Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 760

He did everything he could, but things had still ended up as they did.

So, should fate be blamed for being cruel? Or should the heavens be blamed for not aligning with human desires?

Emelie released Bryan's hand and leaned back against her chair. Her gaze was as lifeless as stagnant water. Her expression was devoid of the emotional impact Bryan had expected after hearing the truth.

At that moment, Jodie returned.

Sensing the unusual atmosphere, she cast a wary glance at Bryan before saying, "Ms. Pierce, I've already bought the plum wine."

Emelie sneered.

The so-called famous plum wine was just an excuse Bryan used to get Jodie out of the way so that he could talk to her.

To ensure that Jodie was definitely kept away, Bryan had also mentioned that it was Samuel's favorite.

"Leave it here for Mr. Swanson," Emelie said as she stood up. "That's all for today. I'll be leaving now."

She left without further ado.

Jodie hurried to catch up with Emelie. Noticing her tense mood, she couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Pierce, what did Mr. Swanson say to you?"

Emelie replied coldly, "Nothing."

Jodie continued, "What about the CEOs who wanted to connect with Filo Group?"

Emelie was fed up with Bryan's endless questions, and Jodie's continued inquiries were the last straw.

She exclaimed in anger, "Let them contact the business department themselves! I'm not in charge of that!"

Jodie was stunned. She had never seen Emelie lose her temper. "Understood."

Emelie stopped in her tracks and shut her eyes tightly.

After a few seconds, she said hoarsely, "Sorry, I'm not angry with you."

Jodie bit her lip. "It's alright. Ms. Pierce, that person seems to be William."

Emelie looked over.

Sure enough, she saw William stepping out of the car and walking briskly toward her.

He immediately noticed that something was off with her, as her expression was filled with agitation.

Emelie felt as if her world had been turned upside down. She was unable to accept or process what had just happened and was thus in a state of inner resistance and rejection.

William, trying to keep his tone calm, asked, "What's wrong?"

Emelie stared at him coldly.
