Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The Smart Woman
“`html
Hope Williams was in a daze, only able to tilt her head back and endure his domineering kiss.
Hope finally understood why Wyatt couldn’t take the elevator; it was because it hindered his own mischief.
This person would even abandon his own younger brother for his mischief.
It wasn’t until the elevator reached the parking garage, that Waylon Lewis slowly let her go.
Hope tightly grasped his clothes, shyly lowering her head. Her heart beat wildly, yet the man continued to hold her in his embrace.
...
“Do you know how long I’ve been holding back this kiss?”
“Hmm?”
“Every bit of you is so enticing. I’m truly afraid that if I let go of your hand, soone will take you away.”
One Benjamin Myers.
One Alexander Knox.
And tonight, another Andrew Morris!
One after another, how could others be so drawn to his woman?
But it doesn’t matter; this woman belongs to him, must be his, no one can take her away.
Waylon Lewis carried Hope Williams into the car and asked, “Did you know Mia Fuller was planning to fra you tonight?”
“I didn’t, but since she likes you, I stayed vigilant.”
“Hmm?”
Hope slowly explained, “When a woman adores a man and there is another woman by his side, that woman becos a thorn in her side. How could she miss any chance to stamp her out?
Having seen so many of these won’s jealous rivalries, you co to understand.”
Waylon Lewis curled up his lips, “You’re very smart.”
Hope smiled slightly, “Thank you for the complint.”
“Shall we head back to the Lewis Family estate?”
Hope shook her head, “No, back to my own ho.”
“The Lewis estate is your ho too, Luke and Willow are still with Grandpa.” Waylon Lewis looked at Hope seriously.
“I feel like Grandpa has been revolving around Luke and Willow lately.” Hope said, slightly helpless yet amused.
“Yeah, Old Master Lewis adores the two kids, wanting to have them with him every day.”
The elder naturally loves kids, and having great-grandchildren suddenly makes him even more unwilling to part with them.
Recently, because of Hope and Luke and Willow, Old Master Lewis has been looking at him more favorably.
“Oh my, co on.” Wyatt Lewis jogged over, out of breath, opened the car door himself, and unceremoniously sat in the back seat, protesting.
“Brother, you’re really heartless! With in the elevator, it wouldn’t be overloaded, yet you just left behind. Can we still play nicely together?”
Waylon Lewis glanced at him coldly through the rearview mirror, “Drive yourself back.”
Wyatt Lewis wore a pained expression, “Brother, I ca with your car. It’s only kind to help others to the end, how about you take back, right, sister-in-law?”
Hope was truly amused by the two brothers. In wealthy families, brothers usually fight bitterly over inheritance, yet these two don’t compete for anything and have an exceptionally good relationship.
A brother is just there to be beaten, and the one beaten is not afraid and next ti will still approach with a smile.
Hope smiled helplessly, a bit sympathetic to Wyatt Lewis who could be abandoned by his brother at any mont, “Let’s go back together, anyway, it’s on the way.”
Upon hearing sister-in-law speak up, Wyatt Lewis was instantly emboldened, brimming with energy, “Brother, did you hear that? Sister-in-law is still good to .”
So moved.
Waylon Lewis started the car with a solemn face, driving back to the Lewis Family’s old estate.
Once ho, Hope saw Luke playing chess with Old Master Lewis, Willow being held by Alitzel Williams watching TV, Christopher Lewis sitting nearby reading the newspaper, occasionally letting out hearty laughter, a scene of harmony.
After all, all are related, and Luke and Willow are not opposed.
Hope’s face blood a gentle smile seeing this scene.
“Mommy.” Luke and Willow imdiately rushed into Hope’s embrace.
“You’re back; did the banquet go smoothly?” Old Master Lewis asked.
Hope nodded, omitting the small incident, “Smoothly.”
Hope took Luke and Willow’s little hands, “Luke and Willow, we’re going ho.”
“Mommy, can we wait until Luke finishes this chess ga with Great-Grandpa first?”
“Of course you can, go ahead.”
Luke sat back in his chair, talking to the old master, “Great-Grandpa, let’s continue.”
The old master joyfully replied, “Alright.”
These two kids are truly clever, especially Luke. After only explaining chess once, he grasped the basics, and after a few gas, could compete with him.
“Little Hope, don’t go tonight, stay at the Lewis Family estate, it’s too late, it’s unsafe to go back.” Alitzel Williams said.
“Yes, Little Hope, stay at the Lewis Family estate; going back is too troubleso.” The old master chid in, “Stay at Grandpa’s place, Grandpa is happy seeing you.”
“Yes indeed, sister-in-law, Grandpa doesn’t get happy seeing my brother and .” Wyatt Lewis reclined on the sofa.
The old master huffed, “You two should go where it’s cool.”
“Look, just look at the preferential treatnt.”
In the end, Hope stayed at the Lewis Family estate overnight.
Waylon Lewis returned to the study, Hope couldn’t sleep, so she sat beside him reading.
Waylon Lewis sat seriously and busily in front of the computer.
At this mont, Thomas Hughes knocked and entered.
“Boss, the matter has been investigated.” Thomas glanced at Hope on the sofa.
Hope was soone who noticed atmospheres; they were about to discuss serious matters, so she got up intending to leave.
Waylon’s gaze shifted from the computer, speaking to Hope, “You don’t need to leave.” Then he glanced at Thomas, “Speak.”
“The person who burned the Ward Family’s villa has been found, belonging to a mysterious organization led by Liam Cloud, the one who sent people to kill the third young master eight years ago.”
As soon as Thomas’s words fell, the book Hope held dropped to the ground with a “thud.”
Hope was stunned, her gaze straight into the man’s deep dark eyes.
Waylon raised his hand, signaling Thomas to pause. He got up, ca to Hope’s side, leaned down, and gently rubbed her hair, “Tired?”
Hope stiffly nodded, “Yeah, I’m tired, I’ll go to bed first, don’t stay up too late.”
Waylon kissed her on the forehead, “Alright, go ahead.”
Hope picked up her book and left, her steps quickening, Waylon didn’t miss the fleeting panic in her eyes.
He furrowed his brows.
Returning to her room, Hope felt her mind in chaos. She knew the Lewis Family originally had three sons, and the third young master died young in a turmoil.
But what does this have to do with Liam Cloud?
He had soone set the Ward Family villa on fire, eight years ago sent soone to kill the third young master of the Lewis Family!
What on earth is going on!
Hope’s mind was full of chaos.
Waylon Lewis returned to his chair, Thomas continued, “Boss, how should we handle it?”
The key is this person is powerful, stationed in Y Country. Their influence in Y Country is limited, and if a full-scale conflict arises, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
Waylon’s long fingers rhythmically tapped the table, deep in thought.
“Teach him a lesson.”
Having spent years at Waylon’s side, Thomas naturally understood what this lesson ant, “Yes, also about Miss Williams’s drowning incident, it was Joy Ward who dragged Miss Williams into the water.”
Waylon’s eyes went cold, “Where is she now?”
“She was rescued by Weston Morris. Should we retrieve her?”
Waylon raised his hand, “No need, in the hands of a lunatic, how well can she be? Don’t bother with her.”
“From today on, you keep people protecting Hope around the clock. Rember, keep a distance, don’t let her notice, she doesn’t like it.”
Thomas imdiately responded, “Yes.”
…
Joy Ward awoke to see the man before her. Though handso, the deep knife scar on his left brow, coupled with his murderous gaze, added a nacing aura.
Joy was frightened, trembling, “Who are you?”
