Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 702 He Loved You

Charles raised his head. "But people are selfish, aren't they? What could I do? He's my biological father. Was I supposed to report him?

"Turning against your own family is considered noble because it goes against human instinct. But I'm no saint. I couldn't do it."

Emelie was starting to lose her composure. She couldn't help it.

What he had said was just too shameless!

"So, you chose to go along with him, to help your father destroy the evidence and cause the deaths of my adoptive parents!"

"I told you, people are selfish. If I hadn't found the account book and continued down the wrong path, the ones facing imprisonment and bankruptcy would have been the Davis family and my father. I was just protecting myself."

Charles found it ironic. "When the Pierce family fell, I was only three years old, but from that moment on, I was destined to be an accomplice. My entire life, I could only continue making mistakes."

It was almost comical to hear him claim he was only protecting himself.

It was almost laughable to hear him say he could only keep making mistakes.

Emelie laughed. "You're shameless. You warm yourself with the blood of others. You're vicious, plain and simple. Don't pretend you were forced into this. It's disgusting to hear!"
