Chapter 309

But now that Elio’s life was on the line, Clara couldn’t give a damn about Emmett’s potential wrath.

Clara grabbed her bag and bolted. She didn’t even make it to the front door before running into Ricardo. “Where are you off to in such a rush, Ms. Calloway?”

“I’ve got stuff to deal with. A friend of mine is sick; I’ve gotta go see him.”

Ricardo eyed her panicked expression, “Want me to tell Mr. Melendez? He knows a bunch of top-notch doctors, so he might be able to help.”

“A guy friend?”

“Don’t worry, I’m not gonna betray Mr. Melendez! But the guy once did me a favor, so I’ve gotta return his kindness!”

Ricardo was taken aback, obviously not anticipating such bluntness from Clara, leaving him stuck between a rock and a hard place.
