No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 225

Ian's face darkened with each line of the report. It was clear that this wasn't a simple case of a switched identity. It reeked of premeditated murder.

The culprits must have been plotting May's car accident with the intention of killing two birds with one stone. Then, they brazenly delivered Heidi to the Campbell family as May's daughter.

No one probably expected Clara to survive against all odds. Someone had abandoned her, and then Victoria had found her.

With this in mind, Ian immediately commanded, "Find Victoria. She might know something about what really happened back then." Even the slightest clue could be pivotal to cracking the case.

Dawson nodded in agreement. "I'm on it," he said, ready to take action.

"Has the perpetrator confessed?" Ian inquired further.

"He has. Turns out he's a die-hard fan of that celebrity. They have a fan club, and someone was stoking the fire. Clara's address was even shared, making it look like just a fan causing trouble."

Ian's gaze darkened. "Check every single fan. There's more to this. His intention was to destroy Clara's birthmark, which means someone knew about her identity before we did."

Meanwhile, Clara took a break at noon to create a new account and joined the fan group of the big star. They were all discussing her recent attack. These people were like lunatics, oblivious to the fact that their actions were illegal. They were even plotting how to rescue the assailant.

But then Clara noticed something - the profile picture of the most vocal fan seemed eerily familiar. Upon closer inspection, it was a man's hand with long, distinct fingers. When she zoomed in, she saw a faint bite mark at the base of his thumb. She knew that mark all too well. It was her bite mark. She had bitten into Ian's hand when she couldn't bear the pain of his treatment. Her bite mark was distinctive, with two pronounced canines. She couldn't possibly be mistaken.
