Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 343

“We better steer clear of this stuff.” Clara crinkled her brow, wondering why such a thing even existed.

“Getting this recipe is like getting a certain level of power. For instance, if I command Emmett right now, he’s gotta obey me. Whatever I tell him to do, he’ll do it. If I don’t give him the antidote, he’s as good as dead.”

Upon hearing this, Clara’s heart sank. “So, who’s got this recipe now?”

Leah was capable of anything. The last time Clara met her, she played the innocent so convincingly that Clara almost felt like she’d wronged her.

If Leah could scheme to get close to Emmett before, she could definitely use this recipe to control Emmett now.

This was not okay!

She needed to leave quickly and tell Emmett about this.

“Don’t worry, the recipe isn’t in Leah’s hands. After my grandpa died, he passed it on to his most trusted successor. His criteria was that the person has to be righteous! The recipe can’t end up in the wrong hands!”

Clara was a bit uneasy, “But why pass it down at all? I feel like it’s just testing people’s hearts, and human nature is always unpredictable!”

“The person chosen by Grandpa won’t go wrong. Otherwise, he would have destroyed the recipe rather than pass it on.”

“But everyone can be tempted as long as the conditions are right! Just like me, I consider myself a person who has never thought of hurting others. I don’t have any evil intentions. But if one day, if someone threatened me with my child’s life, I think I would compromise!”

Elio said worriedly, “I’m not sure about that, but compared to Emmett, I’m more afraid that if Leah gets the recipe, she’ll use it on you!”

Clara bit her lip, her face full of worry.

Elio looked at her worried expression and said, “I understand your concerns. In fact, I’ve been pondering over it these past few days, so I’ve already asked who Grandpa passed the recipe on to.”

Clara immediately asked, “So who has the recipe now?” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Elio shook his head, “Because Grandpa was afraid that others would threaten the successor, he never revealed who had the recipe. We can only guess, but if the person denies it, no one can verify it.”

What Élio said made Clara even more uneasy. Leah must have also known how to use the recipe.

Once she had it, Leah could do whatever she wanted.

“Forget it. Can we stop talking about Leah? Just hearing her name gives me a headache.”

Clara nodded, not daring to defy him. She needed to be compliant during this time and look for an opportunity to leave.

So no matter what Elio said, she would nod in agreement.

Clara and Elio took a stroll in the courtyard. Just as they were about to head back, they saw Nestor coming over with a cup of honey water.

“Ms. Calloway, Elio, have some of this. I specially prepared it for you.”

Elio didn’t hesitate. He picked it up and drank half of it right away.

Seeing him drink it, Clara felt awkward not to take it, so she took a small sip. It was indeed sweet, different from other honey, and it must be something very precious.
