Winning Her Heart Back

Tension Mounts 

“Haha! I’d love to introduce you to my daughter, Mr. Middleton, but I’m afraid you might not be interested!” Joseph said. 

Another person quickly chimed in, “Joseph, this won’t do! How can you be so shameless in promoting yourself? My sister has admired Mr. Middleton for a long time! Mc. Middleton, my sister just graduated from university this year, and she’s here today. Let me call her over to meet you!” 

William smiled lightly. “I appreciate everyone’s landness, but I’m already married.” 

Everyone was surprised. None of them had heard about this. 

The marriage of the President of Cloudex Corporation is a significant event that could affect the stock market. Why has no one heard about it? 

“Mr. Middleton, may I ask which family’s daughter you married?” one person asked. 

“I’m sure everyone here knows about her,” William said. 

He had never intended to keep his marriage a secret. He felt it was entirely appropriate to publicly acknowledge Emelie as his wife at an event hosted by the Graham family. 

He continued, “She’s my former…” 

However, before he could end his sentence with the word “secretary, a cold voice interrupted his impending disclosure. “Without the official stamp and the marriage certificate, how does that constitute a marriage? 

No one had ever dared to interrupt Witam publicly, let alone refute him. The voice was sudden and audacious. 

The several executives around William burned to look and saw a man with a striking appearance, which was no interior to William’s, walking gracefully towards them. 

He wore a white suit, though not pure white. His vest underneath was gray, and his tie was blue. It added a touch of elegance to his otherwise pristine white attire, which perfectly complemented his refined and aloof demeanor. 

The executives noticed his exceptional presence, but were unfamiliar with who he was. 

Everyone present at the banquet was a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Yet none of them seemed to have seen him in Capebatt City before. 

only one possibility came to mind. 

“Are you Norman’s younger son, Wesley Graham?” someone asked. 

Correct 

It was Wesley. 

Wam turned around slowly. His gaze finallymet those hazel–brown eyes after a decade. 

If William was like an unapproachable snow–capped mountain, Wesley was like an isolated dense forest 

The snow–capped mountain was treacherous and cold, while the dense forest was hidden and serene. 

The mountain could kill without a trace, while the forest could sustain and nourish itself. 

William’s voice was devoid of warmth as he said, “She wears my ring, and we signed the document at the civil registry. And yet, you’re saying we’re not married? 

Wesley’s voice was equally unapologetic. “A ring can be worn and removed, and a signed document without an official stamp is invalid.‘ 

There was a palpable tension between the two only after two exchanges. Several executives started to exchange glances with each other, 

Were they discussing the same woman? 

Those who could engage William in conversation were naturally astute individuals. They sensed that something significant must be happening, and their gazes alterated between the two men. 

One was the undisputed top figure in Capebatt City, while the other was the rising star poised to reshape Capebart City 

They clashed over a woman the moment they met. Something like this had never happened before 

However, they were not given much time to delve deeper into it 

Norman’s hearty laughter interrupted the argument. “Will, I thought you would be late today. Turns out you’re already here and chatting with Wesley!” 

Norman approached William with a smile and greeted the others. The conference is about to begin. Let’s take our seats.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

This was a subtle way to disperse the onlookers. 

Although the executives were curious about what had happened, they know the occasion and their identities. They couldn’t continue watching like they were at a marketplace, witnessing a dispute between the two, 

Thus, they dispersed. Though each of them was sure to investigate the woman’s background later. 

William did imply that everyone present would likely recognise the woman he mentioned. 

Norman patted William’s shoulder with one hand and Wesley’s with the other. It was as though he was urging the two to shake hands and resolve their differences on the spot.
