She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 274 - So Does Hope Williams Get a Divorce

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: So, Does Hope Williams Get a Divorce?

“It’s good that you’ve come around,” Christopher Lewis said, his voice just falling, as Waylon Lewis started to speak, “I can divorce, and after the divorce, I will have nothing.”

Christopher’s eyes narrowed significantly, “What do you mean?”

“All the assets in my name have been transferred to hers.”

So after the divorce, Waylon Lewis would have nothing.

“What did you say?” Christopher cried out in shock, his eyes wide open, his voice even louder.

Waylon did not respond, his expression indifferent, as if this was not a matter worth shocking over, but a matter of course.

Likewise, Hope Williams stared at Waylon with eyes full of shock, “When did this happen?”

He had transferred all the assets under his name to hers, and she knew nothing about it.

“Our first day of remarriage,” Waylon responded tenderly to her.

Hope felt a sourness around her eyes, she had no idea about this, nor had he ever brought it up. She would have never imagined he would do something like this.

If they truly came to the point of divorce, what he transferred to her name would become her personal property, and he would indeed be left with nothing.

“You…” Hope’s eyes were moist, suddenly at a loss for words.

Waylon looked down at the woman beside him, a gentle smile on his face, his large hand caressing her hair, “If one day you want to divorce me, then I must have done something wrong, and this would be my punishment.”

There were many things Waylon had been sure of in his life.

But in this particular matter, he had never been confident.

Any slight issue, he would fear her leaving, he feared she would disappear.

If she didn’t want him anymore, it had to be because he did something wrong; losing her was no different from having nothing.

Having her meant he had everything.

Losing her meant he lost everything.

This was the security Waylon Lewis offered Hope Williams.

“I did something wrong, I have upset you, disappointed you, misunderstood you without clarifying the situation, all these are my sins, you can choose to divorce and punish me by leaving me with nothing, and I will have no complaints.”

Waylon’s dark eyes were filled with Hope, he looked at her with utmost seriousness.

“So, does Hope Williams want a divorce?”

Hope’s eyelashes trembled.

He loved her, he had placed all he had on her because she was his everything.

For her, he truly was ready to have nothing.

He was holding back nothing, and had not left himself an escape route.

How many people in the world dared to make such a decision?

But Waylon Lewis did.

Waylon’s assets were astronomical, but for him, none compared to her.

Hope clenched her teeth hard, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him, the complicated emotions in her heart unspeakable.

He was willing to bet his all on the future.

She would not let him down.

“We won’t divorce, Waylon Lewis. We’re not getting a divorce.”

Waylon’s eyes were full of tenderness, “You don’t blame me?”

“I did blame you, I felt wronged, and you don’t know how much I wanted to share my grievances with you. But the moment you came back, you bombarded me with questions, you didn’t believe my explanations, you said I was full of lies, you have no idea how wronged I felt.”

Hope mumbled through her tears, her voice trembling, like a little child in need of comfort having been wronged.

Waylon’s gaze grew deeper, he lifted his hand to wipe her tears, “It’s all my fault.”

When he found out the truth, he had so much he wanted to say to her, he really wanted to hold her tight and comfort her.

For a long time, Christopher couldn’t utter a word; he simply couldn’t believe he could go to such extents for a woman.

How could he dare? Dare!

He was the future Family Head of the Lewis Family! How could he allow himself to be in a position where he could have nothing at any moment?

Christopher’s breath stuck in his chest as he watched Waylon looking at Hope with tender eyes, feeling angry, hateful, and helpless; his trembling fingers moved back and forth between them.

His mouth was agape for a long time, but he could not utter a single word.

Still think about divorce, what a joke!

With this woman’s assets now, they could practically rival half of the Lewis Family’s empire.

She wasn’t born into wealth, but his dear son elevated her to that status by sheer force.

Even if they wanted a divorce, he pressed down and wouldn’t allow it.

When comparing a woman to having nothing at all, Christopher Lewis still knew which weighed more.

So, Waylon Lewis just deliberately used those words to block him, well done, very well done.

“Waylon Lewis, do you have only this woman in your mind?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Fine, very fine.”

Christopher Lewis was really going to be angered to death! Truly about to be angered to death!

His anger was real, but he was truly helpless.

Christopher Lewis took several deep breaths. Moments later, he huffed heavily and stared at Hope Williams, “Don’t think you can do whatever you want now, since you’re part of the Lewis Family, you should always put the Family first. You must tell me everything you know about Liam Cloud.”

Hope Williams looked at Christopher Lewis with apprehension, “What are you going to do?”

“A blood debt must be repaid with blood.” Christopher Lewis’s eyes were ruthless, clearly not considering the possibility of letting Liam Cloud off the hook.

Hope Williams pursed her lips.

“Was there any hidden truth to the incident that year?”

Hope Williams asked Liam Cloud about it before. He told her not to get involved.

But when she asked him, he did not admit to being the perpetrator. Hope Williams knew Liam Cloud too well. Given Liam Cloud’s flamboyant nature, if he had done it, he would want the whole world to know, without bothering to hide it.

Moreover, if the Lewis Family did not have any grievances with Liam Cloud, he would not have attacked the Lewis Family without reason.

Hope Williams felt there was more to the story.

“There’s no hidden truth; it was him who made the move. What? You still want to defend him?” Christopher Lewis had not a hint of a pleasant tone.

Hope Williams’s voice was clear, “I’m not defending him; I just want to know the truth, and I think you understand that, given Liam Cloud’s power, even if the Lewis Family has a vast enterprise and substantial financial strength, if we were to act against him, it’s likely we would both suffer, don’t you think?”

“Don’t say any more. There’s no misunderstanding about this matter; he has to repay what he owes the Lewis Family.”

Hope Williams looked at Christopher Lewis earnestly, “I would like to ask you for some time, I will surely give you a satisfactory answer for this matter.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I want to know the real situation from back then.”

Christopher Lewis narrowed his eyes, “You want to investigate the events of that year?”

“That’s right.”

“Bang.”

As Hope Williams’s voice fell, the sound of something heavy falling echoed from the door.

“Who is at the door?” Several people looked toward the doorway in unison.

“Click.” The door opened, and Vivia Fuller came in with a thermos in hand, an apologetic expression, “I’m sorry, I was making soup for Brother Waylon, but I clumsily dropped it.”

Hope Williams quietly narrowed her eyes, sizing up Vivia Fuller.

Vivia Fuller had a look of helplessness and continued with her apologies, her facial expressions seamless.

“Miss Fuller, have you been at the door all this time?”

Vivia Fuller’s eyes flickered as she responded to Hope Williams, “I just arrived. I especially came to apologize. I was a bit too blunt when speaking with Waylon just now; those words were unintentional. I hope Brother Waylon won’t take them to heart.

Also Miss Williams, I am sorry about some matters before. If I have offended you in any way, I hope you can forgive me.”

Hope Williams didn’t speak and just looked at her. Some matters? She hadn’t made clear what these matters were, and she thought they could just be left in the past?

Hope Williams sneered.

Vivia Fuller barely pulled a smile, “The soup is spilled. I’ll go back and make another one.”

“Much appreciated.” Christopher Lewis nodded at Vivia Fuller, looking at her as satisfied as ever.

Only, it seemed such a fine girl was fated to not be with their family.

Maybe he should speak for Wyatt Lewis, if marriage could be arranged, it would be a fine thing indeed.

Though Wyatt might be somewhat unruly, he was by no means lacking.

“As I should. Uncle, you are too kind. I will be on my way.” Saying this, Vivia Fuller did not linger and quickly walked out, her steps showing a slight urgency.

Hope Williams’s refined brows slightly arched.

What was she panicking about?

Vivia Fuller clenched her teeth, threw the broken thermos into the trash can, and immediately took out her phone to call Old Master Fuller.

Hope Williams wanted to investigate the death of the Lewis Family’s third son!
