She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 261 - Serious Situation, Hope Williams is Driven Out of the Lewis Family
Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Serious Situation, Hope Williams is Driven Out of the Lewis Family
ly “Yesterday, Vivia had a quarrel with you at the hospital, and because of that, you harbored a grudge and complained to Waylon. Waylon was initially very satisfied with Vivia’s proposal, yet there you were, constantly bad-mouthing it, inciting Waylon not to cooperate with our Fuller Clan.
You even said that our Fuller Clan cannot compare to the Lewis Clan, and that cooperating with us is a favor to us. That’s what you said at the time, wasn’t it?”
Hope Williams’s sharp eyes narrowed, feeling incredulous about the whole matter even as she listened.
What cooperation?
What bad-mouthing?
She hadn’t even touched the edges of this cooperation, yet out of the blue, she was accused of such a huge wrongdoing.
Hope Williams tugged at the corner of her mouth, pondered for a moment, and she might have understood, “All this was told to you by Vivia Fuller, right?”
“Indeed, this cooperation is extremely important for both our Fuller Clan and the Lewis Clan. You, woman, understand nothing and just…”
Hope Williams cut him off directly, “I understand nothing, but could it be that Waylon Lewis understands nothing? Let’s not talk about whether I really incited Waylon. Just based on Waylon himself, doesn’t he have a brain? Can’t he make his own judgments?
If he truly was committed to your cooperation, would he really cancel it because of a few provocative words from me?
Do you believe this explanation yourselves? In your eyes, does the CEO of his company lack the ability to discern right from wrong?”
Hope Williams laughed, her laughter filled with extreme sarcasm.
She mocked their pig-like brains, which Vivia Fuller played like a fiddle.
Christopher Lewis’s eyes shifted slightly as he watched Hope Williams’s mocking face turn a few shades darker, but inside, he acknowledged her point.
How could his son be so mindless, to listen to a woman on everything, putting the company second?
He turned to Old Master Fuller and questioned, “Old Master Fuller, could there be some misunderstanding in this matter?”
“Misunderstanding? Are you implying that Vivia from our family is lying? Vivia is someone you watched growing up; don’t you know her character?”
After hearing this, Christopher Lewis was displeased. His granddaughter never lied, so what Hope Williams had suggested—that his son was brainless—was true?
“Old Master Fuller, are you actually suggesting that our Waylon is brainless?”
Old Master Fuller narrowed his sharp eyes forcefully, “When did I ever say that?”
“Just now, that’s what you implied. I know Waylon, and he wouldn’t do anything to harm the company’s interests.” Christopher Lewis, of course, would not allow anyone to speak ill of his most favored son.
Old Master Fuller slammed the documents on the desk hard, “You’ve seen the cooperation proposal yourself. Is there anything wrong with it? Then tell me, why won’t Waylon cooperate with our Fuller Clan? Could it be that you have a better partner than our Fuller Family?”
Old Master Fuller was extremely angry about this issue and wouldn’t give in the slightest.
He simply couldn’t believe that the Lewis Family could find a better partner than his Fuller Family—Old Master Fuller was incredibly confident in this.
“Since this matter came from Miss Fuller, why don’t you ask your precious granddaughter exactly what’s going on?” Hope Williams glanced at Old Master Fuller’s face.
“Vivia has already told me all about it, what else is there to ask?”
“Then let her confront me face-to-face.” Hope Williams remained calm.
“Unrepentant.” Old Master Fuller called Vivia Fuller, who arrived quickly.
Upon entering and sensing the atmosphere in the room, Vivia Fuller put on an innocent look, blinked her eyes quickly, and hurried to Old Master Fuller’s side, “Grandfather, what’s going on?”
“Tell us the truth about what happened when you went to the Lewis Clan to discuss the cooperation, just tell it as it was, don’t worry, I’ll back you up.” Old Master Fuller’s face looked a little better seeing Vivia Fuller.
Vivia Fuller bit her lip, turned her head and looked helplessly at Hope Williams before speaking.
“Yesterday, I went to Brother Waylon to sign the contract. Although everything was previously agreed upon, Brother Waylon refused in the end. He was actually very satisfied with my proposal, but perhaps because Miss Williams was still upset about our argument at the hospital that morning, she bad-mouthed throughout and wouldn’t let Brother Waylon sign the contract. That’s what happened.”
Vivia Fuller sighed helplessly as she looked at Hope Williams.
“Miss Williams, if you were really angry, you could have just taken it out on me. What you shouldn’t have done is to involve both companies in your revenge. Don’t you agree?”
“Revenge on you?” Hope Williams laughed, “You think too highly of yourself, actually believing you’re more important than two companies.”
Vivia Fuller bit her teeth and shook her head, “Miss Williams, I know I can’t beat you in an argument since you’re too sharp-witted. I only speak the truth, and if anything caused you discomfort, I apologize.”
“The matter is simple, to know who’s lying, just call Waylon and ask.” Alitzel Williams glared at Vivia Fuller.
“Vivia, I think it’s better for you to tell the truth. I don’t believe that Hope Williams would do anything to harm the interests of the company just to get back at you. You’re not that important in her eyes.”
Vivia Fuller turned pale, startled by Alitzel Williams’s suggestion.
With a look of grievance, she gazed at Alitzel Williams, “Auntie, why don’t you believe me? What I said is all true.”
“Compared to you, I totally trust Hope Williams.” Alitzel Williams was blunt.
Vivia Fuller bit her lower lip firmly, staring intently at Alitzel Williams. She felt extremely nervous deep down, but there was no way she could admit now that she was lying.
“Auntie, I’m really telling the truth…”
Alitzel Williams pulled out her phone and immediately dialed Waylon Lewis’s number.
Vivia Fuller’s heart clenched tightly, watching Alitzel Williams with high anxiety.
Her hands were clenched to death, every minute and every second was torture.
After about thirty seconds, Alitzel Williams tried another call, still no answer.
Alitzel Williams frowned.
Vivia Fuller, however, heaved a huge sigh of relief and asked innocently, “Auntie, Brother Waylon didn’t pick up?”
“He might be busy.”
“Then you can call him again later,” Vivia Fuller said, feigning composure.
Old Master Fuller then spoke up, “I think there’s no need to ask. Vivia’s explanation has already been very clear.
I think Waylon has lost his mind too, to listen to this woman and lose his rationality. Christopher, such a woman cannot stay by Waylon’s side. She will become a source of trouble.”
Christopher Lewis’s savvy eyes narrowed. That statement struck deep in his heart. The men of the Lewis family should not be manipulated by any woman.
“Yes, indeed, younger brother, your daughter-in-law is quite powerful. That day, she was able not only to drive our grandfather out of the house but also went after Isaiah afterwards. You saw for yourself what a state Isaiah was in.”
Isaiah Lewis sat on the side, adding fuel to the fire.
Christopher knew about Isaiah getting beaten up later and had investigated. It wasn’t entirely Hope Williams’s fault, so he couldn’t wrongly accuse her of that.
But one thing was undeniable, Waylon Lewis could lose his rationality because of her minor matters, even disregarding his image to fight for her in public.
She had become Waylon Lewis’s Achilles’ heel, a weakness others could exploit to attack him.
He would not allow the heir of the Lewis family to have such a weakness.
This woman could no longer stay in the Lewis household.
Christopher Lewis thoughtfully picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and lifted his eyes that were filled with a cold glint, staring at Hope Williams, “As of today, you are to move out of the Lewis household.”
There was silence in the air for two seconds.
“What did you say? Christopher Lewis, have you gone mad? You want to drive Little Hope away?” Alitzel Williams walked over, her face filled with disbelief as she looked at Christopher Lewis.
“Your son has already lost his senses because of this woman. Do you still want to keep her around as a calamity?” Christopher Lewis was so angry his voice trembled.
“You! You are beyond help. I think you just can’t let go of secular prejudices. That’s why you keep on finding faults with Little Hope.” Alitzel Williams was furious.
Christopher Lewis clenched his teeth, and due to the presence of outsiders, he did not continue to argue with Alitzel Williams. Instead, he insisted in an uncompromising tone, “She must leave Waylon.”
Hope Williams stood there calmly, her gaze as tranquil as when she first came in.
She gave a slight smile.
Her voice was very light, but it was laced with mockery, drawing the attention of everyone in the room to her.
“Alright, I can leave.”
Hope Williams spoke softly.
“Little Hope, don’t be impulsive,” Alitzel Williams was really anxious.
Hope Williams took hold of Alitzel Williams’s hand and patted it comfortingly, pursing her lips and shaking her head.
Alitzel Williams saw a firm pride in her clear eyes.
Hope Williams wasn’t the type to cling desperately; if people were driving her away, she certainly wouldn’t insist on staying.
“I can go.” Hope Williams repeated, her eyes coldly sweeping over the people in front of her, “But I will not leave Waylon Lewis. He and I are legally married, and unless he gives up, I will never let go of him.”
“You must get a divorce from Waylon.”
