Winning Her Heart Back

Let Me Stay with You 

People would gather for profit in the business world. William had specifically left the hospital to meet with Liam Taylor of Vertex Capital Holdings because it was profitable. 

Over the course of a meal, the two men finalized a project collaboration. As they shook hands after signing the agreement, Liam glanced at Ashton thoughtfully. 

“Mr. Middleton, I recall you had a secretary named Hoven, didn’t you?” 

Ashton’s expression tumed to shock as she looked sharply at Liam. She hadn’t expected someone entirely unrelated to bring up Emelle suddenly. 

william, however, understood why he was asking and calmly responded, “Yes, she nearly joined Vertex Capital Holdings as your secretary. Mr. Liam, it’s surprising you still temember after all this time.” 

When Emelie left Cloudex Corporation, she sought employment elsewhere. She nearly secured a contract with Vertex Capital Holdings. 

Tam smiled. “It’s hard to forget a talent. Is she no longer at Cloudex Corporation? 

William’s gaze fell on their clasped hands. He still wore his wedding ring, with the diamond catching the light subtly. He smirked. “She’s no longer with us.” 

Liam expressed regret but didn’t press further. After the handshake, be leit 

Ashton felt a mix of emotions. 

Some people, even in death, leave a lasting impression. Many in the business circle probably still remember the brilliant chief secretary from Cloudex Corporation. 

They didn’t stay long at the Westward Club and left shortly afterward. 

As they walked down the corridor, a figure suddenly stumbled out of a private room and nearly crashed into William. 

William stepped back to avoid the person. The woman fell to the ground and looked up in panic. Upon seeing him, her face lit up with joy. 

Following that, she crawled over and grabbed the edge of William’s trousers. “Mr. Middleton, save me! Mr. Middleton, please save me!” 

William stood still as a rotund man burst out of the private room. The man then grabbed the woman’s hair to drag her back. 

“You filthy slut! How dare you act pure while selling yourself!” 

“I’m not! I was tricked into this! I’m just here because eded money, but ver agreed to sell myself.” 

“If you need money, just serve me well! I’ll give you all the money that you want!” 

“No! No! Mr. Middleton, save me!” the woman screamed desperately. 

William’s expression remained unmoved. 

The man cursed, “What kind of bullshit are you talking about! Tonight, you’re mine! I’d like to see who dares to interfere!” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

After hearing him saying that, William called out to Ashton. She understood immediately and said, “Security” 

The guards quickly appeared and seized the rotund man. Confused, he continued to shout and curse, “Who are you? Who dares to interfere with my business?” Ashton stepped forward. “Sir, the Westward Club does not tolerate forcing women. If you don’t follow this rule, then you need not stay in Capebatt City 

“You.. You 

“We are from Cloudex Corporation, the Middleton family.” Ashton’s words sobered the man instantly. Realizing he had offended an influential figure, he apologized repeatedly. William had already started walling out. He didn’t acknowledge anyone. His people would handle the aftermath. 

As they exited the Westward Club and he was about to get into the car, the rescued woman ran out. “Mr. Middleton! Mr. Middleton, thank you for saving me. Do you remember me? 

William’s gaze briefly flicked over her face. He didn’t recognize her and didn’t speak, 

In fact, this woman was the same person who had tried to seduce William during a previous gathering at the Westward Club with Jayden and others. 

She bit her lip. “Thank you for saving me earlier. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what else I could do. I.. I’m really not a prostitute. I only came to work because my family owed money. Even last time.” 

William wasn’t interested in hearing more. He bluntly interrupted, “So why did you chase after me?” 

“I heard that your wedding didn’t go through.” The fox–eyed woman saw this as a potential moment to change her fate. Gathering her courage, she said, “Can I stay by your vide? I’ll do anything you ask!” 

Grily then did William give her a proper look.
