Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 100

‘Nice one. I'm fine now.’ I cursed in my heart.

"Claude, you jerk."

I thought he wasn't expecting me to snap at him, so Claude stared at me in disbelief, "Is this what you've learned after leaving home for a few days? I'm not just your brother. I'm also your guardian!" His face turned a shade of stormy gray, visibly angered.

But I couldn't care less. "Claude, do you have to wait until I'm dead because of her to believe me?"

As Claude and I were about to lose it in a hysterical argument, Kate stepped in, "Claude, let me talk to Claire, please. No more fighting. Don’t fight because of me."

I snorted, "Why would I talk to you, murderer?"

"Watch your mouth!" The more Claude defended Kate, the more rebellious I became.

But this time, I wouldn’t be as foolish as in my past life. I wouldn't leave without evidence.

Kate said, "Claude, go inside. I need to talk to Claire."

Once Claude was gone, Kate's demeanor changed entirely.

"Where's the bracelet?" she demanded, closing in on me.

I smirked. ‘So, the fox is showing its tail now?’

I questioned her, "You admit you sent someone to my apartment today for the bracelet?"

She didn't answer but pressed, "Give me the bracelet and disappear from Claude's life, and I might spare you."

I wasn’t scared. "And if I don't? I have proof that you hired someone to attack me. And don't forget about Daniel in the hospital. Once he wakes up, he can identify you."

Kate smiled evilly. "Hmph, he won't live through the day!"

Kate's words shocked me even more. She knew I was in danger but never warned me, enjoying watching me suffer.

"Kate, you're truly terrifying." I stood behind Claude, and if he hadn't held me back, I would have lunged at Kate.

"Claire, what are you but a burden? You've always used your parents' deaths to manipulate Claude. For years, every time he looks at you, he thinks of the death of your parents. Do you know how much pressure that puts on him? Every investment he wants to make gets hindered by the tragedy of your parents. You're the most terrifying one!" Kate screamed hysterically.

"That's enough. Go home." Claude didn't wish to make things too difficult for Kate.

Still not giving up hope, Kate eventually left with her lips quivered.

Once Kate was out the door, Claude turned to me, his hand outstretched. "Give me the recording."

I frowned, puzzled at how he knew I had recorded everything. Subconsciously, I took a step back.
