"Heh." Emmett gave a cold laugh, not giving him a clear answer.
The woman glanced at Elio and said, "Mr. Melendez, I apologize. It's all my fault; it has nothing to do with Mr. Milburn! If you want to punish someone, punish me! I'm not afraid anymore, so please don't get others involved."
Elio looked at her, somewhat surprised.
However, Emmett's eyes filled with more trust after hearing her words.
He remembered that woman from before; she seemed strong, not the kind to be easily scared!
"Is the kid back?"
"Yes! He's staying with me temporarily. You did say I shouldn't bring him today, didn't you?"
"Right." Emmett suddenly stood up, walking over to them.
The woman was so shocked that she trembled; even Elio was startled.
"What's her name?"
"Leah Calloway."
"She's from the Calloway family?!"
"Yes!"
At that moment, Emmett's phone buzzed. He glanced down; it was a message from his mother.
【I can't remember that woman's name, just that she's from the Calloway family】
Could it be that he can't resist any woman from the Calloway family?
Otherwise, why would there be Clara and now Leah Calloway, both of whom he doesn't find repulsive?
"Mr. Melendez? What do you plan to do with her?"
"Let the kid stay; she can go."
He didn't want compensation; he just wanted to punish this woman in his anger! He's not as angry anymore, so forget about it.
"Really?" Elio was somewhat surprised, "Then I'll take her away now! Thanks for your mercy, Mr. Melendez!"
With that, he was about to leave with Leah Calloway.
"When I say come over, just come over, don't ask so many questions."
"Alright, I'll come over now."
On the other end of the phone, Clara hung up, already prepared for the worst.
There must be some problem over there!
Doesn't Emmett trust the woman Elio brought?
Anyway, I should personally handle this issue!
I can't let Elio take all the responsibility!
Clara tidied herself up, ready to leave, but Alex came out of his room before she could.
"Mom...are you going to see that man?"
"Alex, no matter what, he's your father!"
"I don't want him to be my father!"
