Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 608

Sadie was pleased. She held up a finger and said quietly, "We're going to take it one step at a time. First, we make sure she loses the baby, then we push for the divorce, and finally, we get rid of her while she's weak from the miscarriage."

If Ashley were to die while still married to Elias, her inheritance would go to him as her husband, which would be bad news.

Having reached an agreement, the two women leaned back in their bamboo chairs and fantasized about a future in which one would control the Undvike family and the other would secure the inheritance.

Since the masseuse was deaf and mute, they spoke without fear of being overheard. When the massage was over, the two women went to the restaurant for a meal.

The masseuse quietly tidied up the room and restored it to its original state.

Then, she headed straight to the observation deck.

This resort hotel was nestled in the mountains, surrounded by lush trees and babbling streams. The observation deck, situated on higher ground, offered a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. Every guest would make it a point to visit and capture the breathtaking scenery.

However, there were only two people on the viewing platform at the moment.

The masseuse approached with her head down. A slender man was seen sitting in a wicker chair with a small tea table beside him. He held a purple clay teapot and was enjoying a moment of leisure, sipping tea and reading a book.

The masseuse paused behind the man before calling him out. "Boss."

Beathan lifted his tiny teacup, and the tea excluded a faint aroma. As he took a measured sip, the masseuse reported the conversation she overheard in the massage room. A dark glint flickered behind his glasses.

Getting Ashley to miscarry and divorce Elias was acceptable.

However, taking her life was not.

Since these fools had delivered themselves to him, he would use them to accomplish the first two tasks.

Beathan set his teacup down with a light clink. The masseuse withdrew, and his assistant stepped forward. "Keep a close watch on the Undvike and Thornton families over the next few months."

"Understood."

Charles, shuffling in his slippers, approached just in time to hear his last statement.

He settled into another wicker chair. "What are you keeping an eye on the Undvike and Thornton families for? Are you still hung up on Ms. Thornton? She's married and pregnant now, yet you still can't let go of your ex?

"I didn't peg you for the sentimental type. If you knew that this would happen, why did you break up in the first place?"

Charles had turned Beathan's seven-year relationship and near engagement into a tale of unrequited love.
