Chapter 262 High School First Love
Elena pressed her Eps together and stood up. “Wait for me a moment, Charles,”
She quickly left the private room.
William needed to return to the office, and Emelle had to visit Greta in the hospital.
They parted ways at the bistro entrance. Emelie said, as a formally, “Mr. Middleton, I’ll be going now!!
William glanced at her. “Did you report Charles for smoking indoors?”
Emelie kept a straight face. “Mr. Middleton, I didn’L”
Witam didn’t believe her. He smirked and said, “I never said you did the wrong thing.”
rmele won’t foolish enough to admit it just because he said so. The only person she could fully trust in this world was herself. Anyone else might betray her at any time.
“Mr. Middleton, I really didn’t.”
William was too tired to continue this circular conversation. He grasped her chin, his eyelids drooping slightly as he looked at her face.
“From now on, don’t be so obedient to anyone else except for me just because they tell you to do something, doesn’t mean you have to. Are they paying your salary?”
Emelie pressed her lips together. “Understood.”
William continued, “After visiting Mrs. Hoven, come back early to pack your bags. You’re coming with me to the Lakeside Villa this weekend.”
Emelie opened her mouth to speak, but he shook her chin gently. “Or do you want to continue our discussion about the perfection of parents?” There was no point in discussing that topic farther. It only made him angry, caused her trouble, and delayed her visit to Greta.
In the end, she would still have to go to the Lakeside Villa with him Henever changed his decisions.
Emelie could only say, “I understand.”
After hearing her response, Willam released her. Emelle got into atexi
The valet brought William’s car over. As he was about to get in, a female voice called out from behind, “Mr. Middleton.”
Willam humed around to see Elena “Ma. Allen, is there something you want to say?”
Elena approached him gracefully, her amber eyes gazing at him with a hint of seriousness. “Mr. Middleton, do you really not remember me at all?”
Willam squinted slightly. When he had first seen her by the lake, he had felt a vague sense of familiarity. But since he couldn’t recall where he had seen her before, he had assumed that she wasn’t important and didn’t pay much attention.
Now, with her words, it seemed that they did know each other. Considering Charles‘ prestige, William inquired, “Ms. Allen, who might you be?
Elena smiled, though it carried a hint of self–mockery. She said it with grace, adding a touch of understanding to her words.
“It seems the stories are all Bes. They say good men ever forget their first love, right? Even though our time together was in high school.
“Mr. Middleton, you’ve forgotten me so thoroughly. I’m a little sad about it‘
High school?
He furrowed his brow for a moment. Then, he finally remembered and said, “It’s you!”
Emelle arrived at the hospital and briskywalked toward the main building.
Capebatt City was neither too big or too small it was considered large due to its total size of 2510 square miles. However, it was considered small as there were two and a half million people living there.
Somehow, this had led her to bump into Daphne, who was sitting in a wheelchair in the lobby.
Emelie had initially intended to walk past her and pretend that she hadn’t seen her. But Daphine spotted her and called out, “Emelie!”
Emele didn’t stop in her tracks. Daphne straightened up and continued, “Emelie, are you feeling guilty?”
“You sent my photo to Mr. Middleton. You even tried to drive a wedge between us and then take advantage of the situation to get close to him in Wimstour City. You know you owe me, so now you don’t dare to face me, right?
Every word she uttered disgusted Emelie.
Emelie had to halt her steps and turn to face her.
If this was psychological warfare, it was indeed effective. At least Emelie was acknowledging her now.
She approached her again. “Yes I did send your photos to William. Compared to your spreading photos of my friend everywhere and fabricating rumors to slander her. I merely sent a few old photos of you to William, isn’t that outrageous?”
Behind Daphne, the middle–aged woman pushed the wheelchair and chuckled coldly. “So, you’re Emelie Do you think your btle tricks are effective?”
Emelle looked up at her. The middle–aged woman’s features bore some resemblance to Daphine’s. She was probably her mother, Olivia Lewis,
Olivia was dressed in professional attire. She excused the demeanor of a businesswoman. She said assertively, “Even if you’re scheming behind Daphne and Will’s relationship, they’ve reconciled now!”
“Even if you shamelessly entered Middletone Residence, he still rushed to the scene of Daphne’s accident with just one phone call. He stored things out for her, took her to the hospital for treatment, and even stayed by her side all night”
“in his heart, the most important person has always been Daphine. You’re just a fool!”
