Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 34 Marry Her

The guests stopped when they recognized Emelie. “Oh, didn’t you hear, Ms. Hoven? Mr. Middleton Senior nearly got into a fight with Mr. Middleton earlier!”

Emelie was stunned. How could this be? William was such a calm and composed man, How could he have gotten into an argument with his father at such a public event?

“Is that true?” she asked.

The other guest added hurriedly, “No, no. He’s just exaggerating things. It was more like Mr. Middleton Senior took on a very displeased expression. There was no arguing.

“See, right there. That was where Mr. Middleton Senior spoke to the secretary Mr. Middleton brought along tonight. Mr. Middleton soon came and defended his secretary. I’m not sure what he said to his father then, but the latter grew pissed in an instant.”

“Good thing Mr. Mikhail came over just in time and asked them to take things upstairs. We don’t know what happened afterward.”

Emelie’s brows furrowed.

The guest asked curiously, “You know Mr. Middleton best, Ms. Hoven. Could you tell us whether that secretary of his is actually his girlfriend? They didn’t get into a fight because Mr. Middleton Senior disapproved of her, did they?”

That was most likely the case. Why else would William get so upset with his father? Henry clearly did not like Daphne based on how he behaved during dinner last time.

Emelie’s lips twitched.
