Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 826 Now, Not So Much

Emelie tilted her head to the side with a smile. "I thought you might want to ask me what my relationship with William is now."

"I know he's been pestering you," Wesley replied flatly. "Playing the victim, acting pitiful, saying things like he misses you, loves you, all while being humble and trying to win you over. Do you think I don't know the tactics that men use?"

Emelie pondered for a few seconds before nodding honestly. "He does do that."

Wesley looked her in the eye. "So, what do you think of his behavior?"

Emelie licked her lips and spoke frankly. "At first, I wanted him dead. Now, not so much. But he doesn't get to live the rest of his life peacefully either. I will make sure he repays what he owes the Hoven family, and what the Middleton family owes the Pierce family.

"Even Bryan had to go bankrupt to atone for his sins. What makes William think he can continue being the heir to the Middleton family and the CEO of Cloudex?"

Emelie didn't answer Wesley's question about her thoughts on William's behavior, but she made it clear that she never intended to let William off the hook so easily.
