She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 178 - : With Me by Your Side, You Are the Elite, What You Say Goes

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: With Me by Your Side, You Are the Elite, What You Say Goes

Mia Fuller carefully kept her head low, adopting a very apologetic demeanor, “Grandpa Lewis, Brother Waylon, Sister Hope, I’m sorry. I truly came to apologize sincerely. It was my mistake to lay a hand on the child before, I’m sorry.”

Mia deeply bowed, full of sincerity.

Yet behind this full display of sincerity, Hope Williams could see the barely contained indignation, resentment, and rage—an anger that seemed almost ready to flay skin and pull bones in a bid to slake the hatred in her heart.

Hope lifted her eyes to meet Vivia Fuller’s, which were filled with scorn.

With a slight twitch of her eyelid, Vivia seemed to be shooting out a message with her gaze: Just you wait.

Alexander Knox was right; neither of the Fuller sisters was a pushover.

They were born to a level of society unreachable to ordinary people. How could they tolerate anyone above them? They wouldn’t allow it, and should someone rise above, they would fiercely pull them down into an abyss and grind them to dust!

If they wanted to play, then let’s play.

Hope Williams wasn’t someone who looked for trouble, but she was never afraid of it either. Let them come.

No one told Mia Fuller to straighten up, so she kept bending over in a deep bow.

Witnessing her sister caught in an awkward situation, Vivia Fuller said nothing, letting her continue to bow. She was waiting, waiting for Elder Lewis to speak.

Mia’s body was visibly trembling.

“That’s enough,” Old Master Lewis waved his hand irritably. “Stand up straight and talk.”

“Mia!”

At Vivia’s command, Mia bit her lip and straightened up, her delicate face awash with tears, looking pitiful to the extreme.

“Why are you crying? You think you did nothing wrong? How dare you even cry?” Vivia Fuller’s voice was cold as she interrogated Mia, her tone pressing and icy.

“Sister—” Mia called softly.

Vivia lifted her gaze, her eyes icily sweeping over her. Mia immediately stopped the tears on her face and lowered her head sharply, “I’m not crying, I was wrong.”

Did Vivia Fuller dote on her sister Mia? Not quite, for Mia’s feelings towards Vivia were more akin to fear—a fear that ran deep to the bone.

The fact that Mia was so obedient showed this woman’s methods were exceptional.

Seeing this, Elder Lewis felt compelled to say something, “Alright Vivia, since Mia knows she was wrong, let’s put this matter behind us.”

Vivia Fuller smiled to Elder Lewis, “Grandpa Lewis is always so forgiving. I believe Mia certainly won’t make the same mistake again.”

Elder Lewis responded neutrally.

With this trick, they had won over Elder Lewis. What else could anyone say?

“Are you Miss Williams?” Vivia Fuller’s gaze shifted coolly onto Hope Williams, feigning ignorance.

Hope looked at her indifferently.

“Hello, Vivia Fuller.”

“Hope Williams.”

Vivia Fuller slightly nodded, “Mia did something wrong this time, and I should pay a visit to apologize. It’s just that there are many noble families in Emperor Capital, but somehow our family’s driver doesn’t know the way to the Williams family.”

Hope could clearly hear the underlying message in her words, “I’m afraid that’s because Miss Fuller only knows the way to the noble families, and unfortunately, my family is not one.”

Vivia Fuller lifted her brows in feigned surprise, “Is that so? That’s my oversight. I had assumed that to be with Brother Waylon…” Her words trailed off, followed by a shallow smile, “Sorry, it was presumptuous of me. I meant no offense, I just thought that a lady who could be with Waylon must surely be from a noble family.”

She hadn’t expected her family wasn’t even considered noble.

Vivia heard her own admittance with even more disdain and cold laughter in her heart.

What right did such a woman have to stand beside the most prestigious man in Emperor Capital?

It was a joke.

“Miss Williams, although I’m an outsider, I can’t help but suggest that the Lewis family is a great noble house, and Brother Waylon is exceedingly distinguished. As Brother Waylon’s woman, your every word and action represent the Lewis family. Do you understand the etiquette and rules of the nobility?”

Was she inferring that Hope was the pig that had rooted up Waylon Lewis, the fine white cabbage?

“I think Miss Williams should learn the rules of the nobility, lest any slip might affect the Lewis family, might affect Waylon. If you truly care for Waylon, surely you wouldn’t want to cause him any distress, would you?”

Hope Williams nodded slightly, “Miss Fuller is right, your Fuller family is indeed a noble family. So why don’t I see the Miss Fullers’ behavior and manners as strict and flawless?”

Vivia Fuller glanced at Mia and maintained a perfect smile on her face, “Mia’s fault lies in her excessive approach and lack of emotional control, which cannot be discussed on the same terms as our current topic.”

“Wrong is wrong. If she can’t control her own emotions, is that not a failure of education by the Fuller Family?” Hope asked calmly.

Vivia Fuller continued to smile breezily, without a hint of fault, “Miss Williams has a point, but ultimately this is the Fuller family’s internal affair. It really isn’t something for Miss Williams to question.”

“Mhmm, right, so whether or not I am from a noble family, or whether or not I understand the rules of the nobility, what business is it of yours?”

Hope smiled faintly, her tone light.

“Waylon Lewis, does it bother you?”

Her voice was clear and serene, and as she spoke, she turned her confident gaze toward Waylon Lewis.

Waylon Lewis gently wrapped his arms around his woman’s slender waist, “I don’t care. With me, you are nobility, and what you say is the rule.”

Vivia Fuller’s brows twitched suddenly. Besides several Lewis family elders, someone actually dared to call out Waylon Lewis’s full name so impudently.

And Waylon Lewis was actually indulging her.

Hope raised an eyebrow at Vivia Fuller.

Vivia Fuller was silent for two seconds, caught off guard.

“Hmph, Auntie, my daddy just adores my mommy, please don’t be envious. Even if you are envious in your heart, don’t be, because that is reserved for my mommy.” Luke’s little face lifted in pride as he spoke with assurance.

For once the perfect smile on Vivia Fuller’s face cracked slightly, but she recovered quickly, immediately resuming her grin.

During dinner, the food was set on the table and since the guests were still there, it was only polite to invite them to join. Alitzel Williams cordially invited, and Vivia Fuller readily accepted.

“Sister-in-law, you’re discharged?” Wyatt Lewis was, as always, punctual for dinner.

Vivia Fuller’s brows rose slightly, “Why do you call Miss Williams your sister-in-law?”

“Is there something wrong?” Wyatt Lewis only then noticed there were guests in the house and asked indifferently.

“Miss Williams…”

Hope smiled slightly, “Since Miss Fuller addressed Waylon with the term ‘Brother,’ you should also call me ‘sister-in-law.'”

Vivia Fuller’s brows rose, “As far as I know, Miss Williams and Waylon are not yet husband and wife. I fear you’re not fit to carry the title ‘sister-in-law.'”
