Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232 She Dared to Raise Her Voice at William 

When Ashton arrived with the clothes, Emelle swiftly changed, Ignoring William’s presence. After that, she opened the door and hurriedly left the hotel. 

The night had already enveloped the city. As she walked, she booked her flight on her phone. 

The earliest one was in an hour and a half, but it would take an hour to get to the airport. Emelie took a deep breath, trying to stay calm as she booked her ticket and called for a cab 

It was rush hour, and there were over 30 people ahead of her in the line. Emele couldn’t hail a cab on the street either. 

Emelie stood alone on the roadside of an unfamiliar city. The night sky pressed down heavily, enveloping her in darkness. Neon lights from nearby shops illuminated her bewildered face. 

Just then, a car pulled up in front of her. “Get in.” 

It was William. At this moment, Emelie didn’t have the luxury of considering much else. She quickly opened the door and got in. 

The car immediately sped toward the airport. William looked at her tense jaw and asked, “What happened to your dad?” 

Emelie didn’t even think twice before snapping. “Don’t talk to me!” 

Ashton, who was driving the car, couldn’t resist stealing a glance at the rearview mirror. Her perception of Emelie was transformed. She truly was remarkable, daring even to raise her voice at William. 

Emelie booked a last–minute ticket, but only business–class seats were available. Once on the plane, William sat next to her, but she paid him no attention. She closed her eyes and tried to gather her thoughts. 

Three hours later, at 9:30 pm, the plane landed at Capebatt Airport. Emelie was the first to disembark. Her destination was clear as she headed toward the cabs in the basement. 

Halfway there, William grabbed her hand and pulled her over. “Get in my car. Do you want to be driven around by those cab drivers like some tourists at a time like this?” 

Emelle pursed her lips. William’s driver was waiting at the airport entrance. Once in the car, Ashton asked, “Whereto, Ms. Hover?” 

“Starlight Law Firm.” 

The driver inputted the name into the navigation system and soon dropped her off at the law firm’s entrance. Emelle got out of the car and rushed inside, 

Willam watched her retreating figure from the car and adjusted his cufflinks. He said calmly, “Find out what happened with her dad.” 

Ashton replied, “Yes, Mr. Middleton.” 

The car then drove away. It was well past 10:00 pm, and the law firm had already closed. Ashley had waited for Emelie, knowing she was coming. 

Seeing Emelie looking tense and cold, she handed her the freshly heated milk. “Take a few sips to warm up” 

Emelle held the glass with both hands, feeling the scalding heat searing her palms. She asked, “How did this happen?” 

Ashley explained over the phone that Ronan had gotten into a fight with another inmate in prison, leaving both of them injured and hospitalized. 

“I don’t know why they fought, but your dad has a broken lett leg, and the other inmate had his head injured. They’ve both been treated at the hospital 

“But most importantly, inmates who engage in tights during their sentence, especially those who cause serious injuries, may be seen as incorrigible, which can result in an extension of their sentence.” 

As Ashley finished, Emelie’s hand trembled. The milk overflowed from the cup, scalding her skin, but she barely felt it.
