Chapter 291

“Taylor, let me explain!” Seeing him turn to leave, Teresa hurriedly rushed over to grab him, “I’m only doing all this for your own good!”

“But it’s only good if I think it’s good.” Taylor’s eyes were full of despair for this home as he stated, “I’m suffocating here. I’m literally choking! If you still want me as your son. stop meddling in my business with Clara, or I’ll never come back home.”

He shrugged off her hand and strode away. Teresa stumbled after him a few steps but couldn’t catch up.

She knew her son was really pissed this time.

But… should she just let Clara marry into the family?

Teresa clenched her fists and turned back to make a phone call.

“Hey… is there any way to alter someone’s memory? I want to erase his recent ones.”

“What? That’s too risky! Last time it was because of the car accident, we could do the surgery then, but it’s only been a short time you want to do it again. First, I’m worried his body can’t handle it. The gap is too short! Second… will he cooperate?”

“But if this goes on, if he learns all the truth, I can’t bear the consequences! He had a big fight with me today, I’ve thought about it a lot, and I don’t know any other good solutions…”

“Here’s the deal, you figure out a way to get him to behave, then I’ll give him a check-up and assess whether he can undergo surgery again.”

“Okay!” Teresa immediately agreed and said, “Remember, no one else can know this time! Doesn’t the Milburn family always play it safe? Why are there problems when it comes to my affairs?”-

“I hate to see it too.” The other end of the line chuckled, “Anyway, now that it’s happened, we just need to take it one step at a time! Things will work themselves out.”

Teresa scoffed, “Easy for you to say when it’s not your problem.”

“Hey! Don’t be like that; I’m trying my best to figure out a solution! That’s settled, then. If possible, I’ll hurry up and do the second surgery for him, eh? But this time, you can’t let him find any clues! Better yet, don’t let that Clara show up again.”

A hint of hatred flashed in Teresa’s eyes.

“I know what to do.”

Indeed, Clara stayed in the office for the whole afternoon. Luckily, there was a lot of work to do, and she drew some more design sketches. Except for Ricardo, no one else noticed anything amiss.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to clock off. She stood up and walked around, ensuring everything was as usual before she dared to go to the elevator to the underground car park.

When the door opened, she saw Emmett Melendez leaning against the car, smiling at her..

Clara’s cheeks turned slightly red as she said, “You’re laughing!”

“Did I do something wrong?” Emmett strode over to her, “I feel particularly good today; can’t I be happy?”

“Of course, you can be happy. I’ve been stuck in the office all day! Ricardo must know something since he wanted me to go on-site, and I didn’t!”

Clara muttered to herself as she opened the car door and got in.

Emmett smiled, “Okay, next time, not in your office. Then I’ll tell people you’re busy and need to stay in my office, can’t go out. How’s that?”

Clara immediately widened her eyes, “There’s a next time? I don’t want a next time!”

She really couldn’t keep up with Emmett’s energy!

Every day apart from work, she had to satisfy his… needs.
