Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 305

“You’ve totally lost it!” Elio said with a look of disgust. If she hadn’t had something on him, he would’ve thought even looking at her was a waste of time.

How did he not notice how ambitious she was when they were in the family together?

If he had realized it then, he wouldn’t be in this mess now.

“Actually, I should thank you! You helped me find a man who’s worthy of me.” Leah brought it up on purpose.

Elio snorted. He wouldn’t dare accept this woman’s gratitude.

Leah asked, “Do you think if I tell Clara that you did it on purpose to drive a wedge between her and Emmett, she would still trust you?”

“What… What are you trying to do?”

“I’m not trying to do anything! I just want you to know how much you mean to Clara. She’s just using you, but you fell for it.”

“No way!”

Leah laughed, picking up the wine glass on the table and taking a sip.

“She never loved you from the start, and you were always the one chasing her. But I can’t blame you; compared to Emmett, you do fall short! If I were a woman, I wouldn’t choose you either.”

“Clara is not the kind of woman you think she is!”

“Oh, what kind is she then? She’s so noble in your heart, and I’m like dirt, right?”

“At least you know your place.”

“But this noble woman still chose Emmett over you. She knows how much you’ve done for her over the years! If she had a conscience, how could she reject you?”

“I did it willingly! I didn’t force her!”

“Don’t give me that crap. If you were really happy to let her be with Emmett, why are you meddling now?”

Elio swallowed hard. She was right.

Leah turned to look at him, “In the end, you just can’t let go! Why lie to yourself? Life is short. You’re human now, but who knows what you’ll be in the next life! If you love her, you should be with her. That’s the truth!”

Elio didn’t want to talk to her anymore, “We’re not the same kind of people! What do you want from me?”

“Nothing much… I just came up with a plan that would make you and Clara a married couple in reality! I’m too impatient to wait for you to slowly persuade Clara!

I want it fast! Let her lose all her backing in the Melendez family once and for all! Both Emmett and her two children will feel ashamed because of her!”

Elío certainly didn’t expect her to use such a trick! “You know what you’re doing! You’re a woman, too. This is ruining Clara’s reputation for life!”

Leah shrugged indifferently, “What does that have to do with me? How much is her reputation worth? Besides, if I don’t destroy her completely, how can I get into the Melendez family? If you won’t do it, someone else will.”

Elio clenched his fists, “You…”

“When this is over, I can let your parents go. It’s up to you! I won’t force you if you don’t want to do it. If you do, make up your mind quickly. I don’t want to drag this on!” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

With that, Leah returned to her seat, put down her glass, and focused on her files, no longer engaging in conversation with Elio.

Elio left in anger, slamming her door behind him.

After leaving the office, he called Clara, but she didn’t pick up after several rings.

Elio knew she was avoiding him, but he didn’t know what to do…
