Chapter 493 No Tuming Back
Emelie fought back against her tears, tilting her head up to look at the sky.
Wasn’t it sunny just a moment ago? Why did the sun disappear so suddenly? Why did she find out the truth so suddenly? Did William ever love her?
For the past three years, she had been nothing but a tool for him, and now she was still his tool
How did she fall for him a second time after suffering once? Was it because of his high school crush on her? Was it because of that long–lost love letter?
If even the feelings he had that she saw with her own eyes were fake, how much truth was there in the things other people had told her about his feelings or his vague sweet talk? Emelie swallowed hard, trying with all her might to remove the ring, but the diamond wouldn’t budge. Even though the force tore her skin and made her knuckles bleed, the ring stayed firmly in place.
She gritted her teeth and forcefully tugged at it, but Wesley suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“That’s enough, Eme. This ring can’t be taken off.” Wesley said.
“Really? It can’t come off?” she asked, her voice trembằng.
“it’s an Eros ring. Its owners can only take it off after they die,” Wesley replied.
How could there be such an unreasonable ring in this world? How could there be such a heartless man like Williams? And how could she be so foolish, falling for the same person twice?
She recalled William calling her “Eme“, “angel“, and other sugar–coated words.
Faced with the harsh reality, she felt a wave of nausea and turned her head, retching.
However, the nausea persisted, and she retched several more times.
Wesley frowned, gently rubbing her back. “Eme, what’s wrong?”
She stared into the distance as she murmured, “How can such a disgusting person exist?i
Wesley knew that she had received too much information in just a few days. She had discovered she wasn’t the Hoven family’s biological daughter, had to deal with the Pierce family’s grudges, and found out William had been plotting against her all along. It was all too heavy and brutal for her.
However, he understood her well enough to know that if she didn’t leam the truth, she wouldn’t willingly leave with him.
Wesleylonelt in front of her. “Eme, don’t be afraid. I’ll take you away. We’ll go somewhere and leave all of this behind.”
Just as he said that a cold male voice interrupted them. “Mr. Graham, how many Umrs do I have to tell you that Emelie is my wife? What right do you have to take her away With that, a group of men stormed in, surrounding the entire Allen residence.
Elena, pale with fear, shouted, “Who are you people? What are you doing in my house?!”
These men looked fierce and menacing, clearly not with good intentions. They parted to create a path, and two men walked through.
Lyle was dressed in a tank top and cargo pants, although the weather in Liona wasn’t warm enough to warrant that.
His fit revealed his muscular arms and tanned skin. His wild and unruly appearance highlighted William’s refined elegant demeanor.
William was clad in a suit as he swept his gaze over to Wesley’s hand on Emelie’s back.
He looked at her pale face and said indifferently, “Emelie, come back with me when you’re done playing around.”
Emelie slowly looked at him.
Playing around? Did he expect her to go back to him?
Did he really think that his deceit, manipulation, and the destruction and death caused by past grudges were just acts of “playing around“? Did he really believe she could still go back with him after knowing the truth?
She couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
It made sense that he thought that way. Even after she had resigned and clearly distanced herself from him, even after he and Daphne had hurt her deeply, he still believed she would return.
He had always been confident in himself. No, it was more than that. He was confident in his abilities.
He had used threats, temptations, emotional manipulation, and sugar–coated words on her, playing everything by casually asking her to come back.
Emelbe looked at William and shook her head.
This time, there was no turning back
