Winning Her Heart Back

Manipulated 

Emelie hesitated briefly and said politely, “It’s fine. My place isn’t far from the firm. I’ll just take a cab. It’ll only be a half–hour ride.” 

“But you’ve been on a business trip recently, and Mona went back to her hometown. The apartment hasn’t been aired out in a while. It won’t be comfortable staying there,” Ashley responded. “Come home with me tonight. It’ll be more convenient for as to go to the hospital together in the morning. 

In fact, Emelie was worried about disturbing Ashley and her husband. 

Ashley saw through her concerns. She added, “I had some arguments with my husband lately, so I’ve been staying at my own place. It’s just me alone.” 

Hearing that, Emelie agreed and left the firm with Ashley. They soon arrived at Ashley’s apartment, which was just a ten–minute walk away from the firm 

Emelie took a hot shower and changed into the pajamas Ashley lent her before finally laying down to rest. However, the sudden news about Roman weighed heavily on her mind. Restless, she couldn’t sleep well the whole night 

Fortunately, Ashley was very efficient. The next morning, she had already sorted out all the necessary paperwork. She then said to Emelle, “We can go to the hospital now.” 

Without further delay, they headed to the hospital. Due to his identity as a prisoner, Ronan was put in a private room. His hands were cuffed to the bed, and his left leg was in a cast 

When Emelie saw him, his face was gaunt, and his lips were pale. White strands showed through his hair, making him look old and frail. 

“Emelie!” Ronan Imed to sit up but winced in pain as he accidentally moved his broken leg. 

“Don’t move,” Emelie hurried over to support him. 

A guard nearby barked, “1765, stay sti!!!” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Despite the pain, Ronan instinctively replied, “Yes, Sir!” 

Emelie’s nose tingled. Gritting her teeth, she helped him settle back. 

Ronan looked at her with a face full of guilt. “Emelie, does your mother know about the tight?” 

“No, and I won’t tell her Emelie sat down and frowned slightly. “But why did you get into a fight with another inmate? 

“This could extend your sentence. You were so close to being released Why risk it now? 

“L. I didn’t start it!” Ronan exclaimed, agitated. “Leonard came up to me saying all sorts of nasty things. Then, I lost my temper! 

“Just ignore him. You didn’t have to bother with him.” 

“He was talking about you! How could I just let him 

Emelie was puzzled. “Talking about me? What did he say? 

At the mention of this incident, Ronan was still visibly angry. “He said you were doing nithy jobs and that you slept with many men. He even said that they’d all taken advantage of you. That’s why I was furious!!! 

Emelie paused and sighed. “I don’t even know him. He was just trying to provoke you, and you fell for it.” 

Emelie couldn’t figure out why Leonard would go out of his way to anger her father 

“It’s not just that, Leonard was one of those men who came to our house demanding money!” Ronan suddenly revealed. Emelie’s expression turned serious. “Are you sure? “I’m confident I could recognize those guys anywhere. He was there with his boss, demanding me to hand you over as collateral There’s no way I’d mistake him!” 

Emelle held her breath. Leonard was one of the lackeys from the group that had entrapped her family with debts. He was also the lackey of the guy who had specifically demanded her as collateral. 

Her eyes fluttered. Those men were the guys who had ruined her family overnight. Their supermarket went bankrupt, their house was sold, and she herself had nearly been taken. 

away. 

After she had made some connections, Emelie tried to investigate those men, hoping to bring them to justice. But they had vanished without a trace. 

Now, with this new lead, she could track down Leonard and find his boss. She wanted to understand why they had targeted her family and specifically demanded her. Emelie had always felt manipulated when she thought about what had happened back then.
