Winning Her Heart Back

Distant and Unfamiliar 

The main fell incessantly, as if it would never end, causing summer to be delayed in Capebari Ory, 

By aletle after four in the afternoon, the sky had already turned dark. The rain added a veil–like misty haze, blurring the view. 

William stepped out of Cloudex Corporation, with Ashton following close behind. Ashton held a large black umbrella, shielding William as he got into the car. Then they headed to the hospital 

Greta was staying at the Central Hospital. She was treated by the doctors that William spent a substantial amount to hire. Hana was also there to take care of her as well. 

However, the patients, family members, and passersby in her ward were all hired by William. They were all stationed there to keep watch of her. 

Greta had been quietly held captive. Without William’s approval, Greta couldn’t leave, and no one from the outside could meet her. 

Nevertheless, she remained unaware of that. 

William arrived at the door of the ward, and the nurse excused Eliana out. 

When Eliana exited the ward, she stayed silent upon seeing william she lowered her head and quickly walked away. 

Lately, her husband had started a new job as a manager at a Cloudex Corporation subsidiary. That seemed to explain her actions. 

When William entered the ward alone, Greta lifted her head, looking momentarily surprised. A look of joy quickly spread across her face, and she hurriedly glanced behind hun. 

“Will, you’re here… Where’s Eme? Didn’t she come with you? It’s been five days since she last visited me. Her phone was off, too. 

Did something happen to her? Did she get sick from the ram? Or has she gone back to work in Yanille City? That can’t be, though. She would’ve told me if she did… Will? Why aren’t you saying anything?” Greta hit William with a barrage of questions. 

William maintained a cold expression. 

Greta couldn’t tell why William, in his tailored seat, felt different from when they met at Alderbrook during the New Year. He felt more distant, more unfamiliar. 

Greta stared at William, a sense of unease growing deep within her. 

“Where’s Eme? Where’s my daughter?” Greta asked, confused. 

“Whether you want her here or not, Mrs. Hoven, the decision is up to you. It all depends on whether you choose to cooperate with us,” William replied, his tone devoid of emotions. 

“What what do you mean? Cooperate with what?” dreta was confused. 

“You told Emelie about her true lineage. Did you tell her where the ledger is?” William asked bluntly. 

Greta clutched her blanket tightly, her gaze faltering “What ledger? What are you talking about? Why are you bringing that up? 

“Emelie must ve told you that Mr. Hoven’s suicide was because of the ledger. If you want to keep her out of the Pierce family’s mess, hand it over. Otherwise, Mr. Hoven’s death would be for nothing.” am said: 

Ronan sacrificed himself in exchange for Emelie’s safety. If Greta didn’t comply, it would mean that they would still come after Emelie. 

Greta looked at William, who were an ice cold demeanor. 

Suddenly, something struck her mind, and her breath quickened with anxiety. 

She leaned in closer and asked, “You said your name WS…….” 

“Middleton. The Middleton family of the Cloudex Corporation,” Wiliam said clearly 

Greta fell back, and a lood thad sounded as her head knocked on the headboard. Her face betrayed a disarray of emotions. 

How could that be? 

Previously, Greta had asked Willam about his job, and he mentioned he had his own business 

Greta sensed he wasn’t an ordinary businessman. However, she never connected him to the Middleton family, who ran Codes Corporation. 

She was well aware of who had taken down the Xander Group back then. If she had known William was from the Middleton family, she would never have agreed to Emelie’s marriage. 

Greta finally understood why Roman was fiercely against Emelie’s marriage. He knew William’s identity. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

You…you only married Emelie to get your hands on the ledger!” Greta murmured, her heart racing 

The next instant, she tried leaping out of bed, but was held down by the hired members in the ward. 

She continued to struggle, desperate to lunge at William. 

“Where’s Time? What did you do to her? She doesn’t know anything. Don’t you dare touch her!” she yelled. 

It’s been live days since Greta had last seen Emelle. She couldn’t imagine what Emelie would have to go through. 

Willam stood motionless, his tone unchanged. “You need to calm down. If something happens to you, then there’ll be no one to protect your daughter.” 

Grete panted hewly 

By supporting Lanelle’s marriage, Greta had unwittingly sent Emelic into the lion’s den. She had let Emelie marry the son of her father’s remy
