Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace Chapter 378

Carol would naturally think of ways to get Sion out of trouble-she only wanted Dexter to make his stand clear.

Upset at Dexter, I walked out of the room to clear my head.

"Hello, Mrs. Black," Ewan greeted politely when he saw .

I glanced at him. I felt less hostility toward him knowing that he was soone Dexter had planted in the Rebels. "Carol is a lunatic. You all need to prepare for that."

Geno Society was making its final push, and so was the Rebels.

Carol was too full of herself. Without Sion around, Geno Society might completely eradicate the Rebels next. There was even the possibility that there were people from Geno Society within the Rebels itself. "Now that they’ve captured Joel, they shouldn’t be bothering the Rebels for now. Instead, they’ll likely use him to threaten Carol," Ewan speculated.

Most people would think that Geno Society would surely hold back and threaten them using their leverage. But would they act according to what most people would think?

Perhaps they might just do the opposite. They might attack when the Rebels had let their guard down while focused on rescuing Joel.

Anything might happen.

"Get Carol to strengthen the security here and set up surveillance within a one-mile radius from the orphanage. Any suspicious cars that show up should be tracked and investigated. "I requested Ewan to remind Carol.

"You’re not the one in charge here." Carol walked out with a mocking smile. ’You don’t really think you’re that smart, do you? You’re just a genetically edited experintal subject who’s no different from those lab dogs and white mice in the laboratory."

I gripped my hands tight and coldly glared at Carol. I resisted the urge to hit her.

"Everyone, Sarah will be released by the police due to lack of evidence tonight. Since they took my n, I’ll take theirs as well." She chuckled coldly.

She was planning to take Sarah.

I frowned. If everyone were to go for Sarah tonight, the entire base would be left open.

"You’d better keep an eye on the base, Carol. What if I was about to say that Geno Society might barge in, but she refused to listen to .

I was annoyed. I wouldn’t have cared less if it weren’t for Dexter being here.

Ewan stopped and shook his head.

He was also aware that Carol was a lunatic. Soone like her could do just anything, and he stopped from provoking her

I took a deep breath and reeled in my urge to kill. I angrily returned to the room and saw Dexter, who was still calculating formulas. "Stop calculating!"

Geno Society would barge in sooner or later.

Dexter was scolded for no reason and looked at pitifully. I gritted my teeth and returned his notebook to him.

He reached out to tug at my finger. "Don’t be upset, Sophia."

When he saw that I was still fuming, he softly said, ’She isn’t as smart as you, and she’s too full of herself. She deserves it if she loses out to Geno Society."

I felt my anger dissipating slightly when I heard Dexter praising .

I huffed and looked at him. "I wouldn’t have cared about her if you weren’t here!’

Dexter chuckled and pulled closer. "Just let nature take its course, Sophia.’

I sighed. I shouldn’t have gotten angry over sothing I had no control over and taken it out on him. Instead, I should be cherishing every mont we had together.

I reached out to cup Dexter’s cheeks and pressed a kiss on him. "Alright. I’m staying by your side no matter what happens."

I would go with him even if he was taken away by Geno Society. We would face everything together, thick or thin.

Dexter pressed closer to deepen the kiss. "Is this considered you giving a carrot after the stick, Sophia?’

"Are you complaining?" I narrowed my eyes threateningly.

Dexter shook his head and said, ’I could never."

I chuckled before crouching in front of him. ’No matter what happens, you can’t push away again, Dexter We must stay together.’

I was only worried that once Geno Society ca knocking, he might act on his own and push away again, thinking that it was for my own good.

Dexter nodded obediently. But I couldn’t be sure if he would continue to listen to after this.

I spent a peaceful night at the base with Dexter. Carol ca back with hostages early the next morning.

She was rather capable as she had managed to catch both Violette and Sarah. She got even more smug and ca flaunting in my face.

"What makes you so full of yourself, Sophia? Didn’t you think that Geno Society would take advantage of bringing my n away and co attacking? Where are they now that I’m back?" Carol looked at mockingly.

I sighed in a resigned manner.

It was good now that she was back with her n. I had no reason to argue with her.

However, Carol insisted on provoking . ’Aren’t you going to visit your bestie, Violette? Say, do you think Sarah would reveal the mastermind’s identity if I were to kill Violette in front of her?"

I frowned and glared warily at Carol. My hands went to grab at her neck. ’Don’t you dare touch her!"

Behind her, Carol’s n anxiously moved to stop .

"Don’t move." She frowned, knowing that I dared not kill her. She stared at and waited for to release her.

My fingers were trembling as I slowly loosened my grip. "Violette has nothing to do with this. Don’t touch her."

"Try pleading with for it," Carol said, laughing maniacally.

"Sophia!" Violette’s cries reverberated in the empty hallway.

I strode over hastily but was blocked by Carol’s n.

"Move!" I tried to fight them off, but there were too many of them.

"Are you that afraid? I can’t believe you’re actually starting to feel sothing." Carol was looking at as if she were observing an experintal subject. ’Hah. It seems like the experints your parents left behind are taking effect."

Before I completely regained all my mories, each of the death gas set up by Carol had a little twist designed to stimulate . They were ant to awaken my senses and gradually stir my emotions.

All those were experintal data preserved by my parents in order to let live like an ordinary person. Carol included these twists in her experints just because she thought they were fun.

I glared angrily at her. She truly was a demon-a born scoundrel.

She had no ounce of sympathy as she killed and manipulated others in the palm of her hand. Everyone was like re ants to her as she looked down at them condescendingly.

"Sarah has been hiding for so long. Now that she’s finally in my hands, I’m curious to find out if she would speak up if I were to gradually tornt her daughter before her eyes," Carol said in a crazed manner. She started to head toward the room where Sarah and Violette were being held.

I knew she was fully capable of doing it.

"Don’t touch Violette, Carol!" I yelled, losing control of my emotions. But I knew that she was trying to provoke .

Carol walked in as the iron gate swung open.

I was pinned in place by her n. ’Violette!"

Violette’s eyes were red from crying as she looked at . ’Help , Sophia!"

I took a deep breath and shook my head at her. "Don’t be afraid!’

Compared to Violette, Sarah seed much more composed. After all, she was also a lunatic.

"You’re awfully calm, Sarah." Carol looked at her with a smile before sitting down in front of her.

"Humans are emotional creatures, and emotions are their biggest weakness. What about you, Sarah? Do you feel anything for your biological daughter?" she asked.
