NovelEnglishChapter 277 Steven had hidden upstairs without my knowledge. When I noticed him, he seemed to be secretly chuckling.
However, when he sawlooking, his eyes filled with a pretense of sorrow. “Stephie, I'm in so much pain. | can't sleep.” What else could | do? | sighed and went upstairs to comfort him. | felt like | owed it to him.
“Stephie, givea massage.” Steven requested. He lied on the bed and extended his arm for a massage.
Distractedly, | massaged his arm.
Martin was unlikely to give up easily. Steven had just had an accident, and shortly after, | was also involved in an incident. Not long after, Ignatius had passed away. Martin's tactics were ruthless.
“Stephie, it hurts here too.” Steven pointed to his chest.
Preoccupied with how to counteract Martin's moves, | absentmindedly massaged wherever Steven pointed.
His chest was firm. Where had he built such a physique during his wandering years? It must be his genetic advantage. What would that make someone who spent every day in the gym? “Stephie, my stomach hurts too.” Steven glanced at me. He was obviously pushing the envelope.

| was contemplating how to retaliate against Martin for the gifts he'd sent us recently.
Steven took my hand and placed it on his stomach, so | rubbed it.
His abs were well-defined and felt nice to touch.
But | wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it. The connection between Martin and Peter was troubling to me.

When | realized what was happening, | instinctively raised my hand and smacked him.
Next thing | knew, | saw Steven curled up pitifully while covering his lower abdomen in pain.
“Stephie, you're murdering your husband.” My ears burned red. | grabbed his ear and warned him, “Shut up.” Steven obediently went silent. He buried his head in the pillow, looking like he was about to suffocate himself.
| sighed helplessly and rubbed his head. “Steven, how are you planning to handle grandpa’s funeral? It needs to be grand, with lots of media coverage. You need to cry and act as a dutiful grandson.” | said this softly, though | knew it was hard for him.

Yet, when his “madness” overshadowed his brilliance, they ruthlessly abandoned him. They even wanted to erase this blemish completely.
The Lincoln family’s lack of humanity was starkly evident.
“The funeral won't happen,” Steven said deeply while burying himself in the pillow.
Steven's voice was cold and laced with bitterness, likely due to his throat’s condition.
“Won't happen?” | paused. Skipping the funeral wasn’t an option.
Martin was seizing this opportunity to manipulate the narrative.
He was promoting himself as the current head of the Lincolsn ,implying that the Lincoln Group should be under his control. There was a knock at the door, followed by barking.
| knew it was a stranger who had arrived.
