Winning Her Heart Back

Preferences

Emelie silently walked away from William’s view. Troy happened to come out to the doorway, so Emelle swiftly left with him. Her back was exposed in the dress, showing off her sensual figure and waist.

Daphne had clearly noticed the way William looked at Emelle. She then looked down at herself.

Daphne was pretty skinny but not curvy in any way. William had gifted her an off– shoulder chiffon dress studded with diamonds and faux flowers, which made her look quite ethereal and youthful.

Daphne had thought it was beautiful, but the moment she compared herself to Emelie, she found herself dull“. Daphne couldn’t help but grimace when she thought ab

Daphne murmured, “Ms. Hoven said she and Mr. Spencer were just friends the other day, but their outfits

were matching just now, right?”

“I think so,” William responded flatly.

Daphne continued, “She’s so pretty.”

William knew what Daphne was thinking and nonchalantly said, “Too tacky. Women should dress more

modestly.”

Daphne grinned sweetly at him. She knew William had liked her in the first place because of how modest

she was.

While William labeled Emelie tacky, everyone else was astounded by how beautiful and striking she was. Emelie instantly commanded everyone’s attent

Troy felt all the more proud as the men gazed at him in sheer jealousy. He said to Emelie, “You’re truly the

most beautiful woman I’ve ever met, Emelie!”

Emelie–smiled. “Oh, stop it, Mr. Spencer.”

“I’m being serious. Do you see how everyone has been looking at you since you walked into the room?”

Troy believed Emelie lacked confidence because she had been dumped by William, prompting him to launch into a tirade. “Don’t think you’re any less beautiful just because Will dumped you for Daphne

“Well, Will’s preferences have never really changed. He’s always been drawn to the type of woman who’s fragile and clueless, constantly relying on him. That’s pretty lame, right?”

Emelle recalled the years spent with William. He’d often bring her to parties and events, both private and public.

She couldn’t remember when he slowly stopped bringing her out, though. At some point, William would only bring her along if it was necessary. Howeve

So, did William dump Emelie all because she was no longer “fragile” and wasn’t dependent on him anymore?

Emelie smiled, finding the whole thing quite hilarious

She wasn’t lacking in confidence. She simply wasn’t as mindful of her looks as Troy assumed, so she didn’t react much to everyone else’s astonishme

Emelie silently changed the topic. “Why don’t I join you in meeting your guests?”

“Yes, please do. You’re far more experienced in these sorts of things, unlike me. I have lots to learn from

you tonight.

Of course, Emelie knew how to socialize like this. She offered Troy tips as to what to say and how to behave She even introduced a lot of people she knew from working at Cloudex Corporation for three

Troy’s parents were pleased by this as they observed their son from afar.

The quests were curious as to why Emelie was accompanying Troy, however.

“Have you switched to working at Spencer Group, Ms. Hoven?”

Emelie responded courteously, “No, Mr. Spencer and I are just friends. I’m here to celebrate his birthday

with him, that’s all.”

“Ah, so that’s how it is.”

Troy was all the more fond of Emelie now. He made sure she was well–fed and even drank toast in her stead for fear she would grow ill from drinking.

This was the first time in ages someone had done that for Emelie. She thanked him sincerely. “Thank you,

Mr. Spencer.

Halfway through the party, Emelie needed to go to the restroom. Troy eagerly showed her the way and even said he’d wait for her to come out before returning to the main hall.

But Troy was nowhere to be found by the time Emelie walked

d out.

Emelie felt that Troy wasn’t the kind of man who’d leave her behind right after promising he’d wait for her, so she looked around in search of him as she

All of sudden, someone grabbed Emelie’s arm.

Before she could react, they had dragged her into a nea
