Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

I certainly didn’t expect the Larson family to work miracles for Foebe’s grandma, but with Anthony’s cards on the table. I had a clear picture in my head.

Anthony thought I was still the same old Foebe, easy to manipulate. He couldn’t be more

wrong.

The Foebe of the past might have harbored some sentimental feelings for Anthony and his wife, tied by blood and familial bonds, but not me,

My parents were taken from me in a car accident when I was eighteen, and as for Anthony and his wife, they were no parents to me.

“Dad, you’ve got it all wrong. I mean, I’m the head honcho at the Langley family now. Brendan might be heading back home, but he’s had a stroke and lost all his clout. And that Samuel guy? He’s out for the count. The Langley folks have to listen to me now,” I said with a quick smile, eager to clarify.

Anthony snorted, squinting at me. “The Larson family raised you for years. You came back to us at eighteen, but we’re your flesh and blood, We’ve nurtured you since then. We rise and fall as one, you got that?”

I nodded earnestly. “Dad, I get it, I do.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

He gave a curt nod. “Right now, we need to think about how to take control of the Langley estate as soon as possible. That Henry has a firm grip on the company. Given enough time, he could snatch everything away from us, and they won’t go easy on you.”

“Dad, what’s the plan?” I asked softly.

He gave me a look. “We’re going to get your sister into the Langley Group. You came back too late, missed out on the proper upbringing, and don’t know the first thing about running a business. We’ll get your sister in there to help you out. Once she’s got a foothold, you can transfer any shares you get to her.”

I looked at Anthony, trying to keep a straight face. His true intentions were as clear as day.

Why on earth would I hand over my shares to Coraline?

That’s laughable.

“Dad, it’s not that easy to just insert someone into the Langley Group. Coraline’s gotta prove herself, right? I’ve never dealt with the company’s ins and outs; how would I know how to sneak someone in?” I said quietly. “If she can’t even get through a Langley hiring process. how’s she supposed to carry such responsibility and earn respect?”

I sighed.

“Dad, I’m just thinking about our grand plan here. What do you think?”

Anthony looked at me and nodded. “Fine, I’ll handle it. Your job is to pave the way for Coraline

and Oscar.”

I stayed quiet as Anthony spoke again. “Foebe, you’re part of the Langley family now. There are times you should step aside for your sister. You and Oscar just aren’t meant to be.”

I smiled without a word.

Oscar, Foebe’s boyfriend, supposedly came from money, but the family’s fortunes had dwindled, and Oscar himself wasn’t exactly capable. So, the plan was to hitch Coraline’s wagon to the Langley star.

Bold indeed. It’s the classic case of biting off more than one can chew.

“If there’s nothing else, you can go. Get yourself ready,” Anthony waved dismissively.

I raised an eyebrow.

What kind of father was this? Calling me back home without so much as a meal to offer.

Coraline stole Foebe’s boyfriend, and I was expected to help her infiltrate the Langley Group, hand over my shares, and support a deadbeat?

Back when I lived with the Fitzgeralds, I only put up with Dexter’s mistreatment because I had no other choice. Fighting back only invited more beatings, so I endured in silence.

But that didn’t mean I was an idiot.

ver imagined the Larsons would be so brazen as to treat someone like an idiot. It just showed how demeaned and dehumanized Foebe must have felt all these years within their

walls.

“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.” I said, glancing at the time and standing up to leave.
