Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 478 Taking Revenge On Us
1/3
It was still cloudy the day after the storm.
Just past nine in the morning, William drove his car through the gates of the Middleton Residence.
As soon as the car rolled into the yard, Henry's secretary, Alfred Caine, who had been waiting for some time, strode over and opened the car door. "Mr. Middleton, you've arrived. Mr. Middleton Senior is waiting for you in the master bedroom on the second floor."
"The master bedroom?" William glanced at Alfred before hurrying into the house.
He climbed up the stairs swiftly and steadily. "Is he sick?"
"Yes. His blood pressure skyrocketed to 200 last night, and he fainted on the spot. Thankfully, the family doctor was around and stabilized him. We checked his blood pressure again this morning at seven, and it's still very high," Alfred said.
William's steps faltered momentarily.
Henry had been diagnosed with hypertension for a while. Whenever he argued with Henry, Emelie would be at the side reminding him of Henry's condition. Yet, this time, it seemed far more severe.
William frowned as reached the master bedroom. The door was ajar, and he saw Vanessa sitting on the edge of the bed and feeding Henry some soup.
Alfred announced softly, "Sir, madam, Mr. Middleton is here."
William walked into the room and saw his father sitting up and leaning against the headboard.
He was nearing sixty. But he was once a powerful business mogul. Now, he appeared frail and sickly. Sal*h the Find Nøvil.not website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
His face was flushed with a deep red, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Deep lines had formed around his nose with age.
The curtains were drawn and only the bedside lamp was switched on, so it was dim. It made the atmosphere seem even more somber.
Vanessa stood up hurriedly. "William, you're here. I hope I didn't disrupt your work. Your father woke up in the middle of the night and insisted on seeing you.
"It was four in the morning then, so I convinced him to wait. If you hadn't returned this morning, he would have gone straight to the company to find you. The doctor said that he has to rest in bed."
William ignored Vanessa and walked straight to the bed. "Dad."
Henry coughed twice and said weakly, "Everyone, leave. I need to speak with William privately."
The secretary nodded and left the room.
Vanessa didn't know why Henry wanted to see William so urgently. She tried to pry while she was feeding him earlier, but to no avail.
Now, she was being sent away again. Her eyes flickered, but she still smiled and nodded.
"Alright, dear. I'll go check on your medication and bring it up when it's ready. William, remember your father's condition. Try to be patient and not provoke him," Vanessa said.
William couldn't be bothered to talk to her. He remained cold and did not even spare her a glance from the moment he came in. Vanessa could only leave the room in disappointment.
After everyone left, William sat down in a chair beside Henry's bed.
He wasted no time and asked, "What happened last night that sent your blood pressure skyrocketing?"
Henry was instantly agitated." Don't you dare play dumb! Do you really believe that I wouldn't know what happened after blaming the car chase on the Davis family? Tell me the truth. Has Emelie escaped?"
William said, "Yes."
Henry clenched his fist and hit his thigh that was covered by a blanket.

He said with regret, "When I went to the company to look for you that day, I told you that you should find out the ledger's whereabouts from Emelie since she was already with you. But you didn't listen to me! Now, she's gone, and the damned ledger is missing again!" The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest chapter there!
The numbers on the blood pressure monitor strapped to Henry's arm kept rising.
William poured a glass of water and handed it to him. "Calm down, Dad. Is it worth jeopardizing your health over this matter?"

Henry gasped for ax as he shook his
head. "We went from being in the offense to being forced inte om defense. If she exposes the ledger to the public, and if she's planning to clear Xander's name, then Cloudex Corporation will be in serious
trouble!" The content is on

William said calmly, "Emelie doesn't have the ledger, and she'll definitely return."

Henry didn't believe it. "How can you
be so certain that she doesn't have
it? What if she's lying to you? If she ve truly stood by your side, she wouldn't have left with that Davis fellow!
Return? The next time she comes back, she'll be taking revenge on us!"

Images of what happened in the outskirts flashed through William's mind, and his
eyelashes trembled.
The more Henry thought about it, the more convinced that he was right and the
more fearful he became.
Henry said, "She won't be able to cause a commotion alone. The problem is the
Davis family is supporting her. Mr. Davis was good friends with Xander back then. He just might help her, and then w-we... cough, cough!"
