Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace

Nadia wanted to say something, but Charles beat her to it. "Sofia is my daughter,Dexter, so that makes you my son–in–law. Since your wife hung her sister from the beams, you have to teach her a lesson on my behalf."

He stopped Nadia from speaking because he couldn’t read Dexter. Dexter cocked his head and looked at me. "How could you hang your sister from the beams?"

Charles sighed in relief. He was about to add to Dexter’s words when Dexter continued seriously, "You should’ve killed her before hanging her there."

This time, Charles wasn’t the only stunned one. I was too. Dexter looked so serious.

And so, I educated him seriously, "Shut up. We can’t break the law."

He nodded obediently. "Okay."

"Y–You two! How dare you!" Nadia’s face was red with rage.

Charles also gnashed his teeth furiously. "You’re nothing but an illegitimate son, Dexter.And you’ve yet to gain a steady foothold in the Black family. With Mr. Martin around, you have no right to act so obnoxiously!"

He was pissed now. I raised an eyebrow. "C’mon, don’t tell me you’re mad already."

"How about we... shut the door and get rid of them?" Dexter asked creepily.

Ewan had finished dealing with Ann and Kelvin. He came inside and was about to shut the door per Dexter’s words.

Charles and Nadia panicked. "W–What are you guys up to?"

Charles mustered his courage. "I don’t believe for a second that he can kill us in broad daylight!"

Ewan pulled out Dexter’s certificate of mental disability. He sighed and said, "I’m sorry to say this, but Mr. Black is mentally disabled."

That, coupled with Dexter grabbing a fruit knife from the coffee table, made Charles’ legs give out. Nadia held his arm tightly and backed away in panic. "You’re instigating a psycho to murder, Sofia! Make him put the knife down! Let’s talk this out!"

I gave her a helpless look. "Sorry, but I can’t control him when he acts up."

Ah won back done, but Ann, Kelvin, and their men had yet to successfully sue it looked like the Black family’s security was up to standard, but it something was wrong.

Soon, the sound of dogs barking came from outside. Ann howled, Kelvin screamed, and the bodyguards with them were also yelling. Had dogs been set on them?

I looked at Dexter in astonishment. He had an apple in one hand and the fruit knife in the other as he slowly approached Charles and Nadia. "The Black family has given you 200 million dollars, so you two need to sever ties with my wife.

from now on, she’ll have nothing to do with you and you aren’t allowed to pester her

anymore What say you?"

His tone was airy and casual, but the threat in it was thinly veiled.

Charles had turned pale with fright. He barked at me, "We’ve raised you since you were 18,Sofia. How could you treat your biological parents like this?"

"Oh, you’re my biological parents now?" I laughed. "Have you really cared about the woman named Sofia Miller since her return?"

In Sofia’s diary, she wrote that the Millers thought she was trying to get their attention by claiming that she had gotten acute gastroenteritis. They thought she was made of sturdier stuff since she’d grown up in the countryside.

Sofia went into shock from the pain in the middle of the night. If not for her being

discovered by a security guard when she was running out of the Miller residence, she probably would’ve died from the pain.

Let’s forget the talking. It’s too troublesome. We should just kill them." Dexter turned to look at me innocently

I took a deep breath without responding. This time, Charles and Nadia were genuinely frightened. Charles’ voice trembled as he said, "Get this freak away from us, Sofia. D- Don’t forget what you promised me!"

He wanted to use the fact that Sofia had pretended to be Sophia so that she could

get close to Dexter to threaten me into compliance

I looked aloof. "Sorry, but I don’t remember anything. Your precious daughter drugged me on the day of my wedding, as did James. The drugs were too strong. I couldn’t handle them, and I’ve lost my memory."

Charles’ lips twitched. "We’ll act like we never had you as a daughter. Get this freak away from us!"

"Fine." I nodded,

Ann’s screams came from outside the door. "Help me! Mom, Dad, help!"

I was curious to know what was happening outside.

Seeing that Dexter wasn’t moving forward anymore, Charles and Nadia made a run for it.

But they were even more terrified after opening the door.

There were several dogs in the courtyard. They had pounced on Ann, Kelvin, and the bodyguards. They were trying to drag them to the ground. The smell of blood was in the air. I heard the sound of flesh being torn and screams rending the air. It was a living hell.

Nadia almost fainted at the sight of it. Her legs gave out, and she fell to her knees.

A dog was biting Ann’s leg, and she was screaming for help. Kelvin was so focused on running for his life that he couldn’t be bothered about her. He allowed the dogs to jump on her and bite her face.

I gasped, not knowing how to put a stop to the situation. The Black family’s bodyguards were trying to control the situation, but the dogs refused to let go.

Afraid that someone would die from this, I said in a small voice, "Dexter..."

He came over to me, looking cold. He put the peeled apple in my hand and covered my eyes as he said softly, "Don’t look."

I clutched the hem of my dress tightly. Although this was what Ann deserved...

A few of the stronger bodyguards had already fled, and Kelvin had taken shelter in the car.

None of them dared to rescue Ann. And so, Ann was left alone as the dogs surrounded her and chomped down on her.

Charles and Nadia were terrified, so they didn’t dare to help her. They could only cry and scream for someone to call the police.

"These are strays from around the area. Mr. Black Senior was kind enough to allow us to feed them in the backyard, Ann aggravated them when she brought so many people with her here. We’ve already called the police, though," Ewan said.

The dogs stopped their attacks and dispersed when they heard the police sirens.

They were gone before the police arrived. To my surprise, the dog in the lead was the cute

wolfhound I’d seen in Dexter’s villa,

I thought it was a gentle dog, but it turned out there was a side to it that I wasn’t aware of.

It was so fierce and aggressive that I doubted an actual wolf would stand a chance against it.

"What’s going on here?" The police rushed over to see Ann covered in blood and

screaming for her life. She looked like she’d gone mad.

"This lady here trespassed on private property with a bunch of ruffians. They didn’t look like they were here in peace, and they had weapons on them."

"The strays that the master of this household were feeding were scared, so they bit her. They’re gone now. We tried to put a stop to things as soon as possible." Ewan stepped forward to deal with the police. "Since they were under the Black family’s care, we’ll compensate no matter how much it costs."

The police officers hurriedly called an ambulance. Charles and Nadia had already dashed toward Ann to hold her in their arms. She had fainted due to the fear, and her face had bite marks all over. She looked terrible.

I had mixed feelings as I looked at her from the door. In Sofia’s diary, she had written that Ann had once locked her in a dog’s cage before. She was stuck in there for a whole night, screaming for help. But no one had come to her rescue because the school had been empty at the time.

She was only saved the next day when someone came to feed the dog. By the time she was let out of the cage, she was already a little out of it.

"The matter was brought up to the Miller family, but Charles and Nadia defended Ann, saying that she wasn’t capable of doing anything like that. They were sure that with how wild" Sofia was, she didn’t accidentally lock herself in the cage.

I didn’t know whether this was Ann’s retribution. After all, she had trespassed on private property–it was her own fault she was bitten.

Ewan had already made it clear that compensations would be made accordingly. Ann would have to bear the pain and consequences of being disfigured herself, though.

Revenge was oh, so sweet.

"This is murder! Murder! Officers, they were trying to commit murder! They let those dogs. out on purpose! Mr. Black Senior is already paralyzed. How could he rear any dogs? That psycho’s the one behind this!" Nadia screamed for the police to arrest Dexter.

He hid behind me, looking scared. He peeped at the police and said, "They look so fierce... I’m scared."
