Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 628

Charles shrugged.

The butler continued the conversation. "Indeed, this flower is beautiful. It symbolizes good fortune and completeness, making it a popular choice for a wedding."

He gestured with his hand. "Please, follow me."

William remained unmoved. He said to the butler, "You wouldn't mind bringing us to look at the wedding venue now, would you?"

The butler readily agreed and led them toward the banquet hall.

As the owner of a prominent Faldorian conglomerate, the family naturally lived in opulence. The villa comprised several vintage-style buildings, one housing guest accommodations and another being the banquet hall.

The moment they entered the banquet hall, they abruptly stopped in their tracks. Charles and Bryan turned to glance at William simultaneously after recovering from their shock.

William's expression had hardened. The banquet hall was exquisitely adorned. It was lavish and magnificent, yet...

William's gaze slowly moved from the stage to the crystal chandeliers, the carpet to the dining tables, and then to the porcelain and pastries on the table. The decorations resembled those in his wedding with Emelie. For a fleeting moment, he felt as though he had been transported back to that day.

Suddenly, a sharp bang echoed through the air, causing William to jerk his head up and look toward the second floor.

However, the second floor was empty.

The butler reprimanded, "How careless! You've broken a plate! Clean it up quickly!"

William looked toward the source of the noise and saw a staff who had accidentally shattered a plate. The sound mirrored Jodie's gunshot from the second floor back then.

William closed his eyes, frowning. He realized he was agitated because of the familiar surroundings.

After he regained his composure, he studied the wedding setup once more. He noticed subtle differences upon closer inspection. It was understandable for wedding setups to share similarities.

Charles asked, "Shouldn't there be photographs of the bride and groom on display at the wedding venue?"

The butler nodded. "That's the custom, yes. However, this is the young lady's first public appearance. Mr. Renaud prefers to unveil her identity at the wedding for a more formal introduction."

Charles was surprised. "A first appearance? She hasn't appeared in public before? She's been remarkably well-hidden."
