Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Henry, I’m Caleb’s guardian, not you! You don’t get to call the shots for me!” I stood firmly in front of Colin, my gaze wary as I faced down the bodyguards.

“Who do you think you are, talking to Mr. Henry like that? The Langley family is his to command now,” someone from within the house spoke up, backing Henry.

After all, Caleb had cut off their allowances, which had sparked fury among the Langleys.

Colin’s eyes were sharp, glancing at the speaker as if looking at a dead man.

“If you want to see bloodshed in broad daylight, just you try me.” My stance was resolute as I shielded Colin, showing no sign of stepping aside.

Henry clearly couldn’t care less about my life; he was here today to provoke Colin, to test if the man really had lost his mind.

They were sizing each other up.

And me, I was just an obstacle Henry needed to remove to get a clear read on Colin.

But Henry had surely done his homework on Foebe Larson, the Larson family’s daughter who had just cut ties with Anthony. No doubt Anthony had already cozied up to Henry, so he was confident I couldn’t stir up any trouble. –

Truth be told, I am pretty powerless right now.

All my hopes were pinned on Eric, praying he still had some fight in him.

But Eric, this time, just stood by calmly, showing no intention of intervening.

Didn’t the Langley family have their own muscle? At the very least, I couldn’t let them take Colin away.

“Mr. Henry, the folks from the mental institution are here,” a bodyguard announced from the doorway.

Eric cast a meaningful glance at Colin, but he remained silent, not moving an inch.

“Henry, I won’t let you take him,” I said, my hands clenched tightly, unsure how to help

Colin.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go with them,” Colin whispered from behind me.

I was taken aback, turning,to face him. “No, you can’t!”

I didn’t want him… to go back to that place.

“I’ll be fine,” Colin assured, aware that Henry was testing him.

“You can’t go there…” My voice trembled slightly, unsure why… I was so afraid of him

I reached out and grabbed his wrist

In a hushed tone, Colin said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon”

Without wailing for those men to grab him, Colin walked out on his own. I held onto his hand tightly, not wanting to let him go to the mental institution.

“Ma’am, you mustn’t get agitated, especially in your condition,” Eric intervened, shaking his head at me.

I wasn’t sure if they had a plan in mind.

“Speed it up, destroy the Langley Group” Colin whispered to Eric just before getting into. the car

I thought I had misheard, but I had caught a whisper of him saying he wanted to bring down the Langley Group,

Was it a case of if I can’t have it, no one can? Destroy it so it’s out of everyone’s reach?

“Ma’am, you must be exhausted, Come, let’s go back,” Eric said.

I watched helplessly as Colin was taken away by the mental institution’s vehicle, feeling utterly powerless,

“Eric, is Colin really mad?” I asked quietly,

“When someone wants you to be mad, and you can’t fight back, you have no choice but to play the part,” Eric said, watching the departing car. “But like a butterfly, there comes a time to break free from the cocoon, wouldn’t you agree?”

I took a deep breath and clenched my fists.

“The shares are still in the Brendan’s grip. When he passes, they’ll go to the young master Caleb, but with Caleb in the mental institution, Mr. Henry, you might just have your

chance…”

“Right, Mr. Henry, you’re the patriarch of the Langley family now. It’s up to you to lead.”

Inside the house, that group of vultures was still eagerly discussing the Langley family fortune, plotting over the patriarch’s will.
