<b>Chapter </b>398 Green–<b>Eyed </b><b>Monster</b>
After Emelie hung <b>up</b>, she was still leaning against the wall.
Back when she was soaking her legs <b>in </b>the hot spring pool at Lakeside Vi, <b>she </b>had already heard from Elena that Wesley was going to acquire <b>a </bpany back in <b>the </b>country. He was going to use <b>a </b>shellpany and move all his business from overseas back here.
She didn’t think too much about it at the <b>time</b>. But after Samuel told her this, <b>it </b>could only mean…
Was he <b>really </bing back<b>?</b>
<b>The </b>back of Emelie’s head was also close to the wall as she raised her head, remembering what happenedst year on New Year’s Eve.
She had also met Wesley on that New Year’s Eve which made William so obsessed.
Wesley woulde back to the country every once in a while, <b>so </b>it wasn’t like she didn’t have a chance <b>to </b>see him at all.
However, she didn’t notice William, who was standing by the room door as she was lost in her thoughts and gazing into the distance.
William looked at how nostalgic Emelie was. At that moment, he really wanted to know what she was thinking about.
However, it wasn’t long before Emelie’s phone rang again. This time, it was Ashley.
Emelie picked it up. “Ashley?”
Ashley said, “Jeremiah and Lindsay contacted me again. They want to have lunch with you.”
Emelie then replied calmly, “I’ll lose my appetite if they’re right in front of me.”
However, she didn’t refuse to see them. “Change it to three in the afternoon.”
Ashley was surprised that she was willing to see them. “You’ve changed your mind.”
Emelie looked at the floor and said, “Ashley, can you please prepare a settlement agreement? Put down 15 million dors for the amount. If they agree to it, then I’ll agree to a settlement.”
Ashley was shocked. Emelie was so against the ideast night. How did she manage to have a change of heart <b>so </b>soon?
That being said, it was good that she was willing to ept a settlement and end this matter once and for all. She hung up after acknowledging it.
Emelie was getting tired from standing and headed to the living room.
It was then did she see William standing by the door.
After being sick for the entire night, he still looked a little tired. He was wearing a wrinkled shirt and a pair of wrinkled pants. He was seemingly surrounded by gloom as he stood
in the shadows.
Emelie paused before saying, “I’ve asked room service to deliver something to eat. It’ll be here soon.”
William asked, “You agreed to a settlement? Why?”
“Because it’s the best option.”
“You didn’t learn about it today and you refused to ept itst night, but you’re willing to after a call from Samuel?”
While he had a feverst night, he wasn’tpletely out of it. The first question she asked him was how much he was willing to add to Elena’s settlement. She was extremely aggressive back then.
He even believed that Emelie would never ept this settlement. He had alreadye up with ideas on how to deal with the Allens so they wouldn’t even think about touching Emelie.
But just a call with Samuel made her change her mind.
No one could persuade her, but a mere call from Samuel did it.
Did he underestimate the weight Samuel had in her heart?
William believed that Samuel’s call was to ask Emelie to ept the settlement. That was why he had such a sour face. He thought Emelie agreed to the settlement because of Samuel.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
“You were eavesdropping?” Emelie frowned.
William scoffed. “Please, you knew I was in your room.” He was not deaf, after all.
Emelie pursed her lips and ignored him. Ultimately, she was still doubtful of his three exnations to her this morning. However, she had no time to give it more thought.
She walked past him and went back to her room to put on makeup.
William was right behind her and said, “You don’t have to ept it. Don’t worry about the Allens. They can’t touch you as long as I’m around.”
Emelie looked at him through the mirror’s reflection and said, “Are you simply trying topete with Samuel or are you really supportive of me not taking the settlement?”
William nodded. “I can’t bear seeing you swallow your pride andpromise.”
Emelie then said, “Haven’t <b>I </b>swallowed my pride andpromised enough around you?”
William let out augh. “I’m the one that’s doing the swallowing andpromising right now.”
Emelie went silent.
She disregarded him and continued to put on her makeup. She heard the doorbell ring in between and William went to open the door. It was most <b>likely </b>room service. After she was done, William was already eating in the dining room.
Emelie didn’t even say anything to him as she left.
She was going to have lunch with Ashley and discuss the settlement.
William felt somewhat ufortable about how shepletely ignored him.
Chapter 398 Green–Eyed Monster
Emelie wasn’t like that in the past.
William was taken aback at his own thoughts.
He missed how they were in the past.
He finished up the bowl of oatmeal without much expression on his face and then made a call. “Samuel isn’t busy enough. Make him busier.”
So that he had no time to look for Emelie.
The person on the other side nodded and said, “The one from overseas reserved a flight back. He’sing back the day after tomorrow.”
William’s eyes narrowed as he smiled. “Then make it impossible for him to return.”
Emelie and Ashley met at a restaurant and discussed over lunch.
Ashley suddenly remembered something and took out a small box of pills. She popped out two pills and washed them down with lemon water.
Emelie was worried. “Are you sick?”
Ashley didn’t avoid the conversation. “It’s birth control pills.”
Elias wanted to make her pregnant. She didn’t know what his intentions were, but as long as he refused to sign that agreement, she would never get pregnant.
