Michael’s expression fell. He frowned at Ignatius and remarked, “Can’t the Lincolns even keep aneye over a madman?”
Ignatius looked riled as well. Still, he couldn’t refute it because firstly, the Fords were an establishedfamily in Huma. Besides, Steven was clearly a suspected criminal and a madman, a stain on theLincoln family name that they desperately wanted to get rid of.
“Watch your attitude.” I stood beside Ignatius and addressed Michael sternly. “Who are you callinga
madman?”
Michael fixed a scorching and furious gaze on me. I didn’t want to be around him for long, but I feltobliged to speak up for Steven and the Lincoln family.
“Are you the fiancée of that crazy man?” Michael confronted me. “Where is he now?”
“Why do you seem more concerned about my husband than your wife?” I frowned at Michael,feeling disgusted just by talking to him. novelbin
Sparing no time to argue with me, he cast me a knowing look and remarked, “No matter how
desperate the Larsons are, they shouldn’t send their daughter to hell. Watch out for that madman,or you might end up getting badly hurt.”

I stood there with a frown and stared at Michael’s figure. Then, I cast a quick look upstairs. Stevenwas at home, that was for sure. If so, who took Yasmin away?
Steven had admitted to his guilt when my body was discovered. Why did someone else emerge atthis point? Was it an open provocation of the police?

Ignatius might not care about my health, but he was concerned about the well–being of his futuregrandchild. He relented. “Fine. Go upstairs and have a rest.”
I nodded and made my way upstairs, only to be stopped by a woman. Young and good–looking,looked like the daughter of a wealthy family.

“Steven Lincoln was once regarded as a genius. Don’t you know that he enrolled in advancedclasses at the age of ten?”
Hearing that, Lena chuckled sarcastically. “How pathetic of you to bring up these useless facts fromyears ago! Everyone in Huma knows that Steven Lincoln, an illegitimate child who grew up in anorphanage, is a murderous madman.”
