Chapter 268
“I’ve already used it, and it’s great! I’ve told Mr. Melendez that if you can keep bringing this kind of quality, we might just be in for the long haul. After all, she’s one of your friends; why not do business with her?”
“Here, don’t call me Mrs. Melendez! It’d be bad if someone heard.” Clara didn’t want too many people to know her identity.
They might think she’s just after Emmett’s money or that she’s not fit to stand by his side. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Even though that was true, she didn’t want to be the talk of the town.
“Alright, I’ll watch it next time!” Ricardo chuckled, squinting his eyes. “By the way, have you ever had a beef with the Quintin Group?”
“The Quintin Group? Don’t know them from Adam!”
“That’s weird; the main source of this batch of wood came from the Quintin Group’s port! Their port usually only serves them, so this wood should be theirs too! Are you sure you don’t know them?”
Clara was taken aback. Leah hadn’t mentioned that the wood was from the Quintin Group; She just asked her to help make contact.
“I’m in the dark here! A friend asked for help, and I said yes.”
“So your friend’s not from the Quintin Group?”

Clara shook her head. “No, but what she’s got going on with the Quintin Group behind the scenes, I wouldn’t know.”
All she knew was that Leah was Elio’s relative, and her work was probably related to the Milburn family.
But it never crossed her mind why someone in the medical field would have wood to sell. Ricardo’s question threw her for a loop.
“Is there a problem?” Clara asked cautiously, “If there’s something wrong with the wood, I can get my friend to handle it! Don’t hold back just because she’s my friend.”
“No, no! The wood is surprisingly good.” Ricardo paused. “Mr. Melendez thinks, with the quality of this wood, it should sell like hotcakes! Why do they need you to play middleman?”
“Well, maybe they just want to work with the Melendez Group!”
“We’ve considered that! But the Quintin Group’s recent moves seem to involve you! They even reached out to Taylor.”
Ricardo glanced at her and said, “This Mr. Atwood… he’s not going to cause you trouble, is he?”
“No way! Maybe it’s all a coincidence! Tell Emmett not to worry so much! He’s done enough for me; don’t waste more time! I have no beef with the Quintin Group; they won’t target me! Before joining the Melendez Group, I had no enemies, and not many people knew about me and Emmett.”
“Alright, I’ll relay your words to Mr. Melendez.”
“Let’s go! I’ve said my piece! Mr. Melendez’s meeting should be over by now.”
Ricardo nodded and said, “Okay.”
Clara got in the car, and Ricardo drove her towards downtown.
She glanced out the window.
Suddenly, she saw two familiar figures!
It was Sophia Melendez and Leah! Why were they together?
Clara quickly looked again, but they were gone.
She rubbed her eyes, making sure no one was there.
Did she see something wrong?
