Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 198

Clara worried that Emmett might think her father was a scoundrel and resented her..

She was also afraid that Badman would spill the beans about her kid.

“Why are you always trying to get rid of him?” Badman sensed something fishy. He quickly pulled Emmett aside. “Tell me, do you fancy my girl?”

Emmett didn't beat around the bush. He replied, “She’s my girl.”

“That makes it easy then!” Badman extended his hand. “Give me five million, and I'll leave here!”

Clara was taken aback. She frowned, “Didn’t you just want three million?”

“I see your boyfriend is loaded! He must be earning big bucks here! Since I've already asked for money, what's the problem with asking for more?”

“You... How can you be so shameless!” Clara really felt like cutting ties with this so-called father!

“Me, shameless? You're cursing your own father, what does that make you?”

Emmett saw Badman gripping Clara's hand. He went over, pulled Clara into his arms, and whispered to her, “You go work on your designs. I'll handle this.”

“...How can I work at a time like this?”

“Then go to Ricardo's office,” Emmett gave a reassuring smile, “Are you afraid he'll do something to me?”

She was actually afraid that Badman would let the cat out of the bag!

Badman got spooked. He quickly turned to Clara, “You useless thing! He's talking about me like this, and you don't say a word?! Your boyfriend wants me dead!”

“Now you remember you're my father? What have you given me since I was a child?” Clara's eyes reddened, “When have you ever cared about me? You've never cared whether I live or die!”

If it wasn't for Emmett, she might have been beaten to death that night!

There would be no life for her today!

"You are my daughter too! Without me, where would you come from!" Badman Calloway took a few steps back, not wanting to confront Emmett head-on, "That's all!" I promise you, if you give me five million, I will no longer recognize you as my daughter!"

Clara saw Emmett about to make a call. She quickly stopped him, "Don't! If you give him the money, he'll just blow it on gambling!"
