“Stephany, you’re not Stephanie! You’re not!” Yasmin continued to scream.


    As soon as the nurse noticed this, she hurried over tofort her. Recognizing that something was


    amiss, she promptly alerted the doctor.


    *Stephany, I’m aware of Stepalinie’s secret. You don’t believe me, right? I really do know her


    secret…” She suddenly grabbed my arm, her voice hoarse and low. “Be wary of Steven. Be wary of


    that lunatic.


    I stepped back and stared at Yasmin, her eyes filled with despair. “The Lincoln family won’t protect


    you, and I don’t need to learn Stephanie’s secret from you. Yasmin, this is your own doing. and no


    one can help you.”


    Yasminy on the ground shaking. “Stephany! You’ll regret this!”


    She resented me for making her kneel today without offering her any protection. However, I ignored


    her. Despite her continued hysterical shouting, Steven took my hand and guided me away. I did not


    turn back. I was not a saint. The more she suffered, the more joy I felt


    As I gazed at Steven’s back, my vision slightly blurred. Yasmin’s words about me and Steven being


    lovers resurfaced in my mind. I had feelings for Steven, and Steven felt the same way about me.


    How could I have let such a momentous memory slip my mind? How?


    “Stephanie! Why are you still fighting with me about Michael? Why do you still hold a ce in hu


    heart even after you’re gone? You’re a lunatic and an evil ghost! You nearly caused Michael’s death


    once. It’s your fault! It’s your fault that he hates you!” Yasmin continued to shout.


    Steven seemed to walk faster. He looked at Yasmin with a sinister expression, took me into the


    elevator, and covered my ears. “Don’t trust anything she says.”


    I couldn’t look away as Yasmin wept until the elevator door shut.


    Rachel, who had been outside on the phone, eagerly approached me as soon as she saw me


    coming out. “Stephany… Zion… The incident unexpectedly went viral online. The overwhelming


    public bacshpelled the authorities to impose sanctions on Zion.”


    I was stunned and checked my phone. Police brutality had be a popr search topic.


    Someone was intentionally influencing public opinion.


    “At first, I thought the murderer behind was just one person, a lunatic. It seems that we all


    underestimated…” My voice was strained.


    The individual responsible was not just one person. They also possessed significant power and


    financial resources. It took extraordinary influence and resources to shape public opinion and


    control traffic flow. Who could this murderer be?


    Rachel looked down, her voice trembling with tears. “Zion was transferred to the traffic police team


    3. He has been involved in this case since the beginning. But now, he has been demoted to a


    traffic policeman, making the closure of this case even more unlikely.”


    “Zion must have been devastated.” I found myself at a loss for words.


    “Shall we go and support him?” Rachel whispered, seeking my opinion.


    She now seemed to trust me, which surprised me a little.


    Steven held my hand. “Let’s go.”


    I was pleasantly astonished by Steven’s initiative to show care for others. “Sure.”


    We all stood outside Zion’s residence together. Despite Rachel’s persistent knocking, Zion refused


    to open the door. Rachel forcefully kicked the door. “Zion, I know you’re in there. If your


    don’t open the door, I’ll make sure the police know all about you!”


    I was aware that Rachel was concerned about what would transpire with Zion. However, Zion


    continued to refrain from opening the door.


    “Zion, get out here! You bastard! How could you leave me? I’m carrying your baby, and your


    dumped me!” Rachel’s tears were streaming down her face as she put on a convincing


    performance.


    They were in the dorm room of the police station. Zion’s father served as a dedicated police officer


    and tragically lost his life in the line of duty while pursuing a dangerous criminal.

    Inspired by his father’s unwaveringmitment and fueled by passion, Zion believed he had the


    potential to be an exceptional police officer. However, reality had made him feel defeated


    many times.


    Rachel’s outburst was so intense that it left Steven and me stunned. We exchanged a nce and


    silently stepped back in agreement.
