Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 700 TIs Past That was impossible.

William was the one who had killed Emelie with his own hands and ordered her body to be thrown into the sea. He should be the person who was most certain that she was dead.

Even though he had bought that house, it was only to ease his own guilt and to give his conscience srest. That was all.

Jodie noticed that Emelie had been standing there for too long and called out to her.

Emelie replied coldly, "Find us a hotel to stay in. We'll return to Capebatt City in three days." "Alright," Jodie said.

As Emelie turned, she pushed William and his words completely out of her mind. "Jodie, I have William's spies around me. Find out who they are." "What?" The fact that they had William's spies around them was serious.

Jodie quickly complied. "Yes, I'll do that!" Three days later, traffic in Borealis City had mostly returned to normal, and Emelie and her team took a plane back to Capebatt City after being away for more than half a month.

Capebatt City had also entered deep winter. It had snowed the previous night, and frost was clinging to the bare branches of trees.

Emelie went straight to the prison to see Charles instead of returning to the hotel to rest.

Charles had been officially detained, so he was brought out by the prison guards. When they met, there was an iron bar barrier between them.

When she saw him, Emelie slowly recited a poem, "The wind has stilled, and the dust has cleared. The flowers fade as day appears.

"The world remains, yet all has changed. Time's passed by, and tears have ranged.

"Everything's ended, tis past. Tears fall first, words clast." "That's 'The Late Spring', a poem by Quill Leonard. The next lines are: 'I've heard the spring at Twin Creeks is still so fine; "I planned to drift in a boat of mine. But I fear that the craft, with my sorrows in tow, might not bear the weight of my grief and woe," Charles continued the poem with a relaxed tone.

It was as if he were still the suave and sophisticated Mr. Davis from the four wealthiest families in the business circle.

Emelie smiled slightly. "Mr. Davis, I've only been away on a business trip for half a month. How did you end up like this?" Charles sat down on the iron chair. "That's why the poem says, "The world remains, yet all has changed.' You arrived just in time, Ms. Pierce. If you had been a few days later, I might have already been sentenced." Emelie smiled. "Embezzlement, though it's a massive amount, will probably only get you five to seven years. It won't be the death penalty. Even if you're in prison, I can still apply for a visit." Charles laughed softly. "Ms. Pierce, you're so righteous. I'm really touched. Thank you." He thanked her again. "Thank you for setting up this situation just for me. You really holdin high regard." Emelie remained composed. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Davis?" Charles spread his hands. He was wearing an orange jumpsuit from the detention center and had handcuffs on. "I'm already in this state, so there's no need for you to pretend anymore, Ms. Pierce," he said.

"Are you saying that I caused your current situation, Mr. Davis?" Emelie feigned innocence.

She explained, "You're wrongfully accusing me, Mr. Davis. During this period, I was trapped in Borealis City by the snowstorm and couldn't even leave the house. My phone was unreliable, so how could I have orchestrated such a big affair?" Charles looked at her, not blinking.

Emelie leaned back in her chair and began to ask, "Did I cut off the Davis Group's funding?" "No," Charles replied.

"Did I stop banks or your friends from lending money to you?" she asked.

"No," he replied.

"Did I encourage you to use the charity funds?" she asked.

"No," he replied.

"Did I report your embezzlement or incite public opinion online to attack the Davis Group?" she asked. Charles answered, "No, you did nothing. But that's the brilliance of your methods-achieving your goals without direct confrontation." Emelie smoothed the wrinkles in her coat as she smirked.

Charles suddenly called out to her. "Ms. Hoven." Emelie looked up.

Charles said, "We all know you cback to take revenge for the Pierce O and Hoven families. We were prepared for you to take action, but you were so brilliant that every step you took left us with no choice." He began to recount her actions in detail. "First, you cut off the cooperation between the Xanther Group and the Aurora Group, then forced the death of Mr. Middleton Senior.

"Mrs. Middleton and William already had conflicts over the distribution of assets. With his death, the conflicts exploded.

"While Mrs. Middleton started a public opinion campaign online, you stirred the pot, mixing everything together. This brought chaos to William, the Cloudex Corporation, and the Xanther Group.

"Then, you made your appearance, clarifying the situation and proposing a partnership with Filo Group Under those circumstances, we had no choice but to agree to you, or we would have sunk deeper and deeper into the mire of public opinion. Our situation would only worsen." They didn't let their guard down and invite the wolf in. However, she had still been able to pushed them into a dead end.

It was only when Charles was arrested and taken to the detention center that he gradually realized all of that.
