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

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, take 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 tears 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'll 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.

Elias 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.

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. Regardless of whether you've signed 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.
