Lasseted. "There were two security guards at the entrance of the firm. As soon as they saw me, they stopped me and told me that I wasn't allowed to enter.

"Ther husband, but she treats me like a thiet just because I didn't sign the postnuptial agreement. Isn't that ridiculous? Would I have been in such a hurry to marry her it in weren't for her interbance? Willam casually replied, "Do you need her money that much?"

El laughed. "That's not just some money.

Ashley's parents had died in a plane crash, so she had inherited all their wealth. As a lawyer herself, no one should dream of claiming her assets. Only someone with the legal status of her husband stood a chance at getting her fortune

this leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling. He mumbled, "Wealth really does bring trouble. She doesn't understand. She might seem smart, but deep down, she's just

He trailed off and sighed. Then, he said, "It all balls downs to the fact that capable women are a pain in the ass. Will, don't you agree?

William raised an eyebrow. "When have ever said that?"

"You don't agree? Theard about Ms. Hoven. Swanson Corporation gave her an offer, and she left just like that. She's a pain in the ass because she can't be tamed even after three years by your side"

"If you can't handle Ashley, that's your problem. Emelle is well-behaved. She won't join Swanson Corporation. She's my secretary because she's mine. Do you understand?" said William as he gently swirled the wine in his glass.

Ellas had already drunk a couple of glasses the shook his head, dave "Not really"

William was about to continue speaking when his phone. It was a call from an unfamiliar number,

ite picked up the phone. "Hello?

There was silence on the other end. He frowned "Who's this?"

Then, a woman's sob sounded. "Mr. Middleton."

Willam's face darkened. It was Daphine

"Mr. Middleton, you blocked my number, so I had to call you on a different phone. You..

Hallway through Daphne's words, William hung up.

Elias looked over, bleary-eyed "Who was ?"

William got up "I'm leaving You should quit drinking

Elias protested. "That we've just started!"

william waved dismissively and then left.

The waiter came to clear away the empty glasses. Elias clicked his tongue as he turned to the water and asked, "Was he showing off about his secretary coming back?!

The waiter smiled. "Mr. Undvike, your usual room is ready. Shall help you over?"

Ellas chugged the remaining wine and then slammed the glass on the table, "No."

He fumbled to his feet. The waiter worriedly approached to help him up "Where are you going?".

Elias staggered as he said, “I'm going I'm going to replacemy wife "

william left Westward Club and got into the car.

Abel turned to inquire, "Mr. Middleton, are we heading back to Eastbay?""

William responded with a grunt before closing his eyes Although he hadn't drunk as much as Flies, a couple of glasses were enough to make him tipy. Abelheaded for Eastbay: Upon their arrival, William opened his eyes. The alcohol had softened this usually sharp gaze. He asked, "Have you sent her to the hospital

Abel took a moment to realize that William was referring to Emelle. He then replied, "Yes."

William shifted in his seat and commanded in a slightly hoarse voice, "Tum the car around. Head to the hospital."

William's medical team from Lables had received a detailed explanation of Greta's condition from Dr. Chadwick, but they couldn't perform the surgery today.

Greta was too weak, and given her age, the earliest they could operate on her was on the day after tomorrow.

With such a professional medical team on standby, Emelle no longer felt as panicked as she had been when she had first received the news.

She told Eliana and Billy, "You should go home first. I'll stay here."

"Alright. We'll get some rest and come back in shifts. We can't enter the ICU anyway, so staying here is just a waste of time," Billy said. Emelie podded milly added, "Call us anytime."*

Budir porsed her lips and said, "Takecare."

After they left, Fanelle was the only one in the waiting area. Her backarhed from sitting on the hard plastic chait, so she got up to walk around. Chapter 243 Drunkenness

A nurse saw her and said, "You should go home. We'll be here at the ICU, and there's nothing you can do here."

Emelie shook her head. Although she couldn't enter the ICU, being closer to Greta made her feel more at ease. The nurse thought against trying to dissuade Emelie, who seemed to be as stubborn as a mule, any further.

On her way back from the bathroom, Emelie was grabbed by the arm and pulled to the side when she was turning a corner. Instinctively, she lashed out.

The man caught her wrist with ease and pinned it behind her back. It was only then that she realized who it was. "William, why are you here?
