Chapter 342 Beau Is Too Difficult To Deal With
Beau’s expression darkened as he narrowed his eyes. “We’re not at that point yet. Don’t say things that hurt feelings.”
“Dad…” Clarissa cautiously approached him, smiling. “Dad, that’s not what I meant. Of course, we won’t get to that point, but if we ever do…
“If it really comes to that, I will protect you. You’re still young. Our family won’t go too far- at most, we’ll just get implicated a little. If you end up in prison for a few years, I’ll make arrangements to have you released early. But I’m too old to endure that kind of ordeal. Besides, my reputation has always been the most important thing to me.”
It was clear that Beau had no intention of taking the fall.
This was his way of outright rejecting Clarissa’s ideas–she shouldn’t even think about it.
The club business had nothing to do with him. If trouble came knocking, he certainly wouldn’t be the one to take the blame for her. “Besides, I already told you before–don’t get involved in anything linked to organized crime.”
“Dad…” Clarissa’s voice carried a hint of frustration. “Without the club, without the leverage we have over those connections, do you really think they’d willingly help the Lynches? Would they have given us the resources we have today?”
Beau let out a cold snort.
He was ready to wash his hands of the matter.
Clarissa clenched her teeth, took a deep breath, and forced a smile. “Dad, that’s not what I meant. Look at us, worrying over nothing.”
She tightened her fists, her eyes narrowing slightly.
This old man… He is selfish to the core.
“Dad!” Regina had come home.
Her eyes were red as she sat down on the sofa, sobbing. “Dad, Eric, his mother, and that Casey all ganged up to bully me!”
Clarissa raised a hand to rub her temples. “Useless. All you ever care about are these trivial, petty things.”
She looked at Regina with disdain, thinking she should stop coming back just to stir trouble over nonsense.
“What do you mean, I’m useless? And you think you’re any better?” Regina snapped, suddenly

remembering what Kelly had said. Her anger flared. “Clarissa, what happened to my daughter’s car? Explain yourself!”
Clarissa froze for a moment, frowning as she looked up. “What does that have to do with me?”
“Faye told me everything! You deliberately made her stand in the rain! How could you be so vicious? That’s my daughter–your niece!” In a frenzy, Regina screamed and grabbed Clarissa by the collar.
Guilt flashed in Clarissa’s eyes as she frowned and pushed her away. “What are you going crazy for? I just wanted her to catch a cold so Eric would feel bad and take your side. It was all for you, you idiot! How was I supposed to know…
She cut herself off, furious, and turned to leave.
“Dad!” Regina had been thrown to the floor. She stared in shock at Clarissa’s retreating figure. “Dad, did you hear that? Do those even sound like words a human being would say? She’s heartless! That’s my daughter! She made my child permanently deaf in one ear! She’s insane! Who knows what else she’s capable of?!”
Beau’s face darkened. He was already aware of Clarissa’s ruthlessness and her determination to achieve her goals. “Enough. Stop crying!”
“Dad, you have to stand up for me! Eric still hasn’t agreed to register our marriage. He’s stalling! He’s just waiting to see if our family falls apart so he can kick me to the curb!” Regina sobbed.
Beau frowned. “You haven’t registered yet?”
That Eric… Clearly, he has other plans.
“I heard he’s been getting close to the new hospital director lately,” Beau’s voice was low.
That new director is one of his people.
Beau had always known Eric was smart, but he never imagined that Eric would one day betray them.
“Call Eric over!” It was time to turn up the heat. He had to make sure Eric registered that marriage as soon as possible.
Trying to use the Lynches while keeping himself out of trouble? That Eric…. He’s getting a little too clever for his own good.
