Chapter 73 Scared Silly
:
She looked like a zombie about to go berserk and start biting people.
Clara’s eyes were wide open, the whites streaked with crawling red veins.

She kept pushing forward with both hands, shaking her head in panic. “It was my mother! It was my mother who said it! You kept going against her, so she wanted to teach you a lesson!
“You bonded with the tharok shifter, and he’s the strongest male in the tribe. In the future, with you around, no one would listen to her anymore. That’s the only reason I did it!
“Take it up with my mother instead!”
As Annelise listened, she felt incredibly pleased inside.
So this was what it felt like to slap someone in the face with the truth.
She got to have fun and stir trouble at the same time.
Unbeknownst to Clara, Evan and Adrian had gathered plenty of people as they surrounded the house, all of them hearing what she had confessed.
Annelise still didn’t stop there. She felt that playing a zombie was genuinely satisfying, especially when she could enjoy Clara’s terrified expression up
close.
“Argh… I’m going to bite you to death…”
Annelise made different zombie faces, twisting her body into all kinds of distorted
poses.
Even Adrian, standing nearby, was so frightened that he stumbled backward and bumped into
Evan.
“Seriously, Evan. Why isn’t she stopping? Is there really something wrong with her? And where did she learn all this? I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve been to so many tribes, and this is the first time I’ve ever met a female like our matriarch.”
Evan shoved Adrian away, signaling him not to lean on him. “Stop badmouthing our matriarch. Otherwise, she’ll stop treating you.” He pointed toward Adrian’s lower waist, and the latter immediately shut his mouth.
But he only stayed quiet for a moment before whispering again, “Come to think of it, it’d be better to have male cubs with the matriarch.

“If it were a female cub and she turned out like our matriarch, pulling stunts like this every now and then, I’d probably pee myself in fright-even as her father.”
As he said that, he wrinkled his nose. “It does smell like urine in here, though.”
Evan was fed up with how noisy he was. He pointed toward Annelise’s direction and said, “Clara’s so frightened that she peed herself.”
Following that, Evan walked over and wrapped an arm around Annelise. “Everyone’s been watching for a while, Ms. Crawford. You’re not wearing much, so be sure not to catch a cold.”
Only then did Annelise rein in her acting and chuckled.
Then, she snapped her fingers seriously. “The chief holds great power and is supposed to lead the entire tribe. Why go out of your way to deal with someone like me?”
Still in shock, Clara’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.
Only then did she realize that Annelise was speaking in complete, coherent sentences.
“You’re not a juuki?”
Evan, who’d been carrying a beast-hide cloak the entire time, draped it over Annelise and wiped away the vein-like markings on her face.
Only then did Annelise raise her hand and give Clara the middle finger.
“I crushed some dyeable branches and painted my face. It looks good, don’t you think? Was it scary enough to make your little heart stop beating?”
Around them, the tribe members who had been drawn over began pointing at Clara,
They wondered why Clara had stooped so low. Some even said they were disappointed in the chief.
Holly, Elder Clariona, and Snowball were all in the crowd.
At once, Holly rubbed her temples. She muttered, “I knew it. Annelise is not someone to be trifled with now. Clara, you’re such an idiot!”
Elder Clariona shook her head slightly. Meanwhile, Snowball stood in the crowd and spoke in a voice that was neither loud nor soft.
“If the chief let her own daughter do something like this, then was the previous sacrifice also driven by personal motives-using the tribe’s rules to secretly take revenge on its members?

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t anyone who voiced even the slightest opposition to the chief end up getting hurt?”
Elder Clariona quickly grabbed Snowball’s arm.
“Cadogo, don’t say things like that.”
Snowball turned back and smiled at Elder Clariona innocently.
“I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t think a careless comment would cause such big trouble. I’ll be more careful in the future.”
Seeing that her son was still young and simple-minded, she only sighed and patted his shoulder.
“It’s not your fault.”
In truth, Snowball had said all of that on purpose. He wanted everyone to hear, making them doubt the chief even more.
Even though Annelise didn’t want to drag him into this, he had to help her.
Before long, the chief arrived with her group of mates. Among them was also Clara’s father.
Along the way, they’d been informed of what happened.
The chief’s expression was icy cold.
When Clara saw the chief, she almost crawled over, dropping to her knees at her mother’s feet.
“I didn’t mean it, Mother. It was Annelise, that b*stard! She pretended to be a juuki just to scare me. I was terribly frightened and started spewing nonsense!”
The chief shook her off, forcing Clara to let go.
This tribe already had far fewer females than males, with females held above males.
If not for the fact that the chief only had this one daughter, she would have abandoned Clara long ago.
Clara hurriedly went to tug at her father’s clothes instead. “Father, I didn’t do it on purpose…” Annelise shrugged and casually dug at her ear.
She cut off Clara’s crying and said, “I don’t care whether you did it on purpose or not. Out of
