Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 267

“You’re not making any sense!” Leah exclaimed, “All I want is a decent husband; why is that wrong? Clara is

standing in my way. Am I not allowed to do something about it? You’re just mad because you have a soft spot for

her, and now you’re blaming me!” Leah waved her hand dismissively and said, “Fine, I won’t bother you anymore.

I’ll find someone else to discuss the Emmett situation with. After all, you’re not the only man who’s interested in

Clara.”

With that, Leah made the decision to leave.

Ignoring his own physical state, Elio quickly stood up and grabbed Leah.

“Who are you planning to talk to? I won’t allow it!”

“See, you’re blaming me again and not letting me work with others. Do I have to listen to you all the time?” Leah

threw off his hand and said, “If we weren’t related, I wouldn’t even bother seeing you! There are plenty of people in

this world who can work with me. Even if no one helps me, I can still get Clara away from Emmett. Don’t flatter

yourself.”

“I agreed to work with you; what else do you want?”

“But there’s been no progress at all!” Leah scoffed and said, “Alright, you think about what to do next. I’m off to

have tea with Emmett’s mother.”

Elio frowned. “You’ve even got Emmett’s mother on your side?”

“Of course! Did you think I was stupid enough to rely solely on you?” Leah pointed a finger at his chest and said,

“Just, so you know, I will succeed. No one can stop me, not Clara, not you.”

With that, she walked out of the hospital room with a triumphant smile.

Elio clenched his fist and punched the wall in frustration.

This had to be the worst moment of his life! And it was all his own fault! If he hadn’t gotten Leah involved in the first

place, he wouldn’t

be in this mess.

But he can’t turn back time!

At the construction site, Clara was chatting amiably with the workers, her hard hat in place..

Ricarde stayed close by, not daring to wander too far.

“Do you think the complexity of this building is manageable?”

“The more complex the design, the greater the challenge! Sure, it looks nice, but it’s not necessarily as safe as a

simpler building.”

Clara nodded and jotted down their points: “How do you think we could improve the safety of the building?”

“Keep it simple!” replied a worker, chuckling and munching on his lunch.

Clara felt comforted by their down-to-earth attitudes.

She didn’t want to be stuck in the office doing theoretical work all the time. By interacting with the workers on the

field, she felt she could learn more.

Despite the occasional misguided opinion, as the workers might not have all the facts, there were still many

valuable insights to be gained.

After a series of questions, Clara walked over to Ricardo with her notebook.

“This construction is progressing so fast. Could there be any quality issues?”

“Absolutely not; you can trust us! We use top-notch equipment and workforce, so the speed is totally normal.”

Clara nodded and asked, “By the way, how’s the batch of wood my friend provided? Have we started using it?”
