Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 62

Chapter 62: CHAPTER 62 Chapter 62: CHAPTER 62 Everyone present was shocked, including myself.

Why did he come…?

Dexter was dressed smartly today.

He seemed to have put some thought into his appearance.

He was already good-looking, but now he looked like the male lead of a movie.

“You…” Kelvin appeared stunned by Dexter’s appearance.

He asked nervously, “Who are you?” No one had seen Dexter in this state, so they didn’t recognize him.

Dexter walked to my side.

He tugged at my wrist and pulled me into his embrace.

His laugh was maniacal and provocative.

“I’m her husband.” His response could kill Kelvin in a second.

Kelvin gulped fearfully and shifted his gaze from Dexter to Ann.

Ann was stunned too.

She surveyed the people around her.

“Dexter?

He’s Dexter Black?

That’s not right.

Didn’t they say he’s a psycho?” “That’s what I heard.

How is he so good-looking?

Wow… He looks better than a movie star.” Those classmates started to murmur quietly.

I glanced at the class monitor, Howard.

He hid himself behind the crowd once he saw Dexter.

Why was he hiding?

He must be afraid of Dexter.

“I’m sorry, my husband was sick a few days ago.

He didn’t plan to come, but he decided to accompany me here to see you.” I stepped forward to explain to Miranda.

Miranda looked at me with relief.

Her eyes were red as she nodded.

“Good, good.

I feel so relieved to see you doing so well now, Sofia.” Dexter took my hand and walked to Miranda.

He resumed his well-behaved self.

“Please take a good rest.

You’ll get well soon.” “What a good man.” Miranda looked at Dexter excitedly and happily.

“He’s so handsome.

You and Sofia are a match made in heaven.” Dexter gazed at me deeply and smiled.

I felt momentarily dazed.

Which… Which was the real him?

“That’s not possible… He can’t be Dexter Black!” Kelvin was obviously unhappy to be embarrassed.

He was supposed to be the star of the reunion.

Unfortunately, Dexter’s arrival had captured everyone’s attention.

Even Ann seemed impressed by Dexter.

Of course, he’d hate to have his limelight stolen.

I raised my eyebrows as I observed Kelvin and Ann.

Ann was staring dumbfounded at Dexter.

She was probably feeling regretful that she wasn’t the one who married into the Blacks.

I sneered.

It was too late for regrets now.

“If I’m not Dexter, who is?

You?” Dexter growled as he shielded me behind him.

I raised my head to look at him.

Even though I was just a puppet to him, a substitute for Sophia, I still enjoyed feeling protected.

Before my death, I had wished that Damien would protect me and give me a home one day.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t give me any of that.

“Hmph, you’ve invested a lot to attend this reunion, Sofia.

Everyone knows that Dexter Black is a dimwit, a psycho.

You should’ve found someone who can play the role better.

He can’t be Dexter Black.” Kelvin sneered.

“I’ve been to the Blacks’ place, and I’ve seen Dexter Black.

He’s just a dirty crazy dimwit.” “That’s right, Sofia.

How could you get someone to pretend to be your husband?” the other people chimed in.

I scoffed.

“He’s my husband.

Do I need you to help me identify him?

What a joke.” “What is this ruckus about?” Another bunch of people entered through the door.

I frowned.

I was immediately wary as my fingers dug into Dexter’s arm.

Those were not Sofia’s classmates.

They were Miranda’s students from Damien’s batch.

Juliet and Damien were students of Miranda.

That was before my parents died in the car accident.

When they were in school, I hadn’t met them or transferred there.

When I transferred to Damien’s school, he had already graduated.

“Mrs.

Miranda.” Damien walked to Miranda with a gift in his hand.

Miranda said happily, “I didn’t think you’d come.” Juliet’s hand was on Damien’s arm.

Damien was behaving indifferently, but Juliet looked happy and blissful.

Perhaps her pregnancy had progressed, or maybe Juliet was acting out.

It had only been a few months, but Juliet looked very pregnant.

Damien and Juliet did not look at Dexter and me at all.

Dexter saw that I was staring at Damien.

He gradually tightened his grip on me.

I suddenly felt scared.

When he got crazy, his possessiveness could be terrifying.

He seemed keen to label me as his, just like what Damien had done.

“Damien must know Dexter Black.

Sofia brought an actor with her today, insisting that he’s Dexter.

Damien, take a look and see if he’s a fake.” A woman went up to flirt with Damien.

At this point, Damien turned to look at Dexter and me.

Frowning, I looked back warily at Damien.

He just took a quick distant glance at me while removing his arm from Juliet.

“I’ve never seen Dexter Black.

I don’t know him.” Scoffing, I looked at Juliet.

“Mr.

Coleman, is this your fiancée?” Damien stayed silent and unresponsive.

Juliet answered quickly and anxiously, “Yes, we’ve had our wedding ceremony.” I asked puzzledly, “Are you Sophia?” Juliet’s face fell immediately as she panicked.

“What are you talking about…” I sneered.

“I must have been mistaken.

I heard that Mrs.

Coleman was the one who arranged Damien’s marriage.

Apparently, his fiancée’s name is Sophia?” Damien frowned and stared at me.

He seemed to be blaming me for stirring up trouble.

That was my intention.

“Mr.

Coleman, where’s Sophia, your fiancée?” Dexter held his hand to check on me.

I wasn’t sure if it was my imagination, but I thought I saw him smile in a menacing manner.

It felt strange, but I couldn’t pinpoint why.

“Juliet, why are you bringing up all this miserable stuff?

Everyone in Huma knows that Damien only saw Sophia as a sister.

Moreover, she was killed by a serial murderer.

You…” Ann wanted to impress Damien.

She thought Damien hated Sophia.

But before Ann could finish, Damien turned and stared at her murderously.

This frightened Ann, but she still tried to appeal to Juliet.

“Anyway, Sophia had a bad reputation.

The murderer must have been on to her for a while.” “What’s your name?” Damien asked sternly.

Ann thought she’d managed to please Damien.

She smiled as she said, “I’m Ann Miller…” “Do the Millers want to disappear from Huma?” Damien’s presence was terrifying.

“Ah, it’s so good that you came too.

Come, come.

Take a seat.” Howard, the class monitor, saw that things were getting out of control.

He gave up on hiding and rushed forward to coax Damien.

“Ann is too outspoken.

Please forgive her.” Howard looked at Ann with displeasure.

“Sophia was a nice woman.” He seemed to know the old me.

He also seemed sincere in defending me.

But I didn’t remember having any interactions with anyone from the orphanage.

I instinctively turned to look at Dexter.

His gaze was also on Howard, but it was so intense it could burn a hole.
