Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 723

Wesley, who was presumed to be in Mercianna, made a sudden and unexpected appearance. Even Emelie was taken aback, and the surprise was evident on everyone else's faces.

The moment Wesley appeared, William's jaw clenched visibly and his expression turned cold.

One of the guests, who had vaguely recognized Wesley but couldn't quite place him, suddenly had a realization. He gasped in astonishment and muttered, "That's Wesley, Mr. Graham's youngest son. He's been living abroad for years! I saw him at a banquet three years ago."

While the other guests hadn't seen Wesley before, they had heard of him. "Mr. Graham's youngest son? Then isn't he Mr. Cronus, the heir to the Filo Group?"

"Yes, that's him. But why is he going against Mr. Middleton again? They nearly fought at a banquet three years ago. Luckily, Mr. Graham intervened just in time. Back then, we all suspected it was because of a woman..."

The crowd grew, much to Emelie's irritation.

She had hoped to avoid a scene at Melanie's wedding and prevent stealing the spotlight from the bride and groom. This was why she had tolerated William for so long. However, things still escalated.

It couldn't be helped though. Both William and her were prominent figures in Capebatt City, and their mere presence attracted attention. On top of that, Wesley had arrived.

Wesley, standing tall and dressed impeccably in a black suit as usual, exuded an air of elegance. However, his demeanor was different from William's.

While William was cold and distant, Wesley resembled the white camellia pinned to his lapel—pure and elegant, yet understated.

Though he was reserved, Wesley didn't possess the same intimidating air as William. Amidst her frustration and anxiety, Emelie calmed down when she met Wesley's serene gaze.

"Emelie, come to me," Wesley said softly.

Emelie moved toward him without hesitation. Yet, William maintained his grip on her other hand, preventing her from reaching Wesley.

Wesley calmly said, "Mr. Middleton, even if you wish to invite my fiancee for a second dance, you need her agreement. As businessmen, we all know that coercing a deal is a subpar sales tactic."

The word "fiancee" caused William's gaze to darken.

He said, "When did you arrive in Capebatt City, Mr. Cronus? What a surprise."

Capebatt City was the Middleton family's territory, so Wesley's arrival shouldn't have gone unnoticed.
