Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 833

When Elias saw that she was still sleeping soundly, he carefully slipped out of the room.

He pulled out his phone. When he saw that the caller was his secretary, he answered the call.

"Elijah, are you trying to forfeit your quarterly bonus?" Elias said.

"N-No, not at all!" Elijah stuttered.

Elias rubbed his throbbing temples and asked in a softer tone, "Then why are you calling me so early? Are you looking for trouble?"

Elijah was on the verge of tears. "But Mr. Undvike, Beathan was released on bail yesterday. Don’t you want to know about this immediately?"

Elias' hand paused mid-rub. The fatigue disappeared from his face and his gaze became sharp in an instant. "What did you just say?"

"Beathan has been released from the detention center. He apparently has some kind of illness and applied for bail on medical grounds," Elijah explained.

Elias pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek. "This happened yesterday, and you’re only telling me now? You really don’t want that bonus, do you?"

"W-We only just received the news... Mr. Undvike, what should we do?" Elijah asked.

"I'll discuss it with Emelie and let you know." Elias ended the call and immediately dialed Emelie’s number.

He didn’t care if he was going to wake her up. What he didn’t want for himself, he was all too happy to inflict on others. This was the life motto of the ever-difficult Elias Undvike.

As expected, Emelie was awakened by the call. She was still jet-lagged and had just managed to doze off.

She suppressed her irritation and asked, "What is it, Mr. Undvike?"

"Why isn’t Beathan dead yet?" Elias asked.

"If he were that easy to kill, he wouldn’t be Beathan," Emelie replied.

Elias was about to say something more when, suddenly, a hand reached out to take his phone. He turned around and saw that Ashley had gotten up as well.
