William gaxed at her thoughtfully as the elevator smoothly ascended to her ath–floor residence. When the doors tinged open, he carrier bet

Emelie wasn’t in the mood to question how he got her key at that moment. It wasn’t the first time she had seen his resourcefulness.
Will kicked the door shut with his ankle and entered her mom,
William gently placed alle on the couch. Dere her bands were free from the cocon–like blanket, she posted herself a glass of warm water and drank most of it. Just then, the doorbell rang, and William turned to answer.
shomly, he relmed with a food container inland.
It was likely prepared ahead of time for a delivery to be timed so perfectly.
Inside the food container was freshly made lobster bisque. The moment the lid came off, the rich aroma filled the air, tempting her appetite
William placed it in front of her and gave her a look that said, “Bon appetit.”
Emelle didn’t hesitate. She grabbed a disposable spoon and beganeating. She was truly famished
William’s gaze remained fixed outer while she buried herself in eating half the bowl. She couldn’t help but lift her head and ask, “Aren’t you going to eat, Middleton?”
“You smell unpleasant right now. It’s putting an off my appetite,” William replied flatly.
Emelie shrugged inwardly, deciding not to press further on his eating habits,
In truth, Emelie wasn’t sure it William believed her. The evidence seemed damning, and she had repeated her story to the police and lawyers countless times. Still, she belt compelled to explain once more. “I don’t know why any fingerprints are on the money. Thaven’t used cash in ages
William sat on the gray sofa with his legs crossed, observing her thoughtfully. He remembered seeing her with the two men by the roadside.
Just then, another flashback came into his mind “Did you touch their phones?” he asked.
Emelie paused briefly, then stood up suddenly, “Yes! They asked me for directions, and I helped them switch to walling mode on their map. Are you saying they tampered with the screen to get my fingerprint when I touched the phone?”
William didn’t say anything in response Instead, he mentioned, “Elena’s parents are already in Weston.”
Elena alone couldn’t manage to fabricate evidence, deny her ball, and pressure the police all at once. It was Elena’s parents behind at all. They were seeking justice for their daughter.
So now Emelie was up against the entire Allen family.
She glanced at William, who sat composed on the sofa.
She wanted to ask if he believed in her, but she hesitated. It didn’t feel necessary or appropriate.
Finally, she said, “Thank you for today, Mr. Middleton”
William looked up and replied bluntly, “Go take a shower.”
His comments made her self–conscious, and Emelie suddenly felt unclean all over. After finishing the lobster bisque, she entered her room
When she entered earlier, she hadn’t noticed that her belongings had clearly been searched. But now it seemed apparent it was likely the police conducting the
This was just her temporary residence with not much to search, so they were welcome to it
Emelle’s phone had been confiscated, but she had a spare. She quickly messaged Ashley to let her know that William had managed to get her released on bail
After washing up, she came out to find her phoaringing on the bed. It was Ashley calling.
She picked up and answered, “Ashley.”
“It’s good to know you’re out now,” Ashley said. i just spoke with the police. You’te under travel restrictions and can’t leave Weston Your need to be available Whenever they call”

“I just got posted. Several influencers are sharing it. They claimed you’re behind the harassment of Elena. We need to deal with this immediately. It it spreads, public opinion will turn against you more.”

without her needing to say anything, he had already given the orders.
William heard her voice and turned to see Emelie standing in the hallway.
After showering and washing her hair, she dressed in a white cotton nightgown with a square necdine, which elegantly revealed her collarbones and slender neck Perhaps due to exhaustion and a chaotic mood, she had forgotten to put on a bra.
