Revenge After Death

Chapter 279
I smiled. Charles and Martin were prepared to kick me out of the Lincoln family.
With the marriage contract in place, I would be Steven's legal guardian. Only I have the authority to send him to an asylum among his relatives.
If I was no longer around, Steven's guardianship would fall into the hands of Ignatius. Martin would then be able to deal with Steven as he pleased.
"Who said I wasn't aware of it? I'm determined to marry Steven. I am his wife and his only legal guardian. Is there a problem?" I said as I got up and looked at both Charles and Martin.
"This villa of Steven's is rented, Mr. Martin. No one knows that we live here, but I was almost killed at home a while back. Our address has been leaked, and today you came directly to our door.
"Don't tell me..." I looked at Steven before continuing, "The one who wanted to kill me was actually you?"
The power struggle of the Lincolns had now garnered widespre sectors. It has become a hot topic online.
attention from the media and the other
If Martin wanted to whitewash his image to take over the Lincoln Group, he would have to play the kind-hearted persona in front of the public. As such, he couldn't let anything happen to both Steven and I.
But he could certainly sow discord between us.
Martin said, "It's all thanks to the police that we could find you here, Stephany. As an elder of the Lincoln family, I also have the rights to keep both of you safe."
He smiled before continuing, "You're a smart woman, Stephany. It would work to your benefit if you leave the Lincoln family. We will give you anything you want and deserve.
"You will not lack any money, and we'll help to fill in the funding gap for the Larson family. This is all for your own good."
Since forceful approaches didn't work, Martin decided to go with the gentle approach.
Zion remained silent as he was an outsider, but he was worried these people might attack me. As such, he had been vigilantly keeping watch at a side with Stevie.
Charles said, "Your Mom and I had indeed neglected you all these years, Stephy. I was ignorant then, I shouldn't have agreed to marry you into the Lincoln family. My daughter shouldn't have had to marry a dimwit in the first place."
He was even choked in a sob as he wiped his tears before continuing, "Come back with me, Stephy. The Greysons have already annulled the marriage with Annie, and Kelvin said that you are the person he loved.
"As long as you're willing to get the divorce and abort the baby, he wouldn't mind that you've been married before. He will take you as his wife," Charles said as he eyed the car that was parked by the side.
As expected, Kelvin was here too. Was this a scumbag's gathering now?
Chapter 29
I looked at Kelvin. He had a terrified look on his face. Clearly he was scared out of his wits by the way Steven had set the dog on him previously. He dared not come, but he had no choice,
He got out of the car and stood behind the car door, looking timid like a mouse.
"Stephy- Kelvin eyed me and tried speaking again, "As long as you leave that psycho, I'll... I'll marry you!"
I raised my eyebrows and replied, "Do you know that mental illness is contagious? I now have a mental
Illness too."
I smiled before looking at Stevie by my side and instructing, "Stevie, bite him!"
Stevie's innocent look turned sharp instantly. It then rushed toward Kelvin and pounced on him. Kelvin was scared shitless and ran into the car in a hurry before slamming the door shut.
"Stevie!" I called out. Stevie, who had been pouncing on the car door, ran back and nuzzled against my
legs.
I coldly looked at Charles, who was beginning to feel afraid, and said, "Ann's grandmother has been caught. You're well aware that your family is full of human traffickers, right?"
The overwhelming public opinion online was all zeroed in on Ann now. The Greysons wouldn't be so eager to get the divorce otherwise.
"Shouldn't you hurry back to coax your precious adoptive daughter now? What is this display of fatherly love now? You're asking me to get a divorce? Are you even worthy?" I said as I looked at Charles indifferently while caressing Stevie's head.
He was evidently frightened by my gaze and hid behind Martin in a flurry.

The color drained from Martin's face as he snorted coldly and said, "You're
overestimating yourself and
digging your own grave."
He thought that he was giving me a way out.
"I am the legal guardian of Steven from now onwards, Martin. You'll have to get
my consent for whatever
you wanted to do with him," I threatened with a low voice.
Martin started to laugh. He was a cunning old fox after all. I knew he had other
ways around.
"The funeral is tomorrow. Remember to bring him along," Martin said.
He then got into the car and left.
