Only then did Iris feel relieved enough to accompany Emma back to the Barclay residence.
The Barclay family estate was completely different from the Crown Heights Estate where the Noir family lived.
Everything about it radiated an ancient, solemn grandeur.
The architecture carried a sense of history and authority that seemed to linger in every corner.
As soon as Julian parked the car, a servant hurried over and summoned Ares away.
Apparently, his older brother urgently needed to speak with him.
Left with no choice, he entrusted Emma with guiding Iris inside.
“Don’t worry, Sister Iris.”
Emma patted her hand comfortingly.
“The old residence is basically empty right now. Uncle went next door.”
Apparently worried that the somewhat intimidating estate might frighten Iris, she did her best to reassure her.
In reality, Iris found the architecture fascinating.
She had recently accepted a commission for a villa requiring a traditional aesthetic, and many details of the Barclay residence were already inspiring new ideas.
Holding Iris’s hand, Emma practically skipped all the way upstairs.
“Uncle doesn’t plan on having me live here forever.”

“So if you come visit me later, you won’t have to come all the way here every time!”
The Barclay family was enormous.
Not everyone liked Emma.
Ares wasn’t comfortable leaving her here alone permanently.
After instructing a servant to bring Iris some water, Emma told everyone not to come upstairs before pulling Iris toward her room on the second floor.
“My room is super pretty! Let me show you-”
She pushed open the door.
Then froze.
“…Ah!”
The moment she saw the room, her expression changed dramatically.
She whipped around and looked inside.
A scream escaped her lips.
The room was a disaster.
Half the curtains had been ripped down.
Decorations from the desk were scattered across the floor.
Every drawer had been pulled open.
Dresses from the wardrobe were piled messily on the bed.
Emma immediately looked toward the headboard.
The spot was empty.

Letting go of Iris’s hand, she rushed inside, climbed onto the bed, threw back the blanket, and frantically tossed clothing everywhere.
“Where’s Little Bear?!”
“Where’s my Little Bear?!”
Her voice grew increasingly panicked.
“Did a thief break in?”
Considering the Barclay family’s status, it was absurd to think a thief would specifically target a little girl’s room.
That left only one possibility.
“What are you making all that noise for?”
A scolding voice echoed from the hallway.
“You have no manners.”
Hearing Emma’s tearful shouting, someone had come to investigate.
A girl in a fashionable dress appeared at the doorway.
She was slightly older and taller than Emma, with curled hair and a smug expression.
Most importantly-
She was holding Little Bear.
Iris immediately recognized the dress she was wearing.
It belonged to Emma.

In fact, it was the dress Emma had worn the first time they went out together.
On this girl, however, it looked noticeably tight.
Emma turned around.
The instant she saw her beloved bear in the girl’s hands, she exploded.
“Sandy! Was this you?!”
“Why are you taking my things?!”
Sandy lazily yawned.
“I just got back from overseas and didn’t bring many clothes. So what if I borrowed
a couple? You’ve got an entire closet full of dresses. Are you really going to miss one or two?”
“You didn’t even ask me!” Emma’s face flushed red with anger. “I never said could borrow them! And you took the bear Sister Iris made for me!”
She was about to rush forward when Iris caught her arm.
“Your heart hasn’t fully recovered yet.”
“Don’t get worked up.”
Sandy snorted.
“Exactly. A sickly little thing should know her place.”
Splash!
you
Without warning, Iris dumped the entire glass of water she was holding directly onto Sandy’s face.
The carefully styled curls immediately collapsed.
Wet strands of hair stuck messily to her cheeks.

Sandy stood frozen.
Then she slowly looked up.
“You actually threw water on me? Do you even know who I am?”
She pointed at herself indignantly.
“My parents are Great-Grandfather’s favorites!”
“In the future, everything in the Barclay family will belong to us!”
“If you offend me, you’re offending Great-Grandfather!”

“If you don’t get on your knees and apologize right now, I’ll make sure you’re driven out of Capital!”
Iris simply responded with an indifferent:
“Really?”
At that moment, she couldn’t help thinking that although both girls belonged to the Barclay family, the difference between them was astonishing.
Emma wasn’t about to back down either.
“Even if this goes to Great-Grandfather, you’ll still be wrong!”
“That bear belongs to me!”
“Taking someone else’s things is stealing!”
Sandy grabbed one of the bear’s ears and swung it around mockingly.
“You say it’s yours, so it’s yours? Your name isn’t written on it. Why don’t you call it and see if it answers?”
She had disliked Emma for years.
