She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 564: A Bit of Self-Awareness
Chapter 564: Chapter 564: A Bit of Self-Awareness
Everyone was watching, Noah Carter’s face was very grim, and despite the brevity of his words, he just couldn’t muster the strength to utter them.
If Emily Parker were to find out that Hope Williams and Luna Williams were his daughters, it likely wouldn’t just be a simple matter of her going mad here.
Noah Carter had a face full of worry.
He restrained Emily Parker with both hands, turned his head towards Hope Williams and said, "I’m sorry, my wife has misunderstood, bringing trouble to you; I will visit another day to apologize for today’s incident."
"Noah Carter, you have to make it clear to me, these two little bitches..." Emily Parker went on incessantly.
Waylon Lewis’s eyes and brows were extremely cold.
"If Mr. Carter can’t control his wife’s mouth, I don’t mind sending someone to help you manage," his voice was chilly.
Noah Carter felt like his hair was on fire, and with a roar at Emily Parker, he scolded, "Enough, do you have any brains at all? Do you know who he is?"
"I don’t care who he is, don’t try to change the subject..."
"He is Waylon Lewis, the executive director of Lewis Clan Group!"
Emily Parker was suddenly stunned. "What?" She frowned and her gaze sharply turned towards the man with the cold face, standing there, protecting Hope Williams.
"Waylon Lewis?!" Emily Parker was in a daze, doubt flashing in her eyes.
Noah Carter seized the quiet moment to continue angrily, "Forgetting everything else, with a husband like that, would Hope Williams spare a glance at me? I have some self-awareness. Do you have any brains? Do you think I’m still a handsome young man in my twenties? Able to attract anyone with a mere beckon, it’s simply ridiculous!"
Noah Carter let go of the hands that were restraining Emily Parker and huffed heavily.
Emily Parker quieted down on her own initiative.
It was actually Waylon Lewis!
The Patriarch of the Lewis Family, the executive director of the Lewis Clan Group, the top tycoon in Emperor Capital! He’s Hope Williams’ husband?!
Sophie Zhou couldn’t help but cover her mouth; she had heard of Waylon Lewis, the president of Lewis Clan Group before, a man like a Celestial Deity.
It was actually him!
But why wasn’t such a man hers? Just now, he had treated her like that! Sophie Zhou clenched her teeth tightly, looking at the woman he was protecting in his embrace; a feeling of jealousy welled up.
Listening to Noah Carter’s words, although the people around might not necessarily recognize Waylon Lewis, by seeing Emily Parker’s reaction to the man’s name, they could tell this man was definitely not just an ordinary tycoon.Gradually, the looks people gave Emily Parker became speechless.
"Mrs. Carter, stop making a scene. To put it crudely, with such a husband, why would this lady go after a man in his fifties? She must be mad or blind."
"That’s right, Mrs. Carter. The lady doesn’t lack a husband, money, or status. To be a mistress would mean she’s not right in the head. You should get a clear view of your own husband and make sure of the situation before jumping to conclusions, so as not to make such a big joke."
"Mrs. Carter, what you just said was indeed too ugly. Now you should apologize to these two ladies."
"Exactly, those words were too much. You maligned someone without discerning right from wrong, the lady was tainted for no reason; doesn’t she have a reputation to uphold?"
"Hurry up and apologize, Mrs. Carter..."
Emily Parker’s face went from white to purple with splendor.
Knowing she was at a disadvantage today, Emily Parker turned away angrily, grabbed her bag that she had thrown on the ground, and was about to leave.
Thomas Hughes’s expression was cold as he blocked Emily Parker’s path, speaking emotionlessly, "Mrs. Carter, please apologize to my wife."
Emily Parker gave a cold snort, "Move aside."
Thomas Hughes wouldn’t budge an inch, looking down at the woman in front of him with a heavy voice, "Apologize to my wife!"
How could Thomas Hughes let her leave just like that, didn’t he see the look on their Boss’s face?
It was nearly as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Their Boss’s bottom line was his wife; now that his wife had been wronged, if Thomas Hughes let this woman go just like that, then he might as well step down from his position as the personal assistant.
Emily Parker looked at the man in front of her, whose aura was not the slightest bit weaker, nearly grinding her back teeth to pieces.
Noah Carter had no choice but to step forward, taking a deep sigh, "Waylon..."
"I’ve already taken into account the favor you did for my wife in the past, indulging her for quite some time," he said.
The implication was that the favor had been used up, and there was no point in asking anymore.
Noah Carter looked towards Hope Williams again.
Hope Williams’s cool brows and eyes slightly gathered, her expression filled with worry.
The words Emily Parker had just spoken were filled with hostility, not only towards her and Luna Williams, but even more so towards her mother. Hope Williams wanted to know what exactly had happened between them that made Emily Parker so angry.
Hope Williams took a deep breath, her voice steady, "I don’t need her apology, but Mr. Carter, I need you to give me an explanation."
An apology is easy to give, but an explanation is not so simple.
"Alright, I will give you an explanation."
Noah Carter looked utterly exhausted.
"Let’s go!" Noah Carter, dragging his wife whose eyes were still filled with venom but dared not act rashly anymore, hurriedly left.
The main actors of the farce had left the scene, and the onlookers dispersed as well.
Waylon Lewis’s gaze followed Hope Williams, who shook her head slightly and forced a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m fine."
"Let’s go home." Waylon Lewis took Hope Williams’s hand.
Hope Williams nodded, said goodbye to Jade Bell, and left with Waylon Lewis.
Waylon Lewis, holding Hope Williams’s cold hand, his expression growing even more icy.
Jade Bell turned to Luna Williams, "Luna, are you alright?"
Luna Williams pressed her lips together and nodded slightly.
Her gaze deeply followed Hope Williams as she left; sometimes, she truly envied Hope Williams.
Envious of her for having such a husband who would always stand behind her without hesitation, becoming her strong and steadfast supporter.
But what did she have? Her most loving grandfather was in prison, her grandmother was biased towards Hope Williams, and her fiancé ignored her.
All she had left was the corporation her grandfather had intended to leave for her.
Luna Williams looked at Jade Bell and tentatively asked, "Grandma, I’m almost recovered from my illness. When will you give me the corporation?"
This sudden question genuinely caught Jade Bell off guard.
Seeing Jade Bell stunned, Luna Williams’s expression turned colder.
"Grandma, why aren’t you speaking?"
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? You’ve just recovered from your illness, don’t worry about these things for now." Jade Bell evaded the question with a few vague statements, coaxing, "Go back and rest for now."
Luna Williams’s face turned completely cold, filled with resentment.
"No need, I’m healed now, what’s there to lie down for? You go back by yourself, take care of my discharge procedures. I have things to do, I’ll be leaving first."
"Luna..."
Luna Williams ignored Jade Bell’s call and turned to run away.
With her old arms and legs, Jade Bell couldn’t possibly catch up to Luna Williams, and was left with a face full of worry.
Waylon Lewis took Hope Williams home, and the night gradually deepened.
Hope Williams leaned on the sofa, her eyes slightly downcast and lost in thought, not even responding when Luke and Willow called her.
Luke and Willow glanced at Waylon Lewis, who patted their heads gently, saying softly, "Go play by yourselves for a bit."
Waylon Lewis went over and gently embraced Hope Williams.
Hope Williams snapped out of her thoughts, exhaling softly, "What’s wrong?"
"I should be the one asking you that. Are you still thinking about what happened today?"
Hope Williams leaned into Waylon Lewis’s embrace, her body relaxing.
"Yeah." Being pointed at and scolded, although it was a misunderstanding, was still uncomfortable, but what made Hope Williams ponder deeply were the words Noah Carter held back at the end.
Those words that hovered on Noah Carter’s lips, but ultimately could not be spoken.
"If you’re still angry, I can have someone bring them over and give them a beating to let out your anger."
