Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 679

Charles had drunk even more than Emelie, and he was now lying passed out on his bed. However, a sudden phone call from his subordinate jolted him awake. "Mr. Davis, we've found Emmie!"

Charles sprang out of bed. "Where is she?"

The subordinate replied, "She bribed a sailor to let her board his ship, intending to escape Capebatt City. Our men surveying the area caught her. We've locked her up."

Charles asked, "Is the child with her?"

"Yes!" the subordinate said.

Charles let out a low chuckle and opened the closet, choosing a set of clothes to change into.

"That woman is cunning. Keep the child in another room. As long as we have the child, she won't dare to run. I'm going there right now!" Charles said.

At a cheap hotel near the dock, Emmie was guarded by several burly bodyguards. She tried to make a run for it multiple times, but she was stopped each time.

When Charles arrived with his men, Emmie lunged at him and grabbed his collar.

She yelled anxiously, "Charles! Give me back Mia! Give her back to me!"

Charles sneered. "Aren't you the clever one? With two burly men guarding you, you still managed to slip away."

Emmie's hair was disheveled and her clothes were dirty because she had lain down in the boat. She looked pathetic, a stark contrast to the impeccably dressed Charles.

She stared at him in despair. "What do you want from me?"

Charles' voice was cold. "I want answers."

Emmie took a deep breath. "I don't know what you're talking about. We haven't seen each other in two years. There's nothing left to say."

"Still playing innocent, are we? I had a DNA test done. Mia is my daughter." Emmie let go of his collar, the color draining from her face.
