Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 623

Emelie continued coldly, "Acting rashly won't solve anything. Although it might have felt gratifying to take revenge on Sadie and Gianna, you nearly destroyed yourself in the process.

"Your father never truly cared for you. He merely tolerated you causing Sadie's miscarriage and disfigurement because you are his son. If you run into trouble again, he won't help you. And then there's Gianna."

Jodie chimed in, "Ms. Thornton dislikes socializing, so the Thornton family's connections have been maintained by other family members throughout the years. You kidnapped Gianna's son and when on to torture her.

"Had it not been for Ms. Hoven ensuring that the Thornton family remained silent, your troubles would have caught up with you long ago."

Elias turned around and stared at Emelie intently.

"Beathan's original plan was likely to use Sadie and Gianna to cause Ashley to miscarry and divorce you. In doing so, he could get Ashley. However, he hadn't anticipated Roman's extreme actions, leading to the current situation," Emelie stated.

She continued, "If you end up getting thrown into prison as well, who will protect Ashley? And what exactly can you do to Beathan? Beat him up, or kill him? Is it worth sacrificing yourself for these despicable people?"

Elias pressed his tongue against his inner cheek and chuckled sarcastically. "And what about you? You faked your death and escaped, yet now you're willing to reveal yourself to me and tell me all of this. What's in it for you, Ms. Hoven? Or should I say, the lady of the Filo family?"

Emelie took a few steps forward. "Your enemy is Beathan, and so is mine. Why not join forces?"

Elias narrowed his eyes sharply. "You want to join forces with me?"

...

Their conversation lasted for a full hour. It wasn't until the wind started howling late at night that Elias finally left the dock.

Before his departure, Emelie said, "Dr. Saed is the best neurosurgeon I could find. I arranged for Jayden to send him to you because I want to save Ashley.

"Nevertheless, Dr. Saed mentioned having a junior colleague who possesses even greater skill. Unfortunately, this colleague vanished from the world a few years ago after losing his wife and child. I'm using the Filo family's connections to look for him. If I find him, he might be able to help Ashley."

Elias said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Then, he got in his car and left.

Jodie walked up to Emelie from behind. She still didn't understand why Emelie had approached Elias.

She asked, "Miss, aren't you afraid that he might tell William about you?"

The wind blew, causing waves to undulate at sea.
