Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 819

Bryan had sent Daphne to Emelie as a peace offering, hoping to make amends. However, Beathan had a completely different agenda.

Back then, they couldn't figure out what he was trying to accomplish. However, with the whole picture clear, it was obvious what his intention was.

He sent Daphne to stir the pot, making sure that both Emelie and William drank that drugged wine, leading them to sleep together.

He was convinced that infidelity was the one thing that could never be forgiven between lovers. With Emelie entangled with William again, there was no way the well-respected Wesley would ever forgive her.

He wanted to break Emelie and Wesley apart.

However, that wasn't enough. To truly strike at the heart, he needed to hurt both of them. So, he orchestrated the explosion at the Swanson Technology Park.

The real culprits behind that explosion were Beathan and Natalia. He used the explosion to make Emelie misunderstand Wesley, making her think he couldn't forgive her for that night with William and was taking revenge on Bryan in return.

That way, with misunderstandings and mistrust festering, he could force them apart.

It was a clever and cunning plan, one that involved sacrificing his own ally. Until this day, Bryan still didn't know he was taken down by his own comrade.

The only flaw in his plan was that he completely underestimated the depth of the love and trust between Emelie and Wesley.

Wesley was willing to accept that Emelie's intimate encounter with William was a setup by others, and Emelie firmly believed that Wesley wouldn't disregard innocent lives.

Hence, they both stayed rational and thought it through. If those two incidents were causing problems between them, who would stand to gain?

It couldn't be Charles, who was in prison. Meanwhile, Bryan wouldn't bring trouble upon himself. It also couldn't be William.

The only one left was Beathan.

Beathan had been orchestrating all his plots secretly, but they easily figured out it was him.

William praised her calmly. "This plan… It's brilliant."

Emelie smiled and gestured to the bowl of soup she brought. "Drink it."

William glanced at it. The chicken soup didn't look like it was meant for him. "Did you bring your share over for me?"

Emelie hesitated for a moment. "It's just a bowl of soup, Mr. Middleton. Don't read too much into it."

"Fine, I won't make assumptions, I'll ask you directly. When you were planning this, did you factor me in? Did you think that I'd come to Mercianna to find you?"

William stared at her without blinking, catching the subtle change in her expression and how she quickly looked away after hearing his words.

He slowly smiled. "You thought about it, didn't you, angel? You knew that when I found out you were under house arrest, I'd come to Mercianna to save you, no matter what. Deep down, you understood that as long as you were in danger, I'd show up. So, you know that I love you a lot."
