Chapter 407
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âI know you donât want me to show up at the Melendez household; let alone in front of Emmett! So, you plot and scheme. You better figure out a way for me to leave the Melendez family as soon as possible then!â
Leah watched Claraâs facial expressions closely, noting that she didnât seem to be lying. With a cold laugh, she retorted, âIâll come up with a solution, but donât you dare play any tricks?â
Then she pulled out a packet of white powder from her pocket, âHere, this is the antidote! Give it to Emmett to drink. I donât care how you do it, but you better not let him find out! Because this antidote isnât a one-time cure, if Emmett finds out, there wonât be a next time!â
Clara quickly reached out to take the antidote, cradling it carefully in her hands. âWhen are you planning to fully cure Emmett?â
âThat depends on my mood. Whenever he falls in love with me, thatâs when heâll get the final antidote.â
Leah smirked, âSo donât get your hopes up. The title of Mrs. Melendez is mine alone. Youâve lost your chance forever!â
Clara pursed her lips, unable to stand the sight of Leahâs face any longer.
It was a face she had once trusted, even considered as a friendâs. But it was also that face that had brought her to such a state, even involving Emmett!
âWhat about⦠my two children? Whatâs your plan for them to leave the Melendez family and come back to me?â
âAre you rushing me now? Donât forget your place. Look at your maidâs outfit, it suits you! The kids are an obstacle to me, Iâll definitely remove them. But I canât guarantee when!â
Clara frowned. Just as she had suspected, Leah wasnât going to keep her promises. Her words held no credibility.
âAfter all, I still need them. In Sophiaâs eyes, they are my biological children! Look at how well she treats me. Even before Emmett and I are married, sheâs willing to let me rest here. As for you, you have to return to your rightful place. Donât dream too high, or the fall will hurt!â
Just as Clara opened her mouth to retort, Leah suddenly collapsed in front of her!
Instinctively, Clara reached out to catch Leah, only to be met by Sophiaâs harsh voice!
âClara, what are you doing here? What were you planning to do with my future daughter-in-law?â
Clara froze, realizing what had happened, âI didnât push herâ¦â
Sophia quickly moved to Leahâs side, helping her up and berating Clara, âThereâs only the two of you here. If you didnât push her, did she fall on her own? Clara, what are your intentions? Youâve betrayed my son, and you still have the nerve to show up at the Melendezâs?!â
Leah, however, played innocent and even pretended to be magnanimous, âSophia, donât blame her anymore! Maybe I just lost my footing, I believe she didnât mean it!â
âDonât defend her! Sheâs not worth it! This woman is two-faced. Iâve seen her true colors for a long time!â Sophia spat out harshly, holding Leahâs hand tightly, âOn one hand, sheâs deceiving my son. On the other, sheâs flirting with other men. Iâve seen a lot of bitches in my life, but one as cunning and calculating as her is a first!â
