Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 347

Soon after the call, Matt shot over an address.

Emmett immediately grabbed his keys up and went out of the office.

He noticed the address was a good stretch away from the city. If he needed to stash Clara somewhere, this place seemed bloody perfect.

A feeling hit Emmett out of nowhere, and it made him realize he was getting closer to Clara.

He pushed the pedal to the metal, almost wishing his car could sprout wings and fly.

But just as he was about to exit the highway, there was a traffic jam! Right on the path to the suburban villa!

Emmett hopped out of his car to evaluate the situation. Turns out there was a car crash up front, the two parties squabbling endlessly, causing the traffic jam.

“I need ten grand in compensation, not a penny less! Look at my car; it’s practically totaled!”

“Ten grand? Are you trying to rip me off? Don’t think I won’t call the cops! How’s your junk heap worth ten grand? I wouldn’t take your car even if you paid me five grand!”

The two drivers were arguing up a storm in front of the toll booth, completely oblivious to the traffic jam they caused.

Emmett frowned, cut through the crowd, scribbled down ten grand on a check, and handed it over, "Here's your compensation. Now move your cars! Right now!”

The two drivers were gobsmacked, taking a few seconds to gather their wits.

One of them quickly pocketed the check and said, “I’m leaving right now!”

Soon, both cars were towed, and traffic started flowing again.

Emmett hopped back in his car, continuing his journey.

But what he didn’t notice was that someone had recognized his car and dialed a number…

…

He was only a kilometer away from the villa according to the map.

Emmett gripped the steering wheel, with a whirlwind of emotions. He felt excited but also dreaded disappointment.
