Chapter 2712

Gwen was startled.

"How did he get hurt?"

"It's because of you." Kate sneered and looked at Gwen.

The image of a vehemently determined Steven during the early morning in the Hughes family
residence appeared in Kate's mind.

"If Gwen Larson came to look for me, then the very least I need to do is to meet with her and clear the
air with her," was what he said.

At that time, Steven's father wanted to stop him from meeting with Gwen.He did not want Steven to be
affiliated or had connections with the people Luke knew.

Thus, he ordered the bodyguard to encircle him in the middle.

A bodyguard took out a military knife to threaten Steven, asking him to calm down and to not meet with
Gwen.

Kate knew it was wrong to use violence to stop Steven from meeting Gwen.

Nonetheless, she would use that method too if she was Steven's father in that situation.

Steven had a phobia of knives, most likely due to the trauma he experienced when he was a kid.He
had been scared of knives and similar sharp objects.

To this extent, he did not dare to touch the knife that was identical to the custom-made military knife
that Luke had.He just left it in a corner of the house.



Therefore, Steven's father thought it was the most efficient way to stop Steven.

What he did not anticipate was that the new Steven was far from the gentle Steven from five years
ago.He pushed away the people around him with great strength, and amid the struggle, the bodyguard
accidentally stabbed him in the waist with the knife.

Steven's parents panicked and sent him back to his room while calling the family doctor to treat
Steven's wound.

In spite of that, Steven jumped out the window and escaped before the family doctor arrived.

The Hughes family went to look for Steven's whereabouts through the surveillance camera, but Steven
eluded everyone effectively.

After switching his body to Luke's, Steven's stamina and anti- reconnaissance capability were on a
totally different level from the past.

Fortunately, Kate had installed a tracking app on his phone when Steven found out she was following
him.

Otherwise, they would have had a hard time tracking him down.

Having thought of that, the way Kate looked at Gwen became more resentful.She knew the
brainwashing and hypnotizing were not as successful as they thought.

The reaction Steven had when he saw Gwen was not right, and so were most of Steven's habits and
alertness.

Therefore, it was important to stop Steven from meeting Gwen.



That was indeed why Kate would take the risk after arranging a truck to create an accident to kill Gwen
when she found out the location where Steven asked to meet with Gwen.

In her thought, Steven would return to normalcy as long as Gwen was dead.

All of the abnormalities that Steven had only appeared when he saw Gwen! "Because of me?"

Gwen furrowed her brow, not understanding what Kate was implying.

"But the doctor said the wound on his waist wasn't from recently."

She had only met Steven after Steven was in the accident.How was it possible she was related to
Steven getting hurt? Kate sneered.She had no intention to tell Gwen that Steven was hurt during the
fight when he wanted to see Gwen.She curled up her lips and smiled.

"Because..."

She stared at Gwen's face and talked indifferently, "Because I told you the only reason you were
bothering him is that your boyfriend's organs were in his body.

So..."

Kate lowered her voice and got close to Gwen's ear.Her voice sounded so low and eerie.

"He loves me so much that he didn't want to have anything to do with you.He was afraid that I'm
unhappy because of that.Because of that, he stabbed himself with the knife, thinking of taking away the
organs and handing them to you, not wanting anything to do with you anymore.If I didn't stop him, he
would've taken out Luke's organs one by one and returned them back to you!!!"
