Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 382

They weren't that far away and arrived at the entrance of Redwood Gardens pretty quickly. After getting out of the car, Emelie headed straight into the neighborhood.

Lyle was sure that she was really marching off to war and trailed after her without hesitation.

Emelie ignored him and beelined toward Daphne's home.

However, all she saw in front of her home was William.

Emelie had a bad feeling about that and barged into the building immediately. Daphne's home was already empty.

She was trying her best to control the rising fury within her as she got out and looked at William. "Where are you hiding her?"

William then said, "She was not here in the first place."

"She isn't here? Then why are you here?" Emelie didn't believe a word he said.

Ashton told him everything, and he knew that she would come looking for Daphne. That was why he sent Daphne away before her arrival!

William frowned and said, "Emelie, this is a 'he said, she said' situation. What the caretaker said isn't necessarily the truth. If she could be bought the first time, she can be bought a second time."

"Are you saying that someone bribed the caretaker to frame Daphne?" Emelie asked before nodding. "Good. Then pray tell, Mr. MIddleton. Who bribed her? And why did the person want to frame Daphne?"

All William could do was stare at her as the frigid wind howled. Emelie smirked and said, "You don't know, do you?"

Her tone suddenly turned savage. "That's because Daphne is the one that did it!"

"Do you know how many times she's tried to screw me over? From framing me to stealing the heart that was meant for my mother, from ruining my reputation online to all the other things she did… I'm not the one who won't leave her alone, but she's the one who keeps antagonizing me.

"I have no more patience for this, William. Will you give her to me?"

William bit his lips. He approached her to hold her hand, as if he wanted to discuss this properly with her.

Emelie knew what he was thinking and pulled her hand away before he could touch her.

She didn't scream, nor did she pursue the matter. She only had one thing to say. "Fine. Don't come looking for me ever again."

William could feel a chill in his spine, and he wanted to stop Emelie when she simply turned and left. "Emelie, we've worked so hard. Are we going to give it all up because of this?"
