Revenge After Death



Floyd remained stunned for the longest time. His fingers trembled uncontrollably as he teared up. 'Sarah has finally been found.

He broke down and cried. He crouched on the ground as his body shook violently. I could tell that the bond between the siblings was genuine and not an act.

I reached out to help him up before asking, "Are you and Sarah the only children in your family, Mr. Leigh?" Family planning wasn't a thing yet back in their time. It was rare for a family from a small village to only have two children.

"Our parents died early. They left shortly after Sarah was born. I practically raised her on my own. She was a good child," Floyd said, wiping his tears.

"We were poor when we were young, and our parents didn't leave us anything. I worked hard to send her to school, but she dropped out because she didn't want me to overwork myself.

"She was incredibly smart. There weren't many educated people in the county back then. She even won first place in a county competition back when she was still in middle school," he proudly recounted.

He then pulled out an old certificate from a box. Although it had yellowed with age, he had kept it in excellent condition.

Floyd continued, "That competition came with a cash prize of 800 dollars for first place, and she gave all of it to me. Once things got a little better, I suggested she continue her studies, but she'd rather work instead.

"She wanted to earn money and start a business after so that she could get other educated people to work for her.'

The Sarah that Floyd knew was still an ambitious person.

I glanced at the competition certificate that was in my hand. Genome Society still preferred to select their preferred experimental subjects by holding competitions. Evidently, there were more geniuses who had gone missing during that time.

"Can I have this certificate, Mr. Leigh? Since Sarah can't remember anything now, perhaps showing this to her might trigger her memories. Don't worry, I'll do my best to let you meet her soon," I said with a smile.

Floyd wiped his tears and nodded hurriedly. "Just take it, miss. You can take it.'

He was quick to trust me as he cared a lot for his sister.

I nodded before glancing at Zion and Eason. "Let's go for now. We can contact Mr. Leigh again once Sarah recovers."

Both of them clearly did not understand what I was here for. They left with me in a daze.

I looked at the certificate in my hands. I had accomplished my goal for today.

I placed the certificate in front of Eason. "Take a photo and look into this. Whoever is behind this competition is definitely from Genome Society as well.

"They've had their eyes on Sarah since then, just like how they targeted Simeon from the advanced class in Double Stars Welfare Home, taking his samples to create clone subjects."

Realization dawned Eason as he hit his forehead. "You're right!"

He was about to take the certificate before I snatched it back from him. 'I got this first."

Eason couldn't do anything about it and ended up only taking photos to look into it.

"Hurry and go look into it. My chauffeur is here to pick me up,' I said, pointing at Cole, who was in the car by the roadside

Eason and Zion nodded. They then got into their car and left.

I got into Cole's car and asked, "Are you aware that your mother served Sarah before this?"

He was taken aback. "Miss..."

He was one of my men. I trusted him more than I trusted Ms. Ewing.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Help me out." I indicated to him that there was no need for explanations. He was adopted by Ms. Ewing and supported by my parents. I could trust him.

"Find a place for Floyd to stay and bring him there. Tell him that it's the welfare housing provided for him and Sarah by the authorities. Have him settle in and patiently wait for Sarah to leave the asylum. Then, she can move it with him," I said.

I wanted my men to take him away first and keep him under control with lies. After that, I would test Sarah's reaction.

I suspected that she actually cared for Floyd as well.

If Sarah was the mastermind behind everything, the fact that Genome Society had valued and indulged

Steven's reincarnation project suggested that she was even more determined than Daisy.

Of course, her insistence was probably not because of romance but kinship. That was probably the value of Ashton's and Xan's existence.
