    On the second floor of the bar, William found himself in an endronment he disliked


    He hardly went to Lyle''s Westward Club, known for its quiet atmosphere, let alone purely entertainment venues.


    That day was an exception as someone invited him, only to find out it was a bar when he arrived.


    Nheless, he sat in the booth, legs crossed, ignoring the drinks ordered for him. When thirsty, he simply grabbed an range from the fruit tray.


    with deliberate and graceful movements, he split it into segments and savored each one.


    William skipped the shirt today, wearing a ck turtleneck sweater under a dark brown suit jacket. In this lively ce, he stood out, yet he maintained his cool and alost demeanor. "Mr. juste, your wish for a discussion was unnecessary. Thepensation for the demolition was settled long ago, with a standard rate for all viges. I can''t offer any additional funds privately."


    Despite the deadening music downstairs, he remained calm. “Besides, this project involves three otherpanies, so I alone can''t make the decision."


    "Mr. Middleton, it seems you''re treating me ke an outsider, sing an official tone, aren''t you?"


    The man grinned. "We all know that while this project involves three partners, Mr. Middleton, you brought in Friedenhaus Corporation. Initially, Swanson Corporation only had a 20 percent stake. From start to finish, it''s all under your control


    "it isn''t about how much you''re willing to add. We re just asking for a small amount, like the cost of a car for you. Once you pay, we''ll leave right away. If there''s any further dy, Mr. Middleton, you''ll suffer significant losses in the project''s progress."


    William ted his gaze.


    Though Baggle Juste didn''t have moch standing, he was a crook


    He encouraged vigers in Blossom dove to tear up the agreedpensation deal, renegotiate for higher terms, and profit from it.


    Normally, someone like this wouldn''t interest Willian. However, due to the suspicious death in Blossom Clove, he suspected Reagle''s involvement, prompting him to meet with


    william''s lips curved, but there was no genuine smile. "I''m truly helpless."


    Reggie dropped hiske smile. "Mr. Middleton, this is awful society. If we''re unluppy and choose not to leave, do you really think you cane here and threaten us?" William chuckled, finding the notion of a lovil society amusing.


    Downstairs, the noise was typical for a bar. Wim stood up and approached the railing.


    The DJ on the round stage was ying music, and people on the dance floor were happily dancing and jumping with their hands up.


    William walked away to evade Roggle As he nced below, he was surprised to see a familiar figure on the crowded dance Boot He narrowed his eyes to get a better look


    Emelie suspected there might be drugs on the cloth the short and the tall person used to cover her mouth and nose.


    Despite pushing them away quickly, she still breathed in some of it. The drugs worked fast, making her feel dizzy and her steps lighter.


    As she stumbled, she bumped into someone nearby and got swept into the dance floor.


    Emelie wanted to leave, but the crowded room made it difficult. The two men didn''t give up. They squeezed through the crowd, trying to reach her. Pressing her lips together, she went in a different direction, Suddenly, a familiar female voice, mixed in with the music, reached her ears.


    "Don''t push me! I want to leave! Let me out!"


    Emelle looked closely and saw Mnie among the crowd under the colorful lights.


    "She''s still here?" Emelie murned to herself!


    With Mnie in sight, Emelle thought, Mnie''s here, so Samuel is probably here too. She removed her scart as she felt hot while looking around. Even though she didn''t see Samuel, Emelie Jelt saler with someone familiar nearby. She made her way toward Mnie and called out, "Mnie_*


    The skinny person grabbed Emelle''s arm tightly and yanked her backward, trying to pull her out of the dance floor.


    Emelie fought to free herself, shouting for help, but her cries were lost in the noise. She reached out to someone nearby, but they were too caught up in the music to respond.


    She was surrounded by people, yet no one helped her. The suffocation felt worse than being abandoned in the wilderness.


    As she was being dragged away, Emelie grabbed a beer bottle from a nearby person and smashed it into the skinny person''s face.


    The bottle shattered.


    At that moment, she didn''t care if the ss hurt anyone eke, She''d cover any medical costster it necessary.


    The skinny person cried out and released her. Emelle changed her strategy and pushed herself back into the dance floor


    She knew that being alone outside would be far more dangerous.


    Amidst the chaos, she suddenly spotted Samuel and telt relieved. "Mr. Swanson! Samuel!" she eximed.


    However, Samuel didn''t hear her.
