Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 

My gaze settled on Caleb though I wasn’t really holding out much hope. He’d always lived in his own little bubble, slapping a “Phoebe” label on me in his head. 

Now that he knew I might have been mimicking Phoebe on purpose to dupe him, he’d probably lose it even more than Dexter had. 

“That woman is lying.” Caleb walked over to me, his grip on my hand firm. “Phoebe was killed by her. She lured Phoebe out–there’s proof. 

Caleb looked at Robin: the recorded phone conversation had said it all. 

I glanced up at Caleb, puzzled as to why he was still standing up for me. If he’d only imagined me as Phoebe, it was high time he snapped out of it. 

“It was her who told me to trick Phoebe into going out! You maniac! It’s highly likely you two plotted this together to kill Phoebel How was I to know that Phoebe would end up dead just by going out on the 15th?” Melody cried so pitifully. 

She turned to Dexter, and her voice was choked with sobs, “Dexter, please believe me. I had no idea that calling Phoebe out that day would get her killed.” 

Seeing Dexter remain silent, Melody spoke again, “Dexter, I thought she would have told you; I thought everyone was still watching from a distance so Phoebe would be safe. It was Hank who clearly heard the cries for help but didn’t save Phoebe.” 

They were turning on each other now. 

I glanced at Robin. “Can you prove that the,email account is mine?” I asked. 

If they could prove that it belonged to Foebe, then I’d have to find another way to save myself. But if Melody couldn’t prove it… well, she was the one who’d have to face the consequences. 

Robin looked at his colleague. “Did you find anything?” 

“The login IP is from Sea City, but the email account isn’t registered tb Foebe.“. 

I breathed a sigh of relief and smirked at Melody, “So, why were you keeping tabs on Phoebe. and who were you reporting her every move to? It couldn’t be to the actual murderer, could it?” 

Melody’s face changed as disbelief etched into her features, “Impossible. It was her; she’s the one who contacted me!” 

She was adamant that I had been the one in contact with her. 

“Where’s the proof? Do you have anything else besides this email account?” I cocked my head to the side. “If not, you might find yourself facing slander charges for lying and misleading the police.” 

Melody panicked, putting all her hope on Dexter. “Dexter, you have to believe me. I didn’t

deceive you, I really didn’t, it was all a misunderstanding. It’s her… she intentionally impersonated Phoebe just because she looked like Phoebe, all to get close to you.” 

I raised an eyebrow; Melody’s true concern seemed to be that Dexter might be interested in me because of my resemblance to Phoebe.
