Chapter 373 Testimony Reversal

"What?" Emelie straightened up. "Really?"

William tossed her phone onto the bed, gesturing for her to look. The screen displayed a call from Ashley.

Emelie quickly answered, "Ashley?

Hearing Emelie's voice, Ashley sighed in relief. "Finally, you answered me. Where have you been the last couple of days? I sent messages, called you, and even went to your hotel but couldn't replace you.

"I thought the Allen family had done something to you. I was about to call the police if I didn't hear from you today."

Emelie blinked. She had been with William for the past two days, and her phone had been in her bag, which she had left on the top floor. She hadn't thought to check it.

"I'm fine."

"That's good to hear. I need to tell you that the travel restriction on you leaving Weston has been lifted. You're free to move around now.

Emelie asked, "Why was it suddenly lifted?

"Those two guys were interrogated several times by the police. They finally cracked and changed their testimony. They admitted that Elena hired them to frame

you.

"She promised them twenty thousand dollars each if they did well. The police have already taken Elena into custody, and her parents are scrambling to replace a lawyer to get her out."

Emelie remained silent. She was shocked by the sudden tumot events

After a few moments of silence, she calmly said, "Elena didn't just frame me. She also forged evidence, staged a fake suicide, and wasted public resources. She even hired online trolls to spread rumors about me and leaked my personal information

"I even received a threatening package two days ago because of her. I'm going to soe her!"

She refused to let this matter go.

Elena needed to experience the same fear and uncertainty that Emelie had endured. Only then would it be a proper apology.

Ashley immediately said, "I support you in using the law to defend your rights. I'll gather all the evidence. Once these charges are proven in court, Elena will have to face all time." Emelie said, "Ashley, thank you so much."

Ashley responded casually, "No problem. It's been a while since I've handled a case this 'criminal'."

"Alright, let's stay in touch if anything comes up.

Emelle was about to hang up when Ashley suddenly said, "Wait a second."

Emelie asked, "What's up?"

Ashley said, "Happy New Year."

Emelie smiled and replied, "Happy New Year to you too."

After hanging up, Emelie let out a long breath. Finally, the burden had litted. She couldn't help but smile.

William wasn't in the room. She went to the bathroom to freshen up and then called out as she walked out, "William?"

He was in the living room, setting up the breakfast. She jumped onto the couch, squatting with a grin, "Those guys actually changed their testimony. I didn't think it would be that easy "Never underestimate the police." William picked up a pancake with his fork and brought it to her. "They've handled thousands of cases. They know how to deal with people like that. Open up." Emelle opened her mouth. She bit into the pancake. The honey filled her mouth.

William wiped the honey from her lips, and she still felt a little flustered by his touch. She quickly handed him a napkin.

William sald' "Eat up. Once we're done, I'll take you back to Capebatt City."

"Now?" Emelie was surprised.

William's eyes were dark. He said, "Don't you want to see your parents?"

He remembered when she ran to him from the elevator, saying she wanted to go home. At that moment, she felt especially helpless and just wanted to be with her parents. But now, she felt much better. Going back, she could take her mom for a follow-up checkup. With two days soft, there was plenty of time. So, she said, "sure?"
