Chapter 404

Emmett squinted, his gaze sweeping over Elio’s face, asking, “What’s up with her?”

Elio’s mouth twitched, swallowing hard on words he had intended to say, “She… she’s weak and can’t do heavy work. But if you really need help, I can find someone else for you!”

“You think what I need is a helper?”

Without saying anything, Elio clenched his teeth. How he wished he could have just rushed over and punched that man! But, for Clara’s sake, he had to keep his cool, “Emmett, can you just let her go?

Whatever you want, I can give. I know you hate me. You despise me. You can vent all your anger on me. But Clara is just a delicate girl. She can’t withstand your revenge!”

Emmett suddenly reached out, pulling Elio over.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

“Elio, remember your place. You’re not in a position to negotiate with me! If you really care for Clara, you might as well check on your family, I heard they’re on the brink of bankruptcy!”

Elio’s pupils contracted before asking, “What did you do to my family?”

“I didn’t do anything to your family. I have no interest in bullying a loser from a soon-to-be bankrupt family.””

“You…”

“Matt, see the guest out! If he causes any more trouble, deal with him as per the rules!”

Matt nodded, “Yes, Mr. Melendez.”

“Emmett! What kind of hero are you treating a woman like this? If you have the guts, come at me! I’m not scared!”

Hearing Elio’s yelling, Emmett’s figure paused slightly.

The next second, a familiar figure appeared at the corner of the door.

Emmett’s gaze instantly turned cold, and his fists clenched tightly.

It was Clara Calloway! Why was she here?

Was she afraid that Emmett was going to bully Elio?

They really were a pair of star-crossed lovers!

Clara saw Elio at the door, then rushed over to Emmett, even nearly tripping in her haste!

She had heard others saying that someone was causing trouble at the door, and she immediately guessed it was Elio!

“Emmett, stop giving him a hard time. This has nothing to do with him. This is all my fault!”

She was still defending Elio!

A fury ignited in Emmett’s heart as he walked towards Clara coldly.

“Who let you out? Get back in! Have you finished washing the clothes?”

“I will wash them! Even if I don’t sleep, I’ll finish! But I beg you, let Elio go.” Clara didn’t care. She directly grabbed Emmett’s clothes, “I was wrong. You can do whatever you want. Let me be your helper. Let me wash your feet, clean your toilet, even kneel for you! Just don’t drag Elio into this. He’s innocent through and through!”

“He’s innocent? What about me? I should just accept this treatment from you?”

Clara’s eyes widened, she shook her head in panic, “No, that’s not what I meant…

Emmett raised an eyebrow, his tone icy, “You think I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you, shouldn’t have married you, shouldn’t have forced you to marry me, shouldn’t have focused all my attention on you, right?”

Clara looked up at him, wanting to explain, but found that she couldn’t make a sound!
