Chapter 320

“Clara, I’ve even put my parents’ safety at risk for you. Just stay put here for a while, and when things cool down, I’ll let you go back. Then, I’ll explain everything to him.”

“…Emmett wouldn’t betray me! I just need to have a word with him. Even a text message would do!”

“In the end, you just don’t trust me!” Elio turned cold, “Then just stay here! If you think Emmett can come to rescue you, then just wait and see!”

With that, he turned to leave. Clara rushed to stop him, “You can’t leave me here! Let me go; no matter the danger, I’ll face it myself!”

Elio’s lips tightened, “It’s not up to you!”

Two days!

Two full days without any news of Clara.

Now, the whole Melendez Group was on edge, as President Emmett was about to lose it!

Ricardo, delivering documents, gently knocked on the door, only-daring to enter when he heard a sound from inside.

Before he could speak, Emmett asked directly, “Any news of Clara?”

Ricardo shook his head, stepping forward to place the documents on the table, “I’m sorry… this is all my fault. I should’ve stopped her from leaving.”

ד Emmett rubbed his forehead, gesturing for him to leave. But Ricardo, seeing his haggard look, felt extremely guilty.

“Mr. Melendez, Mrs. Melendez must be fine. Please eat something. I heard from the canteen staff that you haven’t touched the food they sent these past few days! This can’t go on; we still have no news of Mrs. Melendez. You’ll fall sick like this…”

“Right now, apart from the news of Clara, I don’t want to hear anything else! I don’t have an appetite;

you go do your work!”

Emmett appeared disheveled, with stubble covering his face and a hoarse voice, a stark contrast to his usual vibrant self.

Ricardo knew the importance of Clara to the president. It was this that made him feel particularly guilty.

If only he could have stopped Clara from leaving, maybe none of this would have happened…

Suddenly, Emmett stood up from his chair and reached for his car keys.

“I need to go out. If there’s anything, call me, especially if there’s news about Clara. Get in touch immediately!”

Ricardo nodded but worried he might have an accident while driving, “Where are you going? Let me drive you; you haven’t eaten these days. I’m worried about you…” “I’m fine, and I won’t let anything happen to me until I find Clara!”

Emmett’s face darkened, and he strode out of the office.

When his phone rang, he had just reached the ground floor; he hadn’t even left the company..

It was a news alert. Normally, Emmett wouldn’t have paid any attention, but the headline made him pause.

Clara!

Why was her name here?

Emmett immediately clicked on the news headline; he stood still, frozen in place.

“Elio getting married? Rumor has it his bride-to-be is the secretary of the Melendez Group, named Clara!”

“Shocker! Elio’s fiancée turns out to be the ex-girlfriend of AW Company’s president!

The news link also included a photo depicting a woman and a man lying in bed.

Although the man’s face was obscured, Emmett was certain that woman was definitely Clara!
