After eating her fill, Claudia followed Chef Romero around like a little shadow, praising him nonstop, “Sterling, you are awesome! I love it, love it, super love it!” Her nonstop praise made Sterling puff up with pride.

But when night came and he was about to enjoy the fruits of his hard work–almost reaching the climax–Claudia’s phone buzzed with a message full of emojis and a voice note asking for help. Ignoring Sterling’s frozen look, she dashed out of bed like a mischievous girl, quickly getting dressed.

Late that night at the police station, a grumpy Sterling arrived, dragging his wife along, arriving a bit late.

The moment they walked in, two surprised voices shouted at the same time.

“Claudia!”

“Claudia?”

Emma Romero’s eyes sparkled when she saw Claudia.

But then she noticed the tall, cold–looking man standing next to her and stepped back a little.

Oh no, even my third cousin showed up?

Today was really unlucky. She’d run into a lunatic and ended up at the police station.

Her parents had been extra strict recently. She was scared that if they found out, they’d take her allowance. So she didn’t dare say a word.

She tried calling friends for help, but one was passed out drunk at the bar and another was overseas. After thinking for a moment, she decided to call Claudia.

Since she had defended Sterling and Claudia during the Hailey incident, she had saved Claudia’s WhatsApp number.

Being talkative and loving pretty faces, she couldn’t ignore having such a gorgeous woman in her contacts. Claudia actually liked Emma–a lively, sharp–eyed, and funny cousin–in–law who always knew how to make people laugh. They would chat whenever they had time.

When Emma sent that message asking for help, she didn’t expect much. She figured, even if Claudia refused, it wouldn’t matter. She wasn’t shy about asking.

Emma was thrilled, but with Sterling standing there, radiating a scary vibe, staring at her, she didn’t dare get too excited.

Trying to play it cool, she edged closer to them with a little smug grin, the kind that said, Yeah, my family’s here now.

Meanwhile, Zane, who had been ignored, called out again, “Claudia.”

He was the one who got hurt, so why was she here helping the person who hit him?

Claudia finally looked at Zane, who looked like he’d been in a serious fight, and scoffed, “Just because we’re at the police station doesn’t mean we’re family, Mr. Zane. I’ve already said that I don’t have a brother.”

Her words hit him like a punch to the chest. His heart actually ached.

He stared at her with sad, pleading eyes and said, “But you’re my sister, my real sister. Claudia, can we stop fighting and make up?”

Claudia almost laughed. He hadn’t called her “sister” in years. What suddenly made him say it
