Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace

"You’re truly disgusting, Andy," I said, frowning at Andy. He was intentionally trying to break through Dexter’s psychological defenses.

The bond between mother and child was a deep and complicated connection. Andy was counting on the fact that Dexter wouldn’t truly give up on his biological mother.

"Please reconsider joining us, Dexter." Andy did not say much and only looked at Dexter. Sarah had said enough for the both of them.

"Hey, let us go! My arms are sore now," Joel grumbled.

Andy ignored him and continued to stare intensely at Dexter.

He was more interested in Dexter’s brain, his commercial value, and everything he could achieve. Dexter had the potential to bring great profit to Genome Society.

Andy said, "All these years, the Othard region of Genome Society has always lagged behind Ulophia and Enneria. Their medical technology constantly outpaces ours. As long as the data for the reincarnation project is widely shared and applied, we’ll not only gain immeasurable wealth but also absolute status."

He looked at Dexter and urged him to make his decision. "You know I’m impatient."

Andy was indeed impatient when he decided to abandon Dexter as if he were trash. If only he had played his fatherly role a little longer, Dexter might have been deceived by him.

Unfortunately, Dexter coldly looked at him and said, "Sarah is in our hands. Let us go-including the experimental subject who gave birth to me."

He clearly knew that Andy wouldn’t let us leave, yet he deliberately said those words. It was all just to sow discord between Sarah and Andy.

Sarah looked at Andy. She knew him better than all of us, yet at that moment, she probably wanted to be hopeful this once. She hoped that he would choose her for once.

Humans were born with emotions and desires. Just like what she had once said—with emotions and desires came vulnerability.

I could sense the self-mockery in Sarah’s words from our previous conversation. In reality, she cared for Andy’s feelings for her and hoped that he loved her, even if it was just a little.

However, the reality was harsh. She was no longer valuable to him now.

Over the years, Sarah’s intelligence had indeed helped Andy out greatly. But now, he needed Dexter more.

"You shouldn’t be so naive, Dexter," Andy said with a chuckle. "Do you really think that her worth was comparable to yours?"

Sarah frowned but remained silent.

"If that’s the case, you can still let me go, right?" Joel looked at Andy helplessly. "They’re bound together for life and death, so Sophia definitely wouldn’t leave. But you can let me go. I’m innocent! You see, I know nothing here-"

Joel was trying to save himself. If the three of us were to stay here, he would be in the most danger. He couldn’t let anyone know that he was aware of the data for the reincarnation project if he did not want to betray Dexter.

He started exaggerating again when he saw Andy staying silent. "Are you kidding me? She’s been with you for many years, yet I’m still more important than her? Trust me. Just let me go, and I’ll keep her alive as soon as I reach Huma. Deal?"

Sarah clutched her hands tightly. She could still take Andy’s bigger picture into consideration if it were just Dexter and me, but was she really worse off than Joel?

"Hah, how pitiful." I took the opportunity to embellish the story, flaunting the way Dexter held my hand.

"They have the same genes, yet they’re so different. I wonder why I’m the one who’s cherished and steadfastly chosen by someone," I said, looking at Sarah provocatively.

What she cared about the most was that I her clone subject was being favored more than her the original subject.

She couldn’t stand it and was about to lose it.

Sarah glared at Andy angrily. "Let him go."

Joel’s hand started to tremble. "Hurry and make up your mind. My hand is shaking now-she’ll die for good if I accidentally inject the drugs in her."

Andy looked at Sarah indifferently and said, "I’m sorry. Don’t think of leaving alive now that you’re here."

He was also thinking about the base. As this was the headquarters of Genome Society, it would be disastrous if it was found out.

"Andy!" Sarah yelled, fuming in anger as she glared at Andy.

He flashed her a smile as he slowly walked over. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Stay away!" Joel backed away with Sarah warily but was met with the wall.

The syringe had already pierced through her veins, and he was slowly administering the drug.

Andy reached out to gently caress Sarah’s cheek. "You’ve worked hard all these years, Sarah. I know you’ve sacrificed so much for me."

She was looking at him.

"I felt sorry for you," Andy softly said. "But you’re no longer valuable to me."

A sharp knife pierced through Sarah’s abdomen as soon as he was done speaking. Her eyes were filled with fear and

shock as she looked at Andy. She never thought that he could actually kill her with his own hands.

Andy was also setting an example out of Sarah-he was determined not to let any one of us go.

Joel looked at him in astonishment before slowly releasing the syringe in his hand. He looked down at Sarah, who was lying in her own pool of blood. "How pitiful."

Andy’s men rushed forward to press him against the wall.

"Be gentle, will you?" Joel yelled helplessly.

Dexter frowned at Andy. "You shouldn’t touch Simeon and Sophia if you want me to cooperate."

Andy smiled and said, "Of course."

My gaze landed on Sarah, who was lying in the pool of her blood. Was this the end of her?

She was probably frustrated as well. Her body was convulsing on the ground.

The stab did not kill her instantly, allowing her to be conscious as death slowly crept on her. She stared at the ceiling, unwilling to accept her fate as her pupils slowly dilated.

The woman who had walked in with Sarah was unfazed. She stepped out indifferently and closed Sarah’s eyes. She then dragged the body away before wiping the floor clean.

I stared at that woman. Although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, I could tell she was an experimental subject -one similar to me. She was also Sarah’s genetic clone.

"Take Sophia and Joel away," Andy instructed his men to separate Dexter and me.

"Let us go!" I looked at him warily, refusing to let his men touch me.

"Don’t touch Sophia, Andy!" Dexter was also looking at Andy warily. "I’ll kill myself if you separate us."

"You know this is my territory, Dexter. Your threats are empty since I have many ways to make her life a living hell. "He was threatening Dexter. "Besides, the Reincarnation Project is just a theory you all came up with. I can’t be sure if it’s actually true."

Just like Sarah, Andy was desperate to obtain the experiment data, but he was afraid that it was Dexter’s trap. He was afraid that I wasn’t actually Sophia-that I was actually deceiving them by using Sophia’s memories.

Dexter glanced at me before turning to Andy. "I can conduct the reincarnation project on Sarah. I’ll reincarnate her on her clone subject."

He continued, "You and Sarah knew each other best. That way, you’ll believe the validity of the experiment." Andy’s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Very well."
