Chapter 645 Different from Before

William had a suspicion. He held Emelie's hand, feeling and counting each of her fingers hidden beneath the gloves.

All five fingers were intact. He closed his eyes, relieved that it wasn't as he feared.

Emelie watched him with a cold gaze, mocking his feigned concern with a sneer. She reached out with her other hand, and Jodie placed an envelope on it.

As Emelie withdrew her hand from William's, she handed him the envelope. "As I said, let's save the small talk for another day. Let's focus on business now. Since you signed the contract so swiftly, here's another gift for you, Mr. Middleton. It'll help you turn things around in style."

The envelope was heavy, and its contents were substantial.

However, instead of checking its contents, William asked, "When would that day be?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Middleton. I'll be staying in Capebatt City for quite a while. We'll have plenty of time." Emelie stood up, having put away the contract. "I'll go help you clarify things now."

With that, she left the east parlor with Jodie.
