Two Times the Charm

Chapter 326

If Emmett found Clara, Leah would be pissed.

At that moment, his parents were still under her thumb, so he didn’t dare to make a move. He could only let Clara bear the brunt.

“Mr. Melendez, we’ve found Elio’s location. He’s at this hotel.” Matt sent the location to Emmett.

Emmett didn’t have time to think twice, and he immediately hit the road. But when he got to the hotel, it was closed.

He was puzzled and walked in.

The receptionist greeted him politely, “Hello, sir. Our hotel is not in business today.”

“Why?” Emmett asked.

“I’m not sure, sir. That’s what the management told us. They didn’t give a specific reason. I’m sorry.” The receptionist replied.

Emmett knew something was fishy. He immediately asked Matt to track down the hotel’s management.

In less than half an hour, the hotel’s manager drove over in a flurry.

Seeing Emmett, he immediately nodded and bowed, grinning from ear to ear.

“I had no idea Mr. Melendez would be coming today. My apologies. I have other hotels, and I can arrange for you to stay there if that’s OK?”

Emmett raised an eyebrow, “Why can’t I stay here? Why is this hotel closed?”

“We’re not actually closed,” the manager explained, “Someone booked all the rooms, so we don’t have any available for other guests. I kept the receptionist on duty in case the guest who booked the hotel had any requests.”

Seeing Emmett silent, the manager nervously asked, “If you don’t want to stay at another hotel, I can negotiate with the guest and see if they can spare a room for you.”

Emmett frowned, “Can you bring that person out to meet me?”

The manager was taken aback, “I can’t decide that, but I can ask for you, see if they’re willing to meet.”

Before he could finish, a black car pulled up at the entrance, and a man got out.

Emmett looked over, and it was Taylor Atwood.

Clearly, Taylor was surprised to see Emmett, “What are you doing here?”

Emmett frowned, “I was about to ask you the same thing. Is Clara’s disappearance anything to do with you?”

Taylor said, “I was invited here. You didn’t set me up, did you?”

Emmett quickly realized, “Looks like someone wants to frame you.”

Taylor raised an eyebrow, “Frame me? Do you mean that news? Emmett, let me tell you, even though I don’t want you and Clara together, I believe in Clara’s character!” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Emmett was silent for a moment, not wanting to waste more time with Taylor. All he wanted was to find Clara.

*Clara would never do such a thing; I’m sure she was set up. The guy in the news, I think he’s just doing this because he can’t get her love!”

Emmett glanced at him, not bothering to argue further, and turned his attention to the hotel manager.

The manager immediately took out his phone but couldn’t get through to the other party.

Emmett clenched his fists and called Matt, “Send people to search the entire hotel, every nook and cranny, leave no stone unturned!”

“Yes, Mr. Melendez.”

Hearing this, the manager realized the gravity of the situation, “Mr. Melendez, what’s going on? Just tell me straight. Let’s see if I can lend a hand…
