Witam ignored the call and sent a WhatsApp message instead. "What's going on?"

Jayden, who had escaped injury, was responsible for managing the aftermath of the incident. He had just left the police station.

"Reggie claims he's just an old friend of Jack and Max. He hasn't been in contact with them recently and has no idea why they would do such a thing."

Willam smirked. "That's nonsense."

"Everyone knows he's lying. The issue is there's no direct evidence linking Reggie to their actions, so the police had to release him for now. Will, Reggie may not have a strong background, but he's turning out to be more troublesome than we anticipated."

William messaged, "He can train dogs, the police witnessed it."

Jayden responded, "He claims he was just whistling randomly, not training dogs. He's not from Blossom Clove, and those village dogs shouldn't obey him.

"He's trying to distance himself from everything. Right now, there's no way to hold him accountable."

"That might not be the case," William replied, his lips curling into a cold smile. "Have you informed Lyle about this?"

Jayden raised his eyebrows. "Not yet."

He knew that if Lyle found out, he wouldn't handle it delicately. William contemplated that it legal measures proved ineffective, they might resort to their own methods. There was no way he would allow this to go unchecked.

Jayden knew what to do next and changed the subject. He asked, "Are you okay? How about Ms. Hoven's injuries?"

"Just surface wounds, nothing serious," William responded as the hospital room door opened. He placed his phone down and glanced up,

It was Samuel who entered. Seeing William there, Samuel immediately furrowed his brows.

William remained indifferent. Meanwhile, Samwel simply nodded in acknowledgment and walked straight to Emelie's bedside.

She was deeply asleep. Samuel settled beside her bed, silently keeping watch without disturbing her.

William scrolled through his phone, his tone icy as he dealt with the aftermath of such a significant incident. "Mr. Swanson, do you have time to come over? Shouldn't you be looking after your sister?" Samuel responded in a similarly distant manner, "There's no need for your concern, Mr. Middleton. Ell take care of Melanie and Emelie

"at's your responsibility to care for your sister. And as for Emelie," William glanced over, his gaze as cold as snowflakes.

"Are you caring for her our of your own self-interest, or are you doing it for someone who's hiding and afraid to show his face?"

Samuel remained composed. "I don't understand what you're implying."

"I believe you understand" William continued calmly, "During your time at Halcyon University pursuing your master's and doctoral degrees, you met Wesley and befriended him. "Later, upon your return, you took up a position as a professor at Capebatt University and maintained contact with Wesley.""

Samuel's expression turned serious. "Mr. Middleton, are you invading my privacy?"

"Privacy concerns only arise with dubious situations. By your standards, is your acquaintance with Wesley something to keep concealed?" William chuckled softly, and Samuel pursed his lips in response. When Emmelie had been abandoned in the wilderness, Abel confessed to William that Samuel had interrogated him. Samuel promptly disclosed Emelie's location to Marcel, who was Wesley's associate This revelation confirmed to William that Samuel was acquainted with Wesley, prompting him to delve deeper into their connections.

Williamleaned against the bedside, his expression scomful. "Wesley hasn't made any progress in all these years. He only knows how to make petty moves behind the scenes." Samuel adjusted his glasses, his tone indifferent. "Mr. Middleton, if you choose not to treat Emelie well, that's up to you. But you can't dictate how others look out for her and treat

ber.

"As for Wesley's character, you don't seem entitled to judge."

William responded icily, "Whether I treat her well or not isn't your place to judge either. Did Wesley instruct you to watch over her all the way to her bedside? Mr. Swanson, your conduct is disgraceful." Samuel's expression darkened. The exchange stirred Emelie from her brief nap. She awoke just in time, diffusing their escalating tension.
