She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 575: You Want Answers, I’ll Give Them to You
Chapter 575: Chapter 575: You Want Answers, I’ll Give Them to You
Emily Parker spoke unwillingly.
Noah Carter: "..."
Old Master Parker raised the cane in his hand, ready to strike Emily Parker.
Emily Parker jumped back twice.
Old Master Parker was so furious that several more wrinkles etched onto his face. He bellowed, full of rage, "Get back there and reflect on yourself!"
Emily Parker ground her molars.
Infuriating!
Today was supposed to be a scandal for the Williams Family, the two sisters of the Williams Family.
But it ended up becoming an embarrassment for them instead. Unforgivable!
Where did it all go wrong?
Emily Parker glared angrily at Hope Williams.
Hope Williams stood quietly to the side. Though she remained silent, her clear eyes seemed to declare that she had seen through everything, leaving Emily and Sophie to look like two clowns stripped bare, flailing before her.
How exactly did she manage to handle everything so perfectly?
The guests gradually dispersed, and Sophie Zhou and Emily Parker were taken away under repeated apologies from Old Master Parker and Noah Carter.
Hope Williams slowly descended the stairs, where Waylon Lewis was waiting for her below.
Upon seeing Waylon Lewis, Hope Williams quickened her pace and walked toward him.
When Hope Williams reached Waylon Lewis, he held a coat in his hands and reached out to personally drape it over her shoulders.
Wrapped in warmth, Hope Williams smiled faintly and looked up at the man before her. The cold, commanding presence she had moments ago was now replaced with tenderness.
"Is everything settled?" Waylon Lewis looked down at Hope Williams, gently tidying her hair as he asked.
Hope Williams nodded. "Mm. How about you?"
"Everything you instructed has been taken care of."
A faint smile danced in Hope Williams’s eyes. "That’s good."
While upstairs, Hope Williams hadn’t been idle. She had already informed Waylon Lewis and prepared a contingency plan in advance.
Luna Williams, who had been forcing herself to maintain control, finally broke down in tears once everyone had left. Large teardrops streamed uncontrollably.
Jade Bell saw her suddenly crying, utterly at a loss.
"Luna, what’s wrong?"
"Grandma, I... I..." Luna Williams struggled to speak. "You have to avenge me, or I can’t go on living."
Jade Bell furrowed her brows tightly. "Luna, speak slowly. What happened? What’s wrong? Why would you say something like that?"
Luna Williams began narrating the entire ordeal while sobbing.
Listening to Luna Williams, Jade Bell could hardly believe her ears.
She thought she might have heard it wrong.
So tonight wasn’t just Emily Parker and Sophie Zhou stirring baseless trouble—it was something real.
Luna Williams cried so hard she could barely catch her breath. She stormed over to Hope Williams and loudly accused, "It’s all because of you, you despicable person, trying to ruin me! Grandma, it’s her—it’s all her doing!"
Hope Williams: "..."
"You shouldn’t have saved such an idiot," Waylon Lewis remarked to Hope Williams.
In this situation, even if Hope Williams hadn’t helped Luna Williams and had let Emily Parker lead her people upstairs, Luka Reed would have pinned the blame on Hope Williams in front of everyone. Still, Hope Williams would have been able to prove her innocence and walk away clean.
But all girls would struggle to endure being seen naked by a crowd.
Putting herself in Luna’s shoes, Hope Williams ultimately chose to help Luna Williams at that critical moment, blocking the people who were rushing upstairs.
She had also asked Shawn Lee to climb down from the third-floor window to find clean clothes for Luna Williams to change into. That’s why Emily Parker and Sophie Zhou couldn’t detect a flaw—preserving Luna Williams’s dignity in the end.
Still, Luna Williams failed to realize it was Emily and Sophie’s scheme.
Hope Williams felt speechless.
Jade Bell looked at Hope Williams and then back at Luna Williams in shock, unable to believe this had anything to do with Hope Williams.
But seeing the enormous blow Luna Williams had suffered tonight, Jade Bell measured her response and spoke carefully, "Luna, don’t worry. As for Luka Reed, our Williams Family will not let him off. But Little Hope... Grandma feels it’s impossible that she did this. Someone must have deliberately framed her."
Luna Williams’s mind was a chaotic mess, consumed by the humiliation of being violated.
She couldn’t possibly calm down and think. All she knew was that Luka Reed had repeatedly claimed it was Hope Williams who directed him to do it.
She told Jade Bell, thinking Jade would comfort and pity her. Yet Jade still spoke in defense of Hope Williams.
Luna Williams felt abandoned by the whole world, screaming in frustration, "You’re biased toward Hope Williams; you favor her in everything. If Grandpa were here, none of this would happen."
Jade Bell reached out to soothe Luna Williams’s emotional outburst, but Luna pushed her away forcefully.
The elderly Jade Bell almost fell, but Hope Williams extended an arm to steady her.
"Luna, Grandma doesn’t favor Little Hope—it’s just that Grandma believes Little Hope would never do such a thing."
"You believe her instead of me, right? Grandma, I am the one who was wronged, assaulted, the victim—but why won’t you believe what I’m saying?" Luna Williams cried bitterly.
"Don’t you know how much she hates me? Doesn’t her hatred for me justify doing something like this?" Luna Williams interrogated Jade Bell repeatedly.
She was completely disillusioned, struggling to understand why Jade Bell wouldn’t trust her or take her side.
"Why? Why, exactly?" Luna Williams’s face was wrought with pain and sorrow.
Since Grandpa was imprisoned, no one had loved her anymore.
Hope Williams lowered her head slightly, sighed, drew back a strand of hair, and observed Luna Williams ranting manically like a lunatic.
Her cold, indifferent face bore no expression. She lifted a glass of water from beside her and stepped forward.
"Why won’t anyone believe me? That wicked woman..."
Her words choked in her throat.
Hope Williams raised her hand decisively, splashing the icy water onto her face. Luna Williams trembled all over.
"Luna... Little Hope, this..."
Hope Williams calmly set the glass down, tucked her hands into her coat pockets, and looked at her coolly. "Calmed down yet?"
"You want answers. I’ll give you one." Hope Williams took the phone from Waylon Lewis.
The phone was in the middle of a call, though the voice was muffled and indistinct.
The Carter Family.
Emily Parker slammed the car door repeatedly, as though she wanted to vent all her anger on it.
Sophie Zhou hurried to catch up with her.
Noah Carter watched his wife. The leg he had initially extended to step out of the car withdrew. He remained sitting inside, rolling down the window to light a cigarette.
Emily Parker cursed as she walked in a huff. She was still utterly confused about what had happened.
"Aunt, don’t be upset. If this time didn’t work, there’s always next time."
"How can I not be upset? I really don’t know how those two little wenches got so lucky. Look at your uncle—always siding with outsiders."
"Uncle might have been duped by them; don’t be mad. Ultimately, you two are husband and wife."
"And where’s your uncle now?"
Sophie Zhou glanced back. "Uncle didn’t get out of the car."
Emily Parker grew even angrier. "Look at that—just look! Now he’s sulking at me."
Emily Parker strode toward the door, only to find no servant there to open it. Her fury was about to explode.
She reached out to knock on the door, but still, there was no response from inside.
Left with no choice, she muttered curses while punching in the entry code, "Where is everybody today? Not even one person to open the door."
Emily Parker pushed the door open.
"If I catch the lazy good-for-nothing who’s slacking off, I’ll definitely—"
Her words stalled in her throat. Her entire body stiffened as she looked up at the scene before her.
"Ah—" Sophie Zhou let out a piercing shriek.
Darkness filled the space. As the door swung open, moonlight filtered in with an eerie and ghostly pallor. A bloodied figure was bound, dangling high above, struggling incessantly.
A deathly silence fell across the room.
"Ah—"
After a long stunned pause, Emily Parker snapped out of her terror, her legs giving way as she collapsed onto the ground and screamed hysterically.
