My lips twitched involuntarily. So, they just see Foebe as a baby-making machine. But as long
as it’s a girl, Colin still has svalue to the Langley family.
I do hope it’s a girl in my belly.
“Why did Colin go mad?” | asked softly.
“Colin?” Brendan glanced at me.
| paused, confused.
Isn't he called Colin in the Langley family?
“Caleb...” It hitsuddenly: in the Langley family. Colin is known as Caleb Langley.
“Originally, the boy was smart, a real genius.” Brendan said coldly. “But alas, he suffered a
trauma.”
After a moment of silence, he gavea guarded look, obviously not willing to air all the family’s dirty laundry.
“You needn't worry yourself. Just focus on bringing the child into the world safely; that’s all that matters.”
| nodded obediently. “Yes, sir.”

Even though Brendan didn’t reveal much, | had a hunch that Colin's current state was definitely tied to the
Langley family.
“Grandpa, I'm a bit scared. The servants and even the whispers outside say that Colin is a murderer and that he
targets women. Is that true? The doctor suggested | should spend more twith the father of the child, but I'm
afraid of him...”
| watched Brendan cautiously, trying to gauge his reaction.
“The boy may be a bit touched in the head, but he’s no murderer, of that I'm certain,” he assuredwith
conviction. “Those rumors are baseless. Nonetheless, for your and the baby’s safety, it's best to keep your
distance from him.
If Colin isn’t the killer, why was he at the crscene? What was he doing there? What's his connection to the
actual murderer?
The Langley family dinner.
The invitation was from the patriarch himself, and the guest list was a who's who of the business world.
The Fitzgerald family, ranking just below the Langleys, was, of course, in attendance.
Dexter was tall and striking, and he arrived with Melody, quickly becoming the center of attention.
“Mr. Fitzgerald's fiancée is absolutely stunning,” someone brown-nosed.
“Yes, Melody is the belle of Sea City University.”
“Wasn't Phoebe the belle of Sea City University?” | walked up alongside the patriarch, deliberately shaking hands
with Dexter right in front of Melody. “Mr. Fitzgerald, good to see
you again.”
Dexter looked surprised at first, then composed himself.
Melody’s face turned sour, watchingwarily.
“Is this the Langley family’s eldest grandson’s wife? She must not know in our circles, nobody dares mention
Phoebe in front of Dexter...” someone murmured behind me.
“Dexter lost it a while back. Mentioning Phoebe to him is like signing your own death warrant.”
“President Langley, this must be your granddaughter-in-law?” Melody asked, attempting to conceal her
annoyance, then reached out for a handshake.
“Mr. Fitzgerald, wasn't your fiancée named Phoebe? Who might this be, a mistress?” | taunted Melody, ignoring
her extended hand.
The onlookers began to murmur; the Langley family’s eldest grandson's wife was openly snubbing Dexter's
fiancée, which was akin to snubbing Dexter himself.
But Dexter seemed unfazed, his gaze oncomplex.
Melody grew even more anxious, fearing the resemblance | bore to Phoebe.
“This is my granddaughter-in-law, the heiress of the Larson family, Foebe Larson,” the patriarch announced with

“Mr. Fitzgerald, won't you introduce us to the lady beside you? Which family’s daughter is she?” | cocked my
head, pushing Dexter into an awkward spot. Status was everything in their circle, and Dexter had once seemed
indifferent to Melody’s adopted status, all in the nof love.
Dexter glanced at Melody.
Melody, tense, awaited Dexter's introduction, hoping for a title under the eyes of many.
“She’s my secretary.” Dexter stated flatly, reducing Melody to his secretary.
Melody’s face went pale, and she lowered her gaze, her eyes reddening. “I feel a bit unwell. I'll go sit over
there.”
| watched Melody with a hint of irony. So, she had her day, too?
But then again Dexter really was the pinnacle of scum. He had once claimed to love Melody so fiercely he
wanteddead for her, and now he wouldn't even acknowledge her?
Disgusting!
moved off to greet other quests, and Dexter approached me, his voice low. “Are you

satisfied with that explanation?”
| frowned. “I'm sorry, Mr. Fitzgerald, but | don’t follow.”
“Your nis Foebe?” He seemed very intrigued by me.
