Chapter 349
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âSince you have feelings for me, why not help me out one more time?â
âBut you canât keep having me doing all these shady stuff for you. If your plan works, youâll get to marry Emmett. If it fails, Iâm the one whoâs going be dragged into it. Either way, I donât get anything good out of it.â
Leah smirked and asked, âAre you looking for some kind of reward or something? Well, why donât you tell me?â
Mr. Quintin seemed disappointed as he said, âYou still donât get it. I donât want you to marry Emmett.
Canât you just drop all these schemes? Canât you just accept my proposal and stay with me? Iâll treat you right. Anything you want, Iâll give it to you.â
âWhat I want is Emmett! Can you give me him?â
Mr. Quintin was left speechless by her response!
âSo⦠youâre saying⦠You wonât help me anymore? Well, Iâm hanging up then.â
Leah didnât want to waste any more time on him and was about to hang up.
Mr. Quintin quickly spoke up, âTell me, what do you want me to do this time? Iâm already in your hands, and Iâll just have to accept it!â
Leah chuckled and said, âDonât think you wonât benefit if I succeed. If I become part of the Melendez family, your company will benefit too.â
âYou know thatâs not what I want!â
But all I need to do is to sing your praises in front of Emmett, and then the Quintin Group can easily establish a relationship with the Melendez family. Thatâs something many CEOS dream of. Itâs just a piece of cake for you.â
Mr. Quintin muttered, âWhatever, thereâs no point arguing with you now! All you see is Emmett, and I doubt Iâll ever be in your sightsâ¦â
Leah didnât have time to entertain him; she said coldly, âI need to find out where Elio is. You have to find a way to lure him out.â
âElio? I donât have any connection with him! All I know is that heâs a part of your family. Isnât it easier for you to find him?â
âBut heâs gone into hiding. I canât go look for him, given my identity. If I approach him under my own name, he will definitely run further away. But youâre different! Elio doesnât know about our relationship.
To him, youâre like an invisible man. Iâll give you an address. Pretend to approach him; donât let him notice you. Then, install a GPS there so I can track his location.â
âIs it that simple?â Mr. Quintin hesitated, âBut if Elio is hiding, how could he possibly show up in front of me? Even if I want to approach him, he doesnât know me. I need to at least see him.â
âDonât worry about that; Iâll figure something out! If you agree, Iâll have someone set up a meeting with him, and then you can go and chat with him. Just kill time.â
This time, Leah intended to take on both Elio and Clara and make them both suffer!
Aiden and Alex didnât know how long they had been walking until they saw a tall building in front of them.
Not far away, a taxi was heading towards them.
Aiden immediately waved his hand and said, âWe need a ride!â
However, just as the car was about to reach them, it didnât stop.
Alex suddenly sat down on the side of the road and said, âAiden, itâs really late, and we might not be able to find a car. I canât walk anymore. Can you call Grandma and ask her to pick us up?â
