Chapter 307 Michael's wounds had been bandaged. He walked toward me. "Stephie, let's go home." I was still in a daze and snapped back to reality. "You go by yourself..." This murder case was becoming increasingly complex.
I had no idea how Steven was doing. He must be suffering terribly under Peter's control.
The asylum was not a place fit for people to live in.
"I'm the only one who can protect you." Michael frowned, gripping my wrist. "Don't be stubborn." "I don't want to go back with you right now." I shook off his hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing Yasmin would only makeangry. I had to find a way to attend tomorrow's charity banquet and meet the president of Crowdstar Group.
"Have you asked Yasmin about the president of Crowdstar Group?" Michael threatened again when he saw I wasn't cooperating.
I knew it.
I looked up at him. "Well, Yasmin is indeed a big mouth." "I can introduce you to him, and your chances of success will be higher. You know that," Michael said solemnly.
Mentioning the president of Crowdstar Group made Michael displeased. He envied the president and harbored resentment toward him because this mysterious figure refused to meet him and did not give him the respect he thought he deserved. Yet, he had offered his help in the past.
Michael felt that the president was looking down on him.
"Are you really being so kind?" I sneered.
"Chwithand stay by my side. I'll introduce you to him," Michael offered in a hushed tone.
I frowned, knowing compromise was my only choice for now.
"Stephany." Zion walked over after finishing a phone call. "Jake's case has been suddenly dropped. He admitted to intentionally provoking Steven. The police officer handling the case is my friend. After discussing it with him, he agreed to issue a letter of understanding and bring Steven back." I looked at Zion in surprise. "Really?" Zion nodded, "Yes." Excitement coursed throughas I grabbed Zion's arm. "Then let's go now!" Michael looked at me, his gaze complicated. He lowered his head and chuckled sarcastically.

Collaborating with this mysterious figure would secure Steven's position within the Lincoln family and make him less vulnerable.
Michael's driver took us home. During the drive, Michael and I sat quietly in the back seat.
He looked ata few times, wanting to say something. "Stephie, finish reading your parents' diary." I stayed quiet as that was my plan as well.
"Steven is on the guest list for tomorrow's charity banquet, but... since he's in the asylum and as his partner, you can't attend if he's absent.” Michael glanced at-me.
I looked at Michael warily, wondering how he would threatenagain.
