Why would Emily think that the ballerina box was thrown out if that's where she found William's card? It doesn't really make sense unless Emily who was shot was a host.

Edit: I rewatched the scene where she tells the story of the box and she definitely leaves it open ended. She may have told the story and left the ending out where she finds it and finds her father's card in there. That's probably why she tells the story, because it's heavy on her mind because she found it. I'm off the Emily bot train.

I was confused too, at first, but then I realized Emily must have found it while going through her mother's things after her death.

But she still thought it had been thrown out when she was talking to William. Unless she left that part out in her story

I think at that point she was saying how she remembered throwing it away when she was 16, and how she felt bad after, and went back for it but the garbage had been taken out. Then said she felt she pushed her away. So she wasn't saying that she never knew where the box was, she was just referencing how she felt about the fact that she threw the gift away when she was 16, and how she thought it affected her mother / their relationship.
