Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

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.

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