Chapter 455 Trust Him

Amer the call ended, Ashley passed before turning to look at Emelie, who was sitting in the living room,

Yes, Emelie was actually at Ashley's place.

When Ashley had receive William's call, Emelie had put a finger to her lips, signalling to her not to tell Wiliam that she was there. Ashley was purled "Why didn't you want me to tell Mr. Middleton the truth?

Emelle held a glass of warm water. The heat seeped through the glass, burning her fingertips red. Her Eps, however, were pale.

"I need your help with something, but you're pregnant." She bit her Ep and continued, "Then again, I don't know who else to turn to."

Ashley didn't think it was a big deal. "What is it? post telline. I'm pregnant, not paralyzed."

Mona chimed in. "You have me too. I can help."

Emelie looked up. "You both know that my mom fainted on New Year's Eve and was rushed to the hospital. My dad was with her at the hospital, but later, he disappeared. I got a call in the middle of the night from the police station saying that my dad was causing a disturbance on the street while drunk"

Ashley nodded. "And then?

"I suspect that he might have seen someone at the hospital, which caused him to leave and get dronk."

Ashley understood the situation now. "So, you want me to investigate your dad's movements after he left the hospital?"

Emelie nodded. "Yes."

Although Ashley was just a lawyer, she had connections. It was easier for her to replace out some things.

This wasn't difficult for Ashley. Still, she was curious. "Why do you suddenly have this suspicion?"

It was pretty sudden.

Emelie recalled the unexpected encounter a few hours ago. She seemed to stil be able to smell the faint scent of pine. She gripped the glass tightly "Someone told me that my dad met two people on New Year's Eve. They were the real reason for his suicide. But the person didn't tell me everything. So, myself" Ashley probed, "Do you trust this person a lot?"

If that wasn't the case, Emelie wouldn't be seeking her help based on the person's word alone.

Emele replied, "He wouldn't lie to me. Her few words conveyed her unconditional trust in that person,

Ashley and Mona exchanged glances. Mona was also puzzled. She didn't know who could make Emelie speakin such a tone.

Ashley pondered for a moment. "Alright, I'll help you investigate."

"Let me know everything you replace out I'll be going now," Emelie said as she put down the glass

Mona quickly asked, "Where are you going? Are you going back to our apartment?

Thave to replace out for

Emelie wanted to reach the apartment before William. Hence, she didn't stay any longer and left inmediately.

Mona said, "Eme didn't say why she didn't want us to tell Mr. Middleton the truth. Aren't they married? Why is she still so guarded against him?

Wouldn't that make their marriage pointless?

As a lawyer, Ashley was very perceptive. "I'm more curious about who told her that."

Ashley's place was closer to the small apartment than Eastbay.

Emelle drove there on her own. She gripped the steering wheel tightly as she took a shortcut to get back to the apartment.

Just as she parked her car, she noticed William's car turning the corner.

She quickly got out and ran upstairs before entering the room and taking off her coat. She controlled her breathing, which was slightly erratic from running, while messing up her hair and then diving under the

covers.

Just as she was settled in, the doorbell rang

William had looked up at the apartment earlier, but he didn't see any lights on. He couldn't be sure that Emelie was there, which made him anxious

Thus, when he reached the apartment door, he rang the doorbell twice without hesitation. There was no response, which caused him to frown immediately.

Jayden had come with him. He understood that it was worrying when someone still hadn't come home when it was late at night and couldn't be contacted, However, it was his firsttime seeing William show such visible emotion.

Just as jayders was about to s

cosuprest calling someone to investigate the matter, they heard movement from inside the apartment. It sounded like slippers dragging across the floor. The next thing they knew, the lights came on, and the door opened

They saw Fanelle, who seemed to have been woken up from her skep. She looked at them groeply and asked in confusion, "Williant""

William, whose heart had been in turmoil all night, finally belt some relief. His voice was hoarse when he said, "You're here."
