun thought sheâd managed to please Michael. She smiled as she said, âIâm Ann Larsonâ¦â
âDo the Larsons want to disappear from Huma?â Michaelâs presence was terrifying.
âAh, itâs so good that you came too. Come, come. Take a seat.â Howard, the class monitor, saw that things were getting out of control. He gave up on hiding and rushed forward to coax Michael. âAnn is 200 outspoken. Please forgive her.â
Howard looked at Ann with displeasure. âStephanie was a nice wom He seemed to know the old me. He also seemed sincere in defending me.
But I didnât remember having any interactions with anyone from the orphanage.
1 instinctively turned to look at Steven. His gaze was also on Howard, but it was so intense it could born a hole.
