Chapter 309 Obedient
sitting on the small couch, Sofla looked up as Emelie entered. Her eyes reflected a hint of discontent.
with all her years of experience in the workplace, Emelie remained unfazed by such a chilly reception “Mrs. Navarro, I’ve made some progress in identifying the actual culprit behind the poisoning 1 just need your confirmation. You.”
“Emelie, hold on a moment,” Elena interrupted, causing Emelie to pause.
Elena said softly, “Sofia, Tunderstand how difficult it is for you to see the children suffer. That’s why we must find the real culprit and ensure that they face the consequences for their actions. Don’t you agree?”
It was well past midnight. Sofia appeared visibly exhausted, and her eyes were red from staying up late. Yet, her mind refused to calm down until the culprit was identified. Finally, she nodded in agreement
Emelie started to speak, but Elena cut her off, “Willam, please go on.
Emelie found herself at a loss for words,
Just moments ago, in the downstairs living room, Elena had addressed him formally as “Mr. Middleton“. But now, she was addressing him by his first name.
Emelie glanced at William. They weren’t in the bedroom, but in the study. Since the room was filled with women, William had chosen not to enter and instead stood near the door.
At this late hour, weariness showed on everyone’s faces. However, William’s expression remained clear and composed.
Clad in a meticulously tailored suit, he stood tall and commanding exuding an air of elegance that made him seem unapproachable.
As William lifted his gaze, Emelie kept her eyes lowered, listening to his deep voice as he said, “The poisoner likely harbored a grudge against Mrs. Navarro. They had everything prepared and waited for the day of the one–month celebration before taking advantage of the chans with numerous guests in attendance!
Emelle felt a ripple of agreement in her heart. His thoughts aligned perfectly with hers, which wasn’t surprising given the straightforward nature of the matter.
Whatever she had thought of couldn’t possibly be overlooked by william.
He knew everything and had anticipated everything, but his willingness to speak or withhold information was another matter.
Willian remained indifferent toward her and was reluctant to even bestity. However, when Elena spoke, he listened attentively and complied. If she asked him to speak up, he would do so; and if she needed an analysis of the case, he would provide it
Hisobedience toward Elena was unwavering
Maria also noticed that William’s explanation mirrored Emelie’s thoughts. She couldn’t help but whisper, “Ms. Hoven, you’ve hit the nail on the head.”
Elena looked over at Emelie “You’ve figured all this out too? I guess I was just meddling unnecessarily. I was worried that you couldn’t handle it, so I persuaded William to help you.
Suddenly, Emelie understood the source of her imitation. She resented Elena’s subtle display of superiority. She was trying to demonstrate her ability to “command” William and make him obey
Emelie looked at Elena, who smiled faintly, her expression carrying a hidden meaning. Emeke realized that it was probably because she had gone to Lakeside villa with William, making Elena see her as a rival and rushing to assert her dominance.
Emelie had no interest in competing with her. If Elena insisted on a rivalry, then Emelie could offer her another way.
She spoke sincerely, “Ms. Allen, you’re truly kind–hearted. It’s clear why Mr. Middleton listens to you so attentively. Besides Ms. Bowen, I’ve never seen him treat any other woman with such regard ”
William frowned. “Why are you bringing sp Daphne?”
Emelie smiled. “Mr. Middleton, you still care so deeply about Ms. Bowen that we can’t even mention her name. Ms. Allen, you’ll have to keep working hard.”
Elena’s expression hardened as she finally tell silent.
As the head secretary, Emelle was skilled at managing challenges.
If Elena insisted on highlighting her special relationship with Wim, then she intended to demonstrate that Daphne was the truly significant figure the only woman that William would defend under any circumstances,
William appeared to grasp the silent competition between Emelie and Elena, and his gaze was intense as he observed her.
Emelie lowered her eyes. While she had lent Elena momentarily speechless, she didn’t feel entirely comfortable.
At that moment, Emelie simply wanted to resolve this matter quickly and leave the Navarro residence. She had no desire to be caught up in Elena’s schemes and manipulations All she wanted was to return home and rest, as she felt feverish and unwell
