Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256 Release From Prison 

Enelle skimmed through the contract and noticed the agreed terms. The price was significantly below market value. She couldn’t understand how the Davis Group had agreed to this. 

She checked the signing date, which was just a few days after the corporate cruise. William must have offered Charles something valuable on that cruise to secure such a favorable deal. She recalled Charles asking for her as leverage, but she never went to him. 

So, she wondered what William had offered instead. 

Suddenly, it all made sense. William wanted her to work on this contract to show that he never intended to give her to Charles. The deal was about something else.. 

Did she believe him?Yes. But, so what? 

William was hung up on this issue because she had accused him of it when he first asked her to come back to him. He felt wronged, which is why he kept trying to explain. But their problems were far more complex than just this. 

With a calm mind, Emelle closed the contract and set it aside. She didn’t bother to complete it, knowing his real intention was not the contract itself. 

She texted William to let her out. When he didn’t reply, she called him. He hung up and texted back, “I’m in a meeting.” 

Frustrated, Emelle knew she couldn’t confront him directly, especially since her mom still needed medical care for the next 72 hours. She had to play along. 

She called Eliana and asked if she had visited their mother in the hospital. 

Eliana responded, “Thaven’t had the chance yet. Did you know Dad’s out of prison? He broke his leg, and the prison’s van brought him straight home. I’m heading back to town to see him.” 

Emelle was momentarily stunned. Then she realized it must have been Vanessa. With everything going on with their mother, she had forgotten about their father’s release. Thankfully, Vanessa had kept her promise and had him released early. 

ru back and forth.” 

She told Eliana, “Go take care of Dad. I’ll visit Mom today. You don’t have to make the trip to the hospital. It’s exhausting to go 

Ellana agreed. Despite it being an exchange of favors, Emelie felt grateful and decided she should thank Vanessa. She picked up the phone and made the call. 

Vanessa responded subtly upon hearing Emelie’s words. She murmured an acknowledgment and then smiled gently, saying, “I’m glad he’s out. Make sure he heals that leg properly; don’t let it become a lasting problem.” 

Emelie expressed her gratitude once more, and Vanessa responded kindly, “No need to thank me. We’re family. By the way, your mom is still in the hospital, isn’t she? 

“I’ll send a little something through bank transfer later as a token from Henry and me. Hopefully, it’ll aid in your mom’s speedy recovery. Be sure to accept it. Alright, then. Take 

cure. 

Before Vanessa hung up, Emelie said, “Mrs. Middleton, you’ve done such a big favor for my family. When will you be free? Let me treat you to a meal” 

Vanessa considered her words with a hum and then said, “Do you want to come over to the house?” 

“I know a nice restaurant. I’d like you to try it,” Emele said. 

Vanessa understood the implication of her words–this meal would be just the two of them. 

“Okay, but I’ve been a bit busy lately I contact you when things settle down.” 

“That’s fine, Mrs. Middleton. I’ll talk to you later,”
