Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 669

Something wasn't right. The oldest and the second-heck, even the two brothers

-were never affectionate, not even with each other. Aside from Charles, they

never cozied up to anyone. Even the housekeepers who'd fed them for years

never got so much as a head bump.

But Clara? She hadn't done a thing. So why were the dogs drawn to her?

Charles shot a questioning look at the doctor beside him.

The doctor thought for a second. "Maybe it's the medication."

That was probably it. Those two dogs grew up in the research facility-their sense

of smell was almost supernatural, sometimes even beyond what science could

explain.

Charles breathed out in relief. If Clara could get along with the two dogs, that was

the best possible outcome.

He was still lost in thought when Clara suddenly piped up, "Hey, big brother, can I

give my doll to the dogs? I want to put it by their bed."

The doll was just a cheap prize she'd won at the arcade the kind that probably

cost less than ten bucks. Meanwhile, the blanket the dogs slept on was worth

thousands. Charles never skimped on them, and besides, these dogs were fierce

and intimidating. That soft, pastel pink doll just didn't fit with their vibe.

People had tried to win him over before by giving gifts to the dogs, hoping to get

in good with the Chester brothers. But every single gift got shredded to pieces.

Charles was about to come up with an excuse to stop Clara-if the dogs tore up
