Chapter 19 You Can Try
William said coldly, “You don’t just think it’s a pity. You even think I’ve wronged her. Haven’t you always thought we’d end up married?”
Aside from William’s parents, Jayden had asked him when he planned to marry Emelie before.
Jayden said pointedly. “Ms. Hoven is an exceptionally attractive young woman. Now that you’ve set her free, countless people have set their eyes on her. I’m just worried you might regret things in the future. Ms. Hoven could very well be swept away by someone else by then.”
William said lightly, “She won’t.”
“She won’t be with someone else? Are you that certain?”
William scrutinized Jayden briefly before saying. “You can try your luck if you’re interested.”
“You fucker,” Jayden scoffed before making his horse trot ahead. But he did understand why William was so confident. After all, Emelie had been too obedient to William’s bidding for the past three years.
William was all that mattered to Emelie. She even spent her free time around him, rarely having any personal space to herself. No wonder William was so confident no one else would snatch Emelie away and that she’d always do as he bid.
William probably only thought Emelie was throwing a tantrum out of jealousy due to the presence of Daphne.
But that possibility wasn’t impossible. Maybe that was what Emelie was trying to do. After all, the lover
Emelie had for William was so apparent that only a blind man would be oblivious to it.
Regardless of what William might think, there really were a lot of people setting their sights on Amelie. After they disbanded, Troy sought Jayden to get Emelie’s phone number.
Troy was a playboy and naturally flocked to beautiful women. He had long set his
es on Emelie but
never made a move because of William. Now that their relationship had ended, Troy was eager to try and
seduce her.
Troy wasn’t fussy about not pursuing women who’d been with his friends. It wasn’t like Emelie actually dated William anyway. Heck, gangbangs were a thing. What more a relationship such as theirs?
Jayden didn’t give Troy Emelie’s number, but Troy still found a way to obtain it. He immediately dialed the
number.
Emelie answered softly, “Who is this?”
Troy shivered from the wave of delight at the sound of her voice. “Ms. Hoven!”
Emelie’s brows furrowed slightly. “Yes?”
“I’m Troy Spencer. Do you remember me?”
Emelie recalled who he was. Troy was William’s friend. “Hi there, Mr. Spencer.”

“I heard you’re changing jobs, and I happen to require a secretary, so why don’t you come and work for me? I’ll pay you double!”
“What do you work as?”
“Well, I’m about to take over my father’s company. Argh! It’s difficult to explain over the call. Troy swiftly Invited her out, “Why don’t we have dinner tonight? My treat.”
Emelie didn’t want to. “Thank you, Mr. Spencer, but I’m still busy and won’t be able to join you.”
“Where are you exactly? I can pick you up, and we can head right to dinner. It’s not inconvenient for me at all. You need to eat regardless of how busy you are, right? Troy asked. He wasn’t receptive to social cues or polite refusals. He was always incredibly persistent.
Emelie didn’t want to offend Troy, so she said, “I’m near Bohr Tower.”
“I’ll come over right away!”
Emelie had gotten a checkup at a hospital near Bohr Tower. Troy soon drove over in his especially extravagant–looking Ferrari.
Troy retracted the Ferrari’s roof and took his shades off while whistling at Emelie. He was the spitting image of a wealthy millennial heir.
They went to a restaurant for dinner. When the server handed them their menus, Troy handed his to Emelie and said, “Why don’t you order for us?”
Emelie didn’t shy away from the offer and took the menu. “Is there anything you’re not fond of eating. Mr. Spencer?”
“Nah. Order away.” Troy’s eyes were glinting as he looked at Emelie. Only God knew how captivated he was by her when he first met her, not only was Emelie gorgeous, but she even had a naturally voluptuous
body!.
But because William had been by Emelie’s side before, Troy hadn’t dared approach her and instead spent the whole night sneaking looks at her.
Now Troy was going to use his chance to win Emelie over!
So after Emelie finished ordering, Troy said eagerly, “Why don’t you join me, Emelie? I’ll pay you however
much you want!”
Emelie was taken aback for a moment before her expression grew cold. She was about to ask Troy what he meant when a man and woman stopped by their table.
The man called out, “What a coincidence, Ms. Hoven.”
Emelie looked up and got to her feet. “I could say the same, Mr. Feyd.”
It was Feyd Ryder.
Troy stayed seated and said in a peculiar tone, “Oh, it’s Mr. Feyd. Are you out on a date with your girlfriend?”
Foyd could hear how provocative Troy’s tone was. They were of the same social status. Hence, they were familiar with one another’s thoughts and expectations. Feyd could tell that Troy had set his eyes on Emelle. Since Troy was now Feyd’s love rival, the latter naturally had to rebut.
“We’re just colleagues. Don’t go around thinking just any man and woman are together all because you have tons of lovers yourself, Mr. Spencer,” Feyd said.
Troy rose to his feet, hand slamming on the table.
