"Did you really think that was the perfect lie? I've been told by more than one classmate that they've spotted you outside. They even sent me some photos. Would you like to take a look?"As soon as Claudia pulled out her phone, Thalia's expression soured momentarily. Then, she forced a bright smile the next second."What are you talking about? I spent my afternoon reading in the library. I even borrowed a collector's edition of Andersen's fairy tales that I missed out on buying for myself. See for yourself in the library." Thalia's calmness and composure were so convincing that Claudia would have believed every bit of it but for the evidence she had with her. Thalia's lies left Claudia feeling a little apprehensive."Do you think I'm as devious as you are? I'm telling you I have evidence because that's the truth, and I have a pretty good idea of why you'd want to go to school with me. It's because of Lucas, right? I didn't see what happened because I was rehearsing, but you made suc

"I wish you'd just disappear. Every day, I said to myself I never wanted to be your sister," Thalia stated. Her tone was icy, which made Claudia feel unsettled. Facing Thalia was almost the same as facing a cold-blooded animal.Thalia then continued, "You say you don't want me to meddle in your life, but deep down, you wish I was always there to support you, don't you? As long as I'm around, you can always play the role of the ice-cold diva. You must be very proud of that.""Haha, I take it that's your opinion of me, then. No wonder you hid and lied to Dad today. That was your revenge, right? I never expected my sister to look at me in this light. I've taken care of you for years and loved you with all my heart, but now you're turning against me. Bravo, Thalia, you're truly one of a kind. From now on, I won't entertain any of your requests for help."Claudia was about to turn and leave, but Thalia lunged at her and pushed her onto the bed. She attempted to retrieve the phone from Cl

The thought of that possibility left Henry feeling as if his heart had been stabbed. Claudia continued to cry in his arms in silence. Eventually, all he could do was pat her on the back and give her the chance to cry her heart out.He felt that he might have neglected her recently. She had good grades and never did anything to make him feel worried, which was why he inadvertently paid too much attention to his younger daughter, Thalia. In his eyes, Thalia was slightly inferior and needed more attention.He had never considered the possibility that Claudia might have been under a tremendous amount of pressure. Succeeding in a school filled with talented students was never going to be easy, yet Claudia had always managed to perform well.Claudia felt much better after crying in her father's arms. She came out of his embrace, wiped her tears, and forced a weak smile. "It's okay, Dad. I was just feeling a little down for a while. I'm much better now after crying. Everything will be bett

Lucas then left, leaving Claudia to stamp her feet in frustration. Lucas was just giving her a friendly reminder. His character had always been aloof. If she never took offense in the past, why would she suddenly take offense at this point? She might have just lost the last thread of friendship with him after what she said.She slapped her head fiercely and mumbled to herself, "Why did I have to say all that? He was just giving me a friendly reminder. And it's not like everything that happened earlier was his problem. It was all Thalia's. He's not wrong for rejecting someone he doesn't like."Claudia did not dwell on it for the rest of the rehearsal, and everything ended smoothly, much to her relief. As soon as it was over, she rushed up to Lucas and grabbed his arm before he could leave.Lucas glanced at her and raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you show your moral high ground earlier? Why are you following me?""I'm sorry," Claudia smiled awkwardly. "I'm here to apologize to you. Could

Henry glanced coldly at Thalia, sensing that something was amiss with her responses. However, he chose not to prolong the argument because arguing about it was not going to help them in any way. Their most important task was to ascertain their whereabouts.Nonetheless, Thalia's observation struck a chord with Henry. Instead of considering that mishaps might have happened, it was much better to assume that they simply went out on a date. Thankfully, the teachers had the phone numbers of many other students. Further questioning led them to the discovery that the relationship between the two were close but not yet close enough to the extent of having dates.However, that revelation deeply troubled the adults present. If dating was not the reason for their disappearance, then other more sinister possibilities could have happened.Thalia felt uneasy. She recognized the burgeoning growing bond between Claudia and Lucas, but all her efforts to snoop on Claudia's phone ended in naught. Not
