Chapter 239 Confident That She'd Return

Seeing him, Emelie still couldn't hide the complex emotions on her face. William's voice was cold. "You know you should feel guilty meeting her behind my back." Emelie paused, calmed herself down, and retorted, "Why should I feel guilty?" William pushed aside the coffee cup Vanessa had used. "What were you discussing with her?" "Do I need to report to you?" Emelie averted her gaze, focusing on her phone as she kept trying to turn it on. She thought if it still wouldn't work, she'd have to get it repaired. Considering the timing, William could easily guess the topic of her conversation with his mother. "Your father's fight could extend his sentence. Did you ask her to help reduce his punishment?" Emelie's phone still wouldn't turn on, even with the power bank connected. Outside, the rain poured harder. Emelie felt the world was in chaos, and she was missing something crucial. Her mood turned sour. Frustrated, she decided to leave. If the phone wouldn't work, she'd buy a new one.
