Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 779

Emelie walked to the area near the window. She retrieved two glass cups and pressed a button on the water dispenser, filling each cup halfway. She handed one to Wesley.

As he reached out for the cup, she looked at him intently and asked, "You came so quickly. Did you find out about what happened last night?"

Wesley met her gaze calmly but remained silent. His lack of response confirmed Emelie's suspicion. He was indeed aware of the events.

As his fiancée, it was her duty to explain the situation involving another man. Even though they were drugged and did not reach fourth base, Emelie still felt like she owed him an explanation.

However, how was she supposed to explain this? She furrowed her brow and moved her lips, struggling to find the right words.

Wesley took the glass of water from her without showing any signs of anger or blame. His voice was composed as he said, "I already know about it. It's not your fault. The one who's responsible for it will pay."

Emelie knew his approach to solving problems—he had always been unforgiving.

She couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly are you planning to look for? William was also drugged."

"I'm not going after him," he said, gazing into her eyes. "Eme, are you worried? Are you afraid that I might cause trouble for William?"

His disappointment was not directed at her for what had happened with William under the influence of a drug. Instead, it was her thinking there was a chance that he would harm William.

For the first time, Emelie avoided his gaze. "I think what's more important now is to solve the theme park issue in Eprand. We can't let the public outcry escalate any further."

Despite her hangover and lack of sleep, Emelie was keenly aware of the urgency of the situation.

Wesley responded, "Yes, I've booked a flight for you to Eprand for tonight. You should pack your things and go first. I'll sort out things here and join you as soon as I can."

Emelie felt uneasy and asked, "What things do you need to sort out here?"

Wesley simply replied, "Jodie will accompany you. I trust her more than anyone else."

...

The situation in Eprand was indeed pressing. Emelie quickly packed her belongings and left with Jodie and her bodyguards in tow.

On the way to the airport, they encountered a car accident that blocked the road, almost causing them to miss their flight.

They ended up having to run to catch the plane, adding to Emelie's sense of unease as she settled into her seat.

Hours later, they finally landed in Eprand.

As they walked out of the airport, Emelie switched off airplane mode on her phone and was about to call Wesley to inform him of her arrival. However, her phone was bombarded with news alerts.
