Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 77

Lyle replied, "She got drunk."

"Did you all drink a lot of alcohol? Was it at Bryan's home?" Wesley frowned. He refused to believe that Emelie had a great time with them.

"We had some plum wine. That type of wine is quite potent. Even though we didn't drink too much, it's enough to get someone tipsy," Lyle explained.

"So, she's at the old house now?" Wesley asked.

"Yes," Lyle replied.

Wesley heard a woman's voice in the background of Lyle's call. "And you, Lyle?"

Lyle touched his cheek with his tongue. "Cronus, are you checking up on me? I don't see why I should answer these questions."

"You do have an obligation," Wesley said coldly.

"Emelie mentioned that you would be protecting her. That's why I brought Jodie along. Otherwise, I could have just asked Jodie. Since you've taken Jodie's place to be with her, then you have a responsibility to answer me. So where is she right now?" Wesley said.

Lyle remained uncooperative. "If you're so eager to find out, why don't you come back and see for yourself?"

Lyle ended the call right after.

Wesley immediately contacted the bodyguards that were protecting Emelie. They mentioned that Emelie and William had gone to Sunnington Hill two hours ago and had not yet returned.

Wesly put down his phone slowly. He suddenly grasped the entire situation. It was all a carefully crafted scheme.

Bryan and Natalia had conspired to cause the incident at the theme park. Their objectives were clear.

Firstly, they wanted to retaliate against Emelie.

Second, they wanted to lure Wesley away so that William could do whatever he wanted to Emelie with greater ease.

Thirdly, they wanted to amplify the incident's impact to weaken Wesley's position within Filo Group.

Wesley was angered. He glanced at the items on the sink and, in a fit of anger, swept them all onto the floor.

His expression turned cold as he remembered that day when he announced in front of William that their wedding was scheduled for April.

On their way back to the old house, Emelie had asked him why he had never mentioned that their wedding date was set for April.
