Chapter 256


    Even though it waste at night, Elio couldn’t catch a wink.


    He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking outside, his heart tied up in knots.


    What could ra be doing at this moment?


    Could she be cozying up to Emmett or looking after Alex?


    He couldn’t help but turn around, pick up his phone, and dial ra’s number, but the phone rang for a


    long time with no answer.


    Subconsciously, Elio hung up and opened his messages…


    But just as he typed the first letter, he deleted it.


    Deep down, he knew what ra would be doing at this moment, but he still clung to a sliver of pathetic


    hope. Maybe they were arguing, or maybe they were giving each other the cold shoulder!


    That way, he could swoop in and take Emmett’s ce by ra’s side.


    Suddenly, as Elio was lost in thought, his phone rang.


    He thought it was ra on instinct and answered immediately, “ra?”


    “Elio, are you with ra?”


    ”


    Elio stuttered.


    This wasn’t ra’s voice. It was Leah.


    “Or did you try to get in touch with ra, but she blew you off?” Leah chuckled, “If you’re feeling down,


    you can talk to me.”


    “Spit it out!” Elio frowned. Thest thing he wanted was to hear Leah’s voice.


    This woman was like a devil!


    She was constantly tormenting him, always stirring up trouble.


    “What’s with that attitude?” Leah’s voice was tinged with annoyance, “I’m not begging you to work with


    me! I told you before, if you don’t want to cooperate, just say it! I won’t push you.”


    “Have you been in contact with Taylor this whole time?” Quick as a whip, Elio made the connection,


    Leah softlyughed, “Yes. But with your attitude, I’m more and more convinced my decision to stay in


    touch with Taylor was the right one! Elio, haven’t you grasped the situation yet?”


    “I’ve told you I have other options!”


    Elio clenched his fists.


    He was rarely this angry!


    Don’t go too far! Leah, you should know what happens when someone is driven into a corner! You’ve


    pushed ra to her limit! Wouldn’t you be afraid of the bacsh?”


    “What do I have to be afraid of?” Leah snorted, “ra’s life and death have nothing to do with me; I


    couldn’t care less what happens to her! Besides, she’s the one who can’t untangle herself from Taylor;


    how else would I have the opportunity to make my move? Isn’t that right, Elio?”


    “What kind of twisted logic is that!”

    “I don’t care if it’s twisted or not; as long as it gets ra out of the way of Emmett, I’m willing to do


    anything.”


    “You’re making me speechless!” Elio clenched his fist, feeling a massive headache, “There are plenty


    of great guys in this world; why are you so hell-bent on Emmett!”


    “Why are you so hell-bent on ra? Elio, you could have any girl you want if you put your mind to it.


    Yet, you only have eyes for ra. She’s had a child with another man; she’s not particrly good-


    looking and has no special talents or background. Why don’t you find someone else to like? That way,


    you wouldn’t be affected by any of this?”
