Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 762

Emelie sat there, expressionless. No one could tell what was going through her mind. It wasn't until Charles finished laughing that she spoke.

She said, "Second question: Who sent the thief that stole my mother's artificial heart? Was it you? Did you send someone to kill my mother while having an assassin impersonate her to try and kill me?"

Charles wiped away his tears of laughter. "I'll admit to the latter."

If William hadn't arrived in time and shot an arrow at the assassin, she would have been dead at their hands.

Charles leaned back in his chair and returned to his indifferent demeanor.

He said, "At that point, we had no other choice but to kill you. If you had escaped, regrouped, and returned to attack us, like you're doing right now, we would've been in big trouble."

"But as for the former..." He shook his head. "I don't know. It wasn't me. Really, it wasn't."

Emelie believed him. By now, Charles had no reason to deny anything he'd done. The thief who had stolen the battery for Greta's artificial heart had nothing to do with him.

"Was it Beathan who sent them?" Emelie asked.

Charles shook his head. "He'd never mentioned it to me. It probably wasn't him either. His main target at the time was you. He was afraid that Wesley would help you escape, so he set his yacht on fire."

Emelie said, "So it wasn't Bryan either."

For one, Bryan didn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like that. Secondly, if he had done it, he wouldn't have dared to keep bringing up Greta and her situation.

There were only four options in total. If it wasn't the Davis, Collins, or Swanson families, who else could it have been?

"So it was William." Emelie closed her eyes and slowly repeated, "It was William, after all..."

She started to laugh. "No matter how touching your stories are, they can't change the fact that William ultimately killed my mother, just like how he shot that arrow at me. These are undeniable facts. This is the truth."

All those painstaking efforts, all that meticulous planning. What difference did it make in the end? She only asked if it was William who did the killing.
