Chapter 137

Claire looked at him, her eyes devoid of emotion, like a still pond.

After a moment, she slowly lowered her legs, turned to face the man, and spoke in a voice as raspy as sandpaper, "If you don't want to interfere with my fate, then why do you care?"

Sean took a drag from his cigarette, exhaling a smoke ring that drifted lazily in the air before dissipating. His gaze settled on Claire through the haze.

"Life is like a play. Sometimes an extra spectator changes the entire plot. I just want to see how your story unfolds if you don't die today."

Claire was taken aback. The man in front of her remained impassive throughout, his demeanor cool to the point of indifference.

He seemed utterly unconcerned with the life or death of others.

If life's play could be performed brilliantly, who would want to ruin it?

Claire's eyes filled with a sense of desolation. "My play's already a disaster. There's nothing left to see."

Sean, however, was unfazed. "You never know. The best parts often come at the end."
