Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 251

Henry, I’m Caleb’s guardian, not you! You don’t get to call the shots for me!” I stood firmly in front of Colin, my gaze wary as I faced down the bodyguards.

“Who do you think you are, talking to Mr. Henry like that? The Langley family is his to command now,” someone from within the house spoke up, backing Henry.

After all, Caleb had cut off their allowances, which had sparked fury among the Langleys.

Colin’s eyes were sharp, glancing at the speaker as if looking at a dead man.

“If you want to see bloodshed in broad daylight, just you try me.” My stance was resolute as I shielded Colin, showing no sign of stepping aside.

Henry clearly couldn’t care less about my life; he was here today to provoke Colin, to test if the man really had lost his mind.

They were sizing each other up.

And me, I was just an obstacle Henry needed to remove to get a clear read on Colin.

But Henry had surely done his homework on Foebe Larson, the Larson family’s daughter who had just cut ties with Anthony. No doubt Anthony had already cozied up to Henry, so he was confident I couldn’t stir up any trouble. –

Truth be told, I am pretty powerless right now.

All my hopes were pinned on Eric, praying he still had some fight in him.

But Eric, this time, just stood by calmly, showing no intention of intervening.

Didn’t the Langley family have their own muscle? At the very least, I couldn’t let them take Colin away.

“Mr. Henry, the folks from the mental institution are here,” a bodyguard announced from the doorway.

Eric cast a meaningful glance at Colin, but he remained silent, not moving an inch.
