Chapter 390 Picked on Her
Emelie said nothing.
Charles paused for a little and asked her in a gender tone, “Are you angry?””
Not exactly
Emelie had been waiting for Charles to ask her about this.
She knew he would eventually make the request
Elena was his cousin, and they had a good relationship. It would be strange if he didn’t help her instead.
Emelie chuckled. “I’m just thinking that there’s such a difference between the offers. Trom 500 thousand dollars to ten million dollars.”
That was 20 fold
Charles chuckled. “I know you asked my uncle about the 50 million dollars.”
He was being honest as he continued, “That 50 million dollars won’t for Mr. Middleton himself, it was for their future son–in–law. My uncle and aunt want a marriage between their family and the Middleton family.
“If that works out, then the money will become an asset shared between husband and wife. That 50 million dollars was not a payment, but an investment”
Emelie finally realized what was happening
If William really took that 50 million dollars, it meant that she was only worth that much to William. Not only would they be able to act against Emelie with little imponity, I could even have achance to stay with Willam
It was killing two birds with one stone.
Charles poured a cup of lemon tea for her and said. “They love Elena a lot of Elena really goes to petson, they will act against you with all abandon. I’m not threatening you, of course. I’ll stop them if rever find out they’re planning something
“I don’t want to admit it, but William will most likely help you as well. But don’t think you’ll ever be safe. No one can be on their guard forever. “You’ll have to return to your normal life eventually and you can’t stay at home or be surrounded by multiple bodyguards all the time.”
Emelle listened to him quietly, not reacting to anything he was saying.

“There are going to be moments where you’ll be alone, and they’ll wtually get through to you. In if not in mortal danger, it won’t do you any good if you suffer any sort of injury.
“What I’m trying to say is, rather than make enemies, why not make peace?!
Despite Charles always acting like an unruly, shameless man, from the way he told her about how relationships were important in the world of adults, she knew he was also a clear -headed strategist
What he said made sense.
He was even being very considerate. “We can even have the transfer notarized, saying that I’m giving it to you with my own free will. I won’t expose you to the danger of being
for blackmailing, with you taking a step back, William’s protection, and my warning, the Allens won’t ever touch you again.
“We can end it all. What do you think?”
Emele said slowly, “I believe that you’re being sincere by telling me all this, but allow me to reuse.”
Charles was stormed. He didn’t expect her to reject it with no hint of hesitation:
Emelie asked him with a frown and in a very confused tone, “I’m the victim. I don’t understand why I can’t find the justice that’s owed to me through the justice system. All wot is fair judgment. How is this my fat?
Charles then said, “You’re not at fault, it’s just…”
“refuse to settle because it’s not my fault 1 won’t accept it, no matter how much money you offer me,” Emelie said, making sure that she said every single word clearly. “All I want is justice.”
Her toe wasn’t threatening and she wasn’t out of control, but every single word she uttered was filled with strength. There was no room for negotiation
Charles could see the decisiveness in her eyes. He shrugged and didn’t force it. “I’ll do my best to speak to my uncle and at about you!”
However, Emelie knew he was just being polite. She wouldn’t force him to choose between her and his family either.
At the end of the day, everyone had their own biases. They would lean toward the ones that they cared for and loved the most.
The other side meant little.
Charles picked up a call something urgent seemed to have happened. He apologized for not being able to send her back to the hotel.
Enele cared little and politely said, “Goodbye”
After seeing him off, she walked back to the hotel.
It wasn’t too far.
streets. She could feel her weight crushing the snow a
The road that was layered with black bricks was covered with a thin layer of snow as the first snow of the year fell span the str she walked on it, and she could also feel the scent of frost in the air.
Emelie’s hands were in her pockets as she deliberately stepped on the snow with her head hung low.
She liked to step on the snow as a form of play since she was little. No matter how bad her mood was, she would always feel much better after that.
She walked past the same patch of snow under the streetlight again and again until the snow was completely gone,
However, the malized she was still unhappy this time around
She shipped and looked at the shadow by her feet that had been “cut” into a million pieces.
500 thousand dollars, three million dollars, ten million dollars… The Allens simply wanted to get rid of her using money. They never wanted to apologize. A happened, they didn’t even say sorry.
Look my way, my angel Look at me…
Despite looking like he loved her, William still protected Daphne in the end. When he noticed that she was going to confront Daphne, he instantly sent her
His feelings and desires for her were made up.
They were all fake.
All those bastards did was pick on her.
