âYou said you know your mistakes. What did you do wrong?â I grabbed Michaelâs collar and smiled.
I glanced at Yasmin, who was standing to the side, sarcastically.
Yasmin gritted her teeth.
âStephie⦠Michael was nervous. He grabbed my hand. âI will make up for everything I did in the past. From now on, let me protect you. I wonât let anyone hurt you.â
âI swear.â Michael was serious.
I followed what Yasmin always did. I smiled at Michael. âWhat to do? I donât want to see her.â
nointed at Yasmin.
Michael turned around and frowned. âYasmin, I will let the bodyguards protect you. Youâ¦â
âMichael, thereâs another murder case in Sunset Alley. Iâm scared. You know that⦠I donât have any other requests. Iâve never thought ofâ¦â Yasmin panicked. She gritted her teeth and stared at me.
âIâve never thought of snatching you from her. I just hope you can protect me, seeing that Iâve saved you back then.â
Yasmin still wanted to gaslight Michael with the kindness she showed him back then.
I know that Yasmin wasnât the one who saved Michael back then, but I wouldnât expose her. What was the fun to expose her now? I should let the two be together.
They should stay together forever.
It would be more troublesome to expose it now. Michael would cling to me more.
âStephieâ¦â As expected, Michael was moved.
I had to say that Michael still had a conscience. Because Yasmin saved his life, his tolerance to her was high.
âStephie, Yasmin is in danger right now. The police canât protect her for long, soâ¦â Michael wanted me to be mature and let Yasmin stay. âStephie, you wouldnât want her to die in the hands of the murderer, r right?â
âI would.â I chuckled.
Michael was such a funny person. Why wouldnât I want her to die? I would even want to watch her be killed.
âMichaelâ¦â With red eyes, Yasmin approached Michael. âStephie has never cared about my lifeâ¦â
Michael pinched his temples and looked at me. âStephie, come home with me, alright?â
âSure, but Iâm afraid Yasmin will be upset.â I pouted and looked at Yasmin.
Yasmin clenched her fists and glared at me.
I knew that she had held herself back.
âYasmin wonât be upset. She sees the big picture. Besides, thatâs your house. Itâs our house,â
coaxed Michael softly.
He thought that I was the same person as before and that I would be obedient once he coaxed me.
âShe sees the big picture? Do you mean that I donât see the big picture then?â With a pitiful expression, I looked at Michael.
âStephie⦠Thatâs not what I meant. Seeing how flustered Michael was, I found it interesting.
âLetâs go then. Iâll follow you home.â I looked into the distance. My guts told me that someone was staring at us.
Steven wasnât at home. To ensure the safety of me and the baby in my stomach, I needed to go to Michaelâs place.
Michael was delighted. He went to get the car happily.
I glanced at Yasmin and snorted. âLook. Iâve already said that Iâm not Stephanie, but he still thinks Iâm her.â
Yasmin gritted her teeth and said, âStephany, stay away from Michael!â
âWhy? I want to snatch him from you. Unlessâ¦. I have a better choice.â I moved closer to Yasmin and smiled. âI know that you have a spare. Arenât you eyeing the president of Crowdstar Group?
Donât be greedy. If you have information about the Crowdstar Groupâs president, tell me⦠Then, I will give up on Michael.â â
Yasmin glared at me. âDream on.â
