Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 346

Chapter 346: CHAPTER 346 Chapter 346: CHAPTER 346 “Dayton is not the president of Crowdstar Group,’ I mumbled, reaching out to ruffle Yara’s hair.

“Take good care of the younger ones.

From now on, don’t get involved in anything that’s happening with the Rebels.

Just live your life as an ordinary young woman.

Do well in your studies and enjoy life.

Yara looked at me, surprised.

“Why, Ms.

Sofia?

Back when you rescued me from Genome Society, you told me to consider carefully if I wanted to follow you out.

You said that if I chose so, I might live a life of fear forever and would fight Genome Society to the end.” Yara also came from the laboratory.

She was brought back to Genome Society before I lost my memories.

There was a laboratory under Peter’s asylum, and that was where I brought her out.

I lost my memories after that, and Yara had been with the Rebels since then.

Her appearance on the cruise was also part of the Rebels’ plan for her to get close to me-it was to test me out to see if I was really Sophia.

She knew that the reincarnation project had succeeded when Ashton and Xan, who both had “Sophia’s” genes, recognized me as their “mother”.

Most of the Rebels had chosen to follow Carol now.

Fortunately, Yara remained loyal to me.

“You’re still young and have a bright future ahead of you.

All of you will have a better future ahead.” I looked down at her.

Suddenly, I understood why Dexter had gone to such lengths to erase my memories.

Despite not being smart, I could live as an ordinary person.

Sometimes, leading a simple life was a sort of happiness too.

Yara remained silent.

She probably couldn’t understand what I was saying now-just like how I was astonished by my own thoughts.

I found myself feeling a mixture of emotions.

It was a complicated feeling.

I looked down at my hands and smiled bitterly.

What exactly had Dexter been doing during the time I lost my memories?

Why would I turn out this way now?

“Xandra?

Where are you?’ Xandra had disappeared from Dayton’s residence.

It seemed like the entire Huma was thrown into chaos with Dexter’s death.

Genome Society was in disarray, with their laboratories coming to light one after another.

The Rebels had also started their flurry of attacks.

Dayton choked a sob as he looked at Xandra’s name.

He had partnered with Dexter because he didn’t want to live an ordinary life, but he did not expect that Xandra would be dragged into it.

“She was taken away, but not by Genome Society.” I climbed in through the window and looked at Dayton.

I continued, “Genome Society is in disarray now.

As their benefactor, you’re their hope for a comeback after they recover.

That’s why it’s definitely not Genome Society who took Xandra away.” Dayton looked at me warily.

“Are you….

Una?” I smiled and asked, “Who do you think I am based on your first impression?” Dayton backed off in fear.

He was afraid of me.

‘I’ve asked Dexter about the reincarnation project, and he said that it does exist.

Who exactly are you-Una or Sophia?” I ignored his question and said, “I know who took Xandra away.

I can also help you to get her back safely.” “You can help me get her back?” He looked at me nervously.

His feelings for Xandra were truly genuine.

“The Rebels were the ones who took Xandra away.

Everyone’s saying that you’ve met the mastermind behind Genome Society,” I said, looking at Dayton.

‘Tell me, who exactly is this mysterious mastermind behind Genome Society?” We all knew that someone who had hidden themselves so deeply had to be someone close to us or someone we knew well.

But until now, no one had been able to figure out their identity.

Dayton was taken aback.

A hint of panic flashed through his gaze before he lowered his head and started shaking it.

“No…

I didn’t.

I’ve not met them.” “It seems like Xandra isn’t that important to you,” I said, looking at him.

Dayton choked on his sobs as his eyes reddened.

‘I’m sorry, I’ve let Dexter down.” I frowned, asking, “What do you mean?” Dayton said, “I regretted my choice and didn’t go to meet Genome Society’s mastermind.

I told Dexter that I wanted to stop working together.

I just wanted to live in peace and stay out of his affairs.

“I no longer want to attract those lunatics as the president of Crowdstar Group.

I don’t want to expose Xandra to more danger, which is why I turned down Dexter’s offer.” My hands turned cold and numb.

No wonder Dexter had to die all of a sudden.

Dayton got cold feet at the last minute and turned against them as the ‘president” of Crowdstar Group.

Dexter had no other options with his plans already at this stage.

He couldn’t find a substitute for Dayton’s position on short notice, nor could he gain Genome Society’s trust in such a short period of time.

That was why Dexter exposed his identity and personally went to meet Genome Society’s mastermind.

That also meant that Dexter was the only person who knew the identity of the mastermind, yet he died in the laboratory’s explosion.

I stepped back listlessly, looking at Dayton.

His head was hung low, and his eyes were red from crying.

“I’m sorry…

I didn’t know this would cost him his life.

I’m sorry.” His apologies meant he had probably heard of the news of Dexter’s death from the explosion.

I stared at Dayton for the longest time.

Before this, I would’ve thought that a betrayer like him deserved to die.

I could just kill him or ignore him and let Xandra and him fend for themselves.

But why was I still frozen in place, stiffly staring at Dayton?

I could hear another voice in my head.

I was actually trying to convince myself to think from the perspective of others.

Dayton was just an ordinary person.

He was timid, and while he was despicable for the way he acted in order to protect himself and his loved one, his action didn’t warrant death.

I backed away in shock.

Why was I starting to consider things from others’ perspective?

“You need to learn to think from the perspective of others, Ashton.

Try to consider the problem from their point of view.” I recalled the words Dexter once used to educate Ashton.

He said, “The biggest difference between humans and wild animals is that humans have emotions.” Overwhelmed with emotions, I turned around and ran away.

Dayton cried out for me, “Please help me, Sophia!

Xandra is innocent!

I could die if you want me to, but please help me save her.” I went to the asylum after leaving Dayton’s place.

The asylum was relocated here after Andy and my parents passed away from the car accident.

It continued to operate even after Peter’s incident.

The world would continue to move even just fine without someone.

“Are you Sophia?” A young woman walked out from the corner by the entrance of the asylum.

It was Peter’s autistic daughter, Linda.

She seemed to be waiting for me.

“Were you waiting for me?’ I glanced at her warily.

“Dexter said that you’d definitely come here if you recovered all your memories,” Linda said in a hoarse voice.

I strode over to grab her wrist.

“You know Dexter.” “I like Dexter.

I’ve liked him since he was locked up in the asylum.

He’s different from the others-he’s a genius and a star left by God among humankind,” Linda said seriously.

She continued, “He asked me to bring you to the things he had left for you once you’ve recovered all your memories’
