Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 430

Chapter 430

Seeing Dexter frown, Melody broke down, her cries bordering on hysteria. "If it really had anything to do with me, I wouldn't be caught dead in this godforsaken place!"

She seemed genuinely on the edge, wailing in despair.

I glanced back at her and spoke in a low, stern voice. "You might want to tone it down a notch. At this rate, we'll be meeting our maker sooner than expected."

Melody glared at me with such venom, wishing I was the one in the grave.

At this point, I just found her laughably naive.

"If the killer is among us, that might actually be a silver lining," I tried to calm everyone down. "At least, they won't be looking to end things hastily, which means... the person pulling the strings won't actually drop us dead in this elevator."

I was certain Melody wasn't part of this twisted game behind the scenes because she just didn't fit the bill.

My words seemed to have a soothing effect, as even Annora quieted down, clinging to Stella in fear.

The elevator slowly descended.

It stopped on the seventh floor, where darkness enveloped everything in sight.

"Well, that was a wake-up call. Dropping from the thirteenth floor straight to the seventh saved us a few stops at least," Finn tried to lighten the mood, though his fear was palpable, and he didn't dare to step out first.
