NovelsBestChapter 767 Mr. Middleton, SaveWilliam's voice was colder than the lingering winter chill. "Mr. Swanson and Mr. Collins, it seems you've keptout of the loop. Why didn't you informof such an entertaining show in advance?" Beathan responded with a sincere expression, "Mr. Middleton, you haven't been feeling well recently, remember? We thought that it wasn't a big deal, so we didn't want to disturb your rest." He paused before continuing with a smile. "Besides, this is our way of apologizing to Ms. Pierce. It didn't seem directly related to you, so we decided not to bother you with it. Now that you know, it's the same." These were, of course, mere excuses.
William didn't take the bait and ignored this clumsy attempt to smooth things over. He asked, "Mr. Collins and Mr. Swanson, did you not do your research before sending this gift? Daphne is my mother's caregiver." Bryan pretended to be surprised. "I had no idea that you two were connected in that way. We honestly didn't know. We only heard that Ms. Pierce was searching for this woman everywhere, so we thought that we'd do her a favor." "Exactly." Beathan chimed in.
Then, he turned to Emelie and said, "Ms. Pierce, I think we've had smisunderstandings that have caused sunpleasantness between us. Why don't we clear the air tonight, taking advantage of Mr. Swanson's family dinner?" Emelie sat down on the sofa and crossed her legs. "Mr. Collins, are you referring to the issue with Mount Cinnamon?" Beathan nodded. "It was all due to my secretary's reckless actions, and I failed to supervise him properly. Ms. Pierce, I owe you an apology." He pushed all the blonto Jake.

Beathan gestured to the box. "Ms. Pierce, if you accept this gift, how about we consider the matter settled?" Instead of answering, Emelie asked, "And what about you, Mr. Swanson?" Bryan, who maintained his composed demeanor, replied, "Ms. Pierce, since our principles align so well, why don't we deepen our cooperation? It would also put an end to the speculation about any discord between us." A hint of a sarcastic smile played on Emelie's lips. She stood up and walked over to Daphne, reaching out and removing the blindfold from Daphne's eyes.
At first, Daphne squinted, struggling to adjust to the light.
When she finally made out that the person in front of her was Emelie, her eyes widened in a mix of confusion and terror, and she immediately began to moan in distress. However, with her mouth taped shut, she couldn't make a sound.
Daphne frantically looked around. When she saw William, her eyes lit up with the desperate hope of seeing a savior. She struggled and made muffled cries for help.
Emelie chuckled softly. "Begging him won't do you any good. You're now a gift from Mr. Swanson and Mr. Collins to me. Your fate is in my hands." Daphne's face turned ashen.
"Even though you and Mr. Middleton have a history, I doubt Mr. Middleton கிம் would be so uncouth as to try and take my gift from me, right?" Emelie glanced at William. William stared back at her. "What are you planning to do?" "I want to get to the bottom of something that has been botheringfor a long time," Emelie replied.

She crouched down to be at eye level with Daphne. "Daphne, I won't make a fuss over the little tricks that youn played before, I just want to know one thing. Four years ago, we had no grievances, we didn't even know each other. So, why did you order Frankie and the others to kidnap and traffic me?" Daphne was so shocked that she couldn't utter a word. She never imagined that after all these years, this matter would be dug up and that Emelie would find out.
Her terrified gaze darted from Lyle to Beathan, then to Bryan. All three of them were seated on the sofa.
Even if she didn't fully grasp Emelie's current status, the sheer gravity of the situation made it clear that Emelie was no longer someone she could easily manipulate. After a couple of muffled sounds, Emelie ripped the tape off Daphne's mouth. Daphne blurted out, "Mr. Middleton! Save me! Please, save me!" X
