Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 265

Outside, Dexter and Damian walked in.

Melody was in tears, desperately calling for Dexter to save her. “Dexter, she’s lost it. Save

Dexter was clearly taken aback. “Phoebe… put the lighter down.”

Damian, equally shocked, stepped forward. “Phoebe, take it easy, drop the lighter, take a deep breath. You don’t really want to hurt anyone, right?”
