Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 745

Neither the driver nor Jodie were with Emelie. She had sent them off on other tasks without explaining why.

"Do I need to report my whereabouts to you, Mr. Middleton?" she replied.

"You've had your restrictions lifted. Why didn't you tell me?" William asked.

Emelie paused before retorting, "Why should I have told you?"

William asked his third question. "You used my name to trick Daphne into coming back. What are you planning to do to her?"

Something flickered in Emelie's eyes as she slowly responded, "So that's why you've suddenly sprung back to life. It's because of Daphne. Your concern for her really is as consistent as ever."

William didn't bother defending himself. "I've explained my relationship with Daphne to you before. There's no need to provoke me. I just want you to answer this: What do you plan to do now that you've lured her back?"

Emelie's casual tone and playful expression gradually faded under the intensity of his questioning.

They were on a gravel road by the highway, a place rarely visited by anyone. Nearby, a train's horn blared as it pulled into a station.

After the noise died down, Emelie said coldly, "I want her to pay for my child's life."

The setting sun was already sinking low, and the sky seemed to turn even darker.

They stood facing each other, surrounded by tall wild grass swaying like waves in the wind.

The malice in Emelie's eyes was unmistakable. "I've never met a woman as vicious as her. I was ready to let go of all the petty things she'd done in the past, but it turns out she was the mastermind behind the kidnapping. She's been hiding for years, but now it's time for her to pay."

"So, you're planning to kill her?" William asked solemnly.

Emelie didn't deny it.

William's jaw tightened as he swiftly grabbed her wrist. "I don't care what else you do, but you're not going to kill anyone. You won't take a life, that's the bottom line. Do you hear me?"
