Emmett stiffened for a moment and then slowly turned around.

“Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”

Realizing she had been impulsive, Clara quickly laughed awkwardly, “Just forget what I asked! I don’t even know what got into me. This question just popped into my head!”

“Don’t worry; I won’t contact her.” Emmett didn’t think too much and felt Clara seemed a bit uneasy.

Clara inwardly scolded herself for being so impulsive!

She had actually asked Emmett this question directly!

How long could she keep her secret if her lie were discovered and Emmett started digging? NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

It was already bad enough for her, but it could even drag Elio into it! If Emmett discovered that Elio helped her hide the child and kept it secret…

She didn’t dare to imagine what Emmett would do! He already had some dissatisfaction with Elio….

It seemed she had to do a bit of digging before she could draw any conclusions! She couldn’t just suspect people without any

Clara pursed her lips, found Leah’s phone number, and sent a message over.

evidence.

After hanging up the phone, Elio glanced at Leah, who was eating beside him and frowned.

“Did you do something to Clara?”

“Me? You should’ve seen I’ve been swamped with work these days.” Leah shrugged, “And you promised me you’d bring Clara back, so why would I need to do anything?”

His biggest regret now was letting her take Clara’s place!

“If you want to marry Emmett, don’t make decisions rashly! If I’m not mistaken, Clara is already suspicious of you.”

Leah raised her eyebrows and said, “Oh? What did you say to her?”

“If I had said something, would I be here warning you now?”

… It must be Taylor, then!” Leah stood up immediately, “I’ll go find him!”

Elio glanced at her dismissively, stating, “I’ve told you before Taylor is unreliable! From what you told me, he’s a pushover who can’t stand up to his mother! Do you think your threats will work on him? He might have feelings for Clara, but he’s got too much on his plate, too many things to consider.”

“Not like you, right?” Leah laughed, “If I hadn’t taken control of your parents, I doubt any other methods would’ve intimidated you.”

“Do you really think I’d be scared by controlling my parents?” Elio sneered, “You won’t kill them, and you won’t so easily control them! Do you think they’ve spent years in business for nothing?”

“Then you…”

Elio’s gaze turned to the window, his voice low, “…I really want to be with Clara.”

In his life, he had only ever had feelings for Clara!

The pain he felt when he decided to let her go and give her to Emmett was something only he knew!

Elio knew Leah was just an excuse! In the end, it was he who wanted Clara, and it was he who couldn’t let her go!

Hearing this, Leah felt uneasy.

She walked over to Elio, hesitated briefly, then asked, “Can you tell me the truth? What’s so good about Clara? Why are you so hung up on her?
