Lace was obscured by her hair, and her head was wrapped inclothes to hide her face, Janelle recognized the outfit.
It was the same outfit Elena had worn when she had caused trouble at Swanson Corporation.
Emelia was surprised
She would never wish for Elena to encounter such an incident, especially an incident like that despite Elena’s baseless targeting and disturbances. Was it last nig Didn’t william say that Ashton was supposed to send Ellen out of Weston?
While they were ordering their food at the stew restaurant, Emelie had seen Ashton call William. She didn’t know what Ashton said, but William responded with jast three words, “As she wishes.”
Had the incident happened after that call?
Emelie’s eyelids twitched as a terrible gut feeling rose. She picked up her phone and texted Ashton
“Did something happen to Elena?”
Ashton only plied with a yes
Just as Emelle was about to probe, her phone rang with an incoming call from an unfamiliar number with a Weston city code

The call ended without revealing any details. Emelle assumed it was a routine inquiry.
Elena didn’t know many people in Weston, with Emelie being among the few Emelie didn’t find it surprising that they would reach out to her.
She reallocated her work and postponed non–urgent tasks to the next day before leaving on time to grab a cab to the police station.
After Emelle revealed her identity, she was led to an empty office where a male and female officer were waiting to interrogate her. “Ms. Hoven, are you friends with Ms. Allen?”
“I wouldn’t call us friends. We attended the same high school, but we lost touch over the years. We only recently reconnected,” Emelie answered straight to the point.
“Are there any grudges between the two of you?
Emelle frowned. “Why do you ask?”
The female officer cartly remarked, “According to the information we collected, she had a fight with you at negotiating. You were even docked your bonus because of it. Isn’t that a grudge?”
Emelie realized it wasn’t a casual inquiry from the words spoken.
