Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 401 He’s Playing Cute

With one hand signing the agreement and the other handing over the check, the matter was considered closed after the notarization.

After his parents left, Charles immediately turned his attention to Emelie. Smiling broadly, he said, “Let’s find a place to celebrate. Tonight’s on me. How about we go to Lovelight?”

Both Emelie and Ashley declined. Just the three of them going out? That didn’t make much sense, and it’d be weird.

“Are you worried that there aren’t enough people? Don’t worry. I’ll call a few more friends!” Charles took out his phone.

Anyone who didn’t know better might think that he was Emelie’s undercover agent in the Allen family. Who else would be so eager to celebrate after losing such a large sum of money?

Since he was so enthusiastic, Emelie and Ashley had no choice but to go along. They might as well just treat it as having a meal together.

Charles had invited a man who seemed around 30 years old and looked mature and refined. Emelie didn’t recognize him, but Ashley clearly hesitated when she saw him.

Charles introduced him and said, “This is my friend, Beathan Collins. I had originally wanted him to represent Elena’s case. Since that’s not necessary anymore, let’s just forget about it and have a meal.”

Beathan had a handsome appearance but an inscrutable expression. He shook hands with both Emelie and Ashley.

When he held Ashley’s hand, he paused for a few seconds before releasing it with a smile when she moved slightly.

They sat around a large round table. Charles crossed his legs and said in a relaxed tone, “Mr. Collins is a famous criminal defense lawyer in Southern Region. Ms. Thornton, have you heard of him before?”
