Chapter 773

The old man raised his hand, about to strike again, but Clara darted forward and blocked him.

No one knew how she slipped past the men in black holding her back.

She crouched in front of Dylan, her hand gently cupping his cheek, eyes full of worry. "Does it hurt?"

Blood still stained the corner of his lips, but he managed a small smile and shook his head.

A wild, furious energy burned inside Clara. She wanted to scream, to lash out. "Alright. If being the heir makes you this miserable, then don't do it."

She tried to pull Dylan away, but suddenly a dozen men in black drew their guns, pointing them straight at her and Dylan.

Clara wanted to curse him-how could he be so utterly heartless?
