lan masked his concern and asked nonchalantly, "Have you talked about this with anyone else besides me?" Edwin shook his head. "No one. I didn't want to tip anyone off." "Good thinking. Keep all your emotions in check. Don't let on that anything's amiss. If your sister is still alive, the slightest slip-up could cost her life. You get that?" "I do. I just can't cto terms with the fact that the sister I adored for years is the product of my dad's affair with another woman. Maybe her mother is even the one who had a hand in my mom's death."

However, Chase's mischievous laughter stopped him. "Aren't you curious about Clara's recent streak of luck with men?" "What did you say?" lan's heart skipped at the mention of Clara.
Chase teased, "You got rid of Anders and opened a race club for Ryker, thinking you've chased away all the men around Clara. But guess what? There's a new guy, even more impressive than the other two. Seems like Clara's love life is blooming, huh?" After saying that, he sent lan a live video feed.
