A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 380

The group quickly offered suggestions.

"Well, let us help you search for them."

"Do you have any leads?"

"Now that our show is so popular, you could post a message looking for your real parents."

"I found them," Demi said with a faint smile.

Instantly, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief. But Ana and Daniel were both visibly tense.

The next moment, Demi's smile shifted into something more mocking. Her voice turned cold. "I wish I hadn't found them."

Everyone fell silent.

Several people asked at the same time. "Why, though?"

Ana was considering whether or not to rush over and cover Demi's mouth.

"Could the Pitt couple be Demi's real parents?"

"Honestly, I've compared Demi's and the Pitt family's appearances, and there are some striking similarities."

"But didn't Demi deny it? And didn't the Pitt family delete their Twitter post?"

"What if the Pitt family hurt Demi, and now she refuses to acknowledge them?"

"I don't know, but we'll find out the truth someday."

"Didn't you all notice how nervous Ana looked? There's definitely a story behind this."

"This is another story, and I'll tell you another time," Demi said with a smile.

Ana finally slightly relaxed when she heard this.

"So, what happened next? How did you leave your adoptive parents? Do you still keep in touch with them?" Vivian asked, eager for more details.

"When I was about nine, I accidentally overheard my adoptive parents talking about selling me to a mentally disabled man to be his child bride." Demi's gaze darkened, and her voice became cold.

"What?"

"Those monsters!"

"Every time I slept, I did the same thing. Until one day, I met a wolf..."

The group's expressions instantly grew tense.

Although they already knew Demi was safe, they still felt nervous.

"It felt like it had all been a dream. But the place where the wolf had slept still had clear marks. That was when I realized that humans can be scarier than wolves. Sometimes, wolves are even kinder than people."

The group finally understood.

"Demi's story really makes you think. Sometimes, people really are scarier than wolves. Let's continue the game," Daniel suddenly said.

He thought about clapping but felt it might not be appropriate. His hands hovered awkwardly in the air for a moment before he let them fall back down.

Everyone fell silent. They exchanged odd looks, unsure of how to react.
