Daddy Mommy’s Getting Remarried

Chapter 19



Chapter 19 

Clara shivered, à bone–deep chill setting in. What the hell is he up to? He couldn’t wait to dump me, and now this? He is trying to back me into a corner 

She replayed Walter’s biting remark. “I’ll make you crawl back begging.” 

“Really? After everything, it’s come to this? She despaired internally. 

Walter had snatched Marlie, using her to tighten the screws, leaving Clara powerless. 

Her phone blared again, insistently. Clara knew who it was without looking. With a heavy heart, but no choice, she picked up. 

“Dammit, Walles. This is way over the line!” Clara exploded. 

The caller paused, then corrected, “It’s Willard, I got your number from Mr. Hunt.” 

Clara paused, realizing her mistake. She hadn’t checked the caller ID in her haste

“Mr. Hersey, what do you want?” she asked, biting back irritation. 

“You and Mr. Colon knew each other? How are you on a first–name basis with him? Even I wouldn’t dare,” Willard pushed. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“We’re not acquainted.” Clara lied flatly. “Was there something you wanted?” 

“Have the gall to ask me? You promised me solo investment in the project last night, that I would pocket all profits. Come today, Mr. Hunt sells the company straight to Mr. Colon, roping me into a partnership with him. Are you trying to make me Mr. Colon’s enemy? How do we settle this mess?” Willard raged. “Don’t play dumb. Something this big, and you had no clue? Were you and Mr. Hunt playing me?” 

Clara was dumbfounded, thinking she’d have never gotten involved had she known. 

“Cat got your tongue? I’m telling you, you’re owning this project from start to finish. I’m at Colon Group now, get over here. Let’s hash out the project details,” Willard hall–threatened. “You’ve got thirty minutes. If not, I won’t let it slide!” 

The Line went dead. 

Clara was left frustrated, now with Willard on her case too. 

Checking her watch, she found it was already ten–thirty. 

It was only a twenty–minute drive to Coton Group, and Clara was cutting it close. Yet, she couldn’t shake off the confusion as to why Willard had headed there. She figured it must be related to the project, especially now that Willard’s partner had directly become Walter. 

After a moment’s hesitation, Clara hailed a cab. No matter what, she needed to make her way to Colon Group. Walter had taken Marlie, and she was hell- bent on getting her daughter back. 

Soon enough, the cab arrived at the lowering edifice of Colon Group. Clara stepped out, looking up at the imposing structure. 

The building was a modern marvel, its cool, sleek design cutting through the sky, standing proudly in the heart of the bustling city. It was a clear display of Colon Group’s financial muscle. 

Clara knew the place well, though she had never been inside. After all, she was supposed to remain unseen. 

As she entered the lobby, it seemed the receptionist had been briefed, as she was allowed through without a word. 

for the elevator, she pressed the button for the top floor, thinking to herself, Willard must be with Walter in his office right now. 

Reaching the top, she found herself in Walter’s domain, a place of opulence and state–of–the–art tech, all reserved for him. 

Standing at his office door, Clara gently pushed it open. As the door swing halfway, she caught sight of the scene inside. 

There was Walter, back tumed to her, with a woman wrapping her arms around his waist. The woman stood on her toes while Walter leaned in. 

From Clara’s perspective, it was undeniable. They were locked in a kiss
