Genuinely Disgusted 

Both Elle and William hurned around in unison. 

Charles, clad in a sult, approached them. “just came to visit a friend at the hospital. What are the odds of running into you two?” 

Whether this truly was a coincidence or Charles was keeping tabs on them, william couldn’t be bothered to investigate, “Mr. Davis, you haven’t left Capehabt City yet? Don’t you have a company to run?” 

Charles smiled. “Actually, I’m returning to Calmerest tomorrow. That’s why I said it was a coincidence that I bumped into both of you right before I left How about we have dinner together? 

Have you two eaten yet? 

Ever since Emelle knew that Charles played a role in her father’s death, she couldn’t look at him with the same warmth she once had back in Weston. Her gaze was cold. 

ckin We 

Charles naturally picked up on the hostly in her eyes, 

He let out achuckle. “Why are you looking at me like that, Ms. Hoven? Is it because of Edward’s sukide?” © - All rights reserved.

He glanced at their hands which were clasped together. “You forgave Mr. Middleton, so why can’t you forgive me as well? I didn’t mean to, you know” 

was Charles implying that, since Emelie could still forgive William even though what he did was far worse, she couldn’t also forgive him too? 

She was brought back to the time when she had just arrived at Hillcrest Tower and saw her father’s blood on the ground 

Her face turned pale, and

she yanked her hand back from William’s grasp as it struck by a bolt of lightning. She was trembling slightly. 

When William reached out to take her hand again, she pursed her lips tightly together and shot daggers at him 

“Don’t you dare touch me” thespat. 

William’s hand froze in mid-air 

Charles rinsed an eyebrow. “What’s this? is Ms. Hoven upset with Mr. Middleton too? That’s a shame. He seems like such a good man, even bringing you to visit Mrs. Hoven.” 

William’s gaze flickered toward Emelje, his expression was unreadable. 

He said to Charles, “She’s not in a good mood after seeing Mrs. Hoven in her current state in the ICU. Don’t take it personally, Mr. Davis.” 

Charles pretended to be enlightened. “Considering that Ms. Hoven is pregnant, it’s only natural for her to be more emotional than usual. That’s the more reason to have a good meal, it’ll lift her spirits. Shall we have dinner at the Westward Club, Mr. Middleton? 

William didn’t object 

“Very well,” he agreed. 

“Great. See you at the Westward Club, Charles said before taking his car and leaving 

William glanced at the side of the road, where a black car was parked and had been tailing them discreetly. It left immediately. 

A hint of anger appeared in William’s eyes, but he suppressed his emotions as he turned back to Ernelle. 

He gently coaxed her. “Angel” 

Emelie looked away. The hatred that had been stirred within her burned fiercelyand couldn’t be doused. 

It was all William, Charles, and the four families‘ doing. They worked together to cause the deaths of both her fathers. Two fathers, gone just like that. 

A cool night breeze ruffled Emelie’s hair as they stood on the sidewalk, her expression was cold 

After a long while, Emelie seemed to have calmed down a little. That was when William finally spoke. “I’m going to say it one more time. I didn’t force Edward. His suicide wasn’t part of the plan.” 

Emelie scoffed. She didn’t even want to argue with him. She simply opened the car door and got out of the car. 

He got our of the car, leaned on the car door, and bent down, “I know you hate Charles, but you have to come to dinner with me. The show we are going to put on tonight is crucial As the pregnant Mrs. Middleton, do you know what you should do later? 

Emelie glanced at him coldly. “Why should I cooperate with you?” 

William saw a chance to negotiate. “I can promise you one more thing” 

“Two things,” Emelie countered. 

“One” William said. 

“Three things.” Emelie didn’t back down. 

Willian was both exasperated and amused. “Are you trying to hike the price up again? 

Emelie replied, “Yes. If you keep negotiating with me, it’ll be four things next” 

William got in the cat as well. “Just two things. Don’t push your luck, Mrs. Middleton 

Besides, she had given the password to the ICU to Wesley, so Greta’s rescue was imminent. By then, she would use these promises and ask William to let her stroll around outside. Dore she was out of Eastbay, escape would be easy 

They went into a private room at the Westward Club 

Chades had ordered dishes that had a strong smell, like fish and prawn. He seemed to be testing il Emelie was pregnant or not 

The mometa the dishes were placed on the table, finelie felt n museated due to the smell. She wasn’t acting, she was genumely disgusted.
