Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 479 Troublemaker Henry coughed violently in the middle of his sentence. William stood up immediately and patted Henry's back, then handed him a glass of water.

William frowned. He wanted to ask Henry if he had ailments other than hypertension.

But Henry didn't take the glass of water and grasped William's wrist instead. The water spilled out from the glass and scalded William's hand.

Henry didn't seem to notice. He stared intently at William, his eyes clouded with age yet flickering with a dark light, like a weak yet ferocious beast.

His voice was raspy due to the coughing, sounding like an elderly man as he said each word. “William, I know you've always harbored resentment towardfor what happened with your mother ever since you were young.

"It's all my fault. I owe both of you an apology. Now, the only way I can atone is to offer you the Middleton family's inheritance and Cloudex Corporation. They will be yours in the future." Vanessa was standing outside the door, the expression on her face cold.

William was still hunched over and patting Henry's back as he looked at Henry. The bedside lamp shone on his cold face, making him look rather dark and gloomy.

Henry continued, "It hasn't been easy for Cloudex Corporation to reach its current heights. Now that it's yours, you have to find the ledger n-no matter what! Nothing and no one should stand in Cloudex's way!" William remained unmoved and silent.

Henry seemed to have used up all his strength speaking, and he abruptly released William's hand. He slumped back against the headboard, gasping for breath. His eyes remained fixed on sunseen point in the distance.

William heard his father's incoherent and confusing mutterings. "I beat Xander. Victory is mine... Cloudex cannot fall. William, Cloudex cannot fall. I cannot lose to Xander, or I'll die with regret... Xander, you won't defeat me.....” William left the master bedroom and went downstairs.

Vanessa was walking out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of Henry's herbal medicine.

When Vanessa saw William leaving, she asked eagerly, "William, are you leaving already? Won't you stay with your father a little longer?" William simply walked out of the main house.

Vanessa watched him go, her smile slowly fading. She looked at the bowl of medicine before shifting her gaze toward the second floor.

William stepped into the yard.

The sky was still cloudy, and the air was damp and chilly. Everyone in Capebatt City hated weather like this. Alfred opened the car door for William.

William instructed, "Once my father's blood pressure stabilizes, persuade him to get a comprehensive health screening at the hospital." "I will. Mr. Middleton Senior is actually in good health. It's just that last night's news hit him hard. It has always been a sensitive topic for him," Alfred said.

Alfred had been working for Henry for a few decades, and he was in his fifties. William would address him as "Mr. Caine".

William asked, "How involved was my father in that whole mess?" Alfred said honestly, "At least 40 percent. That's why he's so afraid. He fears that the matter will resurface, and by then, it will implicate Cloudex Corporation. Cloudex represents his life's work, and your grandfather's as well." 40 percent? That was significant.

William suddenly felt irritated, and he glanced back at the second floor. "He truly is a troublemaker." Alfred countered, "Regardless, he's still your father, and you're still a Middleton. If the Pierce family seeks revenge, you'll be their r primary target. It's 's best to strike first." William gave Alfred a glance before getting in the car.

He instructed the driver, "To Cloudex." On his journey there, he kept turning his wedding ring. It was a custom-made male version of Emelie's Eros ring. It was also his wedding band.

Initially, he had wanted Emelie to slip it on his finger when they got married, but a manufacturing delay had held it up for a few days. It had only arrived this morning.

It seemed like things would never go his way.

Just then, Lyle called. "Will, we found out that Wesley left Capebatt City by sea last night." William asked, "A cruise ship?"

"Yes. Wesley has a cruise named 'Moonlight Voyage'. It left the part during the storm last night. We are still tracking its route," Lyle said. William growled, “Informimmediately once you find out their destination." Lyle answered, "Got it." After Lyle ended the call, he chewed on his gum.

Moonlight Voyage...

He sneered without restraint. It was fine if William used that name, but who did Wesley think he was? " William arrived at the company. He was an hour later than usual.
