Chapter 403
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 Emmett’s bodyguard, Matt.
“Hey, hey…” Elio waved his hand vigorously, trying to catch Matt’s attention.
The guard immediately stopped him, Please keep order, sir, or we won’t be so friendly anymore!”
Matt seemed to hear his call. He looked over, and after a second’s pause, walked to the door.
“What’s up, Mr. Milburn?”
“I need to see Emmett. Did he take Clara away?”
Matt answered with a straight face, “Sorry, that’s Mr. Melendez’s personal business. I can’t disclose it to you and I hope you understand.”
“I need to see him!” Elio pushed the guard in front of him away, “Is he scared to see me?”
“Mr. Melendez is busy now. I hope you won’t be too demanding!”
Elio was livid, “You took someone away without permission and that’s illegal. Now you’re blaming me for going too far. That’s absurd!”
Matt smiled, “If you have any objections to Mr. Melendez’s actions, you can call the police. But if you try to break into our place, that’s my responsibility. So I can’t agree.”
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.
“How dare you show up?”
Elio looked up and saw Emmett!
Matt immediately bowed as he saw Emmett’s presence, “Mr. Melendez, why are you here? I can handle it.”.
“You can go.” Emmett waved his hand and walked up to Elio, “You think you can take Clara away alone?”
Elio steadied himself, trying to make his tone softer to avoid a direct conflict, “I 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.”
“Give her back to you?” Emmett laughed as if he’d heard a funny joke, “She is my wife when did she become yours?”
Elio clenched his fists, his pupils shrinking, “Mr. Melendez, Clara made it clear to you on the phone last time. So why are you trying to make everyone uncomfortable? Don’t worry, I won’t 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.”
“Do you think I’m 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?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“What?” Elio was surprised, “You actually made Clara a maid?!”
Emmett raised an eyebrow, full of disgust, “Stop your unnecessary concern. Clara’s status here has nothing to do with you.”
“You… are you crazy?” Elio stared into Emmett’s eyes and said, “Do you know what Clara is going through now? She…
His voice trailed off suddenly. He didn’t let out another word.
