Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 737

The person on the other end was clearly confused.

"Speak clearly!" he snapped.

Felix swallowed hard and explained the entire situation.

After the man had heard the details, he asked, "Who was the one who jumped after her?"

Felix frantically exclaimed, "I don’t know! I don’t know who he is! What am I supposed to do now? You promised that if we captured that woman, you’d ensure I wouldn’t be held responsible for Frankie's death. Now that there’s been another death, I’m got screwed over by you!’"

"Since she voluntarily jumped, it's not your responsibility then. Where are you right now? I'll send you an address. Go there, and I'll have someone take you out of the country. You'll be safe," the man said.

Felix finally felt relieved upon hearing that. He continued driving through the night toward the address given.

The man ended the call and then contacted someone else. After he confirmed Felix's story, he headed to his study.

As he knocked on the door, a voice sounded. "Come in."

Jake replied, "Emelie jumped off the cliff."

Beathan furrowed his brows. "She jumped?"

Jake nodded. "I spoke with the crew sent to help Felix. They all saw Emelie jump. The cliff is a sheer drop; her chances of survival are slim."

Beathan leaned back in his chair, fiddling with his pen.

He had manipulated Felix to lure Emelie into a trap. He wanted to make Emelie's passing look like an accidental death. That way, he could completely get rid of her. He hadn't expected her to jump willingly.

"Well, it saves me the trouble if she's truly dead. But it's just rather sudden," Beathan said.

Jake pondered. "With so many witnesses and no chance of survival, she can't possibly be alive after jumping, can she?"

Beathan shook his pen. "We saw her get shot in the heart and thrown into the sea years ago. Still, she came back, didn't she? Have someone search for the body at the bottom of the cliff."

"Yes, sir," Jake said.
