Chapter 436 To See Your True Colors Capebatt City was always dry and desolate during the winter. With no sun today, everything was shrouded in a surreal haze Emelie looked off into the distance, where rows of tombstones stood, feeling an acute sense of loneliness.
"If you say so. I've made myself clear, and I assyou understand, Mrs. Middleton," Emelie said, her cold voice hanging in the air.
Vanessa slightly turrowed her brows. "I feel like you have smisunderstanding about me. Did Will say something to you?" Emelie didn't bother to look at Vanessa and remained staring ahead. It seemed like she was observing something, or perhaps she was just lost in thought Emelie couldn't shake off the numbness even after three days since Ronan's death Vanessa added with sorrow in her voice, “Everyone says being a stepmother is hard. I've tried my best to be good to Will, but he still can't accept me. Now, even you're treatingthis way, Emelle. I feel like such a failure." Emelie didn't respond.

"I've also heard something happened and Will sent Olivia to Sentiland to take care of his mom..Oh!" Vanessa abruptly covered her mouth, realizing she had said something she shouldn thave She looked at Emelie, hesitating to speak Emelie smiled indifferently. "Mrs. Middleton, are you suggesting that Olivia is with William's mom? And that William didn't completely cut ties with Oliva?" Vanessa said, "I didn't mean it that way.." Emelie replied, "I've known about that for awhile William explained it to me." Vanessa paused, then smiled with relief.
She held Emelle's hand and said, "That's good to hear. I was worried that you and Will might fight again. He's improved and knows to explain himself now. Since you're married, you can't be breaking up over little things anymore. Both of you need to be understanding toward each other." Emelie turned and looked at Vanessa.
Vanessa was exceptional at putting on an act. She was even better than a seasoned professional Every move of hers was well-curated.
Vanessacontinued, "Willis quite something. When he was with Olivia, he stopped you from getting a new job. And your mother's heart condition wasn't. Everything was coming at both of you "you two had such big fights, and I thought it was hopeless. But he still managed to win you back. We're getting old, and all we want is for you two to be happy" Emelie caught the undertone in Vanessa's words, aware that they were anything but genuine.
"Thank you, Mrs. Middleton, for tellingall this. But do you really wish us well, or are you hoping that Will and I will fight" Emelle said.
"Of course, I wish both of you the best. You have no idea how happy I was when I heard you got married," Vanessa said.
Vanessa smiled gently. "Capebatt City had a custom saying that one can't celebrate within a hundred days of a parent's passing. So, your wedding with Will will have to wait until after that. At least you'll have more tto plan.

Vanessa insisted on pressing into Emelie's sore spots, and Emelie wasn't in the mood to watch her theatrics. If that was the case, she might as well lay everything out.
Emelie finally let out all her emotions that she had been bottling up. "Mrs. Middleton, you're quite the actress. It's only now that I figuredout your true nature," Vanessa maintained her composure and frowned with confusion "Emele, what do you mean?"
"I mean exactly what I said. You've always supportedand William, but you never truly wantedus m together right? You knew William was always against, and would oppose anything his father wanted him to do. "The more his father pushes for our marriage, the more resistant he'll become. You're usingto drive a wedge between them. Am 1 wrong?" Emelie questioned.
Vanessa confidently claimed she treated melle like her own, wanting Emelie to believe that her care was genuine. But the truth was, Emelie had always been just a pawn, Emelie chuckled. For the past three years, she had been nothing but a tool for others.
"This way, William becomes the rebellious son in Mr. Middleton's eyes. You're trying to make MD M Middleton even more disappointed in more disappointed in his own son. Eventually, your daughter will have a chance when he gives up on William," Emelie continued. Vanessa's face slowly turned serious, X Vanessa had done her rambling. Now, it was Einlie's turn to expose her true colors.
