Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 739

Elias curled his lips into a humorless smile. "Dream on, Beathan. But you'll never see Ash again, not in this lifetime."

Before Beathan could spit out something venomous, Elias cut him off. "You think I'm clueless about how she got hurt all those years ago? I've kept that score for a long time."

It was time for Elias to settle it.

Beathan was at a loss for words, and his eyes faltered.

He had always thought that Elias was unaware. If he had known, there was no way he would've stayed quiet all these years.

Unless… someone had held him back, making him wait in patience until the perfect moment to strike.

But who could that be? Who had lured Beathan to Capebatt City? It had to be the same person.

Beathan's expression shifted before he refrained from talking anymore. He turned around and swiftly walked away.

Elias watched Beathan's retreating figure, his eyes cold with contempt.

However, as he turned to the person nearby, his countenance softened. He was like a lost stray dog that finally returned to its master, becoming calm and obedient.

The person in the wheelchair had listened to the entire conversation. Without a word, she slowly wheeled herself away.

Elias felt a pang of disappointment. Despite that, he quickly followed, sticking close to the person.

...

Beathan hurried out of the neighborhood. He wanted to rush to the airport and leave Capebatt City immediately.

His driver had already pulled the car around. As Beathan reached for the door, a large hand abruptly slammed it shut.

Multiple men surrounded him.

"Are you Beathan Collins?" one of the men asked.

Beathan remained calm. "Who are you?"

The leader flashed a police badge. "We're the police. We suspect that you're involved in a serious criminal case. You'll need to come with us to the station for further investigation."

Beathan's breath halted. "A criminal case? What are you talking about? I just arrived in Capebatt City today. You must be mistaken."
