Chapter 698 A Slap At this close distance, William could smell the faint fragrance on Emelie and instinctively turned his head to inhale more of it.

Emelie didn't see any hint of fear on his face and tightened her grip on his collar. "You don't believe me?" Just then, to her surprise, someone grabbed her arm and warned her, "Ms. Pierce, please don't offend Mr. Middleton like this." Emelie turned to see it was Ashton. How could she be there? At the stime, she noticed someone else behind her.

Emelie immediately turned around and saw four bodyguards in black, clearly William's men. If she dared to harm William further, they would act immediately.

Emelie narrowed her eyes and looked back at William.

He let her hold his collar, slightly bent forward, showing no sign of resistance. His expression was calm and composed. It was clear he wasn't being controlled by her.

Emelie's lips curled into a cold smile. "Your people have been in Borealis City all along? You're not alone after all?" William didn't deny it.

Emelie nodded. She should have expected that someone of his status and level wouldn't be out alone. She sneered. "Were you pretending to be weak just to makelower my guard, Mr. Middleton?" "No, just to make you less hostile toward me," William said softly.

Emelie glared at him.

Ashton said again, "Ms. Pierce, please let go of Mr. Middleton." He was William, the president of the Cloudex Corporation and the only son of the Middleton family. No one had ever dared to grab him by the collar. It was a blatant insult.

Emelie ignored her.

Ashton was unable to hold back any longer and started to move forward. However, a cold glance from William made her stop, and her hands clenched into fists.

Emelie expressionlessly said, "Tellwhat I want to know." William wore a self-deprecating smile. It was clear that no matter what, she was determined to find out who had harmed Wesley.

Despite the fatigue he felt, he finally said, "It's Wesley's aunt, Natalia Filo." Emelie quickly pictured the noblewoman's face.

Natalia had always been a suspect. Now that it was confirmed, she wasn't very surprised.

Emelie finally released William's collar and he added, "If you need evidence, I'll provide it when I return to Capebatt City." Emelie asked, "How did you know it was her?" William simply replied, "I investigated the matter." "And why did you investigate it?" she asked. It had nothing to do with him, after all.

William said, "I know that you want to know. I'll give you whatever you want." Emelie admired his ability to turn every sentence into a romantic line.

She raised an eyebrow. "So, you must have had someone watchingto know what was investigating." William coughed quietly. Emelie said firmly, "Immediately remove your people from around me." William replied softly, "I placed them around you only to protect you. I have no other intentions."

"Mr. Middleton, I appreciate your good intentions, but it'sunnecessary, Emelie said with a smirk. "Since you have someone taking care of you, I'll leave now." She turned to leave without waiting for a response.

They were initially standing toe to toe. As she walked away, the distance between them grew.

William leaned against the hospital wall. He watched her walk down the hallway and her figure gradually disappearing.

Memories of her turning away from him flashed before his eyes both from three years ago and the om present. Like frames from a video, each showed her indifferent, resolute departure. After ten seconds, William couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly ran after her.

Ashton watched in surprise as William grabbed Emelie's arm.

He tried to say, "Angel-" However, the moment Emelie was yanked back, she slapped him hard across the face without hesitation.
