Chapter 358 Her Only Hope William didn't comment on Elena's attempted suicide. He simply observed Emelle, who was dressed neatly. "Are you still going to work?" he asked.
Emelie looked at him and inquired, "Are you going to meet Elena's parents? What will you talk about?" She couldn't help but wonder if William had returned to his room last night or if he had indeed sat in her living room the entire night.
He often wore a black shirt and black trousers, so it was hard to tell if he had changed or not, but his expression showed no signs of fatigue. His dark eyes remained as deep and sharp as ever.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Are you just curious or are you afraid I'll be swayed by Elena's parents?” he asked in return Emelie pursed her lips. It was definitely the latter.
Since Elena's parents had requested to meet him, they must have known that he was protecting her. They must have prepared generous terms to convince him to hand her over to them. Emelie wondered if William would agree to their terms If he did, no one would be able to protect her anymore. He was her only hope.
As these thoughts raced through her mind, Emelie felt a tingling sensation in her scalp, as if she had been struck by lightning. Her thoughts were in turmoil. Did She was taken aback by how she had truly considered him her hope.
Emelie felt that her own changing mindset was more frightening than Elena and the Allens combined.
She had never before placed her hope in anyone else. She relied solely on herself and trusted only herself.
Yet now, she found herself depending on William. Emelie bit her lip, grabbed her bag from the sofa, and hastily fled. "I'm off to work!" she said. She didn't dare to be around William anymore.
William smiled as he watched her leave.
The icy facade he had meticulously maintained was starting to crack after repeated knocks from within.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAshton asked, "Mr. Middleton, should I agree to the Allens meeting?- Glancing at his watch, William teplied, "I have 20 minutes for breakfast." Ashton understood what he meant. "Okay, I'll reply to them and arrange for them to cover soon." Ashton fetched William abrealdast consisting of mushroom soup and a few fruits in the hotel's buffet restaurant. William wasn't fond of Wester-style breakfasts; he used to prefer soup in the moming. He politely asked, "Mr. Allen, Mrs. Allen, won't you have something?" Across the table sat Elena's parents.
Elena's mother, Lindsey Jones, dabbed at her tears with a handkerchief and said, "William, when Elena saw her photos online last night, she was devastated. She's still undergoing treatment in the hospital, and the shock drove her to the rooftop. If the nurse hadn't intervened, it could've been disastrous!" She sobbed and continued, "thave only one daughter. If something were to happen to her, I wouldn't be able to bear it." William replied calmly, "I ensured those photos were suppressed immediately. Please rest assured, Ms. Allen, n, they won't spread." Lindsey hurriedly added, "Yes, yes, we know. William, you're sentimental and fair-minded. You've helped Elena Immensely. But whoever orchestrated this behind the scenes is despicable! They pushed my daughter to the brink. We won't let her get away with it!" William nodded in agreement, "The mastermind behind this must face justice." Lindsey asked, "William, you won't defend that woman named Emelie, right?" William lifted his gaze, “I'm referring to the mastermind. Is Emelie that person?" "How could she not be? She is!" Lindsey raised her voice. "There's solid evidence!" William set down hiss spoon and added, "The police investigation isn't concluded yet. Even after that, we have to await the court's verdict. Mrs. Allen, please be patient." Elena's father, Jeremiah Allen, frowned. "So, William, are you trying to defend Emelle?" William remained impartial. “The guilty will be caught. Those innocent won't be wronged,” he said,
Lindsey stood up abruptly. "William, you can't treat Elena like this! Don't you know how much she cares for E you? "So what? William Lindsey was Infuriated by his attitude. "Seems like you're determined to defend Emelie!"
"We thought that since Plena likes you and now works under your supervision, we're practically family. Nonetheless, we are committed to supporting yOUL However, with this stance."
Lindsey paused, then added with a cold smith, "You're not the only heir el of the Middleton Lamily now!" X
