In fact, Emelie was worried about disturbing Ashley and her husband.
Ashley saw through her concerns. She added, “I had sarguments with my husband lately, so I've been
staying at my own place. It's justalone.”
Hearing that, Emelie agreed and left the firm with Ashley. They soon arrived at Ashley’s apartment, which was
just a ten-minute walk away from the firm
Emelie took a hot shower and changed into the pajamas Ashley lent her before finally laying down to rest.
However, the sudden news about Roman weighed heavily on her mind. Restless, she couldn't sleep well the

“Emelie!” Ronan Imed to sit up but winced in pain as he accidentally moved his broken leg.
“Don’t move,” Emelie hurried over to support him.
A guard nearby barked, “1765, stay sti!!!”
Despite the pain, Ronan instinctively replied, “Yes, Sir!”
Emelie’s nose tingled. Gritting her teeth, she helped him settle back.

Emelie paused and sighed. “I don’t even know him. He was just trying to provoke you, and you fell for it.”
Emelie couldn't figure out why Leonard would go out of his way to anger her father

Emelle held her breath. Leonard was one of the lackeys from the group that had entrapped her family with debts.
He was also the lackey of the guy who had specifically demanded her as collateral.
