Chapter 198
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Clara worried that Emmett might think her father was a scoundrel and resented her..
She was also afraid that Badman would spill the beans about her kid âWhy are you always trying to get rid of him? Badman sensed something fishy. He quickly pulled Emmett aside. âTell me, do you fancy my girl?â Emmett didnât beat around the bush He replied, âSheâs my girlâ
That makes it easy then!â Badman extended his hand. âGive me five million, and Iâll leave here!â
Clara was taken aback. She frowned, âDidnât you just want three million?â
7 see your boyfriend is loaded! He must be earning big bucks here! Since Iâve already asked for money, whatâs the problem with asking for more?â âYou⦠How can you be so shameless!â Clara really felt like cutting ties with this soâcalled father!
âMe, shameless? Youâre cursing your own father, what does that make you?â
Emmett saw Badman gripping Claraâs hand. He went over, pulled Clara into his arms, and whispered to her, âYou go work on your designs. Iâll handle this.â
How can I work at a time like this?â
âThen go to Ricardoâs office,â Emmett gave a reassuring smile, âAre you afraid heâll do something to me?â
She was actually afraid that Badman would let the cat out of the bag!
Emmett turned to Badman, âFive million, right? I can give you that, but I have a condition.â
âWhat condition? You want me to never contact my daughter again, right? Let me tell you, thatâs not going to happen! As long as sheâs alive, she has to take care of me! Thatâs how itâs supposed to be!â
âWhile sheâs alive, she has to support you, thatâs true. But itâs not the only answer.â
Badman was stunned, âWhat do you mean?â
âWhat if⦠youâre dead?â Emmett spread his hands, âThen my girl wonât have to support you.â
â¦Are you threatening to kill me?!â
âI bet a lot of people want you dead, so it wouldnât even have to be me. You owe so much gambling debt, you know who youâve pissed off, right? Do you think they might want you dead?â
Badman got spooked. He quickly turned to Clara, âYou useless thing! Heâs talking about me like this, and you donât say a word?! Your boyfriend wants me dead!â
âNow you remember youâre my father? What have you given me since I was a child?â Claraâs eyes reddened, âWhen have you ever cared about me? Youâve never cared whether I live or die!â
If it wasnât for Emmett, she might have been beaten to death that night!
There would be no life for her today!
âYou are my daughter tool Without me, where would you come from!â Badman Calloway took a few steps back, not wanting to confront Emmett headâon, âThatâs all!â I promise you, if you give me five million, I will no longer recognize you as my daughter!â
Clara saw Emmett about to make a call. She quickly stopped him, âDonât! If you give him the money, heâll just blow it on gambling!â
