William was the one who had killed Emelie with his own hands and ordered her body to be thrown into the sea. He should be the person who was most certain that she was dead.

Jodie noticed that Emelie had been standing there for too long and called out to her.

Emelie replied coldly, "Find us a hotel to stay in. We'll return to Capebatt City in three days."

"What?" The fact that they had William's spies around them was serious.

Jodie quickly complied. "Yes, I'll do that!"
