She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 641: Cooperation

Ted Williams only felt Hope Williams’s gaze turn cold, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, the corners of his eyes lifted into a slight smile.

He curled his lips and asked, "Hope, I’m curious, regarding the Williams Clan, were you never even the slightest bit tempted initially?"

With an industry as large as the Williams’, he couldn’t believe anyone would remain unmoved.

Hope stared at Ted, her voice firm, "Never!"

Looking at Hope’s resolute expression, Ted chuckled, "Never? Ha, well, since things have reached this point, you should blame Jade Bell. It was her who wholeheartedly wanted to give the group to you. Otherwise, how would we have ended up here?"

Hope raised an eyebrow and stared at him, "Really? Isn’t it you who pushed things to this point?"

"I don’t deny that my grandmother played a role, but from start to finish, wasn’t it you who distrusted me, incited Luna Williams to clash with me, hoping we’d kill each other off so you could benefit? Your greed and suspicion caused all this."

Ted chuckled softly, "Don’t falsely accuse me of something without evidence."

"Whether it’s a false accusation or not, it will soon be revealed. Ted Williams, just wait, your retribution is coming soon!"

With that, Hope turned and got into the car.

Watching Hope’s car slowly drive away, Ted curled his lips, "Retribution? Daring to conclude without even seeing my trump card, Hope, you’ve lost for sure."

Only after Hope’s car was completely out of sight did Ted leisurely walk back to his own car with his hands in his pockets.

Luna Williams sat in the back seat, nervously curling up as she watched Ted return.

Ted gave her a cold glance.

She truly made him see her in a new light.

He was quite surprised when he found out that Jade Bell’s shares were in Luna’s hands.

Unexpectedly, while he had been battling Hope for so long, this woman had quietly secured the largest portion of shares and comfortably hidden away until the shareholders’ meeting.

Should he praise her for being smart, or for being clever?

"Drive," he ordered. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

The driver started the car.

Ted took a deep breath, leaned back with his eyes closed against the seat.

Luna was tense, her whole body cold, uncertain of Ted’s intentions.

"What are you afraid of?" Ted asked coldly without opening his eyes.

Luna’s lips trembled. How could she not be scared, stuck in a car with a madman?

"I’m asking you."

"No...not scared!"

Ted lifted his eyelids, turning to look at her, letting out a cold sneer, "Not scared? Then why are you shaking? Or is it your guilty conscience?"

"Luna Williams, of the three of us, I didn’t expect you’d be the smartest! Tell me, when did you get your hands on those shares?"

At the mention of the shares, Luna’s body bristled with fear as she clutched at her clothes tightly, "What...what shares?"

Ted lifted an eyebrow slightly, his voice as indifferent as before, "Luna, I don’t want to waste time with you."

"I...I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Don’t know?"

Luna nodded, "Mm-hmm."

Ted coldly curled his lips.

The next second, Luna’s collar was tugged, and a strong force yanked her, half of her body pulled out of the car.

"Ah..."

Instantly terrified, Luna shrieked, the cold wind rushing into her mouth as she frantically waved her hands.

"Ah...ah! Ted Williams, you’re crazy, let go of me, ah...help...let go of me..."

Ted squinted his eyes, his face expressionless but remarkable in harshness, "Now do you remember?"

"Ah...I remember, I remember, it was me, I took it, I took it when Grandmother was injured." Luna screamed, her voice shredded by the fierce wind, but Ted heard clearly enough.

"Pull me back in, pull me back in Ted, you’re a madman, don’t forget what Old Master Parker said, if you throw me down now, I still have the Carter Family, Noah Carter is my dad, he won’t let you get away with this, ah...pull me back in..."

"Do you think I’m afraid of them?" Ted sneered.

The driver continued to accelerate, and Luna kept trembling, her mind racing frantically.

When the car made a sharp turn, Luna’s body was thrown further out, entirely held only by Ted’s hand.

She had no doubt that if Ted let go, she’d go plummeting down.

Luna was scared to the point her face was as white as a sheet.

"Ted Williams, let’s cooperate, let’s cooperate!"

"Cooperate?" Ted seemed intrigued, "How so? Tell me."

"You help me become Chairman Williams, when I control Williams Clan, I’ll give you five percent of the shares, really, I’ll give you five percent of the shares. If you kill me now, you won’t get the shares, you have only ten percent of the shares, with that amount, it’s obviously impossible to become the group chairman on your own, you can’t oppose Hope alone, why not help me, together we’ll defeat Hope, and I’ll give you half of Williams Clan, ahhh..."

Luna didn’t know how she came up with those words. When she was pulled back into the car, she collapsed, breathless and pale.

She felt like she had just died once.

Ted narrowed his eyes as he looked at Luna.

Clearly, her words had moved him. His greatest enemy wasn’t Luna, it was Hope; Luna was no real threat.

Without Hope, Williams Clan falling into Luna’s hands would be like being under his control.

Besides, she was right, with only ten percent of the shares, the board’s old men wouldn’t trust him.

It was better to let Luna become his puppet.

Ted curled his lips and lifted his hand toward Luna.

Panic-stricken, Luna leaned back, clutching her head and screaming.

Ted faintly raised his eyebrows and patted Luna’s head, "Alright, I’ll help you."

Luna paused, remaining rigid, as a cold voice from above continued, "Rest assured, Hope won’t live to attend the shareholders’ meeting; the group will certainly be yours."

Luna’s eyes trembled fiercely as she looked up at Ted in disbelief.

"You? Are you saying..." Luna gasped, covering her mouth, "Are you saying you want to kill Hope? Why? Aren’t you afraid of Waylon Lewis?"

She disliked Hope, but she never actually thought of killing her, nor dared to.

"Did you forget her words at the press conference a few days ago, saying she’d find evidence of Maverick Williams being framed and imprisoned?"

Luna’s eyes flickered, her voice trembling, "Things...have happened so long ago, what evidence can she find?"

"If she had as little brains as you, she certainly wouldn’t find any."

Luna understood the sarcasm in Ted’s words.

She bit her lip, "If you harm her, Waylon Lewis won’t let you off."

Ted laughed twice, unconcerned, "Waylon Lewis, he doesn’t dare touch me."

"Doesn’t dare touch you? What are you talking about? He treasures Hope the most!"

Waylon cherishes Hope, and if anything happened to Hope, he’d think of them first.

Thinking of the two gunshots she took from Waylon in the Emperor Capital, Luna’s shoulder instantly throbbed with dull pain.

Ted’s move was undoubtedly challenging Waylon’s bottom line.

What on earth gave him the nerve?

"I naturally have my way of dealing with him, and as for you, from now on, you’ll listen to me. Together, we’ll fight Hope. I’ll help you take the chairman’s position, understand?"

A sense of unease filled Luna’s heart, but she dared not question further and could only nod obediently for now.
