Winning Her Heart Back

Chapter 819 You Know I Love You

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.

He certainly lived up to his reputation as a great lawyer. He'd done all these things-car accidents, kidnappings, bombings-without leaving a shred of evidence.

There was no catching him without setting a trap. Hence, Emelie and Wesley staged an act of their relationship falling apart.

They acted their parts to perfection, successfully fooling Beathan and Natalia, who had secretly planted listening devices and hidden cameras in their car, office, and the old house.

The more convincingly they acted, the more reckless Beathan and Natalia became, allowing them to gather the evidence of their crimes.

The slap was fake, the choking was fake, and even confining her at the estate and refusing to let her see a doctor was all fake.

Emelie and William had managed to escape Natalia's relentless pursuit in the past few days, all thanks to Wesley's meticulous planning. Emelie didn't let William contact his men because she didn't want things to be

too safe.

Given the current public uproar, no amount of protection could save Beathan and Natalia. No one would dare come forward to save them.

It was killing two birds with one stone. Not only could they remove Natalia, the opposition within the Filo

family to Wesley, but they could also get rid of Emelie's enemy, Beathan.

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.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

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."
