Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 899

Yennifer continued to answer their questions. "I want to thank Mr. Graham's ex-wife. She's a very kind and gentle lady. On top of that, she is also an outstanding maritime explorer." She paused, then added, "In case any false rumors arise after tonight that tarnish her reputation, I want to clarify that her separation from Mr. Graham had nothing to do with me. Let's not lump all women into a romanticized narrative.

"She loves freedom. She could sail the Caribbean with just a dog, a cat, and a boat. Her courage and ambition are admirable.

"When she learned about my situation, she not only kept my secret but allowed me to hide under her identity.

"For those 15 years, I lived as her, thanks to her allowing me to replace her. This is how I managed to escape the persecution of the four families. Mr. Graham and Ms. Fallon are benefactors I will never forget."

For 15 years, Yennifer lived in seclusion, claiming that she was treating her illness. Given Norman's standing, no one dared to offend him by insisting on seeing his wife.

Moreover, they hired a new batch of maids. Hence, even if someone tried to bribe them, they wouldn't uncover her secret. That was how Yennifer and her son, Wesley, avoided detection for so long.

There were many foreign guests present who had been given translation headsets. They initially thought that these were just for convenience, but now realized they were for following the story.

A Faldorian guest asked in Faldorian, "Why didn't you seek help from Mrs. Denning? Couldn't she have avenged you or protected you?"

Yennifer took her seat again. "Mrs. Denning was not a soft-hearted woman under her harsh exterior. She was strong-willed and uncompromising. If she said that she wouldn't forgive me, she meant it.

"The only mercy she showed me was leaving me alone upon finding out that I was hiding safely at Mr. Graham's and not in danger. She didn't contact me once in those 15 years, so why would I ask her for help with revenge?

"Of course, I knew that, even if I had begged her, she wouldn't help. And in the face of the powerful Four Families, she wouldn't risk the future of the Filo Group to support me, her ungrateful daughter."
