Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 701 Please, I'm Begging You

"You casually suggested setting up a charitable fund as if it were a trivial matter, so I didn't think much of it or raise my guard. Then, you created a buzz around a horse race, raising the funds to an unexpected 15 million dollars."

"Let me guess. At least 10 million dollars of that was contributed by your own people, right?"

Emelie smiled but said nothing.

Charles nodded. "And then, you used the excuse of losing the horse race to me as a way to hand over the encryption key."

Instead of giving him the encryption key straight away, losing the race and then handing it over seemned more natural, and that had eased his suspicions.

Every step that Emelie had taken was so seamless and unexpected that it left Charles defenseless.

Emelie listened to him without denying a word. This proved that his assumptions were entirely correct.
