NovelEnglishChapter 779 Your Gigolo 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 cso 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.

"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 thpark 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.
She frowned and stopped in her tracks to read the headlines. "Swanson Corporation's Technology Park Explodes for Unknown Reasons; 4 Dead, 17 Injured, and 6 Missing." Emelie was frozen in shock.
At that moment, someone rushed past her and accidentally bumped into her. Her phone fell to the ground with a loud crack Jodie quickly picked up the phone, but the screen was shattered. Emelie's expression mirrored the broken screen.
"Ma'am, what is it?" Jodie asked, puzzled by her reaction.
Emelie didn't answer. She took the phone and called Wesley.
While she waited for the call to connect, she recalled Wesley's promise to hold the responsible party accountable for what happened last night. The wine belonged to Bryan. Could the explosion at the Swanson Corporation's Technology Park be a form of retaliation? Her hands shook slightly. Wesley didn't answer her call.
When she tried to call again, the phone was unresponsive, likely because it was damaged.

Emelie instinctively bent over to get into the car. However, she suddenly lost her footing and nearly fell but was caught by a hand gripping her arm. She looked up, she saw William William frowned. "You look very pale. What's wrong?" Emelie was startled and pushed him away. Without asking how he came, she told Jodie, 'Book a flight back to Coastalburg.
"Back to Coastalburg? But we've just arrived," Jodie was confused by the sudden change in plans. Howeven Emelie needed to clarify with Wesley whether the explosion was indeed a retaliatory act against Bryan. If Wesley killed so casually, how was he any different from Beathan and the rest? William, seeing her distressed state, grabbed her arm. "Calm down."
"Calm down? How can I calm down? It's all your fault!" Emelie shouted as himeaway she pushed him away in frustration.
William was taken aback. "It's my fault?" Emelie spoke without thinking and retorted, "If it weren't for you angering him, would he have taken revenge on Bryan?" William was both exasperated and amused. He replied, 'So now I have to manage your fiancé's emotions too? What am I to you then? Your gigolo?"
