Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 768 Just and Only

Emelie had little patience for repeating herself. She grabbed Daphne's chin and forced Daphne to look at her.

"Begging him won't help. The only way you can save yourself now is by answering my question," she said.

Her indifferent tone suddenly turned into a sharp command. "Speak!"

Daphne trembled, and her entire body shook. She looked at William again, hoping desperately that he might show some mercy and save her.

However, William also asked, "Why?"

Daphne's hope shattered. Her face turned ashen as she realized that, if she didn't speak, she would have no way to survive.

Emelie was no longer the same person she had been three years ago, and Daphne was terrified of her.

Daphne lips' trembled as she stammered, "It... it was Mrs. Middleton..."

"Mrs. Middleton?" Emelie narrowed her eyes. "You mean to tell me you were involved with Mrs. Middleton?"

Tears of fear welled up in Daphne's eyes. "I've had feelings for Mr. Middleton for a long time. She... she came to me first, saying that if I wanted to be with Mr. Middleton, you were the one I had to eliminate.

"I was foolish at the time and listened to her, but I swear I didn't know you were pregnant then. I just wanted to get rid of you... only..."
