Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 356

Chapter 356: CHAPTER 356 Chapter 356: CHAPTER 356 Dexter sat stiffly on the ground.

He was looking at me with a pale expression.

After a while, he lowered his head and smiled.

Despite this, tears started to well up in the comer of his eyes.

He had probably waited a long time to hear those words from me.

“You used to say that you loved me too, but all this while, you’ve only been pretending,’ Dexter whispered.

He was still unconfident.

He had always been that way.

“I don’t care if you believe me or not,” I said, pulling him by the chain.

“Either way, I will never let you leave me again!” Dexter looked at me intensely.

He said softly, “Don’t expose your identity, Sophia.

Otherwise, everything I’ve done, including blowing off my leg, would be meaningless.’ He was guilt-tripping me by implying that I shouldn’t put myself in danger if I truly loved him.

“Then tell me, who’s the mastermind of Genome Society whom you met in your capacity as the president of Crowdstar Group?’ I lost control of my emotions and yelled, tugging at the chain around Dexter’s neck.

Ever since I regained my memories, even though everything felt unfamiliar, I had gradually accepted the fact that I had emotions.

I had become increasingly irritable and moody.

Dexter reached out with trembling hands to hug me but was pushed away by me.

He slumped back disappointedly and softly said, ‘Let me handle it, okay Sophia?

We’re almost there, just one final step to go.” I yelled, “No!

What do you take me for, Dexter?

A canary you need to protect with your life?

If you die, would you want me to act as if you had never existed and push me to someone else?

What exactly are you afraid of, Dexter?

What are you afraid I’ll find out?” Dexter lowered his head and stubbornly held his hands together, refusing to speak.

He was clearly hiding a secret he refused to reveal.

He wasn’t afraid of death, yet he was terrified of me finding out about his secret.

Just what was it exactly?

“Get some rest.” I stopped pushing him since he refused to tell me.

Knowing Dexter’s personality, he would never tell me if he refused to.

“Sophia!” He strained against the chain hard, hoping to stop me from leaving.

“Please…

don’t expose yourself!” “Since you’re not willing to cooperate and tell me who the mastermind is, I won’t listen to you either.” I shook off his hand.

“I’ll tell you.” Dexter grabbed at my hand once again I wasn’t sure where his strength had come from, considering he looked so fragile.

Yet with a sudden pull, he managed to trap me in his embrace.

“I met the person behind Genome Society in my capacity as the president of Crowdstar Group, but she’s not the actual mastermind-there’s someone behind her pulling the strings,” Dexter softly said, his voice trembling.

“I met up with…

Violette’ The person he met was actually Violette I was stunned.

‘Violette?” Judging by her age, she shouldn’t be the main mastermind behind Genome Society.

I had suspected Violette even before I lost my memories, but her feelings for ‘Sophia” seemed too genuine to be an act.

Dexter said, “Violette found me right before I decided to meet the mastermind of Genome Society.

She asked me not to go and revealed herself as a part of Genome Society.

“I asked her who the mastermind was, yet she refused to say.

But she was willing to help me to keep things hidden from them.

We orchestrated the explosion to create an illusion that both you and I were dead.” Dexter spoke softly, revealing Violette’s identity, yet I knew he was still hiding things from me.

“Violette is actually from Genome Society.” I laughed sardonically.

When I ‘lost my memories’ from the car accident, Violette came into my life as a transfer student.

She always seemed to be someone under the control of her mother, often mentioning that her mother disapproved of whatever she did.

But it turned out that she was actually from Genome Society.

Was everything Violette said a lie?

Was her ‘mother’ the actual mastermind behind Genome Society?

And was this “mother” never meant to refer to the role of a mother to begin with?

“We’ve managed to keep everything a secret, Sophia.

We’ll proceed to work together to eliminate Genome Society step by step,” Dexter said, tightening his grip on my hand.

“As for Carol, I’ve already had Joel infiltrate her ranks in advance.

With the Rebels taking action at the same time, they won’t be able to hold out for long even if they have a powerful backing.” He wanted me to be patient and wait for a little longer.

“Just hold on a little longer, okay, Sophia?

Let me go,” Dexter pleaded softly.

“It seems like you don’t understand what’s going on now, Dexter.” I yanked on the chain, reminding him to get back to reality.

I smiled at him.

“You should be the one getting some rest next.

You’ve done well.

I can take over moving forward.” I would be the one completing the next tasks.

“It’s dangerous, Sophia!

Dexter refused to let me take the risks.

I ignored him and tugged at his chain before kissing him once again.

He looked at me, stunned.

My kiss wasn’t the most skilled, but it was aggressive and vengeful.

Dexter’s breathing quickened as he pressed my head closer to deepen the kiss.

“Rest well, and don’t think too much,” I whispered.

Dexter looked at me anxiously as his consciousness started to fade.

“What did you make me eat, Sophia?’ I had slipped a drug into his mouth during the kiss-one that would make him sleep.

“Don’t think about it and just go to sleep.

Let me handle it,” I said.

He was willing to risk his life-but so was I Zion was drugged unconscious in the hallway of Violette’s residence.

Violette had been shutting herself in her house all this while.

She had been mostly ordering takeout.

Naturally, it led to a lot of trash As she didn’t want to keep going down just to take out the trash, she piled everything outside her door.

Zion ended up lying among the piles of trash.

Unfortunately, as Violette did not notice him, he spent the entire night outside in the piles of trash.

By the time I arrived, Zion had just woken up.

He clutched his head painfully as he sat up from the piles of trash “Who ate pickled herring-” he asked hoarsely when he smelled a foul odor.

He was still disoriented and unclear about his situation.

“Your girlfriend is pretty slow, isn’t she?” I calmly said as I knocked on Violette’s door.

She had never seemed to be a sharp character to me.

As such, I never suspected her before this.

Zion immediately looked up at me, taken aback.

He thought he was hallucinating now.

“Did you just commit assault on a police officer?” “You’re overthinking, Officer Landon.

You said you’d drive me down the mountain for an investigation, but you suddenly fainted before I could agree to it.

I struggled to bring you over to see your girlfriend,’ I said, looking at him, who was leaning against the wall.

Zion glanced at the house number.

“Violette isn’t staying here for now.

She’s been getting takeout for days, so I asked her to move to my place a few days ago.” I hummed a reply.

‘No wonder you had to spend the night out here.

Violette didn’t even come to check on you.” He looked at me in shock.

“I spent a night out here?” “That’s not important.

You can bring me to Violette now.

I need to talk to her,” I said, interrupting his thoughts.

Zion got up in a daze and tried to shake his headache away.

‘Why do you want to talk to her?” “I’ve told you-I’m Sophia,” I told him without any hesitation.

It wasn’t that I trusted Zion a lot.

It was just that I wanted more people to know.

If I didn’t push Violette and Dexter, they might never tell the truth until the end.
