Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 284

He had checked Colin into the mental institution, and Colin retaliated by reporting that Brendan’s death wasn’t natural but murder. 

As long as Brendan’s body wasn’t cremated and wasn’t laid to rest, these people couldn’t squabble over the inheritance; they couldn’t touch me until Colin returned.

Chapter 284 

Colin was protecting me. 

“Brendan passed naturally. Respect the deceased, there’s no need for an autopsy, I believe… Henry began through clenched teeth. 

“What do you believe? I find this suspicious. As his granddaughter–in–law, I have a right to request an autopsy. Otherwise, he won’t rest in peace,” I cut Henry off. 

Henry glared at me, fists clenched. “Fine, very well,” 

With that, Henry left. 

I let the police take away Brendan’s body. 

No wonder Colin said the funeral wouldn’t happen. 

Brendan’s death wasn’t natural, but the investigation would be complex, so the case would be put on hold, at least long enough for Colin to return. 

“Phoebe… I’ll make you believe me. He’s just a lunatic; he’s been the one obsessing over your you never loved him. You only left him after finding out the truth. He’s deranged; he wants to harm you. He once held you captive.” Dexter came up beside me, speaking in hushed tones, glancing around nervously. “Phoebe, Henry will definitely make a move on you, and I’m the only one who can protect you now. Can you trust me just once?” 

Seeing my cold stare, Dexter seemed desperate. “Phoebe… what do I have to do for you to trust me? Il know I made mistakes…” 

His voice trembled, his hands gripping my shoulders tightly. “Your parents… they left a login for a sociall media app. The account and password are with my mother. Go see for yourself, then you’ll understandi everything.”
