Chapter 337

“Give me a few days to think it over.”

“I don’t have the luxury of time to wait for you. One day tops, you gotta let me know by tomorrow!”

Newell’s voice was riled up, “But concocting a potion isn’t a walk in the park. I gotta hunt for the ingredients I need!”

“I get it. That’s why I can’t waste any time on you. Agree fast and start your procurement. Don’t you dare mess up my plans! And if you do, don’t blame me for not being nice!”

“What exactly are you trying to pull? Can’t you just spill the beans? Once I hand over the potion, we’re on the same team. If I’m going to take any risks, I should at least know why, right?”

Leah chuckled coldly, “Relax! No harm will come to you; we’ll only be better off! Once Emmett and I tie the knot, your good days are just around the corner, aren’t they?”

“You and Emmett? When did this happen?” Newell was taken aback, his spirits dampened, “You’re not planning on giving this potion to Emmett, are you? That’s a line I won’t cross! Even if you offer me all your shares, I wouldn’t dare cross the Melendez family.”

Because if the Melendez family found out, he could lose everything in an instant.

“Don’t worry, I still plan on marrying Emmett. Why would harm him with this potion? I know it can cause permanent damage to the body, so I won’t drag you into this! Tomorrow, you must give me an answer by tomorrow.”

She hung up the call and was about to put down her phone when a new, unread message appeared.

Leah opened it; it was from Sophia.

“I tried to call you earlier. You were on a call. Get back to me when you’re free. I’d like to discuss my son and the children.”

Upon seeing this, Leah immediately called back. Her voice had softened from her previous cold tone.

“I was just on a call with the company secretary. What’s this about the children? Don’t tell me they refuse to acknowledge me?”

“That’s not the problem; they are your flesh and blood. They will surely acknowledge you.” Sophia sighed, “It’s just that my son is so stubborn! He even sent someone to take the children away, and it took me a lot of effort to keep the children! Let’s cut to the chase! I just want to ask if you could put on a show with me?” “A show? I’m not sure I understand what you mean….. Leah pretended not to understand, her tone full of worry, “Maybe we should just drop it. From what I see, this has already strained your relationship with Emmett. I really don’t want to see you upset and fighting because of me…”

“Don’t mind about those. I just want to know if you’re willing to put on this act with me?”

Leah sensed her urgency and quickly responded, “Of course I am! If it allows me to be with the children, I’d go through hell and high water!”

“Good! I only need your promise. Meet me at the bakery we went to before tomorrow morning, I will tell you what to do. Don’t worry, I will make sure you can be with the children! I will not let Clara continue to influence my two grandsons. They are still young. If they are led astray by a morally bankrupt Clara, it would affect themy for the rest of their lives!”
