Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )

Chapter 654

Miguel looked at us with unfamiliarity, yet he still said to Daisy, "Those young people..."

Daisy looked at Steven and me with a smile. "What a coincidence."

We wouldn't be able to leave now.

"Indeed," I replied, shielding the kids as I looked at Daisy.

"Let's all have a meal together, then." Daisy gestured for us to join them for dinner.

"No need. It's uncomfortable to eat with strangers," I rejected.

Daisy simply smiled and said nothing else.

I glanced at Una. Her gaze toward me was a complicated one.

I actually couldn't understand something. Una was a smart clone subject, so she should know Daisy's intention for keeping her around.

But why didn't she escape or stay away from Daisy? Why would Una stay by her side despite how dangerous it was?

As we walked past the family of three, they all looked at us with a peculiar gaze.

I could feel a sense of unfamiliarity from Miguel. Perhaps he really was no longer Michael.

"Don't you think the three of them are strange, Stephie? But I can't put a finger to it." Even Rachel realized that they were acting strangely.

I made a shushing motion. We should just focus on eating instead. Who knew if Daisy might go crazy again? Zion and the others weren't back yet, and the mystery of the laboratory in the desolate area remained unsolved. We had to keep a low profile recently.

A waiter came over and said, "The madam over there sent you some wine and dishes."

Before we even made our order, Daisy had someone send over some red wine and steak. The steak was still dripping with red juice, making it seem unappetizing.

"This is prime filet mignon. It's the least exercised part of the cow. As such, it's also the most tender part.' Daisy raised her glass at us with a smile.

She seemed to have deliberately mentioned the term "tender". She was warning us that everyone was just like the steak on this plate-waiting to be carved up.

Oh, how arrogant of her.

I said, "Please send a steak over to that madam as well-make it well-done. She has digestive issues since she's older, so she won't be able to digest a medium-rare steak like this. The asparagus has to be tender as well. After all, older people prefer things that are tender."

Daisy's expression evidently darkened as she stared at me begrudgingly.

Miguel had been silent all the while. He glanced over at me, smiling as if he could no longer hold it in. He then comforted Daisy, "She's just returning the favor. You don't have to think too much about it."

Daisy snorted. "Do you think she's only returning the favor?"

Miguel coughed softly. 'How about we leave for now, then?"

Daisy looked as if she had expected his words. She dropped her cutlery and said, 'I'm not eating anymore. You guys go ahead."

After that, she got up and left on her own. Miguel sighed before getting up to run after her.

Una, however, was calmly eating her steak, even wiping her lips clean when she was done. She glanced over at me as she got up to follow them.

"Why must you follow them around?" I asked, out of concern.

"Surely, someone has to be the steak on the plate,' Una mumbled. She then tossed the handkerchief into the trash can and caught up with them.

Unable to understand her words, I frowned and looked at Steven.

He had his head lowered, not unlike Miguel when he said, 'Don't overthink it. Order up."

I looked at Steven in suspicion. Somehow, I felt as if he had control of the entire situation.

He was the only person who could conduct the Reincarnation Project. Una still remained by Daisy's side despite knowing her intentions. Besides, Una had followed Steven around before this, and he had kept her alive.

She had said that Steven made a deal with her for her to be my backup body. Could it be that he had also arranged for Una to be with the Fords now?
