Chapter 240: Chapter 240: The Lucky Star of the Lewis Family Chapter 240: Chapter 240: The Lucky Star of the Lewis Family Vivia Fuller desperately tried to exonerate herself.
“You, you clearly…” Ellie Field’s eyes widened as she glared at Vivia Fuller.
Vivia Fuller cut off Ellie Field mid-sentence and took over the conversation, “Miss Field, I genuinely considered you a friend, but I never expected you to do such a thing. It turns out you’ve been deceiving all along. You’re simply too much.”
Vivia Fuller’s loud accusations left the already confused Ellie Field at a loss.
“Miss Field, admit your guilt. The error you’ve committed is unforgivable.”
“You bitch, do you have no hand in these matters?”
Vivia Fuller gasped in shock, clutching her chest and stepping back two steps as if she never anticipated Ellie Field would say such things, looking at her as if deeply wounded, “What have I done? Miss Field, what have I done? Did I tell you to plagiarize? Did I tell you to steal soone else’s identity? Did I tell you to commit fraud? Or did I tell you to murder? What wrong have I done? My only mistake was trusting you, and now you even try to push everything onto . I misjudged you.”
Having said that, Vivia Fuller grabbed her bag and left in a feigned uncontrollable rage.
Only Ellie Field was left alone on the ground, crying out and cursing exhaustively, in utter despair.
Hope Williams’s eyebrows raised slightly. She had to admit, Vivia Fuller was very skilled at using others to do her dirty work. First it was Mia Fuller, and now Ellie Field, and she always managed to shift the bla and extricate herself cleanly.
But it didn’t matter, her turn was coming soon.
Hope Williams looked down at the photos scattered on the ground and exhaled turbidly.
Finally, amidst her screaming, Ellie Field was taken away by the police.
Alitzel Williams blinked, suddenly coming to her senses. What had she done before?
Hope Williams had emphasized ti and ti again that only she could perform the surgery, yet she had refused to believe her, repeatedly misunderstanding her.
She should have realized it when Hope Williams saved Old Master Lewis for the first ti.
Overwheld with regret, Alitzel Williams turned to look at Hope Williams.
“Little Hope,” Alitzel Williams took Hope Williams’s hand, “Mom, I’m sorry for misunderstanding you and speaking to you that way.”
Hope Williams’s fingers tightened slightly as she gently shook her head, “You were just concerned for Grandpa; it’s okay.”
Tears glittered in Alitzel Williams’s eyes as she looked at Hope Williams with increasing satisfaction, truly feeling that Waylon Lewis had good taste to have married such a wonderful wife.
Hope Williams was truly the Lucky Star of the Lewis Family.
“Mom, let introduce you to my ntor, Elder Gray,” Hope said, and then she looked at Elder Gray, “ntor, this is my mother-in-law, Mrs. Lewis.”
“Hello, Elder Gray. I’ve long admired your reputation. I never imagined you were Little Hope’s ntor. You’ve taught her dical skills very well. Thank you,” Alitzel Williams said to Elder Gray with a lift of her hand in a polite and respectful gesture.
Elder Gray glanced at Alitzel Williams with a distant expression, not intending to shake hands, simply stating, “You don’t need to thank . Little Hope’s dical talent is her own, the result of her innate giftedness and diligent practice. I rely gave her so guidance.”
Alitzel Williams’s attempt at familiarity was blocked. She looked at Hope Williams, feeling sowhat embarrassed.
Hope Williams noticed that Elder Gray was evidently distant and even hostile toward Alitzel Williams.
But according to what Hope knew of Elder Gray, he was usually a very calm person.
“Madam, Young Madam, Elder Gray, the Old Master wants to see you,” a ssenger from Old Master Lewis arrived.
“Alright, we’ll be right there,” Alitzel Williams replied.
It wasn’t surprising that the Old Master had heard about the commotion.
“Elder Gray, would you like to visit Old Master Lewis’s ward? He would surely want to thank you for the years of care you’ve given to Little Hope.”
“That was exactly my intention.”
Just then, Hope’s phone rang. A smile spread across her face as she spoke, “ntor, please go ahead with Mom. I’ll take this call and be right over.”
Alitzel Williams led Elder Gray to Old Master Lewis’s ward, while Hope Williams walked to the window to answer her phone.
A deep, pleasant voice ca from the phone, “How did things go?”
Hope Williams looked out the window and smiled gently, “Everything’s resolved.”
Hearing the woman’s joyful voice rise, Waylon Lewis’s lips curled into a smile, “That’s good.”
“How did you think to bring my master here?”
Hope Williams was quite surprised when she saw Elder Gray appear.
“He can directly prove your identity.”
“But I never ntioned him to you.”
“As a qualified husband, if I don’t even know my wife’s master, what am I good for?”
Hope flashed a smile, “My master is eting grandfather now, but I think he seems to have so hostility toward your mother.”
“He is worried about you.”
Hope believed Elder Gray had heard about what happened to her since her return to the country: her dearest pupil had been bullied ti and again. It would be surprising if he could show a good face to Alitzel Williams.
“Then you should be careful,” Hope Williams reminded with a lift of her lips.
“I should be careful, indeed. I wonder if begging for forgiveness in front of the old man would do any good,” Waylon Lewis sighed helplessly.
“My master won’t fall for that. Think carefully about how you’ll deal with it. I’m hanging up now.”
“I’m coming over.”
Hope paused for a mont, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
After ending the call, Hope made her way to Old Master Lewis’s hospital room. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Elder Gray’s deep voice.
“This pupil of mine is clever in all things, but emotionally, it has been the only blunder in her life.”
“This… Waylon did do wrong before, but now he has completely corrected himself.”
“Whether he has truly made ands, only ti will tell. Old Master Lewis, please don’t bla for ddling. Little Hope is my pupil, and like a father to her for a lifeti, I cannot stand to see her repeat past mistakes.”
“On that point, you can be at ease. If Waylon dares to let Little Hope down again, I will personally break his legs before I close my eyes…”
Hope’s heart softened a little. Elder Gray truly treated her like his own daughter.
She knew why she had chosen to go abroad pregnant and alone; her master was aware and had bluntly stated that he wanted to return to the country to give Waylon Lewis a few good knocks to the head to bring him to his senses.
Now that Waylon Lewis had personally brought her master back from abroad, his old anger over Waylon’s past actions had not subsided.
It seed that Waylon might really have to face a trial this ti.
Hope curled her lips into a smile. Her master was not easy to fool. She felt a hint of wicked satisfaction at the thought of Waylon being “tornted” because of his past behavior.
With these thoughts, Hope knocked on the door and entered.
“Grandfather, master, mother,” she greeted softly as she approached Old Master Lewis’s bedside.
“Little Hope, you really don’t show your true face, do you?” Old Master Lewis teased with a smile.
“Grandfather, I didn’t an to hide it from you; it’s just that I never found the right opportunity to tell you,” Hope apologized.
“No harm done, no harm done. I am proud and delighted of your achievents,” Old Master Lewis said with a beaming smile.
Elder Gray stood up, nodded politely, “Take care of yourself; I shall take my leave now.”
After that, he glanced at Hope, “You, co with .”
Seeing Elder Gray stand up, Hope quickly offered her arm to support him, “Master, are you in such a hurry to leave?”
“Elder Gray, let’s have dinner together tonight,” Alitzel Williams also quickly approached.
“No need. I have matters to attend to and must leave now,” he replied, then said to Hope, “You, follow.”
With that, Elder Gray walked toward the door, his spirit undiminished despite using a cane, and his presence nothing short of extraordinary.
Hope bade farewell to the old master and Alitzel Williams, then quickly followed Elder Gray out, catching up to his pace, slowing her footsteps to walk arm in arm with him, and smiling helplessly, “Master, I heard everything you just said, but actually Waylon and I are doing quite well now. He’s different from before.”
“No matter what you say, I want to see what he does.”
