Chapter 79
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âUmm⦠you, you really like Emmelt that much?â
âDo you think? I have to marry him! It has to be him!â
âOh⦠so thatâs it, youâre so devoted to him! Well, why donât you talk to Emmett? Because divorce doesnât happen just because I say sol Emmett has to agree too.â
Hearing this, Molly Parrott immediately figured she was just being fobbed off.
And out of nowhere, she pulled out a knife!
Claraâs heart skipped a beatâ¦
Oh crapâ¦
Was she going to meet her maker right here today?
âMs Parrott! Cool your jets! How about this, Iâll call Emmett over, okay? And then Iâll definitely convince him to fall for you and marry you! Donât worry, Iâm absolutely gonna agree to the divorce, no strings attached!â
Molly Parrott seemed a bit torn after hearing this, but at least she seemed to ease up a bit.
But then the next second, she switched gears again!
âYou think Iâm a dummy, huh? Youâre calling Emmett to rescue you, right? To whisk you away! Seeing me like this, Emmettâs not gonna fall for me!*
âWell then, let go of me! And we can sit quietly in the office, and Iâll call Emmett over, okay?â
âNo way! You have to get a divorce from Emmett yourself! Right now!â
âOkay, okay! Iâll do as you say!â
She had no choice but to comply!
She had to get out of this safely and see Alex, she couldnât lose her life here all because of Emmett!
âWell, you have to let go of me, right? How am I gonna call Emmett otherwise, right?â
Molly Parrott looked at her, half in doubt, thought for a while, and finally let go..
âThen make the call now! Right now!â
âOkay, Iâm contacting Emmett now!â Clara quickly took out her cell phone.
Once she got through, Emmettâs deep voice came over the phone.
âWhatâs up?â
âUmmâ¦â Clara glanced at Molly Parrott, âCan we meet? I have something to tell you.â
âNow? Iâm dropping Aiden off at school.
So he was dropping Aiden off first thing in the morningâ¦.
âYes, right now! Itâs really urgent.â
Emmett paused, then replied, âOkay, Iâm heading to the office now.â
Clara hung up and waved her phone, âSee, Iâve made the call! Emmett said heâs on his way here.â
âIâm going to change my clothes!â Molly Parrott seemed to light up at the news, even cracking a hint of an excited smile! But then she stopped short, âJust so you know, donât you dare cross me! Or else, youâll regret it!â
âOkay, donât worry!â
As Clara was dealing with her, Ricardo walked in from outside, looking confused.
âWhy is it so quiet today? Whereâs everyone outside? Donât the security guards have work to do?â
Halfway in, Ricardo noticed Clara and Molly Parrott together and was taken aback, âMs Calloway?
What are you doing here?â
Or rather, he was more curious about why she was with Molly Parrott!
Molly Parrott had been hounding Mr. Melendez like a madwoman for a while now, even starting to act a bit crazy!
Clara shot him a look and Ricardo realized something might be up!
Suddenly, Molly Parrott grabbed Clara by the collar and pulled out the knife again!
You called for backup, didnât you?â
