Chapter 199 Abandon Herto Save Himself
Meanwhile, in Capebatt City, Eliana repeatedly attempted to call Emelie without success.
Greta had passed out suddenly, and doctors rushed to resuscitate her.
Despite experiencing a similar crisis before, Eliana was even more frightened this time. Disregarding Greta’s instructions, she immediately called Emelle, hoping she would take charge.
However, Emmelie remained unreachable.
As Eliana prepared to call again, the doctor finished resuscitating Greta He approached her to explain the situation. “She’s stable now. The fainting was from cerebral hypoxia.”
“Is she okay now?
“‘s hard to say. Hypoxia can cause neurological damage, increasing post–operative complication risks. You should be mentally prepared.”
Eliana stared at him, confused.
What did he mean by complications? Did the surgery risk increase ap
cagain?
Did she make a mistake? Eliana’s hands trembled. No, she did nothing wrong
It was Emelle’s fault for not answering the phone.
Ellana understood nothing about surgery, beart transplants, and all that chaos Emelle created.
If she had her way, her elderly mother would live out her days. Spending tens or hundreds of thousands when they weren’t rich was madness. What a waste of That money should go to raising the children.
Any post–operative complications were all Emelie’s fault!

The bar belonged to Reggie
Jack and Max worked for him. That was why they had the drugs. People running entertainment places always have shady stiff
Reggie sent them to catch Emebe, but coincidentally, their bar was under attack. They thought Emelie wouldn’t escape on home turf.
But she managed to fee
Reggie ordered the bar locked down and searched everywhere.
When they couldn’t find her, they checked the surveillance footage. They saw she was in the supply closet and hadn’t left.
Reage and his men surrounded the door. Just as they were about to lock it, the door opened from the inside
William appeared, holding a woman wrapped in his coat, covering her face and upper body. But from her dress, both Jack and Max recognized her–it was Emelie! The drug wore off, but she had no strength
William shielded her so she was unable to see what was happening outside. She guessed that Jack and Max had arrived.
She tensed, seeing many pairs of feet around while William was alone.
Reggie’s tone was somewhat polite. “Mr. Middleton, what are you doing here? And in the supply closet of all places. This kind of place is unfit for your status.”
“Indeed, I agree with you. So, kindly step aside. Let me leave.” William’s tone was blunt, unafraid of being outnumbered.
Reggie’s expression shifted. He felt disrespected and humiliated. “Mr. Middleton, you’re free to leave. But the woman-
“What about her?” William asked fathe
Reggie chuckled. “Mr. Middleton, perhaps you don’t know, but this person is Emily. She’s been setting ‘honey traps here, leading to complaints from our customers. “They say we’re in cahoots with her. It’s caused us a lot of trouble. We’ve been looking for her, and now, seeing you with her, I’m worried. Have you been scammed too?! Emelie never imagined they’d frame here that!
“Please leave her behind, Mr. Middleton. We have things we need to clarity with her.” Reggie gestured, and Jack got Emelie. “Leave her, and I’ll escort you out myself.” There was a hint of threat in his words! If William didn’t leave her, he couldn’t leave, either!
At this moment, Emelie feared Witam would hand her over.
After all, they weren’t in a good relationship. Despite their recent in

William was also outnumbered, and Reggie’s group could have committed murders.
Abandoning her seemed sensible.
