Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace

Angel struck Sophia unconscious in the villa in the mountain. She was planning to take her away.

"He messed with your memories, miss. He wants to make you forget all those things... Hurry up and recover your memories. It’s time to get back on track." She was crouched by Sophia’s side, carefully caressing her hair.

"So, reincarnation really exists... That’s why Daisy had been preparing for her and Miguel’s reincarnation for all these years. Unfortunately..."

"Dexter did find the secret to reincarnation, miss. You were right-he’s a dangerous person, and he’s obstructing your plan. It’s time for you to recall everything, miss," Angel mumbled to herself.

"The plan is still progressing smoothly, so it’s time for you to wake up." She struggled to carry Sophia, wanting to leave the basement.

"Where are you bringing her to?" Dexter walked out from the dark, looking at Angel. "As expected, something is wrong with you."

Angel frowned at him. Her gaze was cold as she said, ’She has her own path to walk on, but you-you’re the one who’s constantly obstructing her! You’re the one who messed with her memories after that car accident, turning her into a fool who kept crying over a man! That’s not my miss!’

"You’re the one harming her! If it weren’t for you messing with her memories, she wouldn’t have been hurt by people like Damien and Juliet. The one who indirectly caused her death was you!" Ms. Ewing was vehemently accusing Dexter.

"It’ll be self-destructive if she continues," Dexter said, his voice hoarse.

"Don’t think I don’t know what your intentions are. Do you think she’ll ever love you even if you mess with her memories? She’s heartless and unfeeling-she won’t love anyone. The plan was her only focus, and she was willing to pay any price and sacrifice anyone-including you!"

She continued, "Relationships were never the most important to her. Do you think you’ll be able to trap her by your side forever by messing with her memories, ruining her, and changing her body? Do you think she’ll become a loyal housewife just for you? Dream on!"

"To her, your arrangement is just a patronizing insult!"

Dexter chuckled coldly and said, "You’re not the one who understands her the most. You would never understand her pain."

He calmed down and glanced at the people behind him. "Throw her into an asylum. No one is allowed to let her out without my permission. Tell Damien that the plan is starting."

Daisy was already eager to proceed with the reincarnation project. There was no time left.

"I want to save you, Sophia." Dexter’s voice was choked with emotions. "We don’t have time left, Sophia. Live your life untainted and leave the dirty work to me."

"Forget about me, Sophia. I want you to enjoy simple and carefree days under the sun. I love you, Sophia." He kissed her forehead for the last time.

He wanted Sophia to continue living. It didn’t matter if she changed her body as long as she could go on living safely.

Daisy’s men arrived as soon as Dexter’s men left.

"You know how impatient I am, Dexter.’ Daisy looked around the villa and smiled sarcastically. ’So, the cage Andy gifted to Sarah is still here after all these years."

"We’ve agreed that you’ll let Sophia and I go as long as I complete the reincarnation project for you,’ Dexter said hoarsely as he hugged Sophia.

Daisy’s men had already surrounded the entire place. He knew that no one could ever escape if Daisy was still alive.

"Of course," Daisy said, walking over to Dexter’s side. She instructed someone to carry the unconscious Sophia away.

"As long as I successfully wake up in Una, these men will release your Sophia under my secret order.’ Daisy planned to use Sophia as leverage to force Dexter to proceed with her reincarnation project.

Daisy took a deep breath. She was finally about to get rid of this decayed, immature body.

"Do you know how old I am currently?" she asked in a hoarse voice when they got into the car.

Dexter did not respond to her.

"My real age is only 40." Daisy had only lived for 40 years from the moment she was cloned up until now. ’I’ve had adult emotions since I was five, and I was 16 when I gave birth to Miguel’s clone subject-Damien."

However, as she was a first-generation clone subject with immature cloning technology, her body experienced a dramatic decline and aged rapidly once she reached 18. No amount of beauty products or cosmetic procedures could reverse the effects.

"I told the public that I’m 58 this year because I can only be the same age as my original subject, Daisy Lane. I’ll age if she ages; if she dies, so will I," Daisy said.

She continued with a sarcastic smile, "Others think I’ve aged well for someone in their 50s. But if it weren’t for the huge amount of money invested, I might even look older than Daisy!"

"With your capability and my ambition, Dexter, what could Genome Society possibly do to us if we teamed up?" She then turned to look at Dexter with a smile.

Daisy was truly mad. Not only was she focusing on reincarnating into Una, but she also wanted to eliminate Genome Society to become the biggest power player herself.

"I know you’re determined to eliminate and dismantle Genome Society, but their power is beyond what you can imagine. They’re deeply rooted in countries worldwide like an ant colony and have an extensive network of roots in the world like a large tree," she said, her voice low and apprehensive.

Daisy continued, ’We’re all servants of the underground network, while the real superiors are above us-like the trunk and leaves of the tree. They might be the social elites from various countries-bank presidents, doctors, Nobel laureates, financial news figures, or leaders of major conglomerates..."

Dexter’s efforts in eliminating Genome Society were just like a drop in the ocean. And he was clear about what he was up against, as well as his ultimate outcome.

As such, he couldn’t allow Sophia to continue to get more involved. This was as far as she should go. Dexter glanced sideways at her, who was in another car. Their involvement with each other could only go this far.

He would make Sophia forget him completely-as if ’Dexter" had never existed in this world. Dexter had his own mission to fulfill. He lived to die. He would protect his loved one in his own way.

"I couldn’t get over it, Dexter." The car stopped in the underground laboratory of the university. Daisy then got out of the car.

She once harbored dreams and a deep resentment toward Genome Society. Just like Dexter, she had tried to escape and eliminate them.

But in the end, Daisy witnessed the power of capital and the harsh realities of the universe. She ended up compromising and joining them. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

She wanted to live forever.

It was foolish to think she could combat the assets and network built from generations, or even decades, of capitalism with her limited lifespan.

Daisy had to live long enough to have the chance to witness the eventual downfall of Genome Society.
