I looked at the ss monitor suspiciously. In the group chat, his name appeared to be Howard.


    Perhaps he knew something

    “Alright, I’m so d all of you coulde. Please take care of yourselves. Your safety is of utmost


    importance.”


    “Miranda nodded regretfully. “I just want to see all of you seed in your careers, have own


    families, and live blissful lives.”


    your


    The woman I insulted earlier grumbled, “Mrs. Miranda, Stephany’s being disrespectful. She got


    married, but she didn’t bring her husband.”


    I walked over and said respectfully, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Miranda. My husband isn’t in the pink of health.


    too. An event like this isn’t the best for him…”


    The woman rolled her eyes. “He’s just a dimwit, he’s not sick.”


    “Jessica, that’s enough.” Howard was being fair. This reunion was for Miranda, after all.


    “We’ve heard rumors. Stephany married the dimwit for money, but the dimwit hasn’t been nice to


    her. Apparently, he has violent tendencies, and he’s a murderer,” another person muttered loudly so


    that everyone could hear him.


    Hearing theirments, I raised my eyebrows at Ann. “The Lincolns are well–known in Huma. How


    dare you nder them…”


    “Alright, alright. Stephie is a good girl. She must’ve found a good husband who dotes on her.”


    Miranda smiled at me kindly as she gestured for me toe to her.


    “Stephie, you’ve changed a lot. You… You’re finally stronger and braver now.” Miranda’s eyes


    reddened as she patted my hand.


    I nodded. “I’ll protect myself, Mrs. Miranda. Don’t you worry.”


    Miranda nodded happily. “That’s good, that’s good.”


    “I feel relieved seeing how well all of you are doing.”


    “Mrs. Miranda, this is my boyfriend, Kelvin. You may not have taught him, but you must know whot


    he is,” Ann introduced Kelvin proudly.


    Kelvin was the top student in Stephanie’s high school. He may not have been the top student in the


    district, but he was an excellent student.


    All the teachers knew of Kelvin. Some even said he was a genius.


    “Yes, yes. He was the top student every year.” Miranda nodded smilingly. She remembered all the


    good students.


    “They’re sisters, but Ann ended up with a top student while Stephany married a dimwit. Haha…” I


    stayed silent as the others continued to ridicule me.

    “she’s not too bright either. She didn’t manage to get into umiversity. Isn’t she a perfect match for


    the


    “My husband’s not here, but I can still tell you a little bit about him. His name is Steven Lincoln, and


    he was at the top of the advanced sses in all of Huma.


    “He’s an absolute genius. He was scouted for admission and graduated from university when he


    was only 18. “I wasn’t lying. Steven was very bright before he became mentally sick.


    Howard froze. He looked at me with a glint of fear in his eyes.


    He may have hidden it well, but I still sensed something from his expression.


    He must know Steven.


    Miranda was surprised. “A genius from the advanced sses! It’s rare to hear of anyone from Huma


    entering the advanced sses.”


    Someone mused, “I remember Double Stars Welfare Home was named after its two geniuses! Both


    of them ended up in the advanced sses, and that’s how the welfare home gained their fame.


    After that, a lot of rich families adopted kids from that home.”


    Indeed, it was the two absolute geniuses from the welfare home who transformed abandoned kids


    into “hotcakes” for the rich


    Those rich people knew the value of geniuses.


    I kept observing Howard. I was certain he knew something….


    Seeing that she was outshone by me, Ann said quickly, “I didn’t know my brother–inw was so


    impressive! How did he be a dimwit? And a violent one too?”


    “He’s not a dimwit; he’s just a simple person, unlike a certain someone’s duplicitous partner. He


    said he was a top student, but he’s just a scumbag.” I crossed my arms and looked at Ann


    provocatively.


    “I still have some photos and videos from when I caught you cheating in bed. Should I show them to


    everyone?”


    Ann’s face fell, and her body trembled in rage.


    Kelvin was outraged. He pointed at me and yelled, “Stephany, don’t be too cocky. You really think


    you can do anything just because you married a mentally ill person?


    “People who are mentally ill can’t be charged with murder.” Steven suddenly appeared at the door


    and was leaning against the door frame. There were traces of madness in hiszy voice.
