NovelBookChapter 744 What Are You Planning Against Daphne? William couldn't figure out who it was, so he decided to use a softer approach. "Stop teasing and just tell me." Emelie wasn't swayed by his attempt to charm her. She smirked slightly before turning to go downstairs. "Take care of yourself, Mr. Middleton. I'm leaving," she said.
William watched her until she walked out the door. He frowned deeply, still unable to piece it together. Patrice cup the stairs, carrying the get-well-soon gifts Emelie had brought.
She complained, saying, "You can tell that these were just grabbed from a random convenience store. A box of truffles for 15 dollars? It's probably just normal mushrooms!" William found it amusing too. Typical of Ms. Pierce, the queen of superficial gestures.
Patrice handed the gift to a maid. "William, you're just going to let her leave like that?" William turned to go back into his room. "What else should I do? Should I have asked her to stay for dinner?" "You two are stuck in this weird limbo. You just need a little push," Patrice muttered to herself.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Middleton. I don't quite understand what you mean." William rubbed his temples. "I can't remember if I've ever sent anyone abroad." After she thought about it for a moment, a person cto Ashton's mind. "Daphne Bowen. Over three years ago, you sent her to Sentiland, to be with your mother." At that moment, William felt as if he had been stuck by a flash of lightning.
He realized what was going on and immediately asked, "Has the travel restriction on Emelie been lifted?" Ashton replied, "Yes, it has. The driver confessed that Ms. Hoven only injured Frankie. After she escaped, they assumed he'd caused trouble due to his perverted habits. They ended up unintentionally beating him to death." The driver had already confessed, yet Emelie had just claimed that he was still being tight-lipped.
William held his breath. "So, can Emelie leave Capebatt City now?" "Yes," Ashton replied.
William hung up the phone abruptly and began searching for Daphne's contact information.
In the past few years, they hadn't been in touch even once. If Ashton hadn't mentioned her name, he would have forgotten about her entirely. That was why he couldn't remember earlier that he had sent someone abroad.
It was Daphne. William found her number and called her immediately, but there was no answer.
Then, he called his mother's caregiver. "Is Daphne there?" The caregiver replied, "Ms. Bowen took a leave of absence yesterday. She said that you asked her to return to Cedonia, so she's already gone back." Emelie had tricked Daphne into returning to Cedonia. On top of that, she had deliberately hidden the fact that she was free to move around again.
William had a bad feeling she was planning something against Daphne.
William hung up the phone and grabbed his car keys, heading out the door.
Patrice called after him, "Where are you going, William?" William didn't respond and just sped off, determined to catch up with Emelie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPatrice was baffled as he hadn't even taken his medicine yet.
Just then, her phone rang. The caller ID showed it was Bryan. She hesitated before answering.
Bryan was checking in. "Patricia, how's Mr. Middleton doing?" Patrice sighed, "He's not in good condition. He won't stay hand rest, insisting on going out. I couldn't stop him." Bryan asked, "Where did he go?" Patrice wasn't sure. "It seems to have something to do with Emelie. She was here earlier." Bryan glanced at his rearview mirror just in tto see William's car speeding by.
He narrowed his eyes. "I'm near Sunnington Hill and just saw Mr. Middleton's car. I'll follow him and see where he's going."
William had someone track Emelie's car and found out she was heading toward the highway Heg He guessed that she was planning to leave Capebatt City.
He floored the accelerator, and just before her car could get onto then highway he managed to cut her off, forcing her onto a gravel road nearby.
Emelie recognized William's car and cursed under her breath. She got out of the car and shot him a sarcastic ve remark. So, you were faking being sick, huh? A minute ago, you were half-dead, and now you're out here drag racing?" William got out of his car too. He walked toward her and asked, "Where are you going all by yourself?" Like RICH WOMEN?
