Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 666 A Gentle Knife

Emelie took a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the dirtied gloves that she had always been wearing. "If you want to keep the house, keep it. I'm just worried that you won't be able to hold on to it."

She tossed the handkerchief aside and left with Jodie and her bodyguards.

The moment she left Eastbay and got into the car, her expression turned cold.

Jodie said, "Ms. Pierce, don't be upset."

"I'm not upset. This isn't the first time I've seen him go back on his word. I suffered a lot for it back then." Emelie scoffed.

Jodie asked, "Do we still want the Pierce Residence?"

Emelie took off her dirty gloves and tossed them aside.

Jodie handed her a clean pair, and after she put it on, said coolly, "If someone from the Pierce family can't have the property of the Pierce family, then I'd rather see it destroyed than in the hands of the Middleton family."

After she got used to the new gloves, she smiled. "Jodie, I need you to do something for me."

That night, the old Pierce family house on Brookside Road caught on fire. Fortunately, neighbors noticed it in time and called the fire department. The blaze was extinguished before it caused any serious damage. William wore a long black coat as he stood outside the Pierce Residence in the early morning. A fog had hung over the area.
