Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 686 Suppressing Himself

Emelie gestured for Jodie to check the area thoroughly. Then, she turned to William, putting on an act of gratitude.

She said, "With so many of us here, we must've been a nuisance, Mr. Middleton. Once we leave, we'll pay you back for any supplies we've used."

William didn't argue. Instead, he pulled a watch from his pocket and put it on. "Whatever you say."

"Well, we won't keep you from resting, Mr. Middleton," Emelie said.

William knew that she was implying for him to leave. So, he retreated to his room next door.

Once Jodie finished inspecting, she reported, "Ma'am, there are no pinhole cameras or listening devices found."

Emelie opened the cabinet beneath the bathroom mirror. She found towels, toothpaste, toothbrush, and disposable underwear.

As she took a pack of the disposable underwear out and examined the packaging, she noticed the production date. It was from three years ago.
