Ashton advised, "Mrs. Middleton, you should be cautious. Mr. Middleton is the backbone of both the Middleton family and the Cloudex Corporation. If something happens to him, you won't get anything." Ashton briefly paused and added, "Also, Ms. Hoven is alive." What? "That's impossible!" Vanessa blurted out.
Ashton elaborate any more and followed William with the others.
Vanessa stood there frozen as she pondered what Ashton had said. Alive? Emelie wasn't dead? How could that be? She had seen it herself.
"Mrs. Middleton..." Vanessa's confidant steadied her wavering body.
