Chapter 346 He Doesn't Trust Her Again

Listening to all this, Charles looked at Emelie with a complex look on his face, as if weighing whether to trust her.

Emelie took a deep breath and explained methodically, "Ms. Allen, all your accusations are based on the premise that I have hostility toward you because of

William

"That said, I officially broke up with William more than half a year ago. I've never intended to get back with him, not n points, I have no reason to consider you a rival."

William walked into the police station with Ashton just in time to hear Emelie's firm declaration.

He stopped in his tracks, his eyes dark and unfathomable as he looked at her.

now not in the future. Based on these three

They stood at opposite ends of the corridor. Emelie's gaze crossed Elena and Charles to meet William's. Her heart clenched, but she did not falter.

She continued, "Secondly, the Citadel Group has only temporarily postponed the signing of the contract, not canceled their cooperation with the Swanson Corporation. There's a high possibility of us finalizing the deal, so to say that you ruined my contract is invalid. Since it isn't ruined, we have no enmity.

"Lastly, I'm just an ordinary employee with no one to backme up. Tunderstand you have the Allen and Davis families to support you, so why would I recklessly hire men to harm you and bring trouble upon myself? That doesn't make sense. So, it's true that it wasn't me."

Charles, who initially doubted Emelie, changed his mind after listening to her clear and logical explanation. He had been quite mad at Emelie when he had been told to keep an eye on Elena.

Yet, Elena refused to listen to a single word that was said. "You think your plan is flawless and that they will never trace it back to you. That's why you'll do anything!"

She waited, leaning against Charles' chest. "Charles, it's her! She did it! She hired the two men! There's no one else except her! I've just returned and only had a conflict with her! If not her, who else could it be!"

Emelie had nothing else to say. "If you must accuse me, Ms. Allen, we'll see each other in court. The truth will be determined by the law."

Elena raised her head. "You said you don't want to get back with William, but you've been spending the past few days with him. How is that not wanting to get back together?

"You've even told me to my face that you'd take William away from me. How is that not wanting to get back together?

"You're a liar! Do you think I'm a fool now that you're trying to argue? Emelle Hoven, I'll make sure you go to jail!"

Emelie had said all she could. If Elena refused to listen and was determined to belleve her version of the truth, there was no point in trying to explain further.

She said, "If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do about it."

Enraged, Elena tried to charge at her again. "You-"

Charles held her back. "Elenal Calm down!"

Emelie sympathized with Elena's ordeal, which was why she had spoken in such a calm tone. But if Elena insisted on throwing baseless accusations at her, she couldn't feel any sympathy,

It was only then that William spoke, "The police have taken up the case. Let them handle it from here. There's no need to fight."

Elena tumed abruptly, her ferocity dissipating upon seeing him. Tears streamed down her face.

Without makeup on, Elena's face was pitifully pale. "William, are you going to be so heartless when I malready in such a state?

"Even if you're tired of me pestering you, you're the one who agreed to be with me back then. And it was you who allowed me to join Cloudex Corporation. I've done everything you wanted, but don't you have even the slightest sympathy for me?"

Such a heartfelt plea would soften anyone's heart.

William's too softened. "Don't overthink it. I'll have my men investigate and give you justice."

Charles was visibly distressed as he held onto the sobbing Elena. He said, not too kindly, "There's no need for the trouble, Mr. Middleton. I'll investigate myself."

William calmly replied, "I know you're capable of investigating. We'll each conduct our investigations and see if our replaceings align with each other."

Charles narrowed his eyes. Was William implying that their replaceings might differ?

William's gaze shifted to Emelie. "Are you done here? If so, let's go."

Emelie heaved a sigh and followed him.

As she passed by Elene, she heard a cold voice, "Emelie, I'll make you pa

iDay"

She didn't stop walking.

After exiting the police station and getting into the cat, Emelie barely had time to fasten her seatbelt when William struck her with a sudden question, "Was it you? She let go of the seatbelt, startled. It snapped back and smacked on the back of her hand, leaving a red mark

Indeed, Emelie was sure that he wouldn't trust her again.
