Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Everyone Likes It Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Everyone Likes It Wyatt Lewis glared fiercely at the two before turning and taking the driver’s seat.
“The Lewis Family is too vile, they look for you when they need sothing, and then they ignore you for over a decade when they don’t. What kind of people are they?”
Wyatt had heard bits and pieces about the Williams Family’s treatnt of Hope Williams and her daughter, and now he just felt angry.
Hope propped her head with her hand, closed her eyes slightly, her stunning features unable to hide the distress.
Wyatt watched her from the rearview mirror, “Sister-in-law, you’re not going to go soft, are you?”
“As a doctor, I can’t ignore soone dying, and as a junior, I can’t neglect my grandmother.”
Old Master Williams severed ties with his mother, but the grandmother didn’t. She was of advanced age, and Hope truly couldn’t bear to ignore her, knowing full well she was unwell.
“So you’re going back to the Williams Family?” Wyatt frowned.
Hope took a deep breath and shook her head, “I can’t make that decision just yet.”
Because she still didn’t know if this was true or not. What if they were deceiving her?
If they wanted her to return to treat her grandmother, they could have just told her the first ti they t. Not beat around the bush for so long before ntioning it.
They seed more like they were looking for a reason to get her to return.
But this was just Hope’s speculation, uncertain of its truthfulness, and she couldn’t find a reason why they would need to lie to her.
Wyatt didn’t try to persuade her further; he better hurry up and tell his brother about this.
Driving aimlessly for a while, Wyatt suddenly rembered that he hadn’t asked Hope where she wanted to go.
Hope reported to Wyatt the address sent to her by Aria Richardson.
The twenty-minute drive was quickly over.
Getting out of the car, Hope saw Aria standing at the door, waving to her.
“Hope.”
Hope’s eyes fell on Aria’s attire, a loose gray linen dress with no design at all, completely concealing her figure.
Her neglected hair casually tied in a low ponytail, her delicate face frad by bulky black glasses.
Hope leaned in closer to see thinly dotted freckles painted across Aria’s cheeks.
Hope tugged at her lips, “I can see that you’re fiercely resisting your mom.”
“Right? You really know , I made sure this outfit would ensure that man wouldn’t take a second look at .”
Hope said somberly, “Sacrificing a thousand of our own to kill the enemy.”
Hope rembered that this missy wouldn’t even leave the house without dressing perfectly and now had gone to such lengths to appear ugly.
“I’ve decided to just go for it.”
“It’s apparent that you really went for it.”
“Holy shit, how did you end up like this?” Wyatt, who had parked and co over, couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed.
Aria asked, “How did you get here?”
Hope said, “Yeah, aren’t you the driver?”
“I can also double as a bodyguard.”
Hope looked at Wyatt and smiled, “You’ve got a wide range of services.”
“Alright, I won’t keep talking. I’m going in; Hope, you and Wyatt wait for at the side.”
Wyatt asked, “With that outfit, are you sure he’ll be interested in you?”
“I’m counting on him not to be.”
Aria revealed a sly smile, and dissatisfied with her hair not being ssy enough, she tousled it so more before walking in.
Wyatt watched Aria with a smile lingering in his eyes.
Hope, however, looked at Wyatt with a touch of worry in her gaze.
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t believe that Wyatt, the flirtatious Young Master Lewis, was seriously falling for Aria.
But her best friend, despite claiming to have given up on Alexander Knox, still couldn’t seem to let go in her heart.
The coffee shop was quite populated at the mont, with Aria’s seat by the window. Her date hadn’t arrived yet, so she ordered two cups of coffee to wait.
Hope and Wyatt chose a booth not too close yet not too far from Aria and sat down.
Seeing Wyatt constantly glancing towards Aria, Hope shook her head helplessly, took a sip of water, and said, “Don’t worry, Aria went out of her way to uglify herself like that, I doubt he would fall for her.”
“What if the guy’s blind?”
Hope pursed her lips in a smile, “Our Aria truly is a stunning beauty that everyone loves, so Young Master Lewis, could you tell what you like about her?”
“I like… everything…”
Wyatt paused and realizing he had spoken too quickly, saw the knowledgeable smile on Hope’s face, and his face flushed as he stamred, “You… Why are you trying to extract words from …”
Hope shrugged, “You said it yourself; nothing to do with .”
“Cough…”
Wyatt awkwardly took a sip of his coffee, “I… you… Can you not tell her?”
Wyatt stuttered.
Hope rested her chin on her hands and smiled, “Why not?”
“No reason, just don’t tell her…”
Hope laughed softly, her eyes catching a glimpse of a man in suit and shoes passing by.
She didn’t pay much attention.
The next mont.
“Bang!”
A sound of a ceramic cup shattering ca from Aria’s direction.
Hope and Wyatt were both startled and stood up, looking over as they made their way there.
“Why are you here?”
“Why are you here?”
Aria Richardson t eyes with the man standing before her.
At the sight of the newcor, the phrase “Holy shit!” that Wyatt Lewis often had on his lips suddenly popped into Hope Williams’s mind.
It was Alexander Knox!
Aria’s blind date was with him?
At this mont, Aria was dumbstruck. The coffee she was holding had spilled all over the ground.
Alexander Knox looked at Aria with a hook in his lips and smiled, “What a coincidence.”
Right now, Aria wished she could just crawl into a hole and hide.
Why him?
Why him?
She had dolled herself up to look like this, so why was he still staring at her?
Oh god! Internally, Aria was in utter despair.
Wyatt Lewis’s face darkened considerably, his brows knitting together as he looked at Alexander Knox, “The person she’s supposed to have a blind date with is you?”
Alexander did not deny it and nodded slightly, then glanced at Hope Williams and Wyatt Lewis, “How co you two are here as well?”
Hope coughed lightly, “Ca for coffee.”
“If I rember correctly, you’re pregnant!”
Hope Williams, “…”
Aria subtly moved towards Hope Williams, seeking help with her eyes.
Hope Williams said, “Well, since everyone knows each other and are quite familiar, about the blind date… do you still want to continue?”
Aria imdiately said, “No, not continuing.”
Alexander Knox, “Yes, continuing.”
Wyatt Lewis, “No way.”
Hope Williams was first taken aback, then tugged at the corner of her mouth.
What could she say now?
Aria was about to speak when Alexander Knox beat her to it, “Miss Richardson, you still owe a al from last ti. I have so things I’d like to discuss with you. Since you’re here, please have a seat.”
“I…”
Alexander Knox made a welcoming gesture with a commanding air.
“Don’t you see she’s unwilling?” Wyatt Lewis asked with a heavy voice.
“Are you unwilling?” Alexander Knox’s dark brows lifted slightly as he looked at Aria Richardson, “Then we can talk another ti if you wish.”
Aria clenched her eyes shut, deeply torn, and with a hundred hesitations, she reluctantly sat down in the booth.
Wyatt Lewis’s expression grew even more grave.
Seeing the situation, Hope Williams tugged at Wyatt Lewis’s clothes, and he, holding back his anger, turned and walked away.
Hope Williams managed a strained smile, “Then you both continue.”
Wyatt Lewis returned to the booth, downing his coffee as if drinking liquor.
Hope Williams sipped so water silently, “Not planning to sleep tonight?”
Wyatt Lewis expressionlessly ordered another cup of coffee.
Hope Williams shook her head.
Then, from behind Hope Williams’s curved booth, a familiar voice wafted over.
“Now that I am part of the Lewis Family, there’s no problem at all taking you all for a tour of the Lewis Family’s old mansion.”
Hope Williams furrowed her brows—it was Grace Gray!
The voice continued, “Grace, you’re so fortunate, just look at all these designer clothes you’re wearing; I always knew you were no ordinary person.”
“Indeed, Grace is now Miss Lewis of the leading family in Emperor Capital, the Lewis Family. Her status is not like before and is incomparable to ordinary people.”
“Grace, does that an you get to see the young masters of the Lewis Family every day? Are they as handso as the rumors say? Now they are your brothers; could you possibly bring them out for us to et?”
Grace Gray laughed, “Of course, my two brothers dote on the most right now. Bringing you to see them is no trouble at all.”
Hope Williams raised an eyebrow, her long slender fingers rhythmically tapping on the tabletop.
Wyatt Lewis, who was already in a sour mood, felt even worse now encountering this woman here.
And she had the nerve to say that he and his brother dote on her!
That’s just ridiculous. To say he didn’t want to deal with her would be an understatent.
Hope Williams shook her head slightly, indicating that Wyatt Lewis should stay calm and continue listening.
The voice behind them carried on.
“It’s useless to et them. What illusions do you still harbor? Young Master Lewis is already married to that… what’s her na? Hope… Hope Williams.”
“I really don’t see what’s so special about Hope Williams. Rumors say she’s just a woman with no background. Why should she marry Young Master Lewis? Also, I think her face isn’t that pretty. Just soone skilled in seduction, nearly thirty years old, an old woman. I say, Grace is much younger and prettier.”
“That’s right, Grace. Didn’t you ntion before that that old scheming woman often bullied you? You must have suffered a lot in that family.”
Grace Gray sighed helplessly, “It’s okay, I can endure it. Whether she dislikes , bullies or makes things difficult for .”
“You’ve been wronged, Grace. We’ve seen plenty of such scheming old won. Next ti we see her, we’ll definitely teach her a lesson for you.”
“That’s right, we can’t let Sister Grace be aggrieved.”
Grace Gray, “Thank you all, but there’s no need. You can’t outdo her; her scheming is truly remarkable. Everyone in that family is completely chard by her, I’m just an adopted daughter; I can’t compare.”
“What’s wrong with being an adopted daughter? Mrs. Lewis still dotes on you. On the other hand, if her heavy scheming gets exposed, she might be the one driven out of the Lewis Family. Young Master Lewis really married a calamity.”
Right now, Wyatt Lewis really wanted to go over and slap them—how dare they badmouth his sister-in-law behind her back.
Hope Williams smiled, picked up her handbag, and stood up, saying faintly, “Wyatt, send , this scheming old woman, back to plague your brother.”
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but enough for the people behind her to hear.
Imdiately, silence fell behind them. Grace Gray’s spine chilled as she abruptly stood up, staring incredulously at Hope Williams and Wyatt Lewis, “You guys…”
