Chapter 497 Congratulations, Mr. Middleton 

William pressed harder against her, not letting her path him away. 

say you e 

He said, “What’s wrong with using a little strategy to pursue the person 1 Hike? Didn’t you say not for me?” 

i could accept a bit of scheming between adults? Why was it okay for Samuel bur 

Emelie couldn’t believe he was using that as an excuse. “Don’t twist my words! Those aren’t the same thing!” 

“How is it not? And didn’t you say that everything before putting on the ring would be water under the bridge? Doesn’t this count too?” William said

For the first time in her life, Emelie was so furious that she couldn’t form a response. How dare he claims that his manipulative actions were just because he liked ber? 

He hid his true nature and pretended to change just to win her over. He even manipulated public opinion and caused trouble for her dad. They were all a part of his strategy to pursue her 

Was she expected to forgive him for everything just because he liked her and because she said that everything before putting on the ring was water under the bridge? 

Emelie gripped his shirt tightly, feeling a sharp pain in her stomach. 

“Her stomach always hurt when she was emotional Hence, it hurt like crazy as she was furious at him. It was just like him to render her speechless in their arguments. 

She tried to break free with all her might. “Let me go, William! Let me go!” 

William noticed that her face was pale and thought that she was suffering from hunger pains

He grabbed her wrist and draped her out of the cabin. “Eat something” 

Emelie grabbed the door frame with her other hand, causing a loud bang as they struggled, 

Lyle, who was outside, heard the noise and immediately walked over, seeing them in a standoff at the doorway. 

Emelie stared at Willam for a few seconds. 

As she exhaled, she forced herself to calm down. “If I help you replace that ledger, will you let my mom and me go?! 

Since they met, she had mentioned the ledger numerous times. She also kept on insisting on leaning 

William returned her a stare “Is that all you have to say to me? 

Emelie replied with a mocking laugh. “What else is there to say?” 

There’s plenty,” William said calmly. “The busy period of my business at the start of the year is over. We can start planning our wedding now. Since you’ve quit Swanson Corporation, you can focus on preparing for a baby after our marriage. Previously, you suggested having a child, and I think it’s a good idea” 

Emelie was stunned by his words. “Are you crazy? 

He wanted her to have a wedding and a baby with him? 

“In your dreams!” She forcefully pulled her hand away 

William grabbed her again, holding her tightly. “We can discuss this at home. For now, eat something.” 

“I don’t have a home with you!” she yelled. 

Emelie denied everything between them without hesitation. If she could turn back time to that rainy night four years ago, she would never have gotten into his car. If she had done that, they wouldn’t be entangled with each other. 

“No matter how you twist things, we’re not married until we get the certificate. I won’t have a wedding with you, and I won’t have a child with you!“* Emelie said. 

Given his power and status, he could probably produce a fake marriage certificate. Hence, she added, “If you try to force me, I’ll kill myself” 

William’s eyes darkened, and he tightened his grip on her hand. “Why are you resorting to such tactics? When did you learn to play these stupid games? 

“I’ve always been stupid! I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have believed you liked me since high school just because of a story Elena told me. 1 wouldn’t have rushed back to Capebatt City overight to search for love letters in a pile of junk. And I wouldn’t have waited for you at the town entrance because I was moved by your words!” 

With that, she violently shook his hand off. 

This time, William didn’t grab her again 

Emelle, her breathing heavy and labored from anger, curled her lips into a sneer. 

With bloodshot eyes, she said, “William, you must have laughed at me for being blinded by your love, and for obeying you without question 

She had thought infidelity and shifting affections were the worst things that could happen between them. However, she now realized that the deceit and manipulation that happened after their reconciliation would end their relationship. 

“Anyway, if I die, you can finally report to the other three families that the Pierce family is completely wiped out, with no one left to threaten your positions. Congratulations, Me. Middleton, you can rest peacefully now!” Emelie said, mocking him.
