Chapter 347 Hold Her Accountable

It wasn't me.

Emelie Jost count of how many times she had said those three words in the past hour.

"I didn't do such a thing, nor would I ever. If I wanted to do something like that, I wouldn't have left so many clues for the police to trace back to me." The latter part of her sentence softened the stern look on William's face into a faint chuckde.

Emelie couldn't decipher whether his reaction Indicated belief or disbellet. She refastened her seatbelt and did not feel the urge to convince him further. She sent a message to Ashley, "Ashley, do you have time later at night? Something happened, and we need to talk on the phone."

Ashley had yet to reply.

William instructed Ashton to drive and asked, "Does Jeremiah and Lindsey know about this?"

Ashton replied, "Yes, they do, but they're currently on vacation in New quinby, I will take some time for them to fly back, so they have entrusted everything to

Charles"

Emelie wanted to understand the detalls and leaned forward slightly. "Ms. Jones, didn't you go looking for Elena last night?

Ashton eyed William for permission. It was only when William nodded slightly with his eyes closed that she responded to Emelie..

"I found Ms. Allen at the bar last night. She told me that today's her birthday, and she hoped to stay in Weston for two more days to celebrate. Since the bar was too noisy, 1 went outside to call Mr. Middleton for permission. After receiving his approval, I returned to the barbut didn't see Ms. Allen in her seat.

"I asked the waiter, who said she left on her own. I initially thought she went to the restroom, so checked there but didn't replace her. I then searched the dance floor but still couldn't locate her. Emelle pressed, "So how did you replace herin trouble?"

"A commotion in a private room drew the attention of the waiter who found her. Luckily, the waiter entered to check Ms. Allen was already stripped naked, but she nanowly escaped a tragedy, Ashton replied, somewhat relieved.

Emelie noted her wording "50, the worst didn't happen?*

"No, but even so, both the Davis family and the Allen family will purse this matter to the end."

Although Emelie had no fondness for Elena, she still felt a sense of relief knowing that the worst hadn't happened. As a woman, she understood the psychological scars such an incident could leave. William opened his eyes and glanced at her, discerning herthoughts. "Instead of worrying about her, you should worry about yourself. The Allen family has only one daughter, and they won't let this slido. You're currently the prime suspect, so they'll target you."

Emelie knew it well I didn't do it, so I trust the police will clear my name.

what the

There was an enigmatic look on William's face. "That depends on whether the justice you believe in aligns with what the Allen family considers justice."

Emelle's heart sank" Mr. Middleton, you're saying that even if it wasn't me, they'll still hold me accountable once they've decided that I should be responsible?"

Willlaro didn't respond immediately. The streetlights flashed across his face, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Emelie refused to accept his words. She still believed in the law.

The car pulled up to the hotel Emelie got out and walked inside briskly.

William exited the car but didn't follow her in immediately. Instead, be lit a cigarette and called Lyle, "Lyle, I need you to replace two people. Charles and the police are also looking for them. You need to act fast," Lyle sounded intrigued. "interesting, what's going on?"

Emelie entered her room and immediately called Ashley,

She had received a response from Ashley, who was available for a call

Ashley answered Emelie's call almost instantly. Emelie recounted the event in detail

Ashley listened to everything Emelie said. "Got it clear my ongoing work and by to Weston to help you."

Emelie felt reassured and less uneasy. "Thank you. I'll cover all legal fees"

Ashley raised an eyebrow. "And I'll gladly accept"

Hanging up, Ashley began packing her suitcase.

Ellas emerged from the bathroom and saw her packing clothes. He had a towel drying his hair and another tied to his waist. His muscular chest and abs were still glistening with moisture. "Honey, are you going on a business trip?

Ashley didn't lookup. She just hummed in affirmation

Elias leaned on the wall, half-smiling. "Is it a real business trip or an excuse? We've only been living together for a few days, and you're leaving me again. I suspect you'er trying to avoid me on purpose," Addley said, "No,"

She was just wearing a short after their relate time, revealing her well-toned body from her usual workouts.

Elias' eyes darkened. He tossed the towel aside and pulled her up from the floor. "Really? Then tell me, what case is more important than our marital harmony?"
