Winning Her Heart Back

 Came Back Alive

After they caused such a commotion, William and the others were ushered away from the wedding scene and directed to the living room.

The butler wore a serious expression. "I'm sorry, but Mrs. Senior Renaud requested that you leave the estate immediately."

Charles stood up from the couch, looking at the others. He had expected Arsen to come and ask about the situation. Instead, they were being shown the door out.

Their companies were not just well-known nationally but were also ranked among the Fortune 500, yet Arsen directly requested them to leave. It was clear that he was enraged.

Charles manufactured a smile. "This is a misunderstanding. Let us speak with Mr. Renaud. We'll explain ourselves in person."

The butler was devoid of his previous politeness. "Because of your 'misunderstanding', Mrs. Senior Renaud's blood pressure has spiked. She's now being treated by a family doctor. Mr. Senior Renaud is by her side and cannot meet with guests.

"However, he wanted me to let you know about this. When the first contract expires, it'll mark the end of all cooperation between the Aurora Group and the Xanther Group."

After he finished, the butler turned around and walked away.

"Wait!" Charles called after the butler, but the man didn't stop.

Charles' face fell, and he turned to William.

William's expression was heavy, cold and unreadable.

"Mr. Middleton, don't you think you acted a bit rashly this time?" Charles said.

Elias lifted an eyebrow. "What's the matter? Trying to pin the blame on him? Didn't you all play a part in this earlier?"

Elias could see through their intentions, but he chose not to expose them.

He continued, "You all thought that if Emelie had truly come back from the dead, stopping the wedding would make Arsen abandon her, which was more beneficial to you all. That's why you all acted together. But now that Arsen's mad, you're trying to pin the blame on him? It doesn't work like that."

Elias had become sharper, and more dangerous than he was a few years ago.

Bryan massaged his eyebrows. "Arguing about who's to blame is pointless. We're all in this together. Fighting won't do us any good. Obviously, we've been set up."

Charles scoffed. "Ain't that it? Ever since we landed in Baliz, we've stepped right into her trap."

She knew William struggled to sleep on planes. She also knew their individual preferences. The hydrangeas, the wedding venue, the wedding dress, and the ring were all carefully planned.

She gradually deepened their doubts, making them believe that she was the bride. She provoked them to cause a scene at the wedding, infuriating Arsen. Ultimately, destroying their partnership with the Aurora Group.

Her plan worked perfectly, and everything unfolded just as she expected.

Charles narrowed his eyes. "What did that bride say in sign language at the end? I didn't catch it, but it felt really unsettling."

Beathan had studied sign language, and he understood what she had gestured. He replied, "She said she was asking us on behalf of her sister if we liked the gift. She's Ashlyn Hoven, the one daughter in the Hoven family who eloped with someone."Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

They had been searching for Ashlyn but had found no leads. They never expected Emelie to have already gotten in touch with Ashlyn. Now that she has become Arsen's adopted daughter, they couldn't afford to make any hasty decisions with the status that she has.

Being gone for two years, Emelie had indeed done a lot.

Charles was amazed at Emelie. "Ms. Hoven is not only back from the dead, but she's also more capable than ever. She's made a statement without even showing herself."

William was sitting on the couch, remaining silent with a cold expression on his face.

Just then, Ashton rushed in from outside. "Mr. Middleton! We have a problem!"

William lifted his gaze.

"Mr. Middleton Senior... he might not make it," Ashton said, his voice strained and trembling.
