Back at the hotel. Dylan entered his suite, but Clara was nowhere to be found. Instead, she left a lonely note on the table. Dylan picked it up to read the content.
"I was drugged last night. I didn't intentionally barge into your room. Please forgive me from the depth of your heart for taking advantage of you, and please don't look for me because you will never find me."
Dylan's lips curved up slightly, he clenched the paper in his hand and threw it on the floor. He glanced at the red stain on the bed and his smile grew even more. It was clear that the young lady was a virgin. He walked out of the hotel room and out of the building. All the bodyguards bowed when they saw him. Jones quickly opened the car door for Dylan to enter. He got in the passenger seat and closed the door behind him. The driver ignited the car immediately and drove away.
"I want to know everything about that lady and bring her to me." Dylan suddenly said. Breaking the silence, his voice was cold with no expression on his face.
"Huh?" Jones asked with confusion written on his face. His mind suddenly went to the young lady he saw in his boss's bed earlier. "Okay sir, but I don't even know her name, can you tell me her name?" Jones asked carefully. He was trying his best not to anger the devil king.
"I don't care if you know her name or not, I give you twenty minutes to get every detail about her, your time starts now. " Dylan said coldly. He rested his head on the back seat and closed his eyes. Enjoying the silence in the car.
Jones dared not to complain and could only whine to himself. He knows he must find out everything about that lady before they arrive at the company.

"Her name is Clara Elvis. She's the hidden daughter of the Elvis family. She's also engaged to the deputy mayor's son, Henry Wilson. I guess her father doesn't treat her well because she has different part-time jobs, she recently graduated from Oxford University and is currently unemployed... " Jones continued to rant on till the car stopped in front of G&K Empire.
" Interesting, " Dylan said and got out of the car. He took a step forward but stopped abruptly. He shot Jones a cold look and the latter gulped down his saliva nervously. "Bring her to me now," Dylan said coldly before entering the company.

"You are not a good father. To begin with, let's go with the saying, like father like daughter, you cheated on my mom with your mistress and brought your illegitimate daughter home right just after mom passed, let's just say I followed your footsteps, isn't that just great. "Clara said with a sly smile dancing on her lips "You never cared for me, not even once and hid me from the world, you left me out there working day and night. Yes, the almighty Mayor is my father, but I get to fund my education myself. Well, I'm happy you kept me from the world though, because Clara is ashamed to be called your daughter. "
Mr Elvis was furious and raised his hand to slap Clara.
" Don't you dare? Have you not done enough already, not anymore. How stupid of me to have thought you would care after all these years, Lily is the apple of your eyes, you don't care if I live or die, eat or starve, if I'm happy or sad, there is no one to cater for me even when I'm sick, " Clara roared angrily, her chest heaved up and down. She fought back the tears that were brimming down her eyes, she didn't want to cry in front of these heartless people.
Everyone opened their mouths wide agape, they couldn't believe their eyes, the obedient and naive Clara they all knew was gone, but now, a feisty woman returned.
Lily tried to act like the little flower she had always been in front of Mr Elvis. "Sister, don't talk to father like that, he was worried about you. That's what got him angry."
Clara shot Lily a cold look and sneered " Did you just call me sister, don't you dare. I can't have a shameless sister like you. I am the only child of my mother, so I don't have a sister. You are just like your mother, husband snatcher, and home wrecker, your existence itself is a problem. Do you think I don't know what you did to me last night? " Clara asked. Her body shook with anger.
Lily and Henry widened their eyes in shock.
Clara smiled when she saw their shocked expressions. " You think I won't find out about your affair with Henry? It would have been better if you hadn't drugged me last night, and unfortunately for you, I never fell for your trap and, by the way, I managed to get out before your goons arrived."
Lily panicked slightly and looked at Mr Elvis. She saw the shocked look on his face and quickly denied Clara's accusation. She's always a gentle and harmless girl in front of her father. She can't just let this useless girl ruin everything.
"No sister, why would I drug you? I love you so much and everyone is aware of that, and you said I and Henry are dating. Although I like Henry, I would never cheat on you with him. Why are you lying against me? I did nothing wrong to you," Lily said, tears welled up her eyes and streamed down her cheeks freely.
Mr Elvis quickly walked to his daughter's side and hugged her. "Sorry princess, don't mind your sister," Mr Elvis said, his voice full of love and compassion. Mr Elvis shot Clara a cold glare. " Apologize to your sister this instant, " he roared.
Clara watched the scene and sneered. A bitter smile formed around her lips. Her heart hurt seeing how her father was treating Lily well while treating her with only a cold shoulder. She can't believe Mr Elvis is her father. Her hatred grows even more.
