Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 95

“Who might you be?” I asked with a cool indifference, feigning ignorance as if addressing a stranger.

Coraline’s face flushed with a flicker of anger, clearly riled by my pretense.

Yet, she quickly let out a sardonic laugh. “Oh, I heard Brendan’s under the weather, leaving you and that filthy imbecile to fend for yourselves. Poor sis, you really drew the short straw.”

I didn’t even grace her with a glance. Compared to Melody, Coraline seemed green around the edges.

Melody was the type whose malice was hidden beneath a veneer of charm, but Coraline wore her nastiness like a badge of honor.

“A barking dog never bites,” I mused internally. “Melody’s in a whole different league than Coraline.”

Now that I’ve faced down Melody without flinching, why would I be scared of a spoiled bully like Coraline?

“What’s with the attitude? I deign to call you ‘sister‘ and you act all high and mighty!” Coraline fumed, blocking my path.
