Chapter 199

Once Badman’s broke, he’ll ask Clara for money again!

“Don’t sweat it” Emmett chuckled, “With me stepping into this situation, things will be different”

Clara didn’t know how to say I’ve got some buddies in Las Vegas, I’ll give them a heads up to keep an eye on your father”

Soon, Ricardo brought the check and placed it in front of Badman Calloway “Here’s five million, take it! Remember what you said, if I see you next time… I hope it would be at your funeral Emmett’s laugh was spine–chilling, “i always get what I want.”

Badman took the check, didn’t even spare them a glance before he turned and left.

Clara breathed a sigh of relief, but felt even more pressured.

“Emmett I haven’t paid back the last money…

“You don’t need to pay back”

“That’s your money, I must pay it back!” Clara frowned. “I can’t even afford to pay back this five million!”

Emmett raised his hand and smoothed her furrowed brow “Don’t let these things get to you! Didn’t you say you want to be a designer? Then go for it with all your heart! Leave the rest to me, don’t overthink.”

“But how can I…”

“By being my girl, you can!” Emmett held her hand tightly. “If I can’t even handle this, how am I supposed to protect you?”

Clara lowered her head, “I’m sorry, and… thank you.”

“No need to say that, it’s what I should do.”

Taylor scrutinized the documents on his desk, his eyes filled with doubt.

“Mr. Atwood, I’ve been investigating for a while, even tracked down Mr. Quintin’s ex-girlfriends, but found no connection between Mr. Quintin and Ms. Calloway.”

“So, Clara doesn’t know him.”

The secretary nodded, “That’s the likely scenario! If they had a relationship, there would have been traces! But as it stands, they have no connection.”

Taylor waved it off, “I see! What about my arrangement to meet Clara? Is it done?”

“About that… I’m still working on it! Can’t invite her on behalf of the company, it’s a bit tricky….since I’m not familiar with Ms. Calloway, she might not come if I suddenly invite her.”

“Then you drive and bump into her.” Taylor pondered, “You can intentionally hit her car, that way you’ll have a point of connection.”

The secretary was taken aback.

He didn’t expect Mr. Atwood to go to such… childish and dangerous lengths just to meet a woman.

“Alright, I’ll do it.” But he had no right to refuse.

So he did as instructed.

Taylor waved his hand, “Go on! Get it done soon.”

“Got it, Mr. Atwood.”

Not long after the secretary left, Teresa walked in.

“Taylor”

“Mom, what brings you here?” Taylor immediately stood up to greet her.

“I was too bored or home, you’ve been very busy at the company lately and haven’t had time to come home and see me, so I camel Teresa took out a homemade cake, “Come, I made this myself, have a taste.

Taylor took it and nodded, “Thank you, mom.”

“No matter how busy your work is, you must take care of your health. After your accident last time, the doctor told you to rest more, but you’ve put all your energy into work.
