He continued, “Ms.Thornton must have been the one who contacted the police. They’ve misunderstood the situation, likely due to your reaction at the hospital the other day A simple explanation will clear things up, I’m sure” 

Misunderstood? 

Imele scoffed again. “I won’t participate in your little charade.” 

william placed a soft–boiled egg on her plate. “But if you don’t resolve this misunderstanding and the police take Mr. Middleton away, no one will be able to care for your mother.” just kest night, he was holding her close, whispering promises of a happy future together.

“It anything happens to my mother, Mr. Middleton won’t have as Middleton anymore. How could he find that 

Willam looked at her expressionless, but there was a flicker of displeasure in his eyes. Emelie felt a bit of satisfaction She smiled at him, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes. 

Wam picked up the hut she had offered and began to eat slowly, seemingly unfazed by the commation outside. 

Mona’s voice cut through the house, mele, are you there? We’re here! Don’t be afraid, we’ll get you out of there!” 

Themad worriedly, “Mr. Middleton, the police seem determined to enter the house 

Emele finished her juice calmly. 

william, on the other hand, wasn’t thrilled about involving the police. While he was confident he could handle the situation himself, Ashley’s presence added a lover of complication. Her reputation, connections, and capabilities were formålable. 

Hehamed to Emelle. Is there anything that you want, Mrs. Middleton?” 

Embertorted sarcastically, “I thought you were feeless, Mr. Middleton. 

Wilham smiled instead. “So, in your eyes, I’m invincible. But haven’t you noticed, Mrs. Middleton? I’m giving you a chance to make demands.” 

Witam placed some food on Emelle’s plate and said in a gentle tone, “After all, Mr. Middleton has pride. He wants to treat Mrs. Middleton well but expressing that directly is embarrassing So, he has to resort to creating excuses.” 

Emelie remained silent, utterly disgusted by his manipulative words.

The mald exclaimed, “Mr. Middleton.” 

Willam finallyconceded “Theycan come in. 

Right after the police officer counted “three,” Manaharged in. The maids weren’t able to stop her. 

Mona said. “Hey! You can’t just—” 

Emelie gat up from her seat. “Mona, Ashley, I’m here!” 

Mona ran toward her, engulfing her in a tight hug Eme! Thank goodness we found you! Are you alright? You’re not hurt, right? 

Emelle patted her back rewiringly and murmured, “Tmoky” 

She then turned to Ashley and nodded at her. “Hi, Ashley.” 

Ashley promised, “Don’t worry, Enelle. We’re getting you out of here.” 

Seeing William across the room, Mona instinctively stepped in front of Erle “Did he lock you up?”

Most people, in hearing Willan’s name, would run in the opposite demtion, not to mention bringing the police to his place. 

The poller alle addressed Williamsterly. “Mr.Middleton what is the nature of your relationship with Ms. Emelie? Why is she in your residence?”
