Chapter 826

Claire let out a hearty laugh, "I've just taken in a little dog. Poor thing broke its leg. It's heartbreaking, really-won't eat or drink a thing. Now it's down to just 70 pounds. I doubt it'll make it through the night." Suzanne knew exactly who Claire was talking about-Diana.

Hearing that Diana had starved herself down to just 70 pounds felt like a steamroller had flattened Suzanne's heart.

"Claire, please, spare her. Look at what Diana's wearing around her neck. Just take a look, and you'll see why she needs to live. I'm begging you."

"I'll get the dragon pendant back from Connor, but please, don't let Diana die. I promise I'll hand it over to you."

Claire hung up the phone.

She was already at The Garden when the manager walked in, looking worried.

"Ms. Claire, Diana... she's not doing well..."

Claire recalled Suzanne's words and stood up, "Let me see."

Claire headed to the room where Diana was kept.

Diana had been stuck in this dark, windowless room for days, not putting up any resistance.
