Chapter 163 Attention

Thankfully, Emelle, being self–reliant, didn’t require anyone to baby her or offer consolation.

Even when her emotions hit a breaking point, she would let them flow freely. Once those pent–up emotions were released, she moved en

She took a deep breath and slowly calmed herself down.

she knew there was no need to push. She’d give it another shot and would definitely get back on her feet.

William didn’t feel like returning to his room, so he decided to head downstairs. He pressed the button for the lower doors.

When the elevator reached his floor, and the doors opened, he found jayden inside.

Jayden quickly noticed the red marlon William’s face and the floor number. His eyebrows raised slightly. “Did you go to see Ms. Hoven?” William calling Emelie “Ms. Hoven” was intended to mock her, whereas Jayden’s use of the same term was simply out of habit.

Why did this habit develop? It was because Emelie had been by William’s side for three years.

As this realization dawned on him, william’s expression tumed even colder as he stepped into the elevator. Jayden, being his best friend, could read him like a book “Things got heated? Did Ms. Howen land the slap?” William remained stoic “Seems like she thought she could climb the social ladder and forgot who she really is.” Jayden wondered if William was talking about Emelie and Samuel, He rubbed his nose. “Will, have you noticed.

“Have you noticed that since Ms. Hoven left, or more precisely, since she started getting closer to Samuel, you’ve been paying more attention to her?” William replied, “I just find them both annoying.”

Hayden shook his head knowingly. He believed it was because William used to be certain that Emelie wouldn’t leave him. He was convinced she only had eyes for him, so he felt mulnerable.

But now, with Emelie’s actions, it was crystal clear–she not only left but also found herself another man.

William’s ever–the–top attention and behavior were signs of being called and lost.

But William just thought Jayden was being lovesick A lovesick person would see romance in everything.

William saw Emelie as someone who owed him, believing she wouldn’t find peace until she settled whatever debt he imagined she had.

However, when it came to Samuel, he begrudgingly admitted, “He’s really getting on my nerves.”

Jayden’s eyelids twitched “Who? Samael? What’s your plan? You can’t just act impulsively. Remember, he’s the son of the Swanson family from Weston.” A markingsmark played on William’s lips.

about an incident at the Capebatt City laboratory, and he had to rush back

The following morning, Samuel informed Emelle ab

Hur with the project starting that day and the tech team ready to collect data, Emelle couldn’t go with him.

Emelie couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t just a coincidence. It seemed orchestrated by William with the sole purpose of delving Samuel away.

He had started to meddle in her social life. His comment about her being destined to end up alone was dead serious

Emelie gritted her teeth, but the situation had unfolded, leaving only Samuel to return to Capelatt City to handle the laboratory. Emelie had to stay behind to record data, ensuring work proceeded without delay,

“It’s alright, you head back I’ve got things covered here,” Emelie reassured him.

Samuel furrowed his brow, “Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

Not wanting Samuel to get involved in her situation with William, Emelie forced a smile. “Of course, it’s just recording data. I’ve always managed that well, haven 112

Samuel’s expression darkened. It was an uncommon sight to behold. “Once I’ve taken care of things at the laboratory, I’ll be right back.”

“Alright,” Emelle replied.

Once Samuel was on his way, Emelie tumed and saw William walking out of the hotel with Ashton

Even though William didn’t look her way, Emelie couldn’t shake the easy feeling enveloping her.

She couldn’t quite explainit, but it felt like his timely arrival was an attempt to assert power. It was as if he was silently saying, “See, I have ways to make you laten to me.”

After standing still for five minutes to hotel manager.

Melvin, the hotel manager, promptly arrived. He was aware of the Importance of their guests.

“Hello, Ms. Hoven. What can do for you today?” he greeted.

Emelle got straight to the point. “I was talled in your hotel.”

Chapter 163 Attention

Melvin was visibly surprised. “Tailed?”

“Yes, it happened last night at nine. I was recorded in the 17th–floor corridor.”

“That… that can’t be true, can it?”

Emelie provided a detailed account.

“The person even pretended to be a guest in room 1702, saying their key didn’t work and asking the hotel attendants to open the the time. Otherwise, I don’t want to imagine what might have happened if he had entered.”

Melvin promptly checked with the hotel attendants, James and Arthur, who confirmed the incident.

Melvin offered a genuine apology, saying, “Ms. Hoven, I’m truly sorry for your unpleasant experience during your stay with us.

“However, our elevators require a room key to access floors. Without a key, one cannot reach that floor. Could it be possible that

“I’m not sure, which is why I’m asking you to retrieve the corridor surveillance footage from that time and show it to me.”

That was Emelie’s objective. She needed to find out if someone was really tailing her.

And if so, who could it be?
