Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 377



"No way," Stella shook her head. "Phoebe Caldwell reincarnating into Melody? Gross... Better off dead."

The gloom of the past few days was finally lifted in that moment, drawing a laugh from us both.

I bowed my head in resignation, laughing till I felt like crying. "Yeah, waking up as the person you loathe most is practically a fate worse than death." Seeing me laugh, Stella reached out and took my wrist. "Don't overthink it. She thinks she can fool everyone, but those who truly cared for Phoebe Caldwell can't be deceived. Details and feelings are hard to mimic. Who does she think she is..."

I too felt that Melody was fighting a losing battle.

But her charade wasn't for convincing us; it was aimed at Dexter and Colin.

Dexter had long been brainwashed and manipulated by Damian. It was no surprise he believed Melody was Phoebe Caldwell.

But Colin...

I tried calling Colin.

He rejected my call the first time.

He never used to do that.

"Colin won't be fooled by her," Stella sighed. "Phoebe... sometimes, you've got to try trusting someone. Constantly doubting someone is exhausting." Stella always had a knack for seeing through me.
