Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 358

Hailey's expression darkened for a moment, her gaze piercing through me. "Foebe, get in the car. You'll want to talk."

Seeing me unmoved, Hailey spoke again. "When I give you a chance, you better treasure it."

I guessed Hailey's visit was about Dexter. But from her current demeanor, it seemed Dexter's suicide attempt hadn't been life-threatening.

"Phoebe..." Colin tugged at my sleeve, unwilling to let me go with Hailey.

"Sir." Eric arrived, looking somewhat anxious. He whispered something into Colin's ear.

Colin's expression turned grim. He glanced at Dexter's mother and spoke softly to me, "Phoebe, there's some trouble with the Langley Group. I need to sort it out. Don't leave home, and don't go with her."

Colin had already sold the Langley Group to the All-Stars Consortium. What could possibly make him this nervous now?

I looked at Colin, wanting him to explain, because as his 'wife,' I was naturally concerned about his well-being and safety.

But it seemed Colin never considered my feelings as a 'wife.' It was as if I was something fragile, held high and protected under a glass dome, kept in the dark about everything.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Like his plot with Finn to delve into the mental hospital to investigate Damian...

He could have told me in advance. But he didn't.

"Just wait for me at home," he said in the end, as always.

He left without offering any explanation.

I took a deep breath, saying nothing, watching as Eric drove him away.

Bran, who sat in the passenger seat, hadn't gotten out of the car. He looked at me, frowning, appearing unfriendly yet his gaze held complexity.

As Colin got into the car, he and Bran seemed to be in constant communication. I couldn't hear them, but felt excluded.

That feeling was uncomfortable. It was like being the third wheel in a friendship, where two friends share secrets but keep them from the third.

"The Langley Group had an

employee who couldn't handle the pressure of the leadership change and jumped off a building. What was once favorable news for Caleb has now changed direction," Hailey casually revealed, clearing my confusion.

I looked up sharply at Hailey.

"So, Caleb is the villain, the sin of the whole Langley Group," Hailey scoffed. "Only a fool would think selling the company would solve everything. That might work on the е upright, but against a devil like

Henry, it's like playing with fire. Caleb is still too young; he can't handle Henry," Hailey made it clear that

Caleb couldn't win. Content belongs

"The outcome is yet to be determined. Those who commit atrocious deeds will eventually face retribution," I said, lowering my voice.

"Naive. Your kind of talk is just a loser's consolation. Throughout history, it's always the victors who write the history. Behind every great fortune and power, isn't there a pile of blood?"

Hailey sounded like she was

lecturing, yet there was a hint of

self-mockery. "I know it was Damian who sent you to meddle with my son. You succeeded; he attempted suteide. Are you satisfied now?"

I hesitated for a moment, wary of Hailey. "I don't know what you're talking about."
