Chapter 714 Be a Little Less Heartless Towards Him

William went into a daze. He glanced down at his hand, which was still holding onto her wrist, and hesitated before pulling back. Then, he picked up the bottle and poured himself half a glass.

He held the glass in his hand and warned Emelie again. "I'm not joking with you."

Emelie replied, "Oh, Mr. Middleton, are you worried about me or Beathan?"

William's expression remained unchanged. "What do you think?"

He had the nerves to ask her that kind of question. Despite them being separated by just a small table, his dark eyes seemed veiled and shrouded in shadows.

It was tough for Emelie to discern whether William was merely asking casually or genuinely expecting her to give a specific answer.

"Isn't it obvious?" Emelie smiled. "Losing Charles was already a blow. If Beathan also falls, it must be quite uncomfortable for you, Mr. Middleton. Didn't you have a two-hour video call with Mr. Swanson just the other day?"

William paused. "How do you know that?"

Emelie shrugged. "I have a friend who's quite good with computers. He was bored and decided to challenge your defense system. It's top-secret level, no doubt. It took him over an hour to crack the system, but by the time he got in, your conversation was already over, so I didn't hear much."
