She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 260 - Wronged

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Wronged

Cynthia’s reputation precedes her.

She is an unattainable presence in the medical field, secretly sought after by many wealthy families who wish to have her treat them or perform heart surgery on their sick relatives.

However, her whereabouts are extremely secretive and very hard to locate.

Unexpectedly, she appeared right before their eyes.

Upon hearing Alitzel Williams’ words, Hope Williams’ expression subtly changed, and she sighed softly but did not say anything further.

Hope Williams did not want to disclose her identity; first, to avoid trouble, and second, indeed, if her identity were revealed, some matters could become uncontrollable.

Revealing it in such a setting would spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and afterward, it would likely leave her without a single quiet day.

“Really? Is she the famous Dr. Cynthia?”

“Yes,” Alitzel Williams affirmed proudly, looking at Hope Williams. “Our Old Master Fuller’s life was saved by Little Hope.”

“It’s unexpected that the famous Dr. Cynthia is so young. It’s definitely shocking to us.”

“Yes, yes, Young Madam Lewis is so young and capable, beautiful too, Alitzel, you are really blessed to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law.”

“That’s great.” A distinguished lady came forward, and in excitement, even pushed Alitzel Williams aside to grasp Hope Williams’ hand. “Dr. Cynthia, my heart has been uncomfortable for a while. Could you check it when you have time?” ƒгeewёbnovel.com

“I feel the same, Dr. Cynthia. I’ve been feeling heartsick recently, and I don’t know why. Please take a look.”

Amidst various adulating voices, Hope Williams reluctantly tugged at the corner of her lips.

Vivia Fuller and Mia Fuller, the two sisters, were pushed to the back of the crowd. Mia Fuller even fell embarrassingly, furious at the situation.

The banquet concluded.

Hope Williams and Alitzel Williams returned home with the two little ones, and as soon as they entered, they sensed something was amiss.

In the Lewis Family main hall, Christopher Lewis sat on the sofa, his expression grim and autocratic. Old Master Fuller and Isaiah Lewis sat on one side, their faces equally gloomy.

Seeing Hope Williams, Christopher Lewis’s eyes grew colder.

Alitzel Williams’ eyes shifted, blinking.

“Well? What brings Old Master Fuller here in such high spirits so late at night to visit the Lewis Family, and yet no one had the decency to entertain him properly?” Alitzel Williams said as she politely motioned the servants to serve some refreshments.

“Mrs. Lewis, don’t bother; we’re here today because there’s something we need to clarify. Please sit first.”

Alitzel Williams subtly tugged at Hope Williams’ sleeve, signaling that nothing good could come from these three being together.

Surely, they were here because of Hope Williams.

Alitzel Williams managed a forced smile and glanced at Isaiah Lewis. “Isn’t this the big brother who was driven out by the Lewis household? How come, even before the Old Master is dead, his word has already become worthless in your opinion?”

Isaiah Lewis bit his cigarette and chuckled, “Little sister-in-law, let’s not dwell on past grievances. We are still family, why differentiate so strictly?”

“Who’s family with you?” Alitzel Williams rolled her eyes coldly and took Hope Williams’ hand. “Come, let’s go upstairs.”

“Wait.” Christopher Lewis spoke sternly. “Who gave her permission to leave? I’m not dead yet.”

Alitzel Williams pushed Hope Williams upstairs. “I give permission.”

Hope Williams raised her eyebrows slightly, patting Alitzel Williams’ hand to reassure her.

Since they were targeting her, what use was there in hiding?

Alitzel Williams couldn’t be at ease; their intentions were obviously directed at Hope Williams. With Waylon Lewis not at home, she had to protect her.

“Mom, please take Luke and Willow upstairs first,” said Hope Williams.

“No.” Luke and Willow clung to Hope Williams from each side, sensing the ill intentions of the group of ‘bad uncles’ determined to stay to protect Mommy.

“Christopher Lewis, if you have something to say, just say it,” Alitzel Williams said irritably. “Stop causing constant unrest at home every day.”

“I’m causing unrest?” Christopher Lewis instantly grew furious upon hearing this. “Ask your precious daughter-in-law what she has done, who really is the one causing unrest in this household.”

Hope Williams furrowed her brows slightly, her voice distinctly cold as she asked, “I’m not aware of anything noteworthy I’ve done, please enlighten me.”

“Still pretending to ask?” Christopher Lewis glared at Hope Williams with a chilling, oppressive demeanor. “Just because you hold a personal grudge against the Fuller Clan’s heiress, did you or did you not instigate Waylon to refuse a collaboration with the Fuller Clan in front of him?”

Hope Williams frowned, “I haven’t heard of any collaboration, and I don’t know about it.”

Pausing, Hope Williams continued, “Regarding where you heard such a thing, perhaps you should first verify what really happened with that person.”

“You’re still arguing? Dare to do but not to own, what sort of character is that?”

His words dropped, and the atmosphere in the living room instantly turned icy.

Christopher Lewis found Hope Williams increasingly displeasing.

This woman of no renown and influence was originally not worthy of their Lewis Family.

Considering she bore Waylon two children and saved the Old Master, he had reluctantly agreed to let her stay by Waylon’s side. Yet, now she dared to take charge of corporate affairs. A few more years and she might climb over his head, and he couldn’t tolerate that.

“I’m not making excuses, I truly do not know about the matter you’re discussing.”

“Hmph,” Old Master Fuller snorted angrily. “So you mean to say my granddaughter is lying to me, slandering you, is that it?”

“Old Master Fuller, let’s not jump to conclusions on whether it’s slander. I’m completely unaware of the matters you speak of. You accuse me based on a few sentences, should I just accept the blame?”

Hope Williams stood her ground, her voice strong and unyielding as she challenged them.

What a composed and articulate woman.

In a brief moment, Old Master Fuller chuckled darkly.

“You are a smart woman, but you’ve misused your intelligence. There are no walls without cracks in this world; you know what you have done yourself, there’s no need to play dumb.”

Hope Williams looked at Old Master Fuller with a steady gaze, “I’m someone who dislikes beating around the bush; if you have something to say, please speak directly.”
