NovelEnglishChapter 789 Big Fight Emelie understood the underlying implication in his words.
"Yes, it was me. I swapped the accident report to clear Samuel's name," she calmly admitted.
A shadow veiled over Wesley's face.
She continued "I consulted with a lawyer. He'll likely get a three-year suspended sentence with five years of probation. He won't go to prison, but he'll have to compensate the victims and their families.

"You think that's enough to avenge what the Swanson family did to the Pierces and the Hovens? The Swansons destroyed lives." Wesley spoke each word deliberately.
Emelie explained, 'Bryan once dida favor. Mr. Samuel has always had a good relationship with us as well. Besides, the Swansons weren't the masterminds behind what happened to my family.
"Bryan's father was the one who took advantage of the situation, not Bryan. Seeing their fortune crumble should be enough. There's no need to take Bryan's life." Emelie let out a heavy sigh.
Wesley's voice turned cold. 'You always let your emotions get the better of you. Anyone who once meant something to you, you end up sparing them. No matter what the cost. It was the swith Bryan and the swith William. I'm really not liking this, Eme.' Emelie looked at him steadily. "What's done is done. What are you going to do if you're not happy with it?" "From today onwards, you're suspended from all your duties. Just go back to Mercianna. I've told you before, your focus now is preparing for the wedding," Wesley said.
Then, he turned and walked to the window, his profile sharp and unyielding.
It took Emelie a few seconds to fully grasp his words.
She shot up from her chair. 'You're suspendingfrom all of my duties? Are you trying to cut my work off completely? Wesley, don't forget, I have shares in the Filo Group. I'm a board member, and board members have a say in executive decisions. I don't agree with your plan." Emelie refused Wesley's command.
Wesley gave a cold smile. "Those shares? I gave them to you. Do you really think it's difficult forto take them back?" Emelie held her breath. 'Wesley, why have you becthis way?" "You made me," Wesley said She was at a loss for words.
Wesley walked up to her and gripped her chin with force. "Eme, haven't I been good enough to you? When you were at your lowest, I was the one who saved you. I pulled you out of the dark.
He added, "I've never asked for anything in return, except for you to marry me. That's what you promised13 years ago. And yet, you keep getting entangled with William. Where does that leave me?" Emelie's eyelashes fluttered.

Emelie's throat tightened as disappointment welled up in her eyes. After a few seconds, she let out a chuckle. She said, "If you're still upset about that night, maybe we should cancel the wedding?" "Cancel the wedding so you can run off with William? That's not happening, Eme. Even if you don't love me, I won't let you go to him," he said.
Emelie shut her eyes, no longer holding back. "If you're so convinced that we had an affair, then fine. Yes. We were together that night. And I'll tell you what we weren't even that out of it from the drugs. We knew exactly what we were doing and couldn't stop ourselves." Wesley's expression grew even darker with each word, and his grip on her chin tightened.
Emelie was in pain but she kept going, deliberately provoking him.
She said, "It wasn't just that night. We were all over each other in Eprand too. Didn't Jodie tell you? I caught a fever, and he took care ofall night. Then one thing led to another and...
"Did you think we spent those seven days in Eprand doing nothing? We stayed in the shotel, in the sΕΥ room, for seven days straight. We' Wesley's anger finally boiled over. He released her chin and raised his hand to her face.
"Enough!" he shouted.
