Winning Her Heart Back

 Confess To Her Yourself

William said, "Kingston is the name of Emelie's biological brother. She has been searching for him all these years. There's no way you wouldn't know that, Mr. Graham.

"Yet, when I mentioned his name, your first question was, 'Who are you calling?' instead of, 'Did you find Kingston?" or "What happened to Kingston?'

A cold glint seemed to solidify in Wesley's eyes. "Do you think that I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you, Mr. Middleton?"

"Are you planning to silence me?" William scoffed. He carefully removed the small bones from a piece of fish, his actions unhurried.

William continued, "Too late. I've already told Emelie everything I know. And you know she's not the kind of person who would accept being kept in the dark.

"She will seek out the truth no matter what, unless you somehow manage to change your DNA. Otherwise, she will find out."

Wesley's jaw tightened, his expression hardening. Fury filled the air around him.

The butler took a few steps back. He was intimidated by them, but also because he thought that he shouldn't be listening to this conversation.

William lifted his gaze, his eyes glinting dangerously. "You have another option, and that is to confess to her yourself before she uncovers the truth through cold, hard facts.

'Wesley, you should know that once her suspicions are confirmed, she will be devastated, as well as disgusted

The last word hit Wesley like a tidal wave, and he suddenly let out a cold laugh. "I don't understand what you're talking about, Mr. Middleton."

William narrowed his eyes.

Wesley picked up a napkin and wiped his hands while looking at William. He said clearly and coldly, 'I shared this meal with you because you protected Emelie. But staying here? Impossible. This is Emelie's and my marital home, and we don't welcome outsiders."

He tossed the napkin aside, stood up from the table, and said to the butler, 'Ensure Mr. Middleton is well taken care of. See him out after he finishes his meal.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

The butler bowed his head. "Yes, sir."

Wesley headed straight upstairs.

William's expression remained cold. If it weren't because he wanted to lessen the blow that Emelie would inevitably face, he wouldn't have bothered to say anything to Wesley.

He set down his cutlery, intending to go upstairs to find Emelie.

However, the butler stopped him. "Sir, Mr. Graham instructions were to leave after you finished eating." "Then kindly inform Ms. Pierce that I'm leaving," William said calmly. "Whether or not she wishes to come down to see me off is entirely up to her.'

The butler decided that this was reasonable after some thought. He signaled a servant to go upstairs.

Five minutes later, Emelie appeared at the top of the staircase.

William smiled. "Ms. Pierce, will you see me off?"

Emelie hesitated for a moment but walked down the stairs and accompanied him out of the main house, heading toward the estate's entrance.

William informed her that he would be staying in Mercianna for a while to recover from his injuries and that he would be staying at a certain hotel. He told her that if she needed anything, she could call him or visit him.

Emelie glanced at him, considering asking if he needed her to recommend a doctor. But then, she

remembered that this was William. Finding a doctor, even in a foreign country, would hardly be a challenge for him. So, she didn't bother asking.

Instead, she said, "I'm not going to bother you. Once you've recovered, you should return to the country. The mess at the Xanther Group is getting worse by the day. You'll have your hands full, so take care of yourself."

William wanted to discuss the same matter with her. 'There's an old saying, 'Old institutions die hard.' From what I know of Beathan, he won't go down without a fight."

Emelie frowned. Beathan had already been taken into custody by the police. What was William talking about? William added, "Don't forget, the people who came after us were sent by Natalia, not Beathan. He's the most cunning lawyer, a master at exploiting legal loopholes. There's a chance he could find a way to defend himself and escape once again."
