Chapter 255 Familiarize Yourself 

William hesitated for a moment before answering the call from Daphne. Her panicked voice came through urgently, “Mr. Middleton! I think I hit someone while driving, what do 1 do now?” 

Torrowing his brow, William asked, “Where are you?” 

Tmat.” she said, her voice trembling as she gave a location. “Mr. Middleton, I’m really scared..” 

William turned off the water and firmly said, “Don’t be afraid, I’m coming over right now.” 

He quickly changed into fresh clothes after leaving the bathroom. Glancing back at Emelie in bed, he saw she was still asleep. Without lingering, he headed out, 

The door closed loudly, briefly walking Emelie. She realized that it was William leaving but was too tired to react. She rolled over and tell back asleep. 

Her last waking thought before slipping into deeper sleep was how good it was that he was gone. 

Emelie slept past 9:00 am the next morning. Eastbay was quiet, and William hadn’t returned yet. Just as she was about to leave after getting ready, William called. 

Go to the study and check the top file on the desk. Look at whose signature it is at the end. Since you have nothing planned today, go ahead and tamiliarize yourself with that file and your new tasks,” William Instructed 

Tve already left Eastbay early this morning, Mr. Middleton,” Emelie replied as she stealthily walked toward the door. 

As she reached for the handle to open it, Willan’s mocking laughter came through the phone. The next moment, the door locked with a click. 

Emeletroze. She tried to tum the handle, but it wouldn’t budge 

“Did you think Eastbay wasn’t under surveillance? William’s mocking woke carried through the line, 

After a moment of hesitation, Emelie adjusted her approach “Mr. Middleton, since I’m not officially part of Cloudex’s staff yet, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to handle your documents” 

“Didn’t you catch the first few words I said?” William retorted. She understood he wanted her to familiarize herself with her new tasks. 

“Please open the door.” Emelie twisted the doorknob a few more times, but William’s cold voice came through the Intercom, “The remote lock has been activated. You’re not leaving today.” 

Emelte sighed heavily and turned toward the study. As she reached the door, a sudden realization struck her. “Wait, does the living room have surveillance?” 

William nonchalantly responded with a casual “Mm–hmm. 

Emelie felt her body tense up gradually. “How often does the video footage get overwritten? 

If they weren’t automatically overwritten, all those times in the dining room and on the couch could have been recorded. 

The air she breathed felt icy cold. Memories flooded back to the days when William had used the photos to manipulate her. 

William caught on to the meaning behind her question. He coldly said, “Emelie, I don’t have a habit of sharing intimate photos. The video footage is automatically overwritten after 30 days. And even if it didn’t, I wouldn’t use it against you. What are you afraid of?” 

Emelie trusted he wouldn’t share their intimate photos, but she knew he could use it to manipulate her. 

William seemed to have a knack for telepathy. He sneered, “Think about it. What have lever blackmailed you with? I made you breakfast, kept you working, and ensured that you got hospital treatment. Aren’t these all for your own good?” 

Emelie’s inner self screamed that it wasn’t just that. He had even made her shower him. Emelie couldn’t stand how he had twisted the truth. “If I hadn’t thought that you had photos that one time, I wouldn’t have agreed.” 

“Did you enjoy that day? William teased.
