Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace

Damien suddenly became incredibly resolute. He refused to answer no matter how much I threatened him.

It seemed like Dexter was well-prepared. He must have blackmailed Damien using something he was even fearful of

Since Damien wasn’t planning to talk for now, I wasn’t planning to kill him off either.

I contemplated for a bit after releasing him. "Do you think that I wouldn’t be able to find him just because you refused to talk?"

I chuckled coldly. It seemed like Damien and Dexter had underestimated me.

Damien brought Ms. Ewing back from the sanatorium. She was to take care of me and the children.

"Now that the police have taken Carol away, it’s the best time to reclaim control of the Rebels, miss. Why would you..." she asked, perplexed. She couldn’t understand why I was holding back.

"The members of the Rebels have long been purged and replaced by Carol. You’re too naive if you really think that they were still the same group of people who were left by my parents back then." I coldly chuckled.

"Besides, her ultimate goal is also to eliminate Genome Society. Why not take advantage of her to get things done?"

Ms. Ewing was taken aback. She said nervously, ’But Carol is cruel and bloodthirsty, miss. Your parents didn’t establish the Rebels to promote violence. She’s tainting their original intent!"

After a moment of silence, I said, ’She’ll be dealt with by the law since she’s committed crimes. What we need to do now is to find Dexter.’

Ms. Ewing looked at me in shock. "You want to find Dexter? Isn’t he already dead? He..

"He wouldn’t have died," I interrupted her.

Ms. Ewing looked at me for the longest time. "Have you truly fallen for him, miss? But this man is dangerous. He has tried to obstruct your plans countless times.

"Our plan might’ve succeeded long ago if it weren’t for him. You wouldn’t have lost your memories and remained trapped with the Coleman family, becoming a completely different person’

She was still wary of Dexter.

"Dexter was the only one who had met the mastermind of Genome Society. We have to find him if we want to uncover everything," I said.

Had I fallen for him?

I couldn’t describe what I was feeling at that moment, nor did I know how to describe what I felt for Dexter. All I knew was that it had to be him.

After a while, Ms. Ewing said softly, "Dexter went to meet Damien the night before his accident."

They must have conspired something. I was aware that Damien might be the only person who knew where Dexter was currently, but I couldn’t do anything for the time being if he refused to talk.

"You used to take care of Sarah, didn’t you, Ms. Ewing?" I asked, looking at Ms. Ewing.

She was stunned before giving me a nod. ’I was originally with Genome Society. As they needed the sponsorship of the elite families in Huma, I was assigned to the Coleman family and worked under Mr. Miguel Coleman’

"I was considered a long-time member of the Coleman family. That was why when Sarah came to the Coleman residence, Mr. Coleman assigned me to care for her."

I asked, "Miguel had been the one protecting Sarah all these while, yet she has always believed that it was Andy?’

Ms. Ewing nodded and said, "Mr. Coleman has excellent penmanship. To spare Sarah’s feelings, he mimicked Andy’s tone and handwriting to exchange letters with her."

I nodded. It wasn’t easy for Miguel to love someone to that point. After all, the Coleman family was one of the top elite families in the Huma business circle.

Ms. Ewing continued, "Mr. Coleman mentioned that Sarah must never leave the villa. There would be no room for negotiation if she was found by Andy’s men.

"But one day, she uncovered the secret. She realized the letters she had been receiving weren’t from Andy, but from someone else. She went mad, thinking that Mr. Coleman had deliberately imprisoned her. She attacked him before disappearing altogether.’

After Sarah left the villa, she must have been found by Andy’s men and was offered to Genome Society.

The success rate in using her perfect genes for cloning and genetic experiments would be higher, and the quality of the experimental subjects would be better.

I said, ’You mentioned that the Rebels were founded by my parents and Andy. But considering Andy’s willingness to sacrifice his loved one, he didn’t look like he had a falling out with the Genome Society."

I wondered what caused the rift between Andy and Genome Society back then.

"To be exact, the Rebels were founded with the investments of your parents, Andy, and also Mr. Coleman. He had always been supporting your parents from behind the scenes."

Inodded. The financial power of Genome Society was not easily shaken. Similarly, substantial funding is needed to support the Rebels.

"Go tell the Rebels that I’m back, Ms. Ewing. The faster the news spread, the better," I looked at Ms. Ewing and said after a moment of silence.

She felt perplexed. ’Didn’t you say that the Rebels are all Carol’s men now, miss?’

"Carol wants me dead, and Genome Society wants to capture me for research. The more dangerous my situation, the higher the chance he’ll expose himself." I got up and looked out the window.

Since Dexter had cared for me so much and wanted me to live my life in hiding, then I’d announce to everyone that I was back.

Didn’t he arrogantly want to hide away and sacrifice himself in order to complete my plan for me? I’d like to see how long he could keep it up.

Ms. Ewing nodded before turning to leave.

I stood by the window and frowned when I saw Damien driving back. Why did he come back?

Why was he back despite knowing that "Sophia" was dead? Was he looking for trouble? I felt annoyed seeing him now.

"We’re done acting now. You don’t have to come back here after work." I walked over to the entrance, reminding him to leave.

Damien wasn’t looking good either when he snorted. ’I won’t go back on my words when I’ve promised Dexter to protect the three of you.

"I’ve always maintained that I live here, and everyone knows my fiancée lives here. Genome Society will start suspecting something if I suddenly stop coming back."

He was worried that I might be found out by Genome Society.

I chuckled. "You’re overthinking it. Genome Society will find out that I’m Sophia soon. I’m back now!"

Damien’s expression changed. He looked at me anxiously and yelled, "You’re crazy, Sophia! Dexter went to such lengths to keep everything under wraps, yet you..."

His voice trembled, perhaps out of anger at me.

"You’re really..." He felt like what Dexter had done was in vain. "He sacrificed so much just to protect you. Do you know that he’s now..

I clenched my fists subconsciously and looked at Damien coldly. "I’ve given you a chance to tell me where he

"He’s dead!" he yelled, losing control of his emotions.

My eyes reddened as I grabbed at Damien’s collar. ’He can’t be dead!"

"I’m not lying to you. He wouldn’t be able to deceive Genome Society if he didn’t die. The police have also collected residual DNA from his body at the scene,’ he said hoarsely, lowering his head.

I pushed him away, refusing to believe him. "I don’t believe you."

Surely, Dexter wouldn’t die.

"You’re thinking that he would eventually show up if you continue to expose yourself to danger, right?’ Damien chuckled bitterly. "We’re the same, Sophia. We only realized how precious something is after we lost it.’

What I was doing was similar to how he tried to lure me out by getting engaged to Juliet back then. What was the point of realizing something’s value only after you had lost it?
