    "Michael" I suddenly thought of something and turned to call out to him.


    Michael, who was starting to rx while walking ahead, looked startled. He tripped over his feet and nearly fell.


    He stared at me with a bewildered expression, wondering if he was in trouble again.


    Inarrowed my eyes and walked over. "The Ford Group is currently in your hands now, right? Would the mastermind of Genome Society really let such a valuable target like you slip away?"


    The Ford Group was theirrgest ''cash cow'' back when Daisy was still in control.


    Michael frowned. "I''ve been so busy in the past few days that I''ve lost weight. What do you think I''ve been doing? Those from Genome Society havee after me more than once.


    "When they saw that I refused to budge, they started trying to undermine me within thepany, iming that I wasn''t fit to take over. The board members have probably been bribed by now."C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Iraised my brows. It seemed like Michael was still valuable. Steven wouldn''t have deigned to cooperate with someone he disliked so much otherwise


    I smiled and slightly softened my attitude toward him. After all, valuable things sometimes required some emotional investment. ''Michael, I recalled you saying that you wanted to atone for your mistakes, right?" Michael stood stiffly in ce before staggering backward, covered in chills. He was looking at me warily. "Remember to contact me if Genome Societyes after you again,'' I said indifferently. I walked a few steps before turning back to give him a pointed look. "You''re trustworthy, right?"


    Michael lowered his head in disappointment. After a while, he said, "This vi is under my name."


    He meant to say that both Steven and I would''ve been taken away by Genome Society if he wasn''t trustworthy.


    I said nothing and turned to leave. Before getting into the car, I could still see Michael standing there like a fool.


    He was rather pitiful, but that was none of my concern.


    "Stephanie" was already dead, and I was just Steven''s Stephie.


    It had only been a few months, yet the row of motels near the rental house that hadn''t been torn down was now gone.


    Zion, Eason, and I went to a cheap chain hotel by the side.


    "Can''t you arrange for something better?" I asked, looking at Eason.


    That was stingy of him, considering that he was quite rich.


    "Mr. Leigh insisted on staying in a cheap hotel and even wanted to pay me for it. He probably would''ve ended up sleeping under a bridge if I hadn''t mentioned that the higher-ups were subsidizing it," Eason replied helplessly. "But tell me, can you arrange for me to meet Joel?"


    His goal was to meet Joel. As such, he wanted to reconfirm with me before I met Floyd.


    "Never suspect the person you''re using." I said before pushing him away and entering the room.


    Floyd wasn''t working today. He was waiting rather anxiously. "Miss, you''re..."


    He looked at me for the longest time, probably thinking I looked slightly different from before. At the same time, he was also suspecting that he was losing his eyesight instead. "I''m getting old, and my mind isn''t as sharp as it used to be."


    Floyd smiled heartily, urging us to sit down.


    The room was a long-term rental. Despite workingboriously, his room was clean and organized.


    "We''ve found your sister," I said, cutting to the chase


    Floyd stared at me in shock before turning to look at Eason and Zion.


    Both Zion and Eason were taken aback. The n was to keep Sarah''s condition a secret for now.


    I continued, ''But her condition isn''t the best. She isn''t clear-headed after being trafficked for many years. I''m nning to only bring you to meet her after she''s regained some of her memories."
