Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 363

"Make it look like a suicide," the boss had ordered.

"Such a waste to just off her like that. You mean to frame it as if she's taken her own life out of guilt? Wouldn't running away in fear work just as well?" James smirked.

"What do you mean by that?"

"We could still turn a pretty penny."

I strained to open my eyes, but I knew better than to make a move just yet.

This James... he was part of the human trafficking ring.

No wonder they were all considered suspects in the serial killings, not a single one spared.

"Fanny's gone, and now we can't directly connect with our contacts on the other side. Any money we make, we have to split with them. Damn bad luck."

"The serial killer's dead, what's there to fear?" James was convinced that Dorian, now dead, was the culprit.

Fanny, the first woman killed from the orphanage. She was the so-called 'big sister' of the place.

"You really think the mastermind behind the serial killings is dead?" James's accomplice chuckled. "Why do I feel like everyone on the killer's list ends up dead?"

Maybe it was a joke, but James, being on that list, was clearly unnerved. "Cut the crap. It's been ages, and no one else has died. Clearly, Dorian was the killer, and he's dead."

James had grown bold since Dorian's demise, dropping all pretenses.

"Seriously selling her off? What if the boss asks..."

"Just say we dealt with her, made her disappear as ordered." James spoke indifferently, stepping closer to me.
