Chapter 364
"I almost feel sorry for you, Stephany. If you went missing, they would think that you're the devil whodeceived and trafficked those children. No one would remember the good deeds you've done. Howstupid of you." Howard sneered, deriding Stephany's naivety.
Honestly, I felt sorry for Stephany too. She had done so much for the children… to the extent ofimpersonating "Stephanie" and marrying Steven just to get money for those kids' medical treatment.
However, her kind heart was exploited by these malicious people, ultimately causing harm to herselfand those children.
"Steve is a complete lunatic. I'm surprised he didn't die in that fire!" Howard said through grittedteeth, seething with hatred.
"With people like him around, how can good students like us survive? We're just ordinary people.How can we possibly compete with a genius like him? Genius shouldn't even exist."
Howard's jealousy was palpable. He believed that the presence of geniuses like Steve and Simmywas the reason they could never rise above.
"Because they were geniuses, all the wealthy rushed to the orphanage to adopt them, including theLincoln family. Who wouldn't want to be adopted by the Lincolns? Yet, they chose Steve above all.novelbin
"Okay, so Steve's the illegitimate son of the Lincolns! How about Simmy then? Why does that loserget to steal the spotlight too?
"Do you have any idea how much we hated them?" Howard undid my buttons one by one. "Backthen, all the rich and powerful from all over the country flocked to the orphanage to adopt children,as if doing charity could bring them more benefits…
"The principal, teachers, and all the children in the orphanage were over the moon. We thought wehad to chance to be adopted, but in the end… those people only came for Steve and Simmy!"Howard seemed a little deranged.
"Who would choose you over geniuses?" Howard's associate sneered sarcastically as heapproached to join. "What's taking you so long? I've already contacted the other side. They'll behere in half an hour. The clock's ticking, so hurry up! I want to be next."
I gritted my teeth, feeling anger swelling in my chest, but I knew I couldn't afford to show too muchemotion.
owever, as they unbuttoned my shirt, I couldn't help but open my eyes and shout, "HowardZachman, you disgusting animal!" I struggled forcefully, only to realize my hands were tied.
Howard, taken aback by my awakening, immediately reached for sedatives, intending to render meunconscious again.
"Heh, it's more fun when she's awake. No one will come to save her now." The associate smirkedas he began to undress me. "Aren't you a pretty one? Look at this hot body! Can your idiot husbandreally satisfy you?"
"Get your hands off me!" Panic surged through me. If no one came to rescue me, I would be in deeptrouble.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought of Steven, who always came to my aid in times of danger.Perhaps I always knew he was silently watching over me.
"Steve… save me," I cried out, tears streaming down my face as my clothes were torn by them.
As Howard tried to spread my legs, I struggled and cried out in despair, kicking him forcefully.
He slapped me hard across the face, losing his patience. "Damn it. Do that again and I'll fucking killyou."
I cried as I desperately struggled to get out of the ropes binding me. Howard pinned down mywrists, his smile filling me with despair.
"Hmph, if it weren't for that lunatic, Steve, we would've all had our way with Stephanie… Since wecouldn't have that genius's woman, you'll suffice." Howard's words were filled with sarcasm andmockery.
My head buzzed intensely. Had those men at the orphanage harmed Stephanie?
"I remember it was Yasmin who lured Stephanie into the small garage behind the orphanage, tellingher that Steve was injured. Stephanie actually fell for it, haha… " Howard bragged to Bobby.
"At that time, Mandy managed to get her hands on some drugs, so we used them on Stephanie. Assoon as we covered her mouth and nose with the drug, she passed out in no time." Howard pinchedmy chin, a smirk forming on his lips. "It was the same sedatives we just used on you."
