At a crossroads, Clara suddenly unbuckled her seatbelt.”Simon! What’s wrong with you? You’ve been distracted all day!”
The man behind the wheel tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
The Clara in his memory was always a gentle omega, her speech soft and sweet, but now she seemed different.
He turned his head, meeting her eyes.
“Clara?” Simon was a little taken aback.
Clara immediately realized her lapse, hastily adjusting her expression.
“Sorry, I was scared just now, and my emotions are a bit unstable.”
She lowered her head, her long eyelashes casting shadows under her eyes.”Don’t take it to heart.”
Simon stared at her lowered profile, feeling suddenly unfamiliar.
But the unread messages from the investigator pulled his attention back. He restarted the car.”I’m sorry, I’ll take you home to rest first.”
Clara’s knuckles were white as she clutched her skirt.
Only when the car stopped at the Davis family villa did she manage a weak smile.”I’ll go upstairs first, drive safely.”
The moment she closed the car door, her smile vanished, replaced by an absence of warmth in her eyes.
Her wolf screamed, “FUCK THAT BITCH! Even with Emily missing, she’s still not at ease!”
Pushing open the door, the atmosphere in the living room was tense.
Her adoptive parents sat on the sofa, crumpled papers on the coffee table-Emily’s Declaration of Disownment.
Mrs. Davis looked up, her eyes red.”Clara, your sister has gone missing.
We can’t reach her by phone, and we can’t find her…”
“It’s been several days.”
Clara’s heart skipped a beat. She dug her nails into her palm to suppress the upturn of her lips.
She rushed over and grabbed Mrs. Davis’s hand.”How could this happen? Did she
Her voice held the right amount of panic.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis shook their heads, their eyes filled with helplessness.
After all, if Simon couldn’t find her, what chance did the Davises have?
Back in her room, Clara locked the door and immediately called Simon.
get into trouble?”
The phone was answered on the first ring. Her voice trembled.”Simon, I heard my sister is missing. What should we do? I’m so scared. Did you mention the bonding severance and upset her, so she ran away in anger?”
“Don’t panic.
Simon’s voice crackled with static; there seemed to be the sound of an engine in the background. “I’m investigating. Stay home.”
“But I can’t sleep…”
Clara bit her lip, the corners of her eyes red in the mirror, but she couldn’t hide the excitement in her eyes.
“Should I go help you? I know a lot of people, maybe I can ask about my sister…”
“No.”
Simon’s tone turned cold.”Take care of Uncle and Aunt.”
The dial tone after he hung up left Clara’s hand holding the phone suspended in mid-air.
“I want Emily gone, I hope she never comes back.
Only then will Simon and the Davis family be firmly under my control!” Clara’s wolf’s voice was sharp and frenzied, her lips twisting into a exaggerated smile.

The anxious voices of her adoptive parents came from downstairs. Clara pretended to be worried and went downstairs, asking, “Is there still no news of my sister?”
