Simply put, she ended up being his tool again.
She was nothing but a tool for him to show off his status Samuel looked away and casually took a sip of his cocktail.
His friend, Nathan, raised an eyebrow. "Are you interested in that diamond necklace, too? You seemed quite focused on it." Samuel smiled. "Yeah, it caught my attention." Nathan continued, "Really? Then why didn't you join the bidding earlier? "Wasn't that William Middleton from the Middleton family? They've got quite a reputation, especially lately.
"But the Swansons from Weston aren't exactly behind either. If you really wanted that diamond necklace, you could have given him a run for his money." Samuel chuckled, "No worries, there's always tomorrow." Nathan glanced at him, then turned his gaze to William and Emelie, as if he had figured something out.

Lost in their conversation, they failed to notice Elias sitting behind them, who managed to pick up most of what they were saying.
When William got up to use the restroom, Elias followed suit.
"Hey, Will." William glanced back, and they both made their way to the restroom.

"You might be new here, but I'm sure you've heard the rumors, right? It's pretty common for people to switch companions behind the scenes." Samuel furrowed his brows.
"The women brought onto this ship are basically up for grabs. William must be aware of this unspoken rule.
"If he's okay with bringing that woman aboard, it probably means she's not from a high-class background.
"She doesn't meet the Swansons' standards." Nathan shrugged casually. "So, maybe it's better to just have sfun with her here instead of taking things too seriously."

Oddly enough, several boxes of condoms were prominently displayed on the bedside table. It was as if they were deemed essential for the room's occupant.
Emelie remained composed. “Mr. Middleton, I'll just sleep on the couch." William loosened his tie. He was unimpressed by her attempt to dodge the situation.
"You haven't shared a bed withbefore?" Emelie held her breath, "Mr. Middleton, as I've mentioned, that night at the hotel would be the last time.” William gave her a wry smile. "Are you overconfident? Or do you just not trust me?"

William looked at her coldly for a few seconds before responding. "Suit yourself." He went straight into the bedroom. The door slammed shut behind him.
Fortunately, the suite had two bathrooms.
Chapter 70 Sant If Emelie couldn't get into the master bedroom, she could still use the other bathroom to freshen up.
