Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 829

Emelie returned to the Dennings Residence from the police station and quickly issued several orders.

Later in the evening, Wesley also returned from the company.

Emelie told him, "I have to return to the country tomorrow."

"Is it because Beathan was released on bail?" Wesley already knew about it. "The police's charges against him are all based on indirect evidence. They lack the most crucial piece. He also presented a report claiming that he has an illness, so he was granted bail."

"He has always been good at exploiting legal loopholes,” Emelie sneered. "But I just learned some interesting things from Natalia. It's perfect timing to see if they're true."

Wesley nodded. He didn't stop her from returning to the country. Instead, he looked down at her, then took her hand.

Suddenly, as if by magic, a white bracelet appeared in his hand. He spread the bracelet apart and put it on her slender wrist.

Emelie was curious. What did he mean by this?

"After work, I saw a young girl about ten years old selling these outside the company in a basket. It was very cheap, but the moment I saw it, I wanted to give it to you."

As the head of the jewelry line, Emelie had some knowledge about these beads. "This is made of natural white nacre, polished from shells. It has a faint, soft glow."

"Like moonlight," Wesley added softly, looking into her eyes. "I have to stay in Mercianna to handle the Filo Group’s issues. I can't go back with you this time. Finish up quickly and remember to come back. Our wedding is in April."

Emelie looked at the beads on her wrist. They hung loosely, not giving her a feeling of being restricted.

She couldn't quite put her feelings into words, but after a moment, she smiled at him. "I know."

...

The next morning, Emelie and Jodie boarded a plane back to Capebatt City.

Jodie seemed to have something on her mind.

Emelie noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"

That was what Emelie wanted to say to her too. "You’re okay now, and that’s what matters."

They were both people who had almost died.

Not wanting to dwell in this somber atmosphere, Ashley suggested, "Let's call Mona. We can have a meal together."

Three years ago, the three of them often ate together.

Although Mona was still at work, she didn't hesitate to come right away.

Emelie teased her, "Now that you're a department manager, no one would dare to stop you even if you snuck out during work hours."

"Snuck out? I'm clearly here to meet my potential clients," Mona said seriously. "One is the head of a multinational corporation, and the other is a top lawyer. If my boss knew I was having lunch with you, he would have personally seen me off."

Emelie smiled, but Ashley said, "I'm no longer a lawyer."
