Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 781

Emelie looked at William's calm demeanor, feeling as though she had struck a blow against a pillow. She pursed her lips and sank into the sofa in silence.

William brought a cup of tea over to her.

"Try this," he suggested.

The tea had a subtle bitterness, but it was sweet at the same time. As the fragrant steam rose, Emelie's brow started to relax. After a few moments, Emelie accepted the cup from him and took a few sips.

William watched her drink, noting that she seemed to appreciate the flavor.

His gaze softened as he spoke. "Tea can help soothe your nerves. Are you feeling less anxious now?"

Emelie paused, reflecting on his words. She realized that his teasing had been deliberate. He had sensed her anxiety and was trying to distract her.

She decided not to acknowledge his attempt at comfort, remaining silent and continued to sip her tea.

William sat beside her and took out his phone. He quickly familiarized himself with the situation and dialed Bryan's number with a frown.

...

In Weston, Bryan had just emerged from the police station.

Even at this late hour, a crowd of reporters was waiting for him outside, clamoring for interviews. He only managed to get into his car safely with the help of his bodyguards.

William simply asked, "What's the situation?"

Bryan's expression was cold. "It wasn't an accident. However, the public will undoubtedly hold the Swanson Corporation responsible. Who else would want to see the Swansons in trouble?"

He suspected Emelie of being behind the incident, but William shook his head.

When she heard the number of casualties, Emelie's face had turned as pale as a sheet. There was no way she could be the perpetrator.

Despite her tough exterior, she was very kind. That was why she was so fearful.
