Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210 

My voice was a low rumble, indifferent as I locked eyes with Melody. 

I’d never forget how, before my untimely demise. Melody had falsely accused me of pushing her down the stairs, and Dexter had insisted I get on my knees and apologize to her. The hospital room had been packed with onlookers. 

Fury smoldered in Melody’s gaze, “Foebe!” 

I snorted dismissively, “Can’t do it? Then you’re on your own.” 

I brushed past Melody, her so–called secrets holding no weight with me. Why waste time on someone I didn’t believe? 

“Foebe! I could kneel to you! But in Sea City, there isn’t just the Langley family that can protect me. Have you heard of the president of All–Stars Consortium in Kingstone City?” Desperation edged her voice, likely she hadn’t expected Dexter to be in trouble, leaving her without her usual support, “He’s been backing Dexter for years. If I ask him, he’ll help me too!” 

Melody seemed confident. She was shrewd. Across the entire business landscape, aside from the meteoric rise of the All–Stars Consortium in Kingstone City, the Langley family was an unparalleled force. 

The Fitzgerald Group had soared under Dexter’s leadership, yet his personal fortune still ranked fifth. But Dexter had become a legend in the business world – the youngest among the top ten tycoons after all. 

The Langley family had once dominated the ranks for nearly a decade until All–Stars Consortium had overtaken them three years prior, pushing the old man to second place. 

The en 

enigmatic founder behind this surging enterprise was shrouded in mystery, with no media coverage and no insiders familiar with him. 

Melody was well aware that clinging to Dexter was her peak achievement. She had hoped to marry into the Fitzgerald family, becoming Dexter’s wife and the missus of the Fitzgerald Group CEO. 

Sadly for her, with Phoebe gone, her dream was slipping away. Now with Dexter’s accident, she knew that both the Langley family and the president of All–Stars Consortium could protect her. But the president of All–Stars Consortium was beyond her reach. 

“I heard you’ve been using your connection with Dexter to dig up info on the president of the All–Stars Consortium. About this mysterious man, I’m quite intrigued too.” I said with a mocking laugh. I had once thought Melody truly loved Dexter, but now her true colors were showing, “Water afar quenches not fire. If you could ask him for help, you wouldn’t be begging me.” 

Realizing Dexter might not marry her, she began to use him as a stepping stone. What a pity. 

The president of All–Stars Consortium was a master of mystery. Not just out of Melody’s reach, but even Dexter had been cold–shouldered. 

When Dexter first took over the company. All–Stars Consortium’s rise was friendly towards the Fitzgerald Group. Thanks to that enigmatic president, Dexter was able to stabilize the 

Fitzgerald Group and bring it to its current heights.
