Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 624

William didn't take it personally. After all, they had been friends for a long time.

"There's no use crying over spilled milk. You need to pull yourself together. Ms. Thornton wouldn't want to see you like this," William said.

Elias quietly wiped Ashley's fingers with a warm towel. Her skin was cold and pale.

It was late, so William didn't stay for long. He reminded Elias to eat something before leaving.

Elias tucked in Ashley's blanket, then walked out of the ward to find Gianna outside with a bleeding head wound.

Over the past few days, she had repeatedly passed out from the injury, only to be woken up using cold water and forced to continue. She seemed like she was at her breaking point.

Elias didn't even spare a look at her.

"Get her out of here," he ordered.

"Yes." His men immediately dragged Gianna away.

Elias gave his secretary the folded piece of paper he received from Emelie. "Verify this information."

The assistant looked at the phone number and call dates in puzzlement. "What is this, Mr. Undvike?"

Elias simply replied, "Inform me of the results once you get them."

He'll decide whether to work with the "resurrected" woman after then.

...

It didn't take long to verify the information. The next day, the assistant confirmed its accuracy to Elias.

Elias smirked and said, "I got it."

He returned to the Undvike Residence. Two days later, when Ashley's condition was stable, Elias brought her home.

Meanwhile, Elias' father publicly announced he was disowning his son. Elias was also not entitled to the family's assets.

When William and Jayden heard the news, they went to Pearl Bay together.

Elias had transformed the master bedroom into a makeshift ward, filling it with medical equipment. Ashley laid quietly on the bed, seeming to be asleep.

Jayden pinched the space between his eyes and said helplessly, "Have you lost your mind? How did things get this bad with your family?"

"I broke Sadie's son's leg and angered my father," Elias replied sarcastically. "But he couldn't bring himself to send me to prison."

"The project the Xander Group and the Aurora Group is working on is in progress. I'm busy, so you can help me oversee it," he said.

The lights in the room were shining behind Elias, making his eyes appear dark and intense.

He said, "Don't worry. I'll keep a close watch."

...

After leaving Elias' house, William sat in his car and looked outside the window, lost in thought. He didn't even hear Ashton talking to him. Ashton had to call out to him several times before he snapped out of it.

"I was thinking about what Elias said," William replied, looking down at his ring.

What Elias said? That William didn't love Emelie, so he wasn't even saddened by her death?

Ashton comforted him carefully. "Mr. Undvike was overwhelmed by grief and anger. He didn't mean to insult you."

It wasn't the insult that bothered William, but the general perception that he didn't love Emelie. How ironic.

He clutched the ring, hiding his true emotions.

"Those three might not agree to Elias joining the Xanther Group, especially Beathan. Tell them that, if I can't even make this decision, I'll give the project I got from the Aurora Group to Cloudex instead. Let them decide," William said.
