Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 68 Jealousy Chapter 68 Jealousy The 19th floor was bustling today, filled with employees from Cloudex Corporation.

The police arrived with hotel surveillance footage. They confirmed Jeremy and Emelie's presence at the salon event in the hotel banquet hall last night.

Jeremy left much earlier than Emelle, so it was evident that there was no chance of anything happening between them.

It was apparent that Cindy was the one spreading rumors.

Feeling like a cornered animal, Cindy insisted, "Keep watching! Emelie's definitely hiding something! "I mean, she lives right in Capebatt City. Why would she stay at the hotel late at night? There's gotta be a reason.

"And even if it wasn't Mr. Ramsey, it could've been someone else!" If the footage kept rolling, it would show William leading Emelie upstairs.

Emelie maintained a poker face.

"As long as we prove you're spreading rumors, that's all that matters. Whether or not I left the hotel is none of your business." Cindy gritted her teeth. "You're guilty as sin! Keep watching, everyone! Let's see what she's hiding!" As Emelie contemplated how to handle the situation, William intervened.

"The matter's been clarified. Let's call it a day." With his words, the onlookers scattered and no longer dared to stick around.

The lunchtchatter among Cloudex Corporation employees took a surprising turn.

What started as talk about Emelie's rumored "affair" had now shifted to discussions about Cindy spreading false rumors.

It was a complete reversal of topics.

But Emelie wasn't willing to just let it go. She asked the police, "What's the next step? Surely it's not just a matter of a verbal warning?" The police hesitated. "Usually, we try to mediate..." Emelie cut them off, saying, "I won't settle for mediation." The police explained, "For serious cases of defamation, the offender could be detained for up to five days. Cindy's face went pale.

Just a moment ago, she was confident, but now she was on the verge of tears.

Chapter 68 Jealers "Please, Ms. Hoven, I promise I won't do it again. Please don't let the police arrest me, don't detain me. If I get a record, I'll struggle to find a job.

"I've just graduated. I still have a future. Please, show smercy, Ms. Hoven..." Emelie responded with a hint of amusement, "Why do you need to find a job? Didn't Mr. Middleton already rehire you?" William glanced at her. "Cloudex Corporation can't tolerate employees who spread rumors and defothers." In other words, William wasn't going to defend Cindy this time.

The police took Cindy back to the station for further questioning.

In a moment of utter despair, as she was dragged away, Cindy turned to Emelie and cried out, "Emelie! You've ruined my life! I hate you!" Emelie shook her head with a wry smile.

The one who agreed to fire Cindy initially was William, and it was also William who praised Cindy as a hero when he rehired her.

Yet now, it was William who was spearheading her dismissal from the company once again.

Despite this, Cindy's resentment was solely aimed at Emelie.

William glanced at Emelie. “After causing so much , are you happy now?" Emelie countered, "How was itcausing all the ? Should I just sit back and endure false accusations?" William remarked, "I've never seen you so sharp-tongued before.

"If she wasn't sharp-tongued, how else could she defend herself?" Emelie wondered.

Even if she went around explaining to everyone one by one, there would still be doubters.

It was better to make a big fuss, turning gossip into news headlines so she could clear her ncompletely. Emelie took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Mr. Middleton, please don't act like you knowso well." With that, she turned and walked back to her desk.

Jayden walked up to William. "Are you impressed by her gutsy move?" William averted his gaze and stepped into his office.

"Now that she has vented her frustrations, my plan is ruined." Jayden inquired, "Your plan?" "Cindy was playing both sides and had connections with Mr. Ramsey's brother. I was hoping to see if I could leverage her connections to dig up something.

"But now, all thanks to this woman, it's all gone to waste." But Jayden sensed there was more to William's frustration and gave him a closer look. "So why did you back her up earlier?" William didn't see it that way. Emelie was with him last night, not Jeremy.

He wasnt in the habit of being cuckolded.

Jayden added casually, "But Ms. Hoven has been getting close to Vertex Capital Holdings lately. I have at feeling she's seriously thinking about resigning." William sipped his coffee, absentmindedly rubbing a faint red mark on his neck. It was a bite mark from Emelie last night.

He chuckled, "Why do you think she's so keen on getting rid of Cindy?" Jayden paused, catching the tone. “Because... jealousy?" "Exactly." "What else could it be?" William thought.

But Jayden wasn't entirely sold on the idea.

William handed Jayden a cup of coffee, which he accepted.

"Anyway, let's change the subject. I won't be able to make it to the cruise party hosted by the Grahams Elias is going, and you're going too, right?" Jayden asked.

"Yeah," William confirmed with a nod.

Jayden took a sip of his coffee and casually added, “I wonder if Wesley's back yet? I remember you two went to the shigh school.

"I heard he went abroad because he couldn't handle a girl who was relentlessly pursuing him." He chuckled at the story, finding it amusing.

However, Jayden didn't notice the sharp, cold look in William's eyes when Wesley's nwas mentioned. Chapter 68 Jealousy The 19th floor was bustling today, filled with employees from Cloudex Corporation.

The police arrived with hotel surveillance footage. They confirmed Jeremy and Emelle's presence at the salon event in the hotel banquet hall last night.

Jeremy left much earlier than Emelle, so it was evident that there was no chance of anything happening between them.

It was apparent that Cindy was the one spreading rumors.

Feeling like a comered animal, Cindy insisted, "Keep watching! Emelle's definitely hiding something! "I mean, she lives right in Capebatt City. Why would she stay at the hotel late at night? There's gotta be a reason.

"The matter's been clarified. Let's call it a day." With his words, the onlookers scattered and no longer dared to stick around.

The lunchtchatter among Cloudex Corporation employees took a surprising turn.

What started as talk about Emelie's rumored "affair” had now shifted to discussions about Cindy spreading false rumors.

It was a complete reversal of topics.

But Emelie wasn't willing to just let it go. She asked the police, "What's the next step? Surely it's not just a matter of a verbal warning?" The police hesitated. "Usually, we try to mediate..." Emelie cut them off, saying, "I won't settle for mediation." The police explained, “For serious cases of defamation, the offender could be detained for up to five days.

Cindy's face went pale.

Just a moment ago, she was confident, but now she was on the verge of tears.

William's expression quickly turned cold. "When did this happen?" Emelie replied calmly, "She said it was last night." Last night, Emelie was indeed 'violated." But when it cto whether it was Jeremy or not, nob*dy knew better than William.

He turned to Cindy. "What did you see?" " ." Cindy's face paled as she stuttered. She finally realized Emelie wasn't joking.

In a panic, she blurted out, "Emelie! What nonsense are you spouting?" Emelie replied, "How is it nonsense? Didn't you vividly describe to our colleagues what supposedly happened betweenand Mr. Ramsey? "You painted such a vivid picture with all the details. However, I don't remember anything. But since my colleagues believe you, naturally, I do, too." Cindy never imagined that Emelie would handle it this way.

Rumors would usually spread like wildfire, making it impossible for the victims to clear their names.

Even if they attempted to explain, speople would still remain skeptical.

Cindy's intent was to tarnish Emelie's reputation: She had even prepared herself for a confrontation if Emelie cto her. But she never expected Emelie to involve the police directly.

The situation quickly went from Emelie needing to defend herself against false accusations to one where Cindy had to prove something that never even happened.

"But how on earth could she possibly prove something that never occurred?" Cindy wondered.

Involving the police turned the situation from mere gossip into a serious matter.

Emelie's eyes now held a similar coldness and lack of empathy as William's as she watched Cindy's panic unfold.

"It's not just me. Other colleagués heard it, too. You claimed to have solid evidence, so when the police. arrived, you better hand it over.

"That includes where Mr. Ramsey got the drugs, how he slipped them into my drink, how he passed it to me, and which hotel he tookto. Everything needs to be explained." However, Cindy had no evidence to support her claims.

She looked nervously at William. She was expecting him to step in and help.

With his hands tucked behind his back, William's lips formed a slight smile.

"Well, let's see the evidence first." Emelie shot him a quick glance.

William knew just what happened last night. He knew Cindy was spreading rumors.

But since Emcile had already called the police, he didn't feel the need to intervene.

Cindy never thought things would blow up like this, to the point where even William got dragged in.

"Isn't this just gossip?" she thought.

Watching things get serious, she genuinely panicked and stuttered, "N-no, it's not true! I didn't see anything.

"I just heard you went to the hotel with Mr. Ramsey. I don't know anything else. Please don't falsely accuse me!” "How am I falsely accusing you? Didn't the rumors start with you?" Emelie smirked. “Everyone here can testify to that." Her colleagues nodded in agreement.

Emelie "comforted" Cindy, saying, "Ms. Mitchell, don't be afraid. Just because Mr. Ramsey is our business partner doesn't mean you can't tell the truth.

"As long as what you say is true, justice will prevail." William nodded.

"Even if your revelation damages our partnership and results in Cloudex Corporation losing millions in investments, I won't hold you accountable." William and Emelie's words left Cindy feeling weak, causing her to slump into her chair.

The idea of ruining the partnership and causing millions in losses weighed heavily on her.

She quickly got up again and hurried over to Emelie.

"You-you need to call the police and tell them it was all a mistake! There wasn't any drugging! Nothing went down! "I made it all up because I was pissed at you for lying to me. It wasn't real. I-I can't handle the company's losses!" "So it was just a rumor," The colleagues watching whispered among themselves. They were amazed at how convincingly Cindy spoke. They nearly bought into it.

Jayden subtly clenched his fist, trying to hide a smirk at the corner of his lips.

"Ms. Hoven sure knows how to deal with these rumors." She even managed to make the accuser suffer the consequences.

y.

William raised an eyebrow. "Is she really that good?" Jayden chuckled. "Maybe it's because she's always been so obedient in your presence, so you think she's just a hamless little bunny." Cindy struggled desperately, her words tumbling out incoherently, "... you... you were with Mr. Ramsey at the hotel last night! It's reasonable forto assthat! "Ir you weren't, then tell me, what were you doing at the hotel last night? Con, say something!" Emelie didn't even bother responding.

William stayed silent, too. He knew all too well that Emelle, who had just calmly and decisively countered the rumors, was in his arms last night.

William absentmindedly rubbed his hands behind his back.

The police brought Jeremy along, and he looked totally lost. Emelie stuck to her story-Cindy claimed she had a thing with Jeremy, but Emelie couldn't recall any of it.

Emelie dared Cindy to provide proof, arguing that if Cindy said it happened, then it must have been because Jeremy drugged her.

Jeremy erupted in anger. He wanted to lunge forward and slap Cindy again, but the police held him back just in time.

The police stepped in, speaking firmly, "Alright, what's going on here? Give us the whole story! "And you, young lady, do you realize that spreading rumors can lead to legal consequences?" Cindy couldn't hold back her emotions anymore.

She broke down in tears, dropping to her knees before Emelie.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It was all my fault for spreading those lies! I know I messed up! I won't do it again, I swear!" Chapter 68 Jealousy Chapter 68 Jealousy The 19th floor was bustling today, filled with employees from Cloudex Corporation.
