Chapter 737
Steven's world lit up from the moment Stephanie showed up in his life.
He had always been the one protecting others while suffering on his own, but he finally had someone to protect him. Stephanie would shield him and teach the bullies a lesson in her own way.
Like an emotionless robot, she would grab a knife whenever she and Steven were bullied. She would then stab her bullies mercilessly while avoiding all their vitals.
It seemed like fate that he was attracted to her.
"He's mine. I'll kill all of you if you bother him again!' Stephanie shielded Steven as she warned the others from bullying him.
She probably was obsessed with beautiful faces when she was younger. Despite being emotionally numb, she could still tell beautiful faces from ugly ones
Steven was very good-looking when he was younger. Stephanie would cup his face and study his eyes. "Your eyes are lovely. If you can't keep your eyes on me all the time, I'll gorge them out and bring them home." He blinked. He only had eyes for her anyway.
Their encounter when they were younger shaped their current fate. It was as if everything was destined to happen.
"When will you stop, Carol? You've already taken everything away from Stephanie.' Joel was looking at Carol as he leaned against the wall.
She had already taken everything away from Stephanie.
He continued, "Steven wanted to let Stephanie live an ordinary life. He erased her memories and made her stay with the Fords.
"You were the one who deliberately arranged for Yasmin and Michael to meet. You continued to plot against Michael so that he would hate and distrust Stephanie, which ended up hurting her."
Joel was aware of everything that had happened. Carol had always been plotting against Stephanie. Ever since she knew Stephanie, she had been competing against her every second of her life.
"Why would you say that I've taken everything from her?' Carol asked with a chuckle.
She stole from Genome Society and ended the lives of Stephanie's parents. She was the one who deliberately spread the news that her parents were betrayers of Genome Society and got them killed.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Carol was the one who seized control of the Rebels from Stephanie. She was the one who made Michael hurt Stephanie and allowed Yasmin to plot against Stephanie. She was the one who killed Stephanie with her own hands.
But even so, there was something she could never take away from Stephanie.
Carol said, "There's still Steven.'
Steven was the one thing she could never take away from Stephanie.
Carol had an obsessive possessiveness toward him-she wanted to take everything away from Stephanie. It wasn't love in the traditional sense. It was insulting to label what she felt as "love". She had never loved anyone-not even herself or Simeon. She was just a born scoundrel.
"Steven and Stephanie are one. You can never take him away from her," Joel said in a deep voice. "Even if life tears apart, you can never tear them apart."
He was mocking Carol for not understanding what love was.
Her gaze turned sinister as she looked at Joel. She grabbed his collar and said, "You're my brother. I know that you're ambitious, and I can help you achieve everything.
"It doesn't matter to me whether they're in love. What I want is the knowledge in his head-the genetic code of reincarnation which he used to bring you back to me!"
If Carol were to obtain this skill, it would be the same as having the key to the largest mine in the world.
She would be able to stand at the pinnacle of power and wealth, heartlessly mocking and manipulating everyone else.
