Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 331

"Where did she vanish?" Colin asked, his voice laced with a mix of concern and frustration.

Finn, hot-headed as ever, lunged forward, attempting to grab Colin but missed as Colin sidestepped him smoothly.

"Stick to the facts, man. No need to get physical," Colin grumbled.

With a dismissive snort, Finn pointed to the clue-laden whiteboard. "Melody disappeared around 2:30 PM at I-Futura Park. She went shopping with Dexter before she went missing."
