Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie Hoven )

Chapter 506 Her Tantrum is Quite New

Emelie froze for a moment.

When she realized what he had said, she became furious and grabbed everything within reach to hurl it at William.

William didn't dodge. A tissue box hit his shoulder and then fell to the ground. He bent down and picked it up before pulling out a tissue to wipe his mouth.

William then walked over to her as the maid handed him his coat.

He ruffled Emelie's hair, and she dodged his hand. Unbothered, he put on his coat and said, "Angel, wait for me at home."

Emelie glared at him coldly.

William turned and left, locking the door behind him. As she heard the click of the lock, Emelie closed her eyes and smashed the remaining items in the room.

She usually wouldn't act this way. However, she felt a surge of anger in her chest. If she didn't vent her feelings, she might suffocate.

The maids moved to clean the place up, but she ordered, "Don't clean this up!"

The maids exchanged uneasy glances. As Emelie headed upstairs, she continued to throw things. The once pristine Eastbay, the top luxury residence in Capebatt City, turned into a mess early that morning.

William watched the scene through the security cameras, and he found her tantrum quite new. Emelie was usually a calm person.

He smirked as he headed downstairs to his car. He instructed Ashton, "The maids' cooking is mediocre. Arrange for Westward Club to deliver meals here on time from now on, and hire a few more chefs for the house."

Ashton understood immediately. "Got it."

When they arrived at Cloudex Corporation, Lyle had just arrived as well.

Lyle was riding a heavy motorcycle. This particular model was one of only a few worldwide, with a price equivalent to a house in Capebatt City.

The sleek black and gold bike was like a wild, untamed leopard. Even parked next to William's Cullinan, it was not overshadowed.

Lyle removed his helmet and shook his hair. His light brown locks gleamed like gold in the sunlight. "Will, " he called out.

William got out of the car and glanced at him. Dressed in leather, Lyle's outfit accentuated his tall, lean frame. His wild demeanor suited the motorcycle perfectly.

William nodded before heading inside. Lyle casually tossed his keys to the valet and said, "Thanks."

However, the valet couldn't start the bike and struggled to move it. Eventually, it took several people to push it to the parking lot, leaving them nearly in tears.

Lyle followed William into the elevator. He removed his gloves as he said, "Wesley hasn't made any moves. He's just gone back to his ship, which is still docked at Lionia Port and hasn't set sail yet." William responded with a calm hum.

When they reached the office floor, the two walked into William's office. Lyle asked in his casual Eprandian accent, "What about Ms. Hoven? How is she?"

As the glass door closed behind them, William suddenly turned and grabbed Lyle by the collar before slamming him against the wall.

Lyle was caught off guard. "Will!"

Even in a suit, William's imposing presence overwhelmed Lyle, who was in full gear. Staring coldly into Lyle's eyes, he questioned, "Did you know that she broke a bowl and hid the shards?"

Lyle was stunned. He quickly explained, "I immediately had someone clean up after that. Did she hide a shard? I had no idea. What did she do with it?"

He then noticed the bandage on William's hand. "Will, did she hurt you? How bad is it? How could she dare to harm you?"

After a few seconds, William released him.

Lyle was the least likely person to betray him.

Years ago, when Lyle was beaten to the brink of death, it was William who had saved him and dealt with those who were responsible. Lyle had risen to his current position as Mr. Inning all because of William, who had always been his benefactor and the person he listened to the most.

William patted Lyle's collar. "It's just a small wound. But I'm surprised you missed such a large shard."

Lyle frowned. "I didn't watch her closely enough. It's my mistake."

William walked back to his desk. "I'll give you a chance to make up for it."

Lyle responded, "Just tell me what to do, Will."

"Take some men to the Hoven residence in Alderbrook and search the place thoroughly. But I doubt the account book is there. Check Eliana Hoven's house and the apartment she used to share with someone as well." William sat back in his chair and crossed his legs.

Lyle replied, "Alright."

William propped his head on his hand while pondering. Then, he said, "The Hovens have three daughters. There's another one, Etta, who eloped three years ago. Find out where she is now."

"Got it. I'll handle it right away."
