Chapter 387 Look My Way
Emelie calmly said, “I believe that after this, she will think twice before doing anything so that she won’t get into even worse trouble.”
Lindsey walked around the table and almost grabbed Emelie. “You have no right to speak about my daughter! Think this through! If my daughter really goes to prison, we’ll never Borghe you!”
Ashley quickly stopped Lindsey and said in a stem voice, “Are you threatening my ellent, Mrs. Allen?”
“We are simply straightening things out so that you both know what’s coming! Ms. Hoven, you didn’t suffer any permanent harm, anyway. Isn’t it better for you to just take the money and renam to your everyday hire? Why are you taking this so far?”
Jeremiah smiled icily and said, “You already mentioned how your information was already leaked to the internet. Netizens can sometimes act quite extremely, don’t you think? I’m sure you don’t want you and your family to live in fear forever?”
Emelle knew that was a warning. She stood up and said, “You wouldn’t.”
Lindsey then said, “Why don’t you try us?
However, what came after her words was a man’s crisp voke. “Very well. I’m interested to see if you would, too.”
Emelie couldn’t help but purse her lips.
As soon as William appeared, both Jeremiah and Lindsey’s faces instantly turned pale despite their aggression carber.
They had taken time to investigate and make sure that William was in Capebatt City. Why was he in Weston suddenly?
William scanned their faces and asked, “What are you up to?”
With William there, they weren’t bold enough to attempt anything
Lindsey couldn’t hold her tongue and said, “Elena has loved you for almost ten
ten years, William. She spent all her youth on you, but you choose to hurt her for another woman in return? Did you ever think about how painful this is for her?”
William found her statement interesting as he smiled, which made him look even more dashing. “She loved me for ten years, so I must love her in return? Must I reciprocate her love? There are so many people in this world who love me. Should I reciprocate each and every one of them?
“The only word I can use to describe such a self–fulfilling love is ‘cheap‘. And it just so happens that I don’t like cheap things.”
Not only did the words entage Jeremiah and Lindsey, they also affected Emelie equally
For the past three years, she had also been in a one–sided relationship with him. Was that a self–fulfilling love as well?
So that was how William saw her in those three years.
No wonder he could ignore her feelings even now, just for Daphine’s sake
She was already branded as cheap. That was why he was so used to ignoring her.
Not only was she metaphorically slapped in the face, Emelie could feel her face getting physically warm. In reality, however, her face was getting pale.
In the end, Jeremiah and Lindsey left in a rage. Ashley gave it a thought and felt that Emelie and William needed to have a private moment. She said to Emelie, “I’ll go get the car.”
Emelie didn’t talk to William and simply said, “1‘ go with you.”
When she walked past William, he grabbed her by the arm.
He wasn’t as aloof compared to when the Allens were present. He lowered his head and said, “Don’t worry about their threats. I won’t let them touch you” Emelie didn’t even look at him as she pulled her arm free. “The law and the police won’t let them touch me either”
It was very rare for someone to talk back to William like that.
Ashley scratched her nose and excused herself.
The person outside also closed the door, leaving only the two of them inside the room
Emelie didn’t try to get free after being caught. She simply looked in the direction of the entrance, her eyes filled with calm. William was still using a soothing tone as he said, “Won’t you look my way, angel?”
