Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 782

"It's not me who's accusing him; it's you," William said softly. "If you weren't so uncertain, you wouldn't be this frightened."

Emelie felt her throat tighten. She turned away without saying a word.

At that moment, Jodie handed her a phone. The caller ID showed Wesley's name.

Without hesitation, Emelie stood up and left the VIP room, taking the call outside.

The first thing she said was, "Did you have anything to do with the explosion at the Swanson Technology Park?"

Over the line, Wesley's voice was calm and composed despite the background noise of an airport. "Aren't you back at the hotel yet? I've arranged for dinner to be ready for you. You should eat something. Otherwise, you'll be hungry later."

Emelie's voice was taut with urgency. "I need to return to Coastalburg immediately."

Wesley replied, "Handle your matters in Eprand first. I'll take care of things here."

Emelie's teeth were clenched as she insisted, "Whether or not it was you, I can't stay in Eprand any longer. I need to go back."

Wesley's tone softened. "Eme, please listen to me."

For the first time, her eyes showed signs of fatigue, and she raised her voice sharply. "I said I'm going back now!"

William, who had been quietly observing, glanced toward the door.

On the other end of the call, Wesley sighed quietly. "I sent you to Eprand specifically to keep you out of the troubles in Coastalburg."

Emelie's head felt as if it were spinning. "So, did you really cause the explosion?"

She struggled to control her emotions. "Have you lost your mind?! Four people dead and 17 injured. These are lives! They're innocent and have nothing to do with our personal vendettas! Why drag them into this?"
