SWNOVELS Chapter 632
Chapter 632
"Before I turned eight, everyone in the Lincoln family, including Andy, thought I was a defect. That was because I hadn't developed cognitive abilities yet back then. I was like an autistic child with extremely low IQ test scores, as if I was immersed in my own world," Steven said hoarsely.
That was his painful past and also the reason he was discarded by the Lincolns as if he were trash.
"Andy always had a reputation for being kind-hearted in the Huma business circle, and he was constantly engaging in charitable work. Yet, he discarded his blood-related son..." Zion frowned.
He continued, "Even if this was a genome-edited child from Genome Society, that was still his child. It's not like the Lincolns couldn't spare money to raise a child."
Zion felt angry too, yet the reality was such.
Andy wasn't incapable of resisting Ignatius, yet he chose to impliedly approve of Ignatius' actions. Thinking that Steven was a defect, Ignatius cast him into an orphanage and left him to fend for himself.
Back then, genome-editing technology was indeed unrefined. Steven was considered one of the experimental subjects.
I reached for his hand, now knowing why he refused to forgive Andy until now. To him, the Lincolns were also people he could do without.
To Steven, everything was unimportant except for Stephie.
"We would have to investigate Andy to discover the truth, but he's been dead for many years, and the evidence he left was minimal. We could only change our approach and look into the remaining missing persons." I sighed.
It seemed like we would need more time to solve the case now.
We found the second missing person following the order of disappearance.
Her family was still crying. We found out after asking that they only just found out that their daughter was dead.
She was a beautiful prospective college student named Yvette Craig. She went missing while planning to study overseas after her college entrance exam.
Her family had always thought that she was studying overseas.
"How could her disappearance be kept so tightly under wraps?" I asked curiously. Even if she was studying overseas, it had been over 20 years. Was no one suspicious of anything?
Yvette's mother said, "My daughter was somewhat rebellious. I divorced her father, and she lived alone after that. She said that she no longer wanted to keep in touch with any of us after she studied abroad.
"At first, I thought she was harboring grudges against us. I tried contacting her, but I could never reach her. I've always kept in touch with one of her friends. Her friend said that she was doing fine, but she refused to see or have anything to do with us."
The white-haired elderly woman was crying as she spoke. The misfortune of her family had caused no one to be aware of Yvette's disappearance.
"Some time ago, we received a letter telling us that Yvette had gone missing over 20 years ago. I immediately tried contacting her friend whom I used to keep in touch with, but I could no longer reach
him," the lady said, agitated.
I looked at Zion. "Are we able to look into the friend who has been in contact with the family?" He nodded. "We're looking into it now, but we'll need some time since it's an international number."
