Chapter 34: Chapter 34

“Rachel!” Jack and Michael’s friends rushed forward to block her.

But Zion, who had followed Rachel, furrowed his brow and said, “Everyone, be quiet.

The police had laid in wait everywhere. They were waiting to see if I would show up. I found it funny because I was right beside them.

Unfortunately, no one could see me.

“Michael, you’re the one who killed her. She won’t come back!!!

But as time passed, there was still no sign of me. Even the surroundings of the wedding venue were filled with people Michael had arranged in advance.

Still, there was no sign of me, no sign at all.

Somehow, Michael ditched Yasmin and the guests and left as if he had lost control of himself.

“Mike…”

Yasmin followed after him with red eyes. “The guests have arrived, and my family is here. You can’t do this, you promised me…”

“I’m sorry, Yas. I can’t marry you,” said Michael. He then removed the flower from his chest and turned to leave.

“Michael!” Yasmin watched him leave.

Upset, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She couldn’t help but shout, “Michael, you’ll never find Stephanie! She’s dead!”

After she had said that, she seemed to regret her words. Her face turned pale, her eyes filled with panic.

Michael stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Yasmin. “What do you know?”

Yasmin’s breathing sped up. She tried to change the topic.

“I just… spoke without thinking. Mike, please stop making a scene and come with me. My parents are here…”

Michael frowned. His expression was unpleasant as he walked up to Yasmin.

“Do you know something? Tell me!” Michael seemed to lose control as he grabbed her by the shoulder, demanding answers.

I had never seen Michael treat her so harshly before. It was quite unsettling for me.

I sneered as I stood by the side. Of course, she knew I was dead.

“On the 13th and 14th, we asked Stephanie to wear a red dress to Serenity Lane. Why did she appear in Sunset Alley on the 15th?” Michael lowered his voice. He looked as if he was interrogating her.

I didn’t know if he found anything, but I was somewhat surprised that Michael would be suspicious of Yasmin.

“… I don’t know. “Yasmin nervously took a step back.

Michael clenched his fists. He scrutinized Yasmin without saying a word. Zion and Rachel had been waiting, anticipating my appearance and arrival.

“Stephanie will come. She loves Mike so much. She loves him shamelessly. How could she not show up?” Jack muttered quietly They all firmly believed that someone like me, who loved Michael to the core, would surely appear at the wedding reception to try to stop it.

But what puzzled me was that it was supposed to be the wedding of both Michael and Yasmin. Yet only Yasmin’s family was present. None of Michael’s relatives showed up, not even his aunt.

“Mike, she’s not here.” Michael’s friends had also arrived. They shook their heads, saying they had carefully observed the surroundings and hadn’t seen me.

As the wedding reception came to an end, I still hadn’t appeared.

“Mike, it’s almost time. Why haven’t you two come in yet? Everyone is waiting,” Yasmin’s mother came out to ask at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Yasmin looked somewhat guilty.

She pleaded with Michael, “Mike, please. I didn’t know my sister would tell everyone in my family about the wedding. Now all my relatives know, and they’re here. I can’t do anything about it.”

“I told you, this wedding was only to lure Stephanie out!” Michael spoke in a low voice.

Zion glanced at Michael and signaled his employees to stand down. Continuing to wait here was meaningless. Stephanie wasn’t coming.

When they found my fingernail on that corpse, the police understood that I wasn’t coming back.

However, Michael insisted I wasn’t dead, so they decided to come over to go through the motions.

“Michael, she’s not coming back. Are you satisfied?”

Rachel’s face turned pale. Her determination was crumbling.

Following Zion dejectedly, Rachel took a few steps forward. She said, “She’s not coming back.

She’s not coming back.”

“Officer Landon! We found Steve!”

Last night, the police had conducted a raid but hadn’t caught Steve. Yet, he had appeared at the wedding.
