Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 603

Chapter 603 Wives and Mistresses 

Elias waited until she was done speaking before he responded. 

“I just don’t understand you. Your family is quite wealthy, and my grandparents are pretty open–minded. My dad doesn’t like you, so why do you cling to 

him? 

“Why don’t you just divorce him, takke half of his assets, and then go back home and enjoy yourself with a few young male models? Wouldn’t that be much more enjoyable? But no, you insist on sticking to this one person. You really lack ambition.” 

If it were Ashley, she would’ve divorced him and found a new boyfriend long ago if he hadn’t been shameless enough to make her pregnant and hold something over her head. He wouldn’t even have a chance. 

Why couldn’t his mother learn from his wife? 

“Dream on!” Maya sneered coldly as bears streamed down her face. “The Undvike family wasn’t as prestigious back when we first got married as it is 

now. 

“Back then, I had to lower myself to marry him. He sweet–talked me, claiming that having a virtuous wife would help him achieve his ambitions and that I would bring him great fortune as one. And what did I get from that? 

“Ever since the Undvike family flourished, he brought in one woman after another. He even brought those two sluts and their bastard children into our home. How could I be content? I drag him down with me even if I die!” 

Elias sighed. “You wish to take him down with you, but I don’t. Neither Ashley nor her unborn child will become tools in your fight. Give it up.” 

Just as Maya was about to say something, a maid suddenly walked in and said, “Mrs. Undvike, Mr. Elias, lunch has been served in the main hall.” 

“Did I ask you to speak?” Maya scolded. 

The maid quickly lowered her head 

Ellas clicked his tongue in annoyance. Why did Maya have to take it out on the maid? He waved his hand to signal to the maid to leave. 

Regardless of whether you’ve signed Maya wiped away her tears angrily. “As long as I’m alive, I won’t allow that bitch to be so smug! Elias, listen to me. an agreement or not, you must secure the Thornton family’s inheritance. Otherwise, you can watch me hang myself in this house!” 

Then, she stood up and walked away. 

Elias tossed the peanuts in his hand back into the fruit bowl, making a clattering sound. He didn’t look happy. 

He checked the time. It was almost 11:30 am. It was time for him to bring lunch to Ashley. 

He got up and prepared to leave. 

However, he suddenly thought about how Maya was in a bad mood that day. After all, Sadie Cassidy being pregnant again was unexpected. There was no way that the lunch was going to be peaceful. 

Gritting his teeth, Elias called a maid over and told her to deliver the lunch to the law firm. After that, he went to the main hall. 

In the main dining hall, a man and three women sat at a large round mahogany table. They were a husband, a wife, and two mistresses. 

Elias‘ father, Rowan Undvike, had indeed risen to prominence early on with the help of his wife’s family. Later, his career flourished, taking off like a 

cocket 

With wealth came power, and with power came influence. No one dared to oppose him anymore. 

He even dared to forget the support of his wife and her family and then brought his mistresses and illegitimate children into the Undvike family. This was a huge slap in the face to his wife’s entire family. 

Elias had been annoyed by this family strife since he was a child. He found it meaningless, low–class, and even absurdly laughable. Still, Maya was his mother at the end of the day. 

He walked over and set in the empty seat. 

Then, Sadie, who was pregnant, sald with a smile, “Ellas, you’re back. Did you come alone? Why didn’t you bring Ashley with you?” 

Maeve Keller, the second mistress, chimed in, “Yes, since you both got married, Ashley has never come home for a meal. I haven’t seen her since the wedding day.” 

Elias was already annoyed that he couldn’t have lunch with his wife, and now they were hitting his sore spot. The irritation on his face became mo apparent. “Why should my wife be here for you to see?” 

Maya’s eyes were fixed on Rowan as she s 

e said coldly, ” her presence”
