Chapter 333 Claiming What’s Hers
After the dinner, Emelie left Lovelight with the Swansons together with William and his team.
Reading the room, her colleagues quickly said, “Ms. Hoven, we need to catch the subway, so we’ll make a move now,”
Emelle nodded. “Alright, be careful on your way home. See you at the office tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow,‘
Once the three had left, Ashton brought William’s car around
Just as the bodyguard was about to open the car door for William, Emelie walked over and opened it instead. She called out, “Mr. Middleton.”
When she was working at Cloudex Corporation, she would always open the car door for William whenever they went out, exactly like what she just did.
William looked at her, his eyes dark and deep.
Recalling what Emelie had said in the restroom, Elena tightened her grip on William’s coat. However, William kept his gaze fixed on Emellie. Elena bit her lip. She ran up to them and squeezed Emelie aside.
*Ms. Hoven, why didn’t you leave with your colleagues? Lf you need to take a cab, you should hall one quickly. It’s getting late, and it won’t be safe.”
Emelie replied politely, “Mr. Middleton, we’re staying at the same hotel. Do you mind giving me a ride?
Elena quickly turned to William “William, you haven’t been sleeping well at that hotel. Why don’t you stay at Sheldon Suites with me tonight? You..”
“I didn’t bring my luggage with me.” His intention was clear. He wasn’t going with her.
William glanced at one of his bodyguards. “You take Ms. Allen to Sheldon Suites.”
The bodyguard responded, “Ms. Allen, please.”
Elena knew all too well that if she made a scene now, she wouldn’t be able to take William with her and would only make him resent her more.
She stopped biting her lip and maintained a composed smile. “Alright, go back and pack your things. I’ll come by the hotel tomorrow morning, and we can have breakfast together.
William did not respond.
Elena left with the bodyguard. But as she passed by Emelle, she shot her a sharp look
Finally, she revealed her true colors.
Emelie remained unfazed.
With his hands in his pockets, William walked to the car door and looked at Emelie with a mix of amusement and mockery. “What’s going on? Why are you volunteering to get into my car?
Emelie glanced at the security cameras at the entrance of Lovelight. “There’s surveillance everywhere. If I get into your car in broad daylight and something happens to me, you’ll be the first person the police come to.”
William entered the car and looked up at her indifferently. “Do you think I would kill you and dump your body?” He thought Emelie was being ridiculous
As Emelle was about to close the door, William suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside.
Caught off guard, she fell into his lap.
William then reached out and closed the door.
Ashton quickly raised the partition from the front seat,
Emelie couldn’t struggle.
Pressing against his chest to steady herself, Emelie calmly said, “Mr. Middleton, it is a rule for people in Weston to put on their seat belts in the back seat as well.”
William looked down at her pale neck, his voice dropping slightly. “Do they have any rules to deal with exploiters?”
Obviously, he knew that Emelie intentionally wanted to provoke Elena earlier.
Emelie avoided his face, which were inches away from hers. You must be joking, Mr. Middleton. There’s no such rule.”
Willion seemed amused. It was as if he found her behavior entertaining, “Yesterday, you heard me saying I have nothing to do with Elena. Today, you’re taking me from her. Ms. Hoven, are you claiming what’s yours?”
