Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 

Leyed Dexter warily, my expression darkening. 

What was got into this man again? 

“Who are you yelling at? Knock it off, it’s gross.” I shoved past Dexter, eager to escape the 

elevator. 

But Dexter, in a sudden fit of paranoia, clutched at my wrist, yanking me back. “You’re Phoebe, 

aren’t you…” 

His voice was hoarse and also laced with a tinge of excitement. 

Panic fluttered in my chest, but I mustered a calm strength to push him away. “If you’re gonnal have a meltdown, do it somewhere else. This is the Langley Group, not your home.” 

The elevator dinged open, and the staff filed out onto their respective floors, leaving just me. 

Dexter, and his assistant. 

Dexter didn’t speak again, his gaze fixed on me, sending shivers down my spine. 

“Mr. Fitzgerald, right this way, please.” The elevator doors parted, and Eric was waiting. 

He didn’t seem the least bit surprised to see me. 

Dexter’s look was complicated as he stepped out of the elevator. 

I followed, my heart still racing. 

He couldn’t possibly recognize me, could he? 

He’s deluding himself, 

My clenched hands slowly relaxed, and I wiped the sweat from my palms, trailing behind Eric.. 

“Did Colin… Caleb run into trouble at the company?” 

Eric seemed unfazed as he glanced back at me, “A few businesses of Mr. Henry’s are in trouble. and under the police’s investigation, so he’s been tied up and hasn’t had the chance to come by. For now, it seems like no one else at the company has the guts to mess with the young master.” 

I was taken aback for a fleeting moment. So Henry’s business had problems too. Was it Caleb’s dumb luck or… 

It all seemed a bit too convenient. 

“With Mr. Henry’s people being the only ones bold enough to stir things up and him being out of the picture, they naturally wouldn’t dare make a move,” I nodded. 

Brendan’s influence in the company wouldn’t just vanish due to days of bedridden. Most people were still wary of him.

Chapter 125 

If Henry wanted a shake–up in the Langley Group, it would take time, 

“Mr. Henry won’t be held back forever. He’ll come after the young master sooner or later Eric whispered, as if for my ears alone. “That’s why the deal with the Fitzgerald Group needs to so 

through.” 

“I’ve looked into this deal. Dexter coming personally to the Langley Group, so it looks like they’re the ones desperate for a partnership anyway. Besides, with the Langley Groups clout in Sea City, they shouldn’t be held back unless Henry and Dexter have struck a deal and are planning some mischief.” I lowered my voice.
