Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 359



"Right from the get-go, I knew he was on edge, keeping everyone at arm's length. And now, it looks like he's on a cleaning spree, silencing one after the other..." Hailey murmured under her breath, her voice barely above a whisper.

The veins on her neck stood out, a testament to the fury she was struggling to contain.

"Six o'clock, at Shore Dine. Meet me there, we'll discuss new terms. If you're a no-show, don't say I didn't warn you," Hailey threw down her ultimatum before driving off.

Once her car disappeared around the corner, I dashed to the dumpster, rummaging through it for the envelope Colin had discarded earlier. It contained photos that Melody had brought over.

Despite Colin having torn them to shreds, I managed to piece them back together.

The photos captured secret meetings between Foebe and Damian, and Foebe taking a homeless kid to meet a stranger.

But no, not a stranger.

After piecing the photos back together as best as I could, my breath hitched.

The man Foebe took the homeless kid to see was the second victim in the string of murders, rumored to be involved in some import-export business. Considering Hailey's ominous words, it seemed Foebe was far from the simple figure I had imagined.
