Chapter 403
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Elio was so pissed off that he clenched his fists. He wished he could just punch the guard in front of him. If he could just call Emmett directly, would he need this guy to announce him?
Just as Elio was about to barge in, he suddenly saw a familiar figure coming from inside; it was Emmettâs bodyguard, Matt.
âHey, heyâ¦â Elio waved his hand vigorously, trying to catch Mattâs attention.
The guard immediately stopped him, Please keep order, sir, or we wonât be so friendly anymore!â
Matt seemed to hear his call. He looked over, and after a secondâs pause, walked to the door.
âWhatâs up, Mr. Milburn?â
âI need to see Emmett. Did he take Clara away?â
Matt answered with a straight face, âSorry, thatâs Mr. Melendezâs personal business. I canât disclose it to you and I hope you understand.â
âI need to see him!â Elio pushed the guard in front of him away, âIs he scared to see me?â
âMr. Melendez is busy now. I hope you wonât be too demanding!â
Elio was livid, âYou took someone away without permission and thatâs illegal. Now youâre blaming me for going too far. Thatâs absurd!â
Matt smiled, âIf you have any objections to Mr. Melendezâs actions, you can call the police. But if you try to break into our place, thatâs my responsibility. So I canât agree.â
Elio frowned while seeing more and more people gathering. Coming here alone, he was no match for Emmett. Just as he was about to call for backup, he heard a deep sound.
âHow dare you show up?â
Elio looked up and saw Emmett!
Matt immediately bowed as he saw Emmettâs presence, âMr. Melendez, why are you here? I can handle it.â.
âYou can go.â Emmett waved his hand and walked up to Elio, âYou think you can take Clara away alone?â
Elio steadied himself, trying to make his tone softer to avoid a direct conflict, âI believe there are so many girls around Mr. Melendez. If you want, I can help you find women who are more beautiful and have better figures than Clara. You can do w whatever you want, but I hope you can give Clara back to me.â
âGive her back to you?â Emmett laughed as if heâd heard a funny joke, âShe is my wife when did she become yours?â
Elio clenched his fists, his pupils shrinking, âMr. Melendez, Clara made it clear to you on the phone last time. So why are you trying to make everyone uncomfortable? Donât worry, I wonât tell anyone about me taking Clara away. Your marriage has always been a secret to most people. Just a few know. As long as we both zip our mouths, no one will know.â
âDo you think Iâm in the mood to play games with you? Why should grant your will? Plus, Clara is doing a great job as a maid at my house. She seems to love it. Or should I call her out and ask?â
âWhat?â Elio was surprised, âYou actually made Clara a maid?!â
Emmett raised an eyebrow, full of disgust, âStop your unnecessary concern. Claraâs status here has nothing to do with you.â
âYou⦠are you crazy?â Elio stared into Emmettâs eyes and said, âDo you know what Clara is going through now? Sheâ¦
His voice trailed off suddenly. He didnât let out another word.
