“No need.” Elio downed the drink in his wine glass in one go, then turned to Leah, “Are you sure youcan do this without leaving any trace for the Melendez family to replace if they start investigating in thefuture?”

Leah waved her finger, filling his glass again, “Of course! If I fail to handle this thing perfectly. I’d be theone to blame if anything goes wrong in the future! By that time, even if I have married Emmett, he’ll kickme out. All my hard work would go down the drain!”

Elio stayed silent, frowning.

“I’m surprised you think that way” Leah chuckled, “I originally wanted to work with Taylor! We’ve metonce already.”

“Taylor?” Elio raised an eyebrow, “Why would you look for him?”

“Why, to help him win Clara, of course! Didn’t you know? Clara is the apple of Taylor’s eye!”

“Back in the day, Taylor’s mom thought Clara wasn’t good enough for her son, so she arranged for himto lose his memory, forgetting all about Clara! To make sure everything went according to plan, sheeven arranged for people to pressure Clara’s dad into paying his debts. When he couldn’t pay, theyforced Clara to be a surrogate. All of this was orchestrated by Taylor’s mom.”

Elio was taken aback. No wonder…

He had been puzzled about how Clara got tangled up with the Melendez family. After all, the gapbetween Clara and the Melendez family was just too big, and they shouldn’t have any connection at all!

But now everything made sense after Leah’s explanation.

“So, would Taylor’s mom mess up with Clara if Clara and Taylor got back together?” With what she didback then, if Clara married Taylor wouldn’t her life be miserable?

Leah raised an eyebrow, “You’re right! So that’s why it’s plan B. I don’t want to be that cruel. I still wantto help you and Clara.”

“If Clara and Taylor got together, their life would be bitter for sure! Taylor is too submissive! He mightstand up for Clara at first, but he’d get tired of it eventually.”

Elio clenched his fist and put down his wine glass, “You’re really stooping low to get Emmett!”

“How can you say I’m stooping low? I’m just going for the best option for me!” Leah shrugged, “I haveto admit, I’m not as noble as you, watching the one I love in someone else’s arms! I’m morepossessive; the one I love must be mine.”

“But you’re gonna ruin Clara!”

“If you’re willing to marry Clara and help me resolve the obstacles that are hindering me, I won’t giveher a hard time anymore. I won’t care where she goes then. If you don’t accept her, she’ll naturally goback to Taylor’ Leah smirked, “Makes sense, doesn’t it?”

“Sense, my ass!” Elio was a bit mad, “You had it all planned out when you came back, didn’t you? Youcame back just to snatch Clara’s man! You probably had it all figured out when I asked for your help!”
