Hubby 342

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!"
