As William listened to her nagging, the smile on his face never stopped.
Just then, William’s phone rang.
William was cutting something, so he said: “Help me receive it.”
“I’m so sorry.” As Elise White spoke, she eagerly ran over to get his cellphone, “Hello, it’s not convenient for William to pick up the phone right now, may I ask if you need my help to tell him anything?”
There was a strange silence.
Elise White could not help but prick up her ears to hear what was going on.
After all, there weren’t many people who could have William’s private number, and it must have been someone close to him.
William did not hear Elise White’s voice, and turned his head to look at her doubtfully, only to see that she was still holding onto her phone, “Give me your phone, okay?”
“Alright.” Elise White immediately placed the phone beside William’s ear.
She could clearly hear the person on the other end of the phone gasp when William spoke.
It was a woman’s voice.
“I am William, who is this?”
This time, the person on the other end of the line didn’t fall silent. A rough female voice sounded, “William …”
William’s face changed slightly, he picked up his phone, nodding his head to Elise White, then walked to the balcony of the hall and picked up the call.
“Phoebe Clarkson?”
“You didn’t expect me to call you?” Although Phoebe Clarkson’s voice was coarse, it was very clear.
“What do you want to do? After being mysterious for so long, have you finally decided to come out personally? ”
“Is that how you think of me?”
“Otherwise? Have you called Tyler Walter? Tell that you’re still alive. ”
“I just want you to know.”
“So you’re trying to keep my wife at work, right?”
“She has my position, shouldn’t I do something?!”Phoebe Clarkson’s voice was excited, it sounded coarse and hoarse.
“Your position? When did I ever give you the illusion? ”
“You …”
“Phoebe Clarkson, I don’t care what you want to do, as a friend from when I was young, I am happy to know that you are still alive. You still treat me as a friend, so you should just stop using these trashy methods and live your life properly. If you can’t do it, then just hide in a dark corner and stay there. After William finished speaking, he realized that his words sounded more and more like that little girl.
William did not wait for the person on the other side of the phone to reply, and directly hung up.
Within the villa.
Natalie held onto the phone that stopped talking, “What is the purpose of my calling? Phoebe Clarkson has long been removed from William’s life. ”
The masked man chuckled, “Then there’s no value in your existence.”
Natalie looked at the man in surprise. When she saw the blade in his hand, she shrieked and quickly retreated.
“You, what do you want to do?”
“You no longer have any value. Rather than living like this, it’s better to die early. In the next life, you should be smarter. ”
“This is a crime… If you kill me, you won’t live either. ” Natalie said with a trembling voice.
“I will help you make your dream come true, and make it difficult for William and Elise White.”
Natalie shook her head violently as tears rolled down her face from fear, “I don’t hate William and I don’t hate Elise White either. It has nothing to do with me whether they are good or not. I’ve decided to start a new life, and you don’t have to bother them. ”
The masked man paused his steps, “Originally, I wanted to let you live. Now… You should just go and die! ”
The last sentence had a kind of ambiguous meaning to it.
Amidst Natalie’s terrified eyes, a sharp, bright light flashed across her eyes …
A sharp siren sounded in the silent night.
William and Elise White had just settled down their grandfather and grandmother, as well as their parents.
Hearing the sound of the siren, Elise White’s eyebrows jumped, “Did something happen near us?”
William smiled, “They are coming for me.”
“What?” Elise White looked at him in puzzlement.
While they were talking, the police car had already stopped in front of the villa.
Zhac Martin jumped off the car, walked in front of William and took out the arrest warrant, “Mr. William, please come with us.”
“Who’s dead?” William asked indifferently.
“Natalie.”
William nodded and patted Elise White’s shoulder, “Don’t worry, I will be fine. You can pacify the others at home. ”
“Riche …”
“Be good, I’m fine.” After William finished, he walked calmly onto the carriage.
Zhac Martin raised his eyebrows, and thought: Is there any time for a man like William to lose control of himself?
Elise White took two steps forward, “Zhac Martin, what’s going on with my husband? What had happened? Why would Natalie die? ”
“You can ask legal examiner in two hours. She should be done with the autopsy in two hours. I’ll go back to the station first. ”
After Zhac Martin finished speaking, he got into the police car.
The police cars retreated like the tide.
Edward Brich, Rebecca Brich, Emman, Emily White and the rest all heard the sound and came down, only to see Elise White standing alone in the courtyard.
Elise White adjusted her facial expression, and turned to look at her parents, “Dad, mom, don’t worry. After a few misunderstandings, William went over to cooperate with the investigation and quickly returned.
“Dad, I’ll have to trouble you to go back to the company these few days to take a look. I can’t help with the company’s matters, do you think I should do some crisis PR to stabilize the stock holders?”
Edward Brich was very satisfied with Elise White’s calmness, “I will take care of the company’s matters. William has made both of you worry. As his father, I apologize to you here. ”
“Edward, you’re too kind. There must have been some kind of misunderstanding. ” Emman said.
Edward Brich shook his head.
Elise White took out her phone to look at the time, “Mom and Dad, you guys can go up to rest. I’ll call my friend in charge of this case and find out what’s going on. It’ll be up to tomorrow at the earliest. This isn’t something that can be solved by just a few more people staying up all night. Just give me a chance as a junior and I can occasionally get some presence. ”
Rebecca Brich could not help but laugh: “This kind of matter is something that men should handle.”
“Mom, maybe you’re right. “Let me do something like staying up late, I can ask you guys to help me with other matters that are outside my capabilities.”
Emily White saw that Elise White was adamant, and said: “let’s just listen to Elise. We’ll deal with the other matters tomorrow. ”
Only then did Edward Brich and Rebecca Brich go upstairs. Emman and Emily White stayed behind to accompany Elise White and sit in the living room.
Elise White said, “Dad, mom, it’s almost time, you guys should go to sleep as well.”
Emily White caressed her hair, “We will accompany you.”
Elise White snuggled into Emily White’s embrace.
