Chapter 256 Release From Prison


    Enelle skimmed through the contract and noticed the agreed terms. The price was significantly below market value. She couldn’t understand how the Davis Group had agreed to this.


    She checked the signing date, which was just a few days after the corporate cruise. William must have offered Charles something valuable on that cruise to secure such a favorable deal. She recalled Charles asking for her as leverage, but she never went to him.


    So, she wondered what William had offered instead.


    Suddenly, it all made sense. William wanted her to work on this contract to show that he never intended to give her to Charles. The deal was about something else..


    Did she believe him?Yes. But, so what?


    William was hung up on this issue because she had used him of it when he first asked her toe back to him. He felt wronged, which is why he kept trying to exin. But their problems were far moreplex than just this.


    With a calm mind, Emelle closed the contract and set it aside. She <b>didn’t </b>bother toplete it, knowing his real intention was not the contract itself.


    She texted William to let her out. When he didn’t reply, she called him. He hung <b>up </b>and texted back, “I’m in a meeting.”


    Frustrated<b>, </b>Emelle knew <b>she </b>couldn’t confront him directly, especially since her mom still needed medical care for the next 72 hours. She had to y along.


    She called Eliana and asked if she had visited their mother in the hospital.


    Eliana responded, “Thaven’t had the chance yet. Did you know Dad’s out of prison? He broke his leg, and the <b>prison’s </b>van brought him straight home. I’m heading back to town to see him.”


    Emelle was momentarily stunned. Then she realized it must have been Vanessa. With everything going on with their mother, she had forgotten about their father’s release. Thankfully, Vanessa had kept her promise and had him released early.

    She told Eliana, “Go take care of <b>Dad</b>. I’ll visit Mom <b>today</b>. You don’t have to make the trip to the hospital. It’s exhausting to go


    Ena agreed. Despite it being an exchange of favors, Emelie felt grateful and decided she should thank Vanessa. She picked up the phone and made the call.


    Vanessa responded subtly upon hearing Emelie’s words. She murmured an acknowledgment and then smiled gently, saying, “I’m d he’s out. Make sure he heals that leg properly; don’t let it be asting problem.”


    Emelie expressed her gratitude once more, and Vanessa responded kindly, “No need to thank me. We’re family. By the way, your mom is still in the hospital, isn’t she?


    “I’ll send a little something through bank transferter as a token from Henry and me. Hopefully, it’ll aid in your mom’s speedy recovery. Be sure to ept it. Alright, then. Take

    Before Vanessa hung up, Emelie said, “Mrs. Middleton, you’ve done such a big favor for my family. When will you be free? Let me treat you to <b>a </b>meal”


    Vanessa considered her words with a hum and then said, “Do you want toe over to the house?”


    “I know a nice restaurant. I’d like you to try it,” Emele said.


    Vanessa understood the implication of her words–this meal would be just the two of them.


    “Okay, but I’ve been a bit busytely I contact you when things settle down.”


    “That’s fine, Mrs. Middleton. I’ll talk to youter,”

    Emelie yawned, shifted her position, and gradually drifted off


    Unbeknownst to her how long she had been asleep, she suddenly felt a crushing sensation on her lips, apanied by a hint of minty sweetness. She groggily opened her eyes to Und Wiliam’s Intense gaze upon her.


    Einelle instantly snapped awake. Before <b>she </b>could utter a word, William grabbed the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
