"Chloe!"

"Chloe! Where are you?"

Pax felt a wave of panic wash over him. He had combed through every nook and cranny of the room. But there was no sign of Chloe. The fear in Pax's heart grew with each passing second. Chloe hadn't gone out; he was sure of it. Just three minutes ago, she had been right there. How could she have just vanished into thin air?

His mind kept replaying Connor's words, and for some reason, doubt began to creep in. After confirming Chloe wasn't in the room, Pax bolted out to find Connor. But Connor wasn't in his room either.

At that moment, Connor stood on a rooftop, gazing into the distance. He glanced at his watch, feeling an immense weight in his chest. Had Teddy not received his email? He had asked Teddy to head back to Riverbrook to pick up Marian. Marian was their only ticket out of this mess. If Teddy flew the plane directly here, knowing Claire's temperament, she'd likely have it shot down. Only if Marian was on board would Claire hesitate. But according to the time, Teddy should have arrived by now. Connor stared at the distant sea, black as ink and seemingly hiding countless sins and dangers.

"My foolish little brother, what are you waiting for?" Claire's voice came from behind him. Connor wasn't surprised. He turned around calmly and said, "I'm glad you finally decided to see me."

Claire smiled and took a few steps forward, holding a velvet box. "You gave me this, how could I not come?" She opened the box to reveal a human tooth. It was Barrett's. Chloe had originally knocked out one of Barrett's molars.
