Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 698

At this close distance, William could smell the faint fragrance on Emelie and instinctively turned his head to inhale more of it.

Emelie didn't see any hint of fear on his face and tightened her grip on his collar. "You don't believe me?"

Just then, to her surprise, someone grabbed her arm and warned her, "Ms. Pierce, please don't offend Mr. Middleton like this."

Emelie turned to see it was Ashton. How could she be there?

At the same time, she noticed someone else behind her.

Emelie immediately turned around and saw four bodyguards in black, clearly William's men. If she dared to harm William further, they would act immediately.

Emelie narrowed her eyes and looked back at William.

He let her hold his collar, slightly bent forward, showing no sign of resistance. His expression was calm and composed. It was clear he wasn't being controlled by her.

Emelie's lips curled into a cold smile. "Your people have been in Borealis City all along? You're not alone after all?"

William didn't deny it.

Emelie nodded. She should have expected that someone of his status and level wouldn't be out alone.

She sneered. "Were you pretending to be weak just to make me lower my guard, Mr. Middleton?"

"No, just to make you less hostile toward me," William said softly.

Emelie glared at him.

Ashton said again, "Ms. Pierce, please let go of Mr. Middleton."

He was William, the president of the Cloudex Corporation and the only son of the Middleton family. No one had ever dared to grab him by the collar. It was a blatant insult.

Emelie ignored her.

Ashton was unable to hold back any longer and started to move forward. However, a cold glance from William made her stop, and her hands clenched into fists.

Emelie expressionlessly said, "Tell me what I want to know."

William wore a self-deprecating smile. It was clear that no matter what, she was determined to find out who had harmed Wesley.

Despite the fatigue he felt, he finally said, "It's Wesley's aunt, Natalia Filo."
