Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 885

William went to great lengths to protect Emelie and her mother. He had secretly hidden her mother away long ago and never told Emelie anything.

Emelie only found out everything through Charles, Bryan, and even Beathan. She never never once heard from William himself.

It didn't stop there. Three years ago, Wesley had given her a task to lead an acquisition for the Filo Group that included taking over SAM.

During the process, she encountered a formidable competitor from Cedonia. Wesley deliberately hid the identity of the rival, but Emelie quickly recognized the style of her opponent.

It was William.

And, of course, William recognized who he was up against. He had always known. Just as she knew him so well, he knew her, too.

He had trained Emelie personally. How would he not know that his opponent was her?

Last night at the manor, Emelie had dinner with Jaime. He was the CEO of SAM, and he came to attend her wedding.

As they reminisced about the past, the acquisition of SAM came up, and Jaime casually mentioned that he and William were close friends, despite their age difference.

"What's the saying? 'Everything happens for a reason'!" Jaime cheered.

Jaime, the elderly Faldorian who was well past his prime, was already tipsy after half a glass of wine. He was switching between Wyvernian and Cedonian as he spoke.

"Honestly, I'm glad that Will lost to you back then. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known each other. It'd be such a shame if I hadn't become friends with such an interesting young lady like you," he said.

Emelie smiled faintly. "You're the first to call me interesting. I'm usually quite dull."

He continued, "That’s because I have a keen eye! Hmm. I also find Will interesting. You know, he once told me I was the first to call him that as well. You must know Will too if you've spent time in Capebatt City."

"Will? Do you mean William? It sounds like you're pretty close to him," Emelie said.

He said, "Of course! We've known each other for over a decade. He's a very good friend of mine. Now, if I can admit it, I hoped that he would be the one to take over SAM back then. He even traveled to Mercianna. I was fully expecting him to win, but you were the one who succeeded in the end.

"Oh! By the way, you two almost met. But for some reason, he decided not to go to the restaurant that day..."
