Chapter 494 Come Back with Me

Wesley looked at Jodie calmly, and she clapped her hands.

Despite appearing alone, they had backup. Another group quickly appeared, standing off against William’s men.

Tension grew between them.

Wesley stood in front of Emelie, blocking her with his tall and slender figure. “If I remember correctly, I’ve already told you that Eme won’t be going with you, Mr. Middleton

William’s gaze darkened instantly. “Try me.”

Lyle sneered as he stepped forward. “So, you think your people can beat mine?“

Jode stepped forward, tightening her tactical gloves and clenching her fists, her page sharp.

Lyle was unfazed and pulled out a piece of gum and slowly unwrapped the wrapping. He popped it into his mouth and thoughtfully put the wrapper back into his pocket.

“I don’t fight women,” he said, pointing at Wesley. “I want to fight you.”

-Wesley’s expression remained unchanged, equally dismissive of him.

Lyle hadn’t been ignored like this in a long time. He lunged at Wesley with an amused sneer, his punch quick and fierce.

Jodie met him head–on. In a flash, they exchanged several blows.

With their leaders engaged, the followers on both sides naturally joined the brawl, quickly burning the garden of the Allen residence into a battlefield

Surprisingly. Jodie was able to match up to Lyle’s abilities, so the fight was at a standstill.

Elena’s attempts to stop them were futile as no one paid her any attention.

Emelie watched them, feeling numb. The fighting men seemed like two packs of wild beasts meeting in the jungle, driven by a purpose or perhaps none at all, just an intent on destroying the other.

Wesley held Emelle’s hand, speaking softly to her, “Don’t worry.”

William’s cold gaze was fixed on their joined hands. “Emelie, have you forgotten your mother is still in Capebatt Ory?”

Emelie jerked her feet, about to rush toward William. However, Wesley held her back.

She was furious at Willam, her eyes widened with anger. “What have you done to my mother?”

William maintained an indifferent expression.

Emelie gritted her teeth and said, “You’ve already driven my father to death, and now you want to do the same to my mother? My father didn’t give us the ledger. We know nothing. What more do you want from us?!”

William replied, “I want you to come back with me.”

Hadn’t he already said that? How much longer did she want to stay so close to Wesley?

Emelie shouted, “Let my mother gol”

Greta was her weakness, and William’s words caused her to have an emotionall breakdown

Wesley tried to comfort her. “His only lead now is your foster mother. He won’t harm her.”

William said emotionlessly, “Mrs. Hoven is already in the ICU. It is uncertain whether she’ll wake up or not. Emelle, are you sure you don’t want to see her?” Emelie’s face turned ashen when she heard that

How could this be? When she left Capebatt City, her mother was fine. Did he do something to Greta?

Emelie’s eyes were bloodshot as she stared at William, her heart tightening with pain that made her tremble. “William.

He knew how important her mother was to her. He knew, yet he still did this. How could be claim to care about her?

William stood still under her familiar gaze.

He pursed his lips and suddenly shouted, “Everyone, stop!”

His men immediately withdrew and returned to his side. Lyle stopped throwing punches as well.

William then left the choice to Emele. “I’let you decide whether you’ll come back with me.‘
