Chapter 489 Pulling the Strings Elena watched from the sidelines, glancing at Wesley and then at Emelie.
She wasn't stupid. On the contrary, she was quite clever. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to make Emelie misunderstand that William would listen to her every word.
Hence, she had already figured everything out.
She leaned back in her chair with a sickly expression, she let out a strange, abrupt laugh. "So my schwasn't a total failure after all. It actually helped Mr. Middleton won over your heart.

"Oh, I get it. You've probably guessed the truth, but you're too scared to face it, right? After all, you're already wearing his ring. How will you cope when you find out now that you've trusted the wrong person?" Elena noticed the Eros ring on Emelle's ring finger but felt no jealousy this time. Instead, she found it laughable in the sense that they were both in the sboat.
Wesley frowned, displeased by Elena's mocking tone, but he didn't interrupt her. He wanted Emelie to understand just how naïve she was for still believing William was innocent.
Emelie was extremely tense. However, she refused to admit she was scared.
Why did she need to stay and listen to Elena's sarcastic taunts? She refused to heat any of it and turned to leave "Stop her." At Elena's command, the Allen family maids blocked Emelie's path, preventing her from leaving. Emelie turned to face her with a stoic expression With a small smile, Elenasaid, "Although you don't want to hear it, I want to tell you. The wolf has a winning gwhen the shepherds quarrel. I'm telling you, Mr. Middleton is the one pulling all the strings!" She got up from her chair, casually placing a blooming rose from its bush. She circled around Emelie while she tore off petals and tossed them to the ground.
She said, "Those two thugs were caught by William long ago. Why did he wait three days to hand them over to the police? Because he needed those three days to perfect my not-so-perfect scheme. You received inappropriate photos of me, didn't you? "The truth is I never had them sent to you initially thought the thugs were behind it, but now I realize it was William's plan. Without sending them to you, how could the evidence be linked to you? How else could the police have a reason to lock you up in the detention center? "If you hadn't ended up in there, how would you have fallen into utter despair? How could william have played the hero and rescued you, making you cling to him like a lifeline?" Emelie held her breath The incident from two months ago, She had nearly forgotten the details but they've resurfaced vividly in her mind with Elena's words.
She recalled the helplessness she felt upon receiving the photos and the anxiety of being summoned to the police station.
Memories of the relentless evidence and interrogations from the police flooded her mind. She remembered signing documents before being thrown into the detention center that only provided her foul-smelling stew and stale bread.
Her stomach had ached so badly that day, and she had writhed in pain on the detention center's cot, wondering why no one had cto save her.
Suddenly, William appeared like a savior, taking her away. She clung to him tightly because he showed up at that very moment She still remembered thinking that he was her only light in the dark world she was living in She fell silent
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer emotional side refused to believe was just Elena. After all, she was just trying to ruin her relationship with William. Did she have any evidence to support her claims?
However, her rational side reminded her how both Samuel and Charles m had been tied up with personal matters at the tso they didn't know what had happened to her. Hence, they couldn't cto her rescue. What a coincidence for both of them to be busy and unaware of her plight at the stime.
Could it really be just a coincidence? It's hard to call it a mere coincidence if so many of them happen simultaneously.
What if what Elena said was true? What if william had really orchestrated it all? Despite the sunny weather in Lionia, Emelie felt a chill run through her body as doubts clouded her heart.
Elena wasn't done yet. "There's one more thing. I thought it was a m coincidence at the time, but now it seems like Mr. Middleton was behind it too."
