Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 640

Questions started piling up as the media began their questioning.

"From what we know, you had a wedding three years ago. The venue was all set, and we found the invitations you sent out.

"However, the wedding was canceled last minute because of some unknown incident. Mr. Middleton, do you mind sharing what had happened? Who was the bride? Where is she now?" the reporter questioned relentlessly.

"No comment," William responded with three words.

Vanessa chuckled. "Of course he won't comment! He can't even bring himself to mention her name. Let me fill you in. The bride's name was Emelie Hoven. Three years ago, she was his head secretary. She was always by his side at events. I'm sure you can find her picture if you look for it."

The media's cameras were live-streaming the scene. Soon, the story quickly shot to the top of the trending board.

The social media platform saw a massive traffic surge and refused Cloudex's PR Department's request to suppress the trending topic. Instead, they actively promoted it with online viewers exceeding 10 million.

Such a shocking high-society scandal had never happened within the city. There was an uproar at a funeral hall, the power struggle between a son and his stepmother, and also the accusations of a wife's murder. Each of the stories was sensational.

Amidst the frenzy, Emelie's picture quickly surfaced.

Vanessa continued, "Three years ago, Emelie vanished without a trace. Not even her closest friend or sister can reach her. Why? It's because she's dead!"

On camera, William's features remained strikingly cold and composed. His expression was distant and indifferent as he looked at Vanessa like a clown.

He replied, "It's an interesting story. Just far too absurd."

Vanessa smirked ironically. "Is it?"

Ashton interjected, "Mrs. Middleton, I've already told you, Ms. Hoven is alive!"
