Chapter 66 Drugged
That night, it was as if William couldn’t get enough of her. He left behind several bite marks and bruises
on her waist.
Lost in a trance, Emelie heard him whisper in her ear, “How did I not notice this before? You’re quite the
seducer.”
Assuming he was talking about Jeremy, Emelie found It ludicrous and chose not to respond. She simply shut her eyes and let him carry on as he pleased,
The next morning, Emelie was up early as usual.
As she got out of bed, a sense of unease washed over her.
Soon after, William also rose from the bed. He gave her a quick glance before heading straight to the bathroom without saying anything.
His movements were swift, and as Emelie finished applying her makeup and headed out, he followed suit.
The two of them left the hotel without exchanging a word.
William’s driver arrived to pick him up at the hotel entrance.
After getting into the car, William said, “Wait a sec.”
Meanwhile, Emelie left the hotel and noticed William’s car, yet she decided to hail a taxi instead.
The driver stole a quick glance at William in the backseat.
With a blank expression, William uttered, “Let’s go.”
The morning carried on like any other for Emelie at work.
As she coordinated tasks with one of her female colleagues, she happened to notice some director’s documents on her colleague’s desk.
“Hey, what’s up with these?” Emelie asked casually.
Her colleague quickly hid the documents and chuckled nervously.
“Oh, it’s nothing… By the way, what were you just saying?”
Emelie suspected that William had assigned her the task involving the documents and stressed the importance of confidentiality, which prevented her from elaborating further.
Deciding not to pry, Emelie silently acted as though she didn’t know.
As she returned to her workstation, Emelie couldn’t shake the feeling that her colleagues were giving her strange looks.
Not one to typically pay much mind to others‘ stares, she initially shrugged it off and focused on her tasks at hand.

However, as the stares persisted and grew more noticeable, she couldn’t help but feel unsettled.
It was at that moment when Melanie leaned in close and whispered discreetly, “Emelle, they’re saying you slept with a client to seal a deal…”
Emelie’s brows furrowed. “Wait, what?”
“I didn’t start the rumor. I just overheard it. I don’t believe you’d do something like that, so I felt I had to tell you. You should figure out where it’s coming from.”
Though Emelie wasn’t too bothered by how others saw her, she knew this rumor could significantly affect her future prospects.
That was something she couldn’t tolerate.
During her lunch break, she took some time to investigate and soon found out where the rumor originated.
It turned out to be Cindy.
Once again, it was her.
After her previous failed attempts to manipulate and cause trouble, she resorted to spreading rumors.
Emelie asked her colleague, “Where’s Cindy?”
“She’s in the break room…”
In the break room, a group of people huddled together, gossiping in low voices.
“Since Ms. Hoven returned from Vinetown, her standing has taken a hit, but I never thought she’d resort to something like this…”
“Her contract with Cloudex Corporation is about to expire, and if she doesn’t start meeting performance targets soon, Cloudex Corporation won’t renew it.”
“But I never thought Ms. Hoven would do something like that. She’s the head secretary, after all…”
“You never really know someone’s true colors. She slept with Mr. Ramsey last night. There’s solid evidence!” Those last words came from Cindy.
Emelie smiled, but it was one devoid of warmth.
She had given Cindy a chance, but Cindy insisted on provoking her,
Now, Emelie would make sure Cindy learned just how far she was willing to go to fight back.
She pushed the door open with a bang, and everyone turned to look at her.
Emelie put on a look of feigned shock and exclaimed, “Is what you guys were saying true?”
Caught off guard by Emelie’s sudden appearance, a few of her colleagues‘ faces froze before turning awkward.
“We didn’t say anything…”

Emelie looked incredulous. “You’re saying I slept with Mr. Ramsey? But I don’t remember any of that.
“Could Mr. Ramsey have drugged mo? I had water from his company yesterday. Maybe there was
something in it!”
Her colleagues didn’t dare to entertain her accusations.
They quickly shook their heads. “We don’t know anything. It was all Cindy!”
Emelie turned to Cindy and asked, “Did you see Mr. Ramsey put something in my drink?
“Well, you better tell the police everything later. Whether I get justice or not is all on you, Ms. Mitchell!”
“W–What police? What are you talking about?” Cindy seemed utterly bewildered.
Emelie took out her phone and walked out of the break room Into a busier area. She dialed 911.
“Hi, officer. I need to report a crime. I think someone drugged me, although I have no memory of it. But there’s a witness here who says she has solid evidence to prove I was unlawfully harmed.
“I’m Emelie Hoven, the other person involved is Jeremy Ramsey, and the witness is Cindy Mitchell. We’re at Cloudex Corporation, 19th floor.
“Yes, both Cindy and I are here, waiting for you to arrive.”
Her conversation on the phone was loud enough for her colleagues to hear.
They gathered around, asking what was going on and why the police were called.
William and Jayden came over at that exact moment. William’s eyes locked onto Emelie.
“What’s going on?”
Emelie shrugged. “Cindy said Mr. Ramsey spiked my drink, so I figured I’d better call the police.”
