Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 

In the backyard, Coraline was throwing a tantrum, tears streaming down her cheeks as she clung to a man

Why is she acting all high and mighty? Daring to hit mewhat gives her the right?” Coraline whined to the man beside her

Does she think marrying into the Langley family makes her something special? The Langleys are practically extinct, and she’s tied the knot with an imbecilea dirty, ugly vagabond who picks through trash all year round.” 

Coraline vented her frustrations, holding tight to the man’s arm

Standing a short distance away, I snorted in derision

Caleb? Ugly? I hadn’t seen a man more handsome than Caleb in all my years

There, there, sweetie, don’t cry. Let’s not stoop to her level. She’s just a dull, charmless idiot. A match made in heaven for idiots,the man soothed Coraline. She can strut all she wants, but she’s still working for you. Once she hands over her share of the Langley Group to you, we’ll have control over the whole fortune.” 

Dream on, I thought

The stench hits you before you even arrive. Keep it PG, you twoit’s broad daylight,I said, walking up to them with a look of disdain

Coraline’s face went from upset to livid. Foebe, what nonsense are you spouting?” 

I glanced at Coraline, then at the man who must be Oscar. You two are a perfect matcha match made in a dumpster.” 

How does that saying go?I raised an eyebrow. Trash attracts flies, a timeless tale.” 

Coraline, fuming, stepped forward as if to retaliate but was restrained by Oscar

Foebe, what happened to you? How can you talk about your sister infsuch a way?Oscar looked at me, his face a picture of disappointment

Engaging with such a lowlife was already more attention than he deserved

If I don’t talk to her like that, what, should I hit her while I talk?I raised my hand, threatening to slap Coraline

Coraline cowered behind Oscar

Oscar stepped forward to protect her

Touch me and see what happens. If anything goes wrong with the baby I’m carrying, good luck dealing with the consequences,” I warned, knowing Oscar wouldn’t dare lay a hand on me. They all needed this baby to secure their share of the Langley fortune, to vie for controlafter

Chapter on 

all, I was carrying the Langley heir

Oscar hesitated, confirming my suspicion

I snatched Coraline and slapped her across the face

I had been so suppressed in my past life, but now that I was reborn and carrying the Langley child, I was on top of the world

If everyone had something to lean on, who wouldn’t be arrogant

Foebe! That’s too much! Do you think this is acceptable behavior?Oscar shielded Coraline in his arms

Acceptable? Why should I be acceptable? Coraline’s a masterpiecewhy don’t you frame her? I sneered and turned to leave
