Chapter <b>312 </b>You Provoloed Me


    William fixed a cold state on Emelie. “Weren’t you the one who insisted on repaying me for the ride?”


    Emelie clenched her teeth, and without hesitation, William elerated. He swiftly navigated around a sharp bend in the mountain road.


    Emelie wasn’t prepared for the sudden eleration. Her body mmed into the door, and the seat belt snapped her back into her seat


    Although it didn’t hurt much, she felt deeply aggrieved. Her eyes reddened as she red fiercely at William.


    Williams tightened his grip on the steering wheel and eased upon the elerator. His tone was less than pleasant as he said, “I never knew you had such a temper. I can’t go along with you, but I can’t go against you either.”


    If these words had been spoken by someone else, they might have sounded more amodating, like “Tean’t do anything with you“, or “how can I satisfy you“, or even “you leave me with no options“. <b>But </bing from William, Emelie only felt his impatience.


    Emelie’s usual demeanor tended toward quiet reserve, but when her body felt unwell, her emotions and temper inevitably surfaced


    For instance, back in Wimstour City when she skipped several meals and had <b>a </b>stomach <b>ache</b>, everyment from William would provoke <b>a </b><b>sharp </b>retort from her.


    This time was no different.


    She sneered and remarked, “Mr. Middleton, I find your actions rather perplexing When Mrs. Matilda questioned me, you wouldn’t even confirm that you were with me in the nursery all night and that I didn’t poison anyone.


    “Yet, at <b>Elena’s </b>urging to help me, you willingly spoke at length to Mrs. Navarro. But now, you’re driving out here personally to chase


    se after me. Don’t you think your behavior is rather contradictory?”


    “Are you ming me for not testifying for you?” William’s demeanor grew colder. “Then, why didn’t you tell Mrs. Matilda that you were with mest night?


    Emelie had mentioned Maria, the maid, and even the bodyguard, but she had omitted any mention to him. Despite this, she had the audacity to me him for his silence.


    Emelie pursed her lips in response and then <b>said</b>, “Even if thad mentioned you, you wouldn’t <b>have </b>supported me. So, why bother?”


    <b>William’s </b>expression tumed icy, “What did you just say?”


    Emelle stood her ground. “I mean, even if I had brought you up, you wouldn’t have supported me. Am I mistaken? You’re not like Mr. Swanson. You won’t stand by me without a


    <b>reason</b>.


    “And if you did stand up for me, you’d want something in retom. What good is that kind of assistance?”


    William’s voice lowered. “Do you really see me in that light?”


    “Oh? You disagree?” Emelie countered. “me your “glorious achievements” for leaving me with such a stereotyped impression. I’ve never thought that Mr. Swanson could be like that clearly, the issue bes with you.”Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Mr. Swanson, Mr. Swanson, Mr. Swanson. She just wouldn’t let it go!


    William’s expression turned frosty as he abruptly mmed on the brakes. The car came to a sudden halt on the slope, tilting forward.


    Emelie lurched forward from the inertia but managed to <b>grab </b>the handle just in time to prevent herself from falling out.


    Anger surged through her. As soon as she got into his car, he purposely jostled her like that. Her head was already spinning, and she felt nauseous.


    Witam’s voice resonated angrily in Emelie’s ears as he said, “So, this explosive attitude of yours right now is because of Samuel?


    “If <b>you’re </b>so fond of him, then why didn’t <b>you </b>ept his confession? Why didn’t you try to dissuade him from going to Eprand?”


    How did William know she had turned down Samuel’s confession? How did he know about Samuel going to Eprand?


    Well, it didn’t matter.


    Regardless of how he knew, Emelie didn’t want to be in his <b>car </b>right now. <b>She </b>preferred to risk her life halfway up the mountain than endure his relentless provocation. She reached for the door handle immediately.


    William saw her determination to find Samuel, <b>and </b>anger surged within him. He grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her back. Emelie had no time to react before he gripped the back of her head and kissed her forcefully.


    Emelle was already feeling dizzy, and his forceful action left her breathless. She promptly pushed him away, utilizing the cramped space in the car to her advantage, which made it


    hard for William to restrain her.


    Breathing heavily, her eyes reddened. “You <b>said </b>you wouldn’t bully me again!” she eximed.


    William’s eyes darkened. “This doesn’t count. This time, you provoked me.”
