Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

ver meant to deal with Melody. After all, if Dexter had really taken his own life, there's no way Melody would have the energy to come over and cause a scene. Her shouting and making a fuss seemed more like a deliberate act.

If I'm guessing right, there must be reporters or someone lurking around. Melody was putting on a show.

I frowned, feeling like every move this woman made was part of her and Damian's next scheme.

But, unfortunately, she managed to stir Colin.

Colin walked out into the yard, looking at Melody outside.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Melody visibly tensed up, taking a step back. "Caleb Langley, Dexter's gone, it's all because of Foebe, haven't you ever doubted her identity?"

Colin's cold gaze fixed on Melody. "Not leaving? I'll let the dog out."

With a slight gesture, the butler prepared to open the gate, and Coly, our eager dog, was ready to dash out.

Melody, terrified, looked at Colin, her face turning pale.

"I have proof!" Melody shouted in desperation. "Caleb, I have proof that Foebe is a fraud... She's not the real Phoebe; she's been deceiving you all."

Trembling, Melody took out an envelope, from which several photos fell out.

Colin had no intention of entertaining her and signaled the butler to open the gate.

As soon as there was a small gap, Coly bolted forward.

Melody, scared out of her wits, screamed, ran to her car, and slammed the door shut.

Colin walked to the gate indifferently, only looking down at the photos after Melody had fled.

From upstairs, I couldn't see the photos clearly but had a feeling things weren't as simple as they seemed.

Melody wouldn't have come all this way for nothing.

I hurried downstairs, wanting to see what she had brought, but by the time I got there, Colin had already torn up all the photos.

"What was Melody shouting about?" I asked.

Colin instinctively hid the torn pieces behind him. "Nothing... She's crazy."

I didn't respond or inquire further about the photos.

Colin didn't mention them either, lowering his head as he approached me. "Phoebe, are you still mad at me?"

I remained silent.

Colin kept his head down, not daring to look up at me.

"Foebe Larson." Another black car pulled up outside. As the window rolled down, I saw Dexter's mother.

I was startled for a moment. Had Hailey come back because of Dexter's suicide?

Could it be true?

"Hailey," I greeted respectfully as always.

"Let's talk," Hailey said coldly, her gaze shifting to Colin. "Sorry, I need to borrow your wife for a moment."

Colin grabbed my arm, his gaze just as cold. "Not happening."

Hailey's expression darkened

slightly, speaking softly yet firmly. "Selling off the Langley family's assets t someone else, you've become the laughingstock of the entire Sea City business community. What do you have left to speak to me with such an attitude?

Hailey was right; Caleb had sold the Langley family's business to All-Stars Consortium, which was seen as a traitorous act by the Langley family.

And in the business community, it was a joke. Who in their right mind would sell off their family's assets at rock-bottom prices? It was a move only a fool would make.

Moreover, this decision had Henry and the Langleys all up in arms.

Now that All-Stars Consortium had begun restructuring and acquiring new businesses, Henry might be too preoccupied to deal with Colin at the moment, but he surely despised Colin, It was only a matter of time before he took action against Colin.

I frowned, still stepping in front of Colin. "Hailey whatever Colin has done, it's our family's business. Your son wasn't exactly a role model

either. If you hadn't kept things nee

under wraps, Dexter would have been the laughingstock of Sea City long before the incident with Phoebe."
