Winning Her Heart Back

Greta Lowe

The next day, Emelle went to work as usual.

Holding a thermos, she went to the pantry to get warm water.

Since she hadn't officially started work yet, she leaned against the counter, took out her phone, and made

a call

Ever since William mentioned her mother that day, Emelle had been feeling uneasy.

She spent two days looking for her old neighbor’s phone number and finally dialed it.

The call connected, “Hello, who is this?”

"Hi, Ms. Barron, it's Emelie.

“Oh, Emelie. How did you get my number?”

Emelie replied softly. “I had it before.”

Natalie Barron asked, “What's the matter?”

“Are you still neighbors with my parents? How have they been lately?”

Natalie said, “I moved away a long time ago. I don't live there anymore. I'm living with my daughter-in-law now. “I don’t have much contact with your parents, but they seemed fine the last time I saw them. I just don't know how they’re doing now." Emelie felt disappointed. "I see.”

“Emelie, if you want to know how they're doing, why don’t you just call them directly? I heard they said your went to work outside the city and haven't come back yet.”

Emelie simply said, “I did call, but it seems they've changed their phone number, so I couldn't get through Natalie muttered, “Why didn’t they tell their daughter that they changed their number...

“Anyway, do you want me to give you their current number so you can call them yourself?

Emelie was very grateful. “Yes, thank you.

After jotting down the number, Emelie dialed it immediately.

The call went through with a couple of rings, and soon, she heard a familiar female voice. “Hello?

She instinctively hung up the phone

That was her mother, Greta Lowe’s voice.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Pressing her lips together, Emelie put away her phone. She turned around, took out a tea bag from the cabinet, and dropped it into the thermos. Greta Lowe

With a tap, she started the water dispenser.

As the warm water hit the tea bag, it released a faint fragrance. Her thoughts swirled with it as well. Three years ago, she dated William.

He gave her three million dollars to repay her family’s debts and sent a driver to take her back to her

home.

When her parents saw her, they didn't ask-where she had been the night before or what had happened Instead, they blamed her for running away. ~ 7

They said that the creditors had come to the house last night, causing a scene and smashing the furniture.

They scolded her for being reckless and disobedient, not considering the family’s situation, and not realizing how difficult their lives were.

They even said they had been driven to the point of wanting to jump off a building.

Emelie numbly listened to their accusations and placed a card on the table

“There are three million dollars in there. Use it to pay off the debts.”

Her father, Ronan Hoven, was stunned. He immediately picked up the card and looked at her in disbelief." Where did you get so much money?” “Don't worry about that. Just use it to pay off the debts. You don’t have to worry about the creditors anymore.”

Greta grabbed her hand and asked in grief, "Did you... did you do something bad? Huh? Tell me, Emelie! What did you do?”

Emelie suddenly felt like laughing. and she did laugh.

‘Something*bad? What do you mean by bad? ' You took me as collateral- for thedebts. Do you really think that putting me in the hands of those people won't lead to anythittg bad?”

Greta cried out. “Emelie... we really have no way out. If we still had a way, we would never let you-”

“I know you're at your wits’ end, but I’m not your only choice.

‘I have two sisters. Of course, they shouldn't suffer either. I just don’t understand why you chose me.

No one was at fault. No one should have suffered, but she was the one who was abandoned and was also the one her parents cared about the least. Greta shook her head in tears. “No, it's not like that

Emelie didn’t want to say anything anymore. “Take the money, I’m leaving. I won't contact you anymore.”

With that, she left in the car. In the rearview mirror, she saw Greta chasing after her. Yet she didn't stop the car, nor did she look back.

For the next month, she felt deeply distressed. A blood relationship of over 20 years couldn't be broken

just like that. In the end, she compromised and called home.

Unexpectedly, Greta was cold and said, “You have nothing to d
