There were so many guests around. In a flash, Ignatius became extremely upset.
the Ford family.
He was already embarrassed by the scene that Michael caused. However, he was from the after all. The Ziegler family was not up to their level.
âI see that any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to bark at the Lincoln family now?â Ignatius chided.
Lena was trembling in fear. She looked at me in shock. She looked like she was shooting laser beams from her eyes.
âStephany, you set me up⦠Mr. Ignatius, it wasnât me⦠It was Stephany. Sheâ¦â
âGrandpa, Lexy has been listening,â I said as I looked at the nanny, who was standing by the side.
She nodded. âYes.â
Lena was in fear. âMr. Ignatius⦠1â¦â
âWhere is this lady from?â Ignatius asked in a deep voice.
âSheâs from the Ziegler family,â his assistant answered.
âMoving forward, the Zieglers are not allowed to attend any events related to the Lincoln family.
They should first educate their own daughter. Itâs only after that can they associate themselves with my family again.â
Ignatiusâ voice was deep. He was taking this opportunity to give out a warning.
âPlease leave.â
I gave Lena a mocking look. Recently, Ignatius had been filled with pentâup anger. She happened to be oblivious and ended up triggering him.
Lena was completely freaking out now. She came to her senses after a while. She looked at me in astonishment. âStephany, you⦠You did that on purpose? How dare you!â
She was about to hit me when she was stopped by the Lincoln familyâs bodyguard. âMiss, youâre not welcome at the Lincolnsâ family dinner. Please leave.â
She kept staring at me. It seemed as if she was going to burn a hole through me with her gaze.
Stephany used to be submissive. She wouldnât say a word to anyone no matter what happened.
Lena must be feeling confused as to why she had suddenly changed.
I glared at her provocatively. Then, I went upstairs. It felt good to have someone backing me up.
However, the Lincolns werenât backing me up. It was the baby that I was carrying.
Ignatius had to entertain the guests. I gave an excuse saying that I wasnât feeling well and needed to rest. I retreated to my room and sent the nanny away.
From the window upstairs, I glanced down. There was no one else outside. I took this opportunity to change into a different set of clothing and climbed down.
âHi Rach, itâs me.â I ran out from the Lincolnsâ home and called Rachel.
Rachel stayed silent for a while before she said. âWeâre not that close. You can call me Rachel instead.â
1 acknowledged her request pretentiously. âMs. Rachel, I heard that Yasmin was abducted by the murderer. Is that true?â
âItâs not,â Rachel answered unhappily.
I raised my eyebrow. This was similar to my theory. I had guessed that Yasmin was the one who staged the incident. She just wanted to make Michael worry for her.
âSo, I suppose that couple is playing house, arenât they?â I remarked in a low voice.
âYasmin acts well. When she regained consciousness at the orphanage, she said that someone abducted her. The cops didnât expose her either.
âSteve is under control, so she thinks that sheâs safe. Zion has said that itâs highly unlikely that Steve is the murderer. Sheâs just playing with fire. It would be her own fault if she ends up burning herself.â
Rachel wished that Yasmin could get rid of the murderer as soon as possible. She wanted the murderer to be gone.
âLetâs not talk about Yasmin and Michael for now. Have you found where Jack Brown is?â I squinted. I thought of tackling the matter with Jack as a starting point.
âHeâs at the bar. Where else could he be?â Rachel snorted. âIâm here, watching him. Do you want to come over?â
âOf cab.
course. Tonight⦠Iâm going to scare him out of his wits!â I gritted my teeth and flagged down at One by one, I would teach them a lesson. Jack would be the first!
