Chapter 3

That completely broke me.

Who in this world could accept pouring their heart and soul into someone, only to have all of it betrayed?

My blood began to boil.

By chance, I ran into one of the elders from our family. He looked at the two people in the distance, standing far too close and radiating an intimate atmosphere, then sighed.

【Claire, stop asking your sister to look after your white tiger whenever you go down the mountain to take a job. It’s obvious that the white tiger likes your sister more now. You need to think carefully!】

The elder had practically shouted at me to wake up and pay attention.

I froze. When had I ever asked my sister to take care of the white tiger?

【I never asked Emily to look after him. Where did you get that idea, Elder?】

The elder was clearly stunned as well. 【Claire, every time you go down the mountain to take a job, your sister comes to see the white tiger. She always says you asked her to take care of him!】

I was consumed by rage.

Every time I returned from the mountain covered in wounds, she had been using my name as an excuse to seduce my spirit beast!

【Doesn’t she already have a spirit fox? Why does she have to steal my white tiger?】

The elder stared at me blankly. 【You didn’t know? That spirit fox disappeared after staying with her for half a year.】

When had that happened?

Why had I never heard about it?

That was when I finally understood.

All these years, I had risked my life to find precious spiritual pills for the white tiger, thinking that given enough time, I could eventually move his heart.

I never imagined that his heart already belonged to my sweet sister—and that my sweet sister felt the same way.

I had truly been an unbelievable fool. My spirit beast and my sister had deceived me for years, and I had remained completely unaware.

But they had gone too far.

So I began looking for Emily’s mistakes every day and causing trouble for her whenever I could.

I hated her, and I hated the white tiger.

I hated her for stealing him from me, and I hated him for not loving me while still taking everything I did for him as if he were entitled to it.

Nothing in this world came that cheaply.

I began targeting Emily.

But my actions clearly enraged the white tiger.

He actually allied himself with the demon clan and secretly opened the barrier protecting the entire Bennett family.

When the demons launched their full-scale attack, he abandoned me and rushed toward Emily instead.

When I was seriously injured, he gave the last life-saving pill he had to Emily, who had only suffered a minor scratch.

This time, I wanted to see how long it would take him to transform without all the precious pills I had desperately obtained for him.

Without me, the villain who had supposedly torn the lovers apart, how long would it take for the two of them to live happily ever after?
