Sent Her Away
In the end, William didn’t respond to Ellas‘ suggestion. Instead, he continued drinking until way past
midnight
Elias spent the night at Westward Club while William had one of the servers drive him back to Eastbay. being the clean freak he was
William was nearly drunk at this point. He stumbled even as the server carefully helped him upstairs. William then lay on the couch, resting his aching he
The server was afraid William might fall ill if he left just like that. He didn’t want to bear such a burden, so he asked William hesitantly, “Mr. Middleton? Do help you.”
William grew irritated by the server and tossed him his phone. “Call Emelie Hoven and tell her to come
over.”
The server flipped through William’s call history and called Emelie’s number. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
The first call went unanswered. The server surmised Emilie had fallen asleep by now, given it was nearly 2:
00 am.
The server called again. This time, someone answered the call just before it ended. The speaker was a woman. She sounded like she had just been roused from her sleep. “Who is this?”
“Hello, is this Ms. Emelie Hoven? Mr. Middleton is drunk and requested your presence over here in Eastbay,” the server hurriedly said.
Emelie paused briefly and looked at her phone screen.
It really was William.
She didn’t check who it was as she had answered the call on instinct.

The server continued, “Are you still there, Ms. Hoven?”
Emelie then hung up the call.
The server was taken aback. He quickly called Emilie’s number again, only for the operator to inform him that the call didn’t go through.
The server turned awkwardly to William and swallowed nervously before saying, “Mr. Middleton, Ms. H-

William slowly looked up, his gaze cold and dangerous.
The server tensed up. He was about to say something else when William uttered, “Leave.”

Why did William still think he could instruct her to take care of him now that things had come to this? Was it because he was used to it?
Whenever William got a hangover or a headache back then, Emelie would always find a way to deal with… it for him as long as he gave her a call. It didn’t matter if she was outstation. She wo
In retrospect, Emelie felt like she’d been blinded back then. Her behavior had been both foolish and lowly.
The next morning. Emelie continued job–hunting.
She’d already surveyed the available jobs, but this time, she was considering the non–local ones first.
Emelie had never considered leaving Capebatt City because she was a local here. She lived her entire life in Capebatt City, save for studying at a college in another city. People often found it hard to part with their hometowns, after all.
Capebatt City was also one of the major metropolises in the world where one could make big progress. Emelie shouldn’t downgrade herself by leaving town just because she’d ended a job and a “relationship“.
But what William said at the Spencer residence last night began changing Emelie’s mind. She truly felt that it was better to leave and to stay the hell awa
Several non–local companies had contacted her already. Emelie considered all her options before deciding on two similar ones.
A couple of days later, Mona suddenly leaned into Emelie while she was putting makeup on for an interview and asked, “By the way, do you know what h
Emelie replied flatly, “What happened?”
“Mr. Middleton Senior sent Daphne away.”
Emelie’s hand trembled slightly in the middle of drawing her eyeliner.
