Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 622

Night had descended, and Elias drove alone to the dock. The absence of any wind and waves created a stifling atmosphere.

He had been here once before, so he was familiar with the place. It was where he had "disposed of" Emelie's body.

There was a new container port in Capebatt City, so this one was abandoned and usually deserted. However, when Elias arrived, he noticed four or five cars already parked at the dock.

Two bodyguards, clad in black suits, stood beside each vehicle. They were tall, strong, and expressionless. They had a menacing air of those who lived life on the edge. It was obvious that they weren't putting on a show.

Among them were two women. One woman was wearing a black shawl, her back turned to everyone as she gazed out at the calm sea. The other woman had short hair, making her look neat and tidy.

Elias recognized the woman with short hair—she worked for Wesley.

Something dawned on him. He got out of his car and approached the figure in the black shawl without hesitation.

"Emelie, is it really you?" he asked.

The figure in the black shawl turned and raised her head.

There were no streetlights at the dock, and the only light came from the moon and stars, which was reflected by the sea.

The woman's skin was as white as snow. If Elias was in a more lighthearted mood, he might have joked about seeing a ghost.

Elias immediately started asking questions. "You didn't die after all... Did Wesley rescue you? Did he take you abroad? If you managed to escape, why have you returned now?

"You claimed that Sadie and Gianna weren't responsible for harming Ashley. Then who was it? You called me before the incident occurred. Did you already know what was going to happen? Emelie, was this all part of your plan?"

Elias interrogated her, his tone growing increasingly sharp.

Jodie, standing nearby, growled, "Mr. Undvike, watch what you say! Why would Ms. Hoven want to harm Ms. Thornton? They're friends!"

Elias sneered, "Who can be sure if they're real friends or fake friends?"
