NovelOnlineChapter 793 The Days Ahead Emelie realized that she was becoming more and more tolerant of William.
She turned her face towards the window, her tone stiff. "If you think that getting scolded counts as talking to you, then suit yourself. Drive." William lowered his gaze, a small smile still playing on his lips. This was fine for him. Nothing else mattered to him at the moment.
When the car arrived at Alderbrook, Emelie got out with the two lilies in hand.
William didn't follow her inside. He leaned against the car, waiting for her while responding to swork matters on his phone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith Charles and Bryan's recent shocking scandals, both of them had withdrawn from the Xanther Group, leaving only the Cloudex Corporation and the Collins family. The financial pressure was mounting.
The frequent incidents also caused the public to start questioning the Xanther Group. After all, three of the four founders were involved in criminal cases-Beathan was still under investigation for an assault case and hadn't been cleared yet.
William had somehow ended up as the only untainted one left.
He found it amusing. He coughed into his fist twice and slowly inhaled to avoid letting too much air into his lungs, easing the pressure. It was more comfortable that way.
He lowered his hand and tapped the back of his phone, lost in thought.
Winter was gradually fading, and Coastalburg was leaving the cold behind as the sunlight grew stronger. Their car was parked at the entrance of an alley, and the sun was bathing him entirely. Upon a close look, his face still appeared a bit pale.
About half an hour later, Emelie emerged from the Hoven family home.
William handed her a cup of chocolate, but Emelie frowned and didn't take it.
He said, "A few students walked by just now after school, each with a cup in hand. It looked really good, so I bought one for you. You should try it. I got it warm." "I don't drink sweet things," Emelie said.
William lowered his hand. "Alright. Aren't you going to stay with your foster parents for a bit longer? Even though you're in Coastalburg, you don't visit often, so it's rare that you're here." "I still need to ask you about that incident.' Emelie looked at him. "Who sent the thief to steal the artificial heart battery from my mother?" William gave the sanswer as before. "At this point, it doesn't matter who it was.' Emelie sneered. "William, I really don't understand you. You don't wantto be angry with you, yet you won't tellthe whole truth. You wantto accept you, but you can't explain how her life ended. This will always stand between us.

William immediately caught up and grabbed her arm. "I can't stop seeing you, angel. It's been three years. I've had enough of a life where I can't see you.
"You can callshameless, accuse Oof clinging to you. However, even if it means just driving you around or doing meaningless things, I will spend the rest of my days by your side.' Emelie's anger flared up instantly. She spun around and pushed him away. "Then tell me! What really happened with my mom's battery?"
However, William caught her hand as she pushed away, pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly. He said, "No matter what happened, it doesn't change the fact that your mom is already gone, does it?' Emelie clenched the fabric of his shirt, looking up at him. Her bloodshot eyes stared straight into his. She said, slowly, "During the three years when I was your secretary, you barely had any interaction with Charles, Bryan, and Beathan.
"Charles was once your love rival. You didn't like Bryan because Mr. Swanson didn't like him, You didn't know Beathan before Charles brought him in. Besides, he competed with your good friend Elias for a woman. You'd never genuinely see him as a friend. "So I can't think of any reason you'd cover for them if one of them did it. This means it had to be you. The culprit could only be you!"
