Chapter 16 Emelle Resigns It was only at this moment that Emelle looked directly at William, saying, "This was just fulfilling our bet Everyone here, Including yourself, Mr. Middleton, are all my witnesses.

I'm simply executing the outcof that wager. Do you find fault with my actions, Mr. Middleton? Where did I go wrong?" Emelie's usually calm demeanor vanished. Now, bristling with defensiveness, she resembled a hedgehog with its spines all prickled up.

This sudden transformation left William feeling like he was looking at a stranger.

"She accused and tried to frme. It's conceivable she was the one who tampered with the rope to setup. Without solid proof, based solely on her accusations and your biased defense, Mr. Middleton, I would've been vilified, perhaps even accused of committing suicide out of guilt. Why should I tolerate such unfairness? And why shouldn't I seek justice?" Emelie's retort was forceful, her gaze locked with William's, unwavering and dignified.

"What if Mr. Smith had suffered severe injuries, demanding accountability without leniency? Would I then be expected to apologize, compensate, or even face legal repercussions? It was merely a slap, and I already spared her much." This was a side of Emelie that William had never witnessed. He remembered her as someone who always. endured, never asserting herself.

Daphne was sobbing on the bed. She lifted her head upon hearing that. She defiantly declared, "Yes, I confess to slandering you, and I deserved that slap! However, I only stretched the truth.

"I never interfered with the rope, and the video lacks any evidence ofdoing so. Isn't your accusation againstnow based on speculation? How is what you're doing any different from my actions?" Emelie looked at her. Daphne wasn't as naïve as she had assumed, managing a counterattack worthy of someone who could influence William.

With tears streaming down her face, Daphne pleaded, "I was just jealous of you being so close to Mr. Middleton, which ledto impulsively say those things. Mr. Middleton, I'm sorry.

"I realize my mistake. I shouldn't have been so petty, thinking if you weren't so perfect, maybe he wouldn't like you as much, and he might notice me. I know such thoughts are despicable. You were with Mr. Middleton first, and I'm the intruder-" William interjected, "You're not." Emelie couldn't even muster the desire to smile.

William wasn't just accepting Daphne's explanation; he believed her completely, treasuring her honesty. Indeed, she wasn't the intruder. The true intruders were those unloved, and that position belonged to Emelie William turned his attention back to Emelle However, his expression was hard to read athers anduol You've done enough.

Emelle mustered all her strength to break free from his grip as if breaking away from the constraints he had placed on her for three years.

She had had enough of it all.

Emelie took a deep breath and lifted her head as she announced, "Mr. Middleton, my employment contract with Cloudex Corporation is up in a month. I'll send a written resignation to the HR department and your email, I'll leave when the contract ends." Indeed, it was tfor her to resign.

The decision caught everyone off guard, silencing even Daphne, who had been crying. She was the victim, and she shouldn't have been the one to leave!

"This injury occurred on the job. I will obtain documentation-from the hospital to apply for leave and workers compensation. I won't be able to work for the rest of the month."

Overwhelmed by betrayal, neglect, favoritism, dismissal, skepticism and mistrust, Emelie reached her limit, finding no justification to continue enduring. She desired to avoid seeing him, even in this final month!
