Winning Her Heart Back
Chapter 497 Congratulations, Mr. Middleton
William pressed harder against her, not letting her path him away.
say you e
He said, âWhatâs wrong with using a little strategy to pursue the person 1 Hike? Didnât you say not for me?â
i could accept a bit of scheming between adults? Why was it okay for Samuel bur
Emelie couldnât believe he was using that as an excuse. âDonât twist my words! Those arenât the same thing!â
âHow is it not? And didnât you say that everything before putting on the ring would be water under the bridge? Doesnât this count too?â William said.
For the first time in her life, Emelie was so furious that she couldnât form a response. How dare he claims that his manipulative actions were just because he liked ber?
He hid his true nature and pretended to change just to win her over. He even manipulated public opinion and caused trouble for her dad. They were all a part of his strategy to pursue her
Was she expected to forgive him for everything just because he liked her and because she said that everything before putting on the ring was water under the bridge?
Emelie gripped his shirt tightly, feeling a sharp pain in her stomach.
âHer stomach always hurt when she was emotional Hence, it hurt like crazy as she was furious at him. It was just like him to render her speechless in their arguments.
She tried to break free with all her might. âLet me go, William! Let me go!â
William noticed that her face was pale and thought that she was suffering from hunger pains.
He grabbed her wrist and draped her out of the cabin. âEat somethingâ
Emelie grabbed the door frame with her other hand, causing a loud bang as they struggled,
Lyle, who was outside, heard the noise and immediately walked over, seeing them in a standoff at the doorway.
Emelie stared at Willam for a few seconds.
As she exhaled, she forced herself to calm down. âIf I help you find that ledger, will you let my mom and me go?!
Since they met, she had mentioned the ledger numerous times. She also kept on insisting on leaning
William returned her a stare âIs that all you have to say to me?
Emelie replied with a mocking laugh. âWhat else is there to say?â
âThereâs plenty,â William said calmly. âThe busy period of my business at the start of the year is over. We can start planning our wedding now. Since youâve quit Swanson Corporation, you can focus on preparing for a baby after our marriage. Previously, you suggested having a child, and I think itâs a good ideaâ
Emelie was stunned by his words. âAre you crazy?
He wanted her to have a wedding and a baby with him?
âIn your dreams!â She forcefully pulled her hand away
William grabbed her again, holding her tightly. âWe can discuss this at home. For now, eat something.â
âI donât have a home with you!â she yelled.
Emelie denied everything between them without hesitation. If she could turn back time to that rainy night four years ago, she would never have gotten into his car. If she had done that, they wouldnât be entangled with each other.
âNo matter how you twist things, weâre not married until we get the certificate. I wonât have a wedding with you, and I wonât have a child with you!â* Emelie said.
Given his power and status, he could probably produce a fake marriage certificate. Hence, she added, âIf you try to force me, Iâll kill myselfâ
Williamâs eyes darkened, and he tightened his grip on her hand. âWhy are you resorting to such tactics? When did you learn to play these stupid games?
âIâve always been stupid! I wasnât, I wouldnât have believed you liked me since high school just because of a story Elena told me. 1 wouldnât have rushed back to Capebatt City overight to search for love letters in a pile of junk. And I wouldnât have waited for you at the town entrance because I was moved by your words!â
With that, she violently shook his hand off.
This time, William didnât grab her again
Emelle, her breathing heavy and labored from anger, curled her lips into a sneer.
With bloodshot eyes, she said, âWilliam, you must have laughed at me for being blinded by your love, and for obeying you without question
She had thought infidelity and shifting affections were the worst things that could happen between them. However, she now realized that the deceit and manipulation that happened after their reconciliation would end their relationship.
âAnyway, if I die, you can finally report to the other three families that the Pierce family is completely wiped out, with no one left to threaten your positions. Congratulations, Me. Middleton, you can rest peacefully now!â Emelie said, mocking him.
