Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 893

Lyle grinned. "After I left Capebatt City, I wandered aimlessly. I didn't know where to go or what to do, so I ended up traveling around Northern Valantis for a few months.

"One night, I was drinking in a small bar in Dunvarn when I overheard the neighboring table talking about the Filo Group acquiring SAM. They made a point to mention a new Ms. Pierce who had just joined the Filo Group.

"But I didn't realize they were emphasizing it on purpose. I just found the connection between the Filo family and the Pierce surname intriguing, so I headed to Baliz to find out more.

"I staked out her place until I saw her with my own eyes and realized that she was still alive. That's when I decided to join her and work by her side."

Back then, it wasn't just a casual trip. Lyle felt partly responsible for Emelie's supposed death. If he hadn't helped her escape, the tragedy in the wilderness wouldn't have happened. Him running off to Northern Valantis was his way of avoiding reality.

However, when he thought about it, he realized that everything was too coincidental. How did news about a Faldorian company end up in a Dunish bar, right where he could hear it?

Lyle couldn't help but wonder. "Will, did you send someone to lead me to find her?"
