Chapter 485 Maddening
âHow could you to me? She loved you so muchâ¦So much! She even bought a vase to put the flowers you bought her. She was so happy the day you went to get your marriage restdicate registered. How could you!â Greta cried out.
Willamchickled iconicallyâ so, she wonât be walking away with someone else.â
Greta frantically demanded, âWho is she with/where is she?â
William only had one question. âWhere is the ledger?
Greta was only worried about one thing âWhere is me?
William repeated his question once again. âWhereâs the ledger?â
His emotionless bone was maddening, Greta was losing her mind.
In an instant, Gretaâs emotions crumbled.
She was desperate to protect her daughter, and she struggled against these holding her back Despite her efforts, she couldnât gone William
He looked down at her with an indifferent demeanor, clearly dominating in this exchange
Gretaâs hair was disheveled as she thrashed and screamed. âWhat did you do to Eme? How could you do this? Killing Mr. Pierce wasnât enough? Now you wonât even spare his only daughter! What kind of monsters are you?â
Aheart monitor was strapped to Greta. And as her heartbeat spiked, the monitor began berping wildly.
William slightly pressed his lips together and repeated his question for the third time. âThe leden. Where is it?
Greta was overwhelmed with guilt, regret, and sorrow. She couldnât believe she had allowed her daughter to marry
Gretaâs face was streaked with tears, and her visions tumed dark. The alarm from the monitor grew increasingly rapid, creating an onsettling atmosphere.
Ashton couldnât help glancing at William.
William subtly furrowed his brows, but from a closer look, there was almost little to no reaction from him.
Gretaâs face was red yet pale as she glared at William âEme doesnât anything. She really doesnât. Please donât hurt her. If you have to come after me.â
Gretaâs words trailed off as she collapsed, and the monitorâs screen flatlined with a finalberg.
Ashton was taken aback âMr. Middleton!â
William turned around and left the wind. âCall the doctors.â
âYes, sir!â Ashton said.
The ingred Eights in the hospital room were chaotic and blinding Wet, William caught a glimpse on the clock on the wall
There was a subtle green dot on the clock, as though a predatorâs eye was watching from the shadows

On the other end, Charles cheered and applauded. âMr. Middleton indeed lives up to his reputation. You can even feel the intensity of his accidental gaze through the screen.â The pinhole camera was secretly installed without Wilâs knowledge. If William had known, Charles wouldnât have been able to tell if Will had gone to ask Greta for the ledger.
The Middleton, Davis, Swanson, and the Collins families were now allies. Despite that, trust among them wasnât absolute.
charles rested his legs on the desk and casually grabbed a bunch of gripes, enjoying the moment. âAfter all, Mrs. Hoven is Williamâs motherâinâlaw. He knows sheâs ill and canât handle stress. And heâs still being so bluntâ
â he ends up pushing her to her breaking point, howâs he going to explain it when Ms. Hoven reens Charles Joked.
Beathan saved the fiveâminute surveillance footage and replayed in
Charles eyes him. âWhatâs the matter?â
For some reason, Beathan found Williamâs approach edd. âHeâs too direct.â
Charles was confused. âHow else could he have done it then?â
Beathan took a sip of his tea, narrowing his eyes behind his glasses. âJust Be you said, the pushes her to her breaking point, he might never find out where the ledger is.â Charles chuckled dismissively, âWell, seems that you donât know Mr. Middleton that well with his status and personality, has he ever been nice to anyone?
Was that so?
Beathan pondered as he held his teacup
Meanwhile, Charles spat out the grape skin he was chewing, not seeing any issue. âFrom Mrs. Hovenâs reaction, it seems Ms. Hoven really doesnât know anything about the ledger.ââ
Bethan glanced at Charles.
Charles clicked his tongue. Though he and Beathan were close, he was annoyed by Beathanâs overthinking.
Hepa Beathan a nuder with his leather shoe and added, âWhatâs on your mind?
Beathan smirked and held the cup finaly in his hand. âHmmm. Letâs just sayâ¦I prefer to the up all loose endsâ
ly âbuse madh,â he meat eliminating all possibilities.
Whether Inele knew about the ledger or not, it would be better to get rid of her. They had to prepare for the worst
