Chapter <b>533 </b>Under His Nose


    William looked at Charles.


    “If Ms. Hoven ends up in prison, she won’t be able to have any chances. Even making it out alive will be a matter of luck,” Charles seld with a smile.


    That way, Charles would <b>stay </b>clear of any <b>trouble</b>.


    William’s paze was <b>as </b><b>cold </b>as ice and as unyielding as a winter frost.


    “The evidence of Emelie’s crime?” he asked.


    Charles replied, “I don’t know the detalls, <b>but </b>it sounded pretty real when he mentioned it. You might want to ask Ms. Howen if she’s done anything shady in the <b>past </b>she might’ve left traces that could give someone leverige!!


    William’s demeanor subtly shifted to a darker tone.


    As Emelle returned to the suite, the waiter hadid out a table of delicious food. They stayed and dinedte into the night.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    while they left the Westward Club, Charles discreetly approached Emelie from behind. He then slipped a stiff, card–like object into her hand


    Emelle <b>instinctively </b>looked down. However, the lights in the Westward club’s hallway were dim with warm lights. It made it hard for Emelie to see what it was.


    She frowned and looked up at Charles.


    with his hands in his pockets, Charles grinned and said, “Consider this an apology gift<b>. </b>I didn’t mean it earlier.”


    William suddenly turned around to where they were.


    In a sleight of hand move, Charles suddenly held a diamond bracelet in his hand. “Twanted to give this bracelet to Ms. Hoven as an apology, <b>but </b>she declined it. Please ept it on her behalf, Mr. Middleton. Think of it as a token of my goodwill”


    William nced at it <b>and </b>added, “Emelie doesn’t need this type of stuff. You should keep it for your girlfriend, Mr. Davis, ”


    “The girl wanted is now married with a child. I’m afraid I’m not getting over this heartbreak anytime soon. Since Ms. Hoven doesn’t want it, I’ll just throw it away,” Charles said. He was as <b>indifferent </b>as ever. Without a second thought, he tossed the bracelet into the trash bin without even blinking


    If Charles was lying to William, it meant the card had something Wim shouldn’t see, and she was eager to find out what it was.


    After the pair lett the Westward Club and went back to Eastbay, Charles lingered at the entrance and started chewing some gum since he had quit smoking. Since Emelie reported him for indoor smoking to the police, he stopped using cigarettes


    Charles nonchntly chewed the gum. Suddenly, his phone can, and he picked up the call. It was his contact from the hospital.


    “Mr. <b>Davis </b>The woman in the DC has woken up the person said.


    Charles’s eyes narrowed instanthe


    “Are you sure?” heasked


    <b>“</b>It’s true! I saw her wake up with my own eyes<b>. </b><b>I’m </b>sure of it! But the ICU door is locked, and it needs a passcode. If we force our way in, it will definitely alert William,” the person faid


    So, the real question was did Wim know that drets had woken up?


    His men had been <b>monitoring </b>Greta’s condition. It was impossible for them to be unaware, right? However, Willians had never mentioned a word about it.


    Was hecovering for Greta? Or was he nning to use the ount book to control the Davis, Swanson, and Collins families?


    Charles recalled a few years back when a game called “Among Us” was all the rage. Was William shifting from a “crewmate” in a dangerous situation to an “imposter” <b>who </b>sabotages them?


    charles might be willing to let Emele slide, However, he couldn’t ignore Greta, who possessed the ount book.


    He spat our ther He needed to <b>discuss </b>this with Beathan and take on the best way to clear things up


    Later, Emelle returned to Eastbay. While William went to his study to get something, she quickly slipped into the bathroom.


    She retrieved the stiff card Charles had given her.


    It turned out to be a DVD. However, there were nobels on the DVD Emelie had <b>no </b>idea what was on it


    Emelie frowned and put it away, nning to finda DVD yerter to check it out.


    After she washed her hands, Emelie calmly emerged from the bathroom. In just a few <b>hours</b>, Emelie had figured out the passcode<b>, </b>coordinated with the nurse, and even got an tem from Charles. She did it all under William’s nose,


    In the midst of the hustle, Emelie <b>had </b><b>no </b>time to feel nervous. <b>But </b>as she reflected on the events, her heart started to race like a drum.


    “<b>What </b><b>are </b>you thinking about?” William’s voice cut through her thoughts.


    Emelie’s breath stilled for an <b>instant</b>. She walked past him with a nk expression, litted the covers, and climbed into bed.


    William was unbothered by her coldness.
