In my past life, he was the one who stepped in to prevent my body from being lost to the flames. He went the extra mile to confirm my DNA, and somehow, he managed to perform a miracle and save Scar Man Daniel.

Unknowingly, he had preserved every shred of evidence of my existence after death. Even though he didn't do these things for me, I still felt a deep sense of gratitude towards him.

As I hurried back to the school gates, I saw him leaning casually against his car, cigarette in hand.

Tall and strikingly handsome, he embodied every girl's dream of the quintessential elite lawyer.

In stark contrast to Max's unattainable aura, Claude seemed more down-to-earth, more akin to the everyday joys and sorrows visible to the common folk rather than Max's almost divine stature.

"I've actually been tied up with school stuff these past few days. Claudy, couldn't you have found a better time to give Kate and me some space? You showing up now just to check if I'm at school seems a bit much, don't you think? I haven't been out causing trouble," I protested, making no move to get into the car.
