NovelAppChapter 642 Her Appearance The sound of the gunshot broke everyone's train of thoughts. They were all startled, and the cowardly ones even squatted down with their heads covered.
Everyone looked towards the entrance. "What was that?" It was the arrival of reinforcements, with the police firing a shot into the air to deter the crowd. But more importantly, there were others who had arrived as well.
It was a bright sunny day outside. The sunlight was so dazzling that it was almost blinding.
Against bright sunlight, around eight people walked up the stage. The group was led by a tall, slender woman dressed in light colors, with the cold breeze lifting the hem of her coat. She carried herself with a cold air of aloofness, giving people the impression that she hailed from a snowy country.

Those who knew her were stunned. "Emelie?" They could hardly believe it.
Eliana murmured, "Eme..." Mona was the first to react, breaking the stunned silence. She ran over and hugged her tightly. "Eme!" It was indeed Emelie.
Mona looked at Emelie with tears streaming down her face. "Eme! It really is you. You're still in one piece! You're fine" Emelie gently patted her hand, giving her a reassuring smile, and whispered, "We'll talk later." Mona nodded repeatedly, covering her mouth to hold back her sobs.
Emelie's gaze swept over the familiar faces in the funeral hall, with it finally resting on William. They finally met again after two years and seven months.
William's expression had barely changed even when Vanessa had accused him. It didn't waver when he was berated by Mona and Eliana or questioned by the media. However, his defenses ccrashing down when he locked eyes with Emelie.
He murmured, "You're here." Instead of saying "You're alive" or "You're back", he said "You're here." Just when one storm was subsiding, another one arose, with twists more tic than a movie.
Netizens searched for Emelie's photos to match them to the identical woman who appeared out of nowhere and began to discuss it.
"Is she really Emelie?"one comment wrote.
"It has to be. Unless Emelie has a twin sister, that's definitely her!" another concurred.

The media turned their cameras towards Emelie. "Ms. Hoven? What exactly is going on? Why did they say you were dead? What's your relationship with Mr. Middleton? "Ms. Hoven, what happened three years ago? Why was your wedding suddenly canceled? Where have you been all these years? Ms. Hoven? Ms. Hoven-" Emelie stood there calmly. Although she was silent, she seemed a little amused.
Just one look was clear enough to everyone that she had changed. She was no longer the cautious, quiet, e apd reserved secretary she had been. Currently, she seemed more like a high-ranking person with power over life and death.
Charles and the others felt relieved when they saw Emelie appear, thinking that the negative news about news William killing his wife would be automatically dispelled. However, they suddenly cto their senses and realized that they were no longer on the sside.
She wouldn't help them smooth things over. If she spoke out about what William did to her in the m on tin theo m wilderness years ago, wouldn't they all be in even more trouble? It would be worse if she took the opportunity to reveal what had happened to the Pierce family and the Xander Group. No matter how carefully planned something could be, it could always still be thrown off by unexpected events.
No wonder she looked at them with that playful gaze. It was as if she was laughing at them for feeling relieved earlier.
