Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace - Chapter 279
Chapter 279
| chuckled to myself, watching the scene unfold like a poorly scripted daytime drama. Anthony and Henry seemed hell-bent on
kicking me out of the Langley family.
Thanks to the marriage contract, | was Caleb’s legal guardian. Only | had the power to commit him to a mental institution.
If | were out of the picture, Caleb’s guardianship would fall to the family patriarch.
And that would give Henry free rein over Caleb.
“Who says I’m out of the loop? I’m planning to marry Caleb. I’m his wife, his only guardian. Is there a problem?” | stood up,
facing Henry and Anthony with a defiant glare.
“Mr. Henry, this house Caleb and | live in is rented under the radar. Nobody knew where we were, yet recently, someone tried to
off me at home… The address got leaked, and today, you just waltz in here unannounced. Surely, you wouldn’t have anything to
do with that, would you?” | said, locking eyes with Henry.
With the Langley family’s power struggle making headlines and stirring up a social media frenzy, Henry needed to play the saint
if he wanted to take over the Langley Group. He couldn’t afford to let anything happen to Caleb and me in the public eye. But
that didn’t mean he couldn’t stir the pot behind the scenes.
“Foebe, finding you was a tip from the police. As an elder of the Langley family, it’s my right to ensure your safety, Henry said
with a sly smile. “Foebe, you’re a smart girl. Leaving the Langley family can only do you good. Anything you want, anything
you’re entitled to, the Langley family will provide. You’ll have more money than you can spend, and we’ll even help fill the
financial gaps for the Larson family. It’s for your own good.”
So the hard sell wasn’t working, and Henry was trying a softer approach.novelbin
Robin, the outsider of the group, didn’t say a word. But he was worried these people might try something with me. He stood by
Coly, ready to protect me at a moment’s notice.
“Foebe, your mother and I, we neglected you these years. | was a fool to agree to your marriage into the Langley family. My
daughter should never have married a… simpleton,” Anthony said, his voice breaking as he wiped away a tear. “Foebe, come
back home with me. The Helm family has already called off Coraline’s engagement. Oscar says he still loves you. If you agree to
divorce and… get rid of the child, he won’t mind that you’ve been married before. He’ll take you as his wife.”
As Anthony spoke, his eyes darted to the car parked nearby.
Sure enough, Oscar was there too.
So, this was a gathering of scoundrels?
| glanced at Oscar, who was visibly shaken, clearly still terrified from the time Colin sicked his dog on him. He didn’t want to be
here, but he had no choice. He stepped out of the car, cowering behind the door like a scared kitten.
“Foebe…” Oscar started, barely daring to look at me. “Just leave that lunatic, and I’ll… I’ll marry you.”
| raised an eyebrow. “You do know insanity is contagious, right? | might be ‘infected’ too.”
| flashed a smile and turned to Coly. “Coly, bite him!”
Coly’s dopey gaze instantly sharpened as he lunged toward Oscar.
Oscar howled like a banshee, scrambling back into his car and slamming the door shut.
“Coly,” | called out, and the dog trotted back, nestling at my feet.
| turned my cold gaze to Anthony,
who was starting to look frightened.
“Coraline’s randmotter has been
akrested. and her family is involved in
human trafficking. You’re aware of
that, aren’t you?” The content is on

The internet was abuzz with the scandal, and it was no wonder the Helm family was desperate to sever ties.
“And here you are, trying to play the
doting father instead of taking care
of your precious foste( daughter.
Telling INeG Yet a divorce? You think
you have that right?” | patted Coly’s
head, my eyes icy as | stared down
Anthony. The content is on

Clearly intimidated by my stare,
Anthony scurried behind Henry. “You
