Chapter 304
Clara let out a sigh, “Being a CEO is no walk in the park!”
“Of course, there’s a ton of stuff to deal with every single day!”
She sat down, glancing at her design draft, “If you’re not busy, I’m gonna go chat with the design director about
this.”
“Oh, no worries, I’m good. You go ahead.”
Ricardo watched Clara leave, then quickly ducked into a corner to shoot a message to the CEO.
[Boss, chill, Clara didn’t react to Taylor at all. She doesn’t seem to give a damn about it.]
A few seconds later, Emmett replied with a simple okay.

causing the shareholders in the room to breathe a sigh
of relief.
After all, a smiling CEO usually meant no major issues. If he was all serious, then they might be in for some trouble.
Once Leah got back to the office, the first thing she did was call for Elio.
After a while…
Elio slowly pushed open her office door, “What’s up?”
“It’s about Clara, of course. She came to see me earlier. Looks like my plan might need to be moved up. Any news
on your end? If not…I might have to start playing matchmaker with her and Taylor.”
Elio frowned, slamming his hand on the table, “Are you still trying to set her up with Taylor? Leah, watch it! I have
my limit. If you mess with him, you’re gonna get it too! Even if you do marry Emmett, I won’t let you off the hook!”
Leah stood up, grinning at him, “Easy there, tiger. I’m just trying to give you a chance here. You still have time to
win Clara over before my plan kicks in. Just speed things up a bit. We all win, right? Don’t act like I’m forcing you
into this. By the way, if you do end up with Clara, you can thank me for that.”
Elio snorted, “I know exactly what you’re up to! I’m just warning you, Clara is the love of my life. If you mess with
her, you’ll answer to me!”
Leah patted his shoulder, chuckling, “Why are you doing this? We’re cousins, and we share the same blood. Is it
worth it to fight over Clara?”
“Hell yeah, it is!”
Leah looked at him helplessly, “I tried to talk you out of it, you know. Maybe you should let Clara go. She’s a mother

“That’s not for you to decide.”
“If you could just let go, things would be so much easier. I wouldn’t have to worry about your feelings!”
Elio gritted his teeth, clenching his fists. If the person in front of him wasn’t a woman, he would’ve punched her
already.
Leah, of course, noticed his anger, but she wasn’t bothered.
Because he wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on her now!
“Honestly, I still don’t get what you guys see in Clara… She’s average-looking and has average skills. At best, she’s
kind-hearted. But what’s the use of that in this world?”
“You wouldn’t understand, you sneaky woman!”
Leah shrugged, “I don’t bother trying to understand. We’re all living in this world, chasing after our own dreams.
Maybe Clara’s dream is to… live a guilt-free life while I’m after fame, wealth, and powerful men. He has to be the
top dog!”
