She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 576: Giving You the Truth
Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Giving You the Truth
This grotesque scene sent chills down their spines.
"Auntie." Sophie Zhou curled tightly behind Emily Parker, her entire body trembling in fear. "Is he... dead or alive?"
Emily Parker swallowed hard, her voice trembling, "He’s... alive."
Because he was still moving!
After a long while, Emily shakily climbed up from the floor. Sophie choked out, terrified, "Auntie, what are you going to do?"
Emily took a few steps forward and reached to turn on the lights.
With a soft click, the entire room lit up.
Only then did Emily clearly see the hanging figure.
Luka Reed!
Emily’s chest heaved dramatically as she stared incredulously at Luka, who was suspended in the air. His mouth was sealed with black tape, and he could only make muffled sounds of distress.
"Luka?" Sophie’s eyes widened as well.
How could he be here?
"Hurry, untie him quickly." Emily steadied herself and rushed to shut the door.
They quickly freed Luka. Emily ripped the tape off his mouth and anxiously asked, "I told you to stop Luna Williams. How did you end up like this?"
"It... it was Hope Williams. Hope showed up suddenly and saved Luna. Then her people beat me up." Luka’s face contorted in pain, his body covered in trauma, likely with multiple broken bones.
Emily furrowed her brows tightly.
"Did you manage to succeed at all?"
"Mm."
Emily’s face lit up. "Did you also follow my instructions and tell Luna that it was Hope who ordered you to do this?"
Luka replied, "I told her." frёewebηovel.cѳm
Emily finally allowed a smile to spread across her face. "Good. Then tonight isn’t a total loss for us."
"Ha, Mrs. Carter, after the beating I endured tonight, you’re still only considering your own interests," Luka grumbled bitterly.
Emily’s eyes flashed with calculated malice, and she sneered, "You volunteered for the job. You acted on your lust, and we even gave you the opportunity. Why don’t you blame yourself for this debacle?"
Getting beaten half to death for seducing a woman—Luka felt utterly cheated today.
Emily, now in high spirits, adjusted her hair and stood. "Alright, let’s get moving. I’ll arrange for someone to take you to the hospital."
Hunched over and holding his chest, Luka stumbled to his feet. Suddenly, "thud," a phone fell out of his pocket.
The three of them immediately froze and lowered their heads to stare at the device, which displayed a call duration of thirty minutes.
Emily was completely dumbfounded.
She sharply raised her head.
Luka was equally stunned, staring at Emily in disbelief.
"Who were you on the phone with?"
Luka vigorously shook his head. "I...I don’t know."
"You betrayed me?" Emily’s eyes widened, and she grabbed Luka by the collar.
Luka panicked and protested, "I did not! I don’t even know when the call started."
"A phone that was on your person, and you don’t know anything about it?" Emily narrowed her eyes dangerously.
"I really don’t know!"
Emily’s heart raced, dread spilling over her. She knew it was all over!
Meanwhile.
On Hope Williams’ side.
The voices from the phone came through crystal clear.
"I told you to stop Luna Williams. How did you end up like this?"
"It... it was Hope Williams. Hope showed up suddenly and saved Luna. Then her people beat me up."
"Did you manage to succeed at all?"
"Mm."
"Did you also follow my instructions and tell Luna that it was Hope who ordered you to do this?"
...
Luna Williams ground her teeth, her eyes fierce and filled with murderous rage as she listened to everything.
"Emily Parker! This is absolutely outrageous!" Jade Bell erupted with fury as soon as the call ended.
Hope’s expression remained calm as she closed her phone. "Did you hear it clearly?"
Standing motionless, hatred surged violently through Luna’s veins. She was so livid that she couldn’t even utter a word.
Hope raised an eyebrow slightly and put her phone back to her ear. "Mrs. Carter."
When Emily heard Hope’s voice coming from the phone, the true extent of her predicament became clear—everything was in Hope’s grasp.
Emily gritted her teeth, stiffly holding the phone to her ear, and spat through clenched teeth, "Well played, you scheming little snake!"
"Compared to Mrs. Carter, I am still somewhat lacking. Now, I must request that Mrs. Carter visit the Williams Family. After committing such despicable acts, you owe the Williams Family an explanation."
Emily’s jaw clenched tight in fury. "I won’t go!"
Hope’s cold and detached voice came through with unflinching dominance, "That’s alright. I will send someone to escort you."
The icy precision of her statement landed heavily, undeniable and laden with authority.
As soon as Hope ended the call, Emily raised her hand and hurled the phone to the ground.
It instantly shattered into pieces.
"Threaten me? She actually dares to threaten me? Who does she think she is?"
Sophie, having grasped the gravity of the situation by now, hunched her shoulders and timidly asked, "Auntie, what do we do now?"
"Do what? What can they do even if they know? They won’t dare call the police for something like this. Unless Luna Williams is ready to lose her own reputation, she’ll stay put at home. I’d like to see what they can possibly do to me."
As soon as her words fell, a group of bodyguards dressed in black stormed through the door.
The loud commotion made everyone shrink back instinctively. Emily turned to face Thomas Hughes’ piercing gaze.
Emily backed away hurriedly. "What are you trying to do?"
"Our lady requests Mrs. Carter visit the Williams Family."
Emily swallowed hard, staring straightforwardly at Thomas, attempting to put on a façade of authority. "This is the Carter Family! Do you think you can run wild here? Get out!"
Politeness aside, Thomas’ tone turned harsh. His face carried no trace of warmth. "That’s no longer up to Mrs. Carter."
The bodyguards behind Thomas moved swiftly and hoisted Emily up before dragging her outside.
Emily’s face turned pale, and she screamed in panic, "Let me go! Breaking into private property—I’ll call the police!"
Thomas, unrelenting, replied coldly, "Hiring someone to commit rape, framing and slandering our lady—compared to Mrs. Carter’s crimes, breaking into your house is insignificant, isn’t it?"
"Let me go! Let me go! Aaah! Help!"
Thomas glanced briefly at Sophie, who was cowering against the wall.
Sophie quickly yielded, saying, "I’ll go on my own."
Noah Carter, sitting in the car and having just finished his cigarette, was stepping out when he saw Emily being dragged outside, screaming profanities.
Noah’s face tensed as he noticed the menacing group. He immediately stepped forward to block their path. "Stop right there! Where are you taking my wife?"
Emily seized the moment like a lifeline. "Noah, save me!"
Thomas nodded slightly at Noah. "Mr. Carter, perhaps you should ask Mrs. Carter about the ’good deeds’ she’s done tonight."
Noah recognized Thomas as one of Waylon Lewis’ men. His brows furrowed deeply as he looked at Emily and Sophie.
Emily lowered her head sheepishly, unable to meet his gaze.
