Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie Hoven )
Chapter 504

Chapter 504 His Hatred

Abel and Ashton had been sitting in the front seats of the car the whole time. However, they had developed the ability to lower their presence almost to the point of non-existence when William didn't need them.

Upon William's command, Abel immediately started the vehicle.

William said coldly, "Tell Fabian to bring some people with him to Eastbay. Before we get home, all knives, porcelain, sharp objects, and anything that can be used to harm oneself or others in the house must be replaced or disposed of to avoid harming Mrs. Middleton."

Ashton replied in a low tone, "Got it."

Emilie knew that William was being protective of her. But, what else could she do? She could only go with the flow.

Their car drove straight toward Eastbay while Charles' car remained parked by the roadside.

Charles asked, "Did you see anything when you followed them to the hospital?"

Beathan didn't say a word, which meant that the answer was a no.

Charles was sleepy. He yawned lazily and asked, "You saw them kissing in the car just now. They seem to be getting along well. They should be going home together now. If you don't believe it, then should we continue to follow them?"

Beathan fiddled with the rosary bracelet in his hand as he said, "It's fine."

Charles shrugged. "Although Xander Pierce is Ms. Hoven's biological father, she doesn't even know him. They are practically strangers. How should I put it? If I were Ms. Hoven, I wouldn't have any emotional attachment to Xander either.

"Meanwhile, William is the man she's loved for so many years. I think the possibility of her siding with William is higher."

As Beathan pondered, Charles continued, "If she chooses Xander, she'll be walking on a thorny path where she could lose her life if she's not careful. But if she chooses William, she'll be the lady of the Middleton family and the wife of the CEO of Cloudex Corporation. Even a fool would know which one to choose."

Beathan raised his head. "Do you really like her that much? You've been speaking up for her this whole time. Weren't you actively searching for the account book before?"

"That's another matter." Charles sat back casually. "Finding the account book is a must. Ms. Hoven is someone I once had feelings for. I'm a person who treats women with kindness. I just think that there's no need to go to extremes."

"Treating women kindly doesn't always yield good results." Beathan wore the rosary bracelet on his wrist. The sparkling bracelet on his hand seemed like a venomous snake ready to bite.

Charles squinted. "Your mood hasn't been right since you came out of the hospital. Did you meet someone you know there?"

The relationship between the four families was rather odd.

Beathan had a close relationship with Charles, who in turn was connected to Bryan, and Bryan was closely linked to William. Their bonds were not like William's relationships with Jayden and Elias, which were more personal. Instead, theirs were rooted in shared interests and mutual benefits.

"I had indeed met someone I know there, and I had even learned something unpleasant." Beathan then signaled for the driver to unlock the car door so that he could get out. "Let's leave it at that for today." Charles raised an eyebrow. After making a gesture of farewell, he had the driver drive away. Beathan walked alone on the road as he contemplated the situation with Emelie and Ashley.

He thought that Emelie's presence was unstable and that Ashley's unborn child was particularly bothersome. He felt more inclined to get rid of Emelie now, especially after he learned about Ashley's pregnancy.

Bryan was right. He hated anyone who was related to someone he didn't like.

The more he disliked Elias, the more he found faults with William, and the more he resented Emelie.

As he twirled the rosary bracelet in his hand, his thoughts were consumed by dark resentment. Suddenly, he noticed a car parked beneath a tree up ahead. The vehicle's hazard lights flashed twice, clearly signaling him to get in and talk.

Beathan paused, and his mind raced. Who was in that car?
