Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 446

Clara hurriedly dashed into the bathroom, tossing the pregnancy test into the trash bin.

Just as she was about to leave, a fear gripped her that Emmett may order a search of the entire bathroom, so she slipped off her shoes, retrieved the pregnancy test, and hid it within the padding of her footwear.

Sure enough!

As soon as she stepped out, Clara met Emmett's chilling gaze.

"Disposed of the evidence?"

"No, I...I just went to the restroom. There's nothing."

Clara nervously laughed it off, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

Emmett suddenly yanked her by the collar, "I'll give you one last chance. What were you holding just now? Don't wait until I find a trace of something, or you'll have to face the consequences then."

"I... I really didn't hold anything..."

"Fine! In that case, Butler, thoroughly search the bathroom! I must find what she's hidden!"

The butler, hastily summoned, shot Clara a harsh glare before nodding respectfully at Emmett.

"Yes, young master, I will find it!"

Emmett turned to leave.

Suddenly, he whipped back around to look at Clara, ordering coldly, "If there's nothing in the bathroom, search her!"

Damn. If they searched her, she was doomed.

Clara couldn't believe that Emmett would know her so well to even consider this!

"No, I'm not, how can you insult me like this?" Clara hugged her arms tightly, retreating further, "This is illegal, I can sue you!"

"Oh, illegal?" The butler laughed like he'd heard a great joke, "You're stealing from the Melendez family and now you're playing the victim?"

"I didn't steal! Where's your proof?"

"Proof? The young master himself! He must've seen something to order a body search! Miss Calloway, this is the Melendez family, not a place where you can throw tantrums! If you're sensible, cooperate, and I believe the young master might still be lenient. Otherwise, if you're taken to the police station, no one can save you! A young girl in jail, your life would be ruined!"

Clara clenched her fists tightly. She knew Emmett was doing this on purpose!

If he didn't approve, the butler wouldn't dare to talk to her like this!

"If you want to take me to the police station, go ahead, but you definitely can't search my body without my consent!"
