Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 761

Since Charles' case had not yet gone to trial, he was still being held in the detention center.

When the guard brought him to the visitor's room, he saw Emelie on the other side of the bars and smiled. "I didn't think I'd see you again before my release, Ms. Hoven."

Emelie wasn't in the mood for pleasantries. "I have questions for you."

"What about?" Charles sat down on the iron chair, and the guard cuffed his hands to the small table in front of him.

Emelie got straight to the point. "How much do you know about William and my mother?"

Charles burst into laughter. "Mr. Middleton and Mrs. Hoven? What kind of twisted pairing is that?"

Emelie's eyes instantly turned cold.

Suddenly, the guard behind Charles used his handcuffs to choke him.

"Ugh!" Charles immediately felt an intense pain. His hands were cuffed, so he was unable to struggle.

Emelie crossed her legs and coldly watched as Charles' face turned red, then blue, and finally black. She asked, "Are you ready to talk properly?"

Charles was on the verge of passing out. He writhed in agony and gasped. "Yes… Yes…"

Only then did Emelie signal the guard to release him.

Charles collapsed onto the table and coughed violently. Between coughs, he laughed and said, "Ms. Hoven, you've become even more ruthless."

Ordinarily, Emelie wouldn't resort to such straightforward violence. However, she had to admit that sometimes, pure violence was the quickest way to get what she wanted.

It took Charles a while to recover. He lifted his head to look at her and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Emelie didn't beat around the bush. "I have two questions. First, was my mother truly in a coma back then, or was she faking it?"

Charles swallowed and exhaled slowly. "I'm not entirely sure if it was real or fake. It was likely fake because I had someone planted in the hospital, and they told me Mrs. Hoven woke up. But when I asked William, he insisted she hadn't."

After a moment of thought, Charles added a possibility as he said, "But it's also possible that Mrs. Hoven was initially in a real coma but later woke up, and William hid that fact."

Emelie listened quietly.

So, it was true. What Bryan said was true.
