MAFIA'S ENTANGLED FATECLARA!!!

★ Clara pov

"I have mentioned this time and again—my mother's company has nothing to do with you!" I screamed at my stepmother.

"You'd better let go of the company. You're the illegitimate daughter of the Walter family, and your elder sister would handle it better," she shot back.

"My step elder sister, to be precise. If your daughter wants to show her talent, she should do it somewhere else."

"Clara, your father has already erased your name..."

"So what? You think he can erase or forge the signature of a dead person?" I blurted out, my chest heavy. My late mum isn't just a dead person.

Tears began to form in my eyes, but I couldn't show vulnerability in front of the two who had made my life miserable since my mother took her own life when I was eight.

"You... you have no regard anymore. You've begun to grow wings after just a few years."

"Few years? Fifteen years sounds like just a few in your head, right?"

"Clara, when did you return?" my father, John Walter, stepped in, just home from work.

"Dad!" My stepsister rushed to him, holding onto his arm affectionately.

"Dad, Clara doesn't want to give up the company for me!"
