Chapter 533 Under His Nose
William looked at Charles.
“If Ms. Hoven ends up in prison, she won’t be able to have any chances. Even making it out alive will be a matter of luck,” Charles seld with a smile.
That way, Charles would stay clear of any trouble.
William’s paze was as cold as ice and as unyielding as a winter frost.
“The evidence of Emelie’s crime?” he asked.
Charles replied, “I don’t know the detalls, but it sounded pretty real when he mentioned it. You might want to ask Ms. Howen if she’s done anything shady in the past she might’ve left traces that could give someone leverige!!
William’s demeanor subtly shifted to a darker tone.
As Emelle returned to the suite, the waiter had laid out a table of delicious food. They stayed and dined late into the night.
while they left the Westward Club, Charles discreetly approached Emelie from behind. He then slipped a stiff, card–like object into her hand
Emelle instinctively looked down. However, the lights in the Westward club’s hallway were dim with warm lights. It made it hard for Emelie to see what it was.
She frowned and looked up at Charles.
with his hands in his pockets, Charles grinned and said, “Consider this an apology gift. I didn’t mean it earlier.”
William suddenly turned around to where they were.
In a sleight of hand move, Charles suddenly held a diamond bracelet in his hand. “Twanted to give this bracelet to Ms. Hoven as an apology, but she declined it. Please accept it on her behalf, Mr. Middleton. Think of it as a token of my goodwill”
William glanced at it and added, “Emelie doesn’t need this type of stuff. You should keep it for your girlfriend, Mr. Davis, ”
“The girl wanted is now married with a child. I’m afraid I’m not getting over this heartbreak anytime soon. Since Ms. Hoven doesn’t want it, I’ll just throw it away,” Charles said. He was as indifferent as ever. Without a second thought, he tossed the bracelet into the trash bin without even blinking
If Charles was lying to William, it meant the card had something Willam shouldn’t see, and she was eager to find out what it was.
After the pair lett the Westward Club and went back to Eastbay, Charles lingered at the entrance and started chewing some gum since he had quit smoking. Since Emelie reported him for indoor smoking to the police, he stopped using cigarettes
Charles nonchalantly chewed the gum. Suddenly, his phone can, and he picked up the call. It was his contact from the hospital.
“Mr. Davis The woman in the DC has woken up the person said.
Charles’s eyes narrowed instanthe
“Are you sure?” heasked
“It’s true! I saw her wake up with my own eyes. I’m sure of it! But the ICU door is locked, and it needs a passcode. If we force our way in, it will definitely alert William,” the person faid
So, the real question was did Willam know that drets had woken up?
His men had been monitoring Greta’s condition. It was impossible for them to be unaware, right? However, Willians had never mentioned a word about it.
Was hecovering for Greta? Or was he planning to use the account book to control the Davis, Swanson, and Collins families?
Charles recalled a few years back when a game called “Among Us” was all the rage. Was William shifting from a “crewmate” in a dangerous situation to an “imposter” who sabotages them?
charles might be willing to let Emele slide, However, he couldn’t ignore Greta, who possessed the account book.
He spat our ther He needed to discuss this with Beathan and take on the best way to clear things up
Later, Emelle returned to Eastbay. While William went to his study to get something, she quickly slipped into the bathroom.
She retrieved the stiff card Charles had given her.
It turned out to be a DVD. However, there were no labels on the DVD Emelie had no idea what was on it
Emelie frowned and put it away, planning to finda DVD player later to check it out.
After she washed her hands, Emelie calmly emerged from the bathroom. In just a few hours, Emelie had figured out the passcode, coordinated with the nurse, and even got an tem from Charles. She did it all under William’s nose,
In the midst of the hustle, Emelie had no time to feel nervous. But as she reflected on the events, her heart started to race like a drum.
“What are you thinking about?” William’s voice cut through her thoughts.
Emelie’s breath stilled for an instant. She walked past him with a blank expression, litted the covers, and climbed into bed.
William was unbothered by her coldness.
