Chapter 3

After dropping Alex off at the daycare, Clara hopped in a cab and headed straight to the Melendez skyscraper

After paying the taxi fare, she got out of the cab, looked up at the towering building and couldn’t help but feel a bit jittery-

“Mr. Melendez’s kid is missing? Got it, I’ll round up a search party right away!”

Hearing this, Clara raised an eyebrow, a strange pang in her heart.
