"Claudia only said those things out of anger. Don't take it to heart. I'll talk to her
again after she has calmed down. Just as you said, she's also dealing with her own pressure. From now on, it's better not to go to school with her on weekends."
Henry sighed. He did not see Thalia smiling sinisterly in his arms.
Naturally, she had no appetite for dinner. "Dad, you go ahead with dinner. I've lost my appetite, so I'll go back to my room now."
Henry waved his hand and sat down alone at the dining table somewhat wearily. It was indeed hard for him to raise two daughters single-handedly.
Back in her room, Thalia jumped onto her bed happily. She could not stop smiling. "Ah, nothing beats the comfort of my own bed."
Of course, she had no intention of eating dinner; she had already eaten her fill before returning home. Everything had gone according to her plan.
'Oh, Claudia, Claudia, how does it feel to be ignored by Dad? How does it feel to be wrongly accused? Finally, you get to taste the suffering I've endured all this time.'
She felt a rush of adrenaline when she saw Henry slap Claudia. The pent-up frustration from all those years seemed to dissipate in an instant. 'Claudia deserved that!'
Meanwhile, Claudia was trying to figure out where everything went wrong. She had been at her school for over two years, and she knew the place better than Thalia. Thus, how could it be possible that she failed to find her? Moreover, Thalia returned only after she did.
Claudia even began to doubt her own memory. Did she really search every corner of the library that afternoon? With these thoughts in mind, she texted the classmate who had accompanied her in the search.
[I found my sister. She came back by herself. She said she was in the library all along, and that I left her behind. Maybe we didn't search carefully enough back then.]
The other person sent a disbelieving
emoji. [How is that possible? We searched every corner of the library multiple times. You were so frantic
back then that you wanted to fli
the entire library upside down. There's no way she was there. Unless she wasn't in the library at all
Claudia instinctively wanted to refute that, but she could not make sense of it either.

[Don't overthink it. Maybe your sister just hid somewhere. You know how mischievous kids can get. She might have been attracted by something and gone to an Internet cafe without akhowing. Maybe she was afraid of getting scolded by your dad, so she said she was waiting for you in the library the whole time.] Visit

Claudia still could not shake off her
