Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 653

Emelie had brought only her driver that day. She stood casually by the side of the car, waiting for William to get out, and greeted him with a smile. "Mr. Middleton."

William was dressed in dark colors, as usual. He had on a black jumper and a long coat. His expression was stern and serious, but there was a slight softening of his demeanor when his eyes met hers.

"Are you here to see Ms. Thornton?" William asked.

"Are you here to see Mr. Undvike, Mr. Middleton?" Emelie asked in return.

William replied, "I was just passing by Pearl Bay and thought I'd stop by to see Ms. Thornton."

His eyes then wandered over her somewhat thin clothing. "It should be colder in Capebatt City than it is in Baliz. You should wear an extra layer if you are going out."

Emelie smiled but didn't respond to his comment. Instead, she said, "I won't keep you then, Mr. Middleton. I'll be on my way."

And with that, she got into the car. Just as the door closed, she heard William cough twice.

She turned to look back, but William was already walking toward the villa. As always, he stood straight and tall. He seemed to have no sign of discomfort.

If there was one thing that was different, it was the fact that he was dressed more warmly.

Although it was a bit chilly, she remembered that William used to dislike wearing scarves. He thought they were suffocating and made it hard to breathe. It hadn't even snowed in Capebatt City, and he was already wearing one.

Emelie tapped her knee contemplatively before instructing the driver to start the car and drive away.

…

After giving the public two days to adjust, Xanther Group officially announced its partnership with Filo Group on Thursday morning.

From then on, Filo Group would replace Aurora Group and continue to support Xanther Group financially.

Xanther Group and Filo Group even held a signing ceremony. This time, Xanther Group live-streamed the event on its official social media account, away from the intense scrutiny of the media.

As expected, the event quickly became a hot topic.

The viewers noticed that the representative of the Filo Group was none other than the woman in the case of the murdered woman, Emelie Hoven.

Now, of course, she was known as Mandy Pierce.

Still, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that they were one and the same person. Her presence as a representative of the Filo Group signing the agreement with the Xanther Group further confirmed that there was no animosity between her and William. They seemed to have parted amicably as former lovers.

Wait a minute.
