With so many police officers stationed here, I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a listening device in
Yasmin’s hospital ward.
“You’re in cahoots with the murderer, and you’re his aplice,” Yasmin suddenly used.,
She suddenly smirked as she added, “I knew it, so you’re his wife…”
I warned her, “You need evidence to back up your ims, or I’ll sue you for defamation.”
“Defamation?” Yasmin pulled out her phone and opened her email. “These are all the emails I sent
to you. Want to take a look? It’ll be easy for the police to verify if you’re the recipient, won’t it?”
I tried to grab Yasmin’s phone, but the door was suddenly pushed open.
Zion and Rachel entered with several police officers. Their expressions were a mix of
disappointment, curiosity, and indifference.
“She’s lying. I don’t know what she’s talking about. She’s just trying to smear my name, attempted

“Whether it’s nder or not, everything will be clear once we confirm the recipient,” Zion
stated, gesturing toward one of the officers. “Take her into custody.”
“Without evidence, you have no right to take me

away,” I felt a sudden panic and instinctively
If this was really Stephany’s doing, how would I clear my name?
I suddenly felt incredibly unlucky. Why did I have to be reincarnated into Stephany’s body? Couldn’t
I have been reborn as someone unrted?
There were too many secrets surrounding Stephany.
“Why pretend to be Stephanie?” Michael’s voice cut through the ward as he joined Zion and Rachel.
His expression, moreplex than theirs, held a blend of coldness and a hint of anger. It was as if
he felt betrayed by my deception.

I chuckled. “Why would I pretend to be Stephanie Carlson? When have I pretended to be her?”
It was he who insisted I was Stephanie and stubbornly called me Stephie.
“Even if you resemble her, you’ll never be her!” Michael said angrily.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
“Michael, maybe you should take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see how disgusting
you are,” I retorted.
A gleam of triumph shed in Yasmin’s eyes.
At that moment, I felt a sense of relief in my heart.
I wasn’t worried about her attempts to frame me.
My real concern was whether Stephany had actuallymitted these crimes.
“I’m pregnant, and I have the right to contact mywyer,” I told Zion.
“No need, I’ve already informed your husband,” Zion replied firmly.
It was clear he no longer trusted me.
“How can you just take her word for it without even confirming if those emails were for me? If there
was any
truth to her ims, Stephanie Carlson wouldn’t have been killed,” I said, ring
at Yasmin.
Yasmin maintained her pitiful facade. “I was just forced into this. You left me no choice.”
I scoffed, then turned to Zion and Rachel. “Do you really believe her?”
Neither Rachel nor Zion responded, but their silence spoke volumes.
Michael seemed to have fully bought into Yasmin’s lies.
I suddenly felt a sense of despair and powerlessness. It was as if everyone was willing to believe
what Yasmin said.
“Stephie.” Just as I resigned myself to go with Zion, a hoarse and urgent voice came from the
corridor.
I was taken aback to see Steven rushing toward us.
He finally came.
Would he firmly believe that I was a fraud like the others as well?
