Chapter 366
Elio looked at Nestor with his lips pressed tight. There was a mix of emotions in his heart.
“If you’d really kicked the bucket with Leah today… Did you even consider Nestor? Did you think about me? What would become of my life? Even if you managed to rescue Aiden and Alex, how would they feel knowing someone died for them?”
Elio hung his head, “But… didn’t I already tell you?” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“I get that you were stuck between a rock and a hard place,” Clara frowned, standing up, “Alright, Nestor, get up. Elio, no more going out. Stay put here today and wait for news! I am going to inform Emmett, and I trust he’ll manage to save Aiden and Alex and give Leah the payback she deserves.”
Just as Clara was about to dial Emmett, a new message popped up on the phone. It was from Leah.
Clara frowned, “It’s Leah! She’s sent you a message.”
Elio quickly read it over.
[My dear cousin, I know you’ll be meeting Clara soon. You might even have her contact Emmett when you’re at your wits’ end, but you should also know about the formula; it’s in my hands now.]
Elio furrowed his brows, flipping to the next page.
[Here’s the truth. I’ve already given Emmett the drug from the formula! Tell Clara for me that if she spills anything about me to Emmett, he’s as good as dead. You know, besides the heir to the formula, I’m the only one with the antidote, but you’ll never know who the heir is!]
Clara stumbled, falling to the ground. She’d thought Leah wouldn’t harm Emmett, that Leah was truly in love with him, and that’s why they were at odds!
It turned out that it was all for self-interest.
Elio clenched his fists, looking at Clara with guilt, “I’m sorry, I didn’t stop the formula incident. Things have gotten way more complicated! Are you still going to call Emmett?”
Clara was panting heavily, seemingly not recovering from the shock.
After a while, Clara finally said, “Give me the phone.”
Elio handed over the phone, and Clara immediately called Leah back. After two rings, Leah picked up.
“What? Didn’t you understand my message?”
“It’s me, Clara.”
Upon hearing Clara’s voice, Leah paused, “Oh, finally decided to give me a ring? Guess you saw my message.”
“What the hell are you up to?”
“I’m not up to anything, Clara. I just want your husband.”
Clara’s hand clenched into a fist, “If you want Emmett, why did you drug him? Won’t he die if there’s no antidote for the formula?”
“That’s right!” Leah chuckled wickedly, “But, as long as tm-by Emmett’s side, won’t he always have a solution?
Clara, you know who I really am by now. I don’t mind coming clean with you! If you want him to live and want the kids to be safe and sound, you’d better swallow your pride and have Emmett give up on you as soon as possible!”
Clara bit her lip. She never imagined Leah could be so ruthless as to drug Emmett like that.
