Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 231

Taylor Atwood turned to his mother, "Did you see Clara with another man?"

"You think I wouldn't know about that? Think about it, if Clara was a good girl, why would I have stopped her from coming to our house? Wouldn't I be happy to see you two in love?"

"..."

Teresa gently patted her son's hand, "Even if we don't mention Clara, do you know what kind of man her father is? He's a gambler! When he's broke, he forced Clara to give him money!"

"But Clara is a poor soul! Maybe her liking for money isn't her true intention!"

"But can you accept a woman who could sell herself for money at any moment?"

Taylor fell silent.

"I know Clara can't control her own fate, but the Atwood family is a decent family! We can't let people gossip about us! What your father and grandfather built is the fruit of their blood, sweat, and tears! If you really marry Clara, her greed could quickly ruin our family's wealth! I can't just stand by and watch her destroy our family, destroy your father's legacy."

Taylor bowed his head, "So, did you really cause my memory loss?"

"No!" Teresa denied firmly, "You're my son, how could I do anything to harm you? I just want what's best for you!"

"I understand, Mom! You go on, I need some quiet time."

"Okay." Teresa nodded, tucking him in, "You've been unwell lately, and not in a good mood, I think you should take a break from work! Stay home and rest! You can go back to the office when you're feeling better! I'll have the secretary handle things for now, he'll call you if anything comes up."
