Chapter 252 -252 One Causes Trouble, Another Indulges

Old Master Fuller was slightly stunned and glanced up at Hope Williams, who stood silently beside him.

He had met this woman once before, a woman with methods, and he had also investigated her. She was a woman without power or influence, one with no family background, and such a woman was not worthy of the Lewis Family.

The more Old Master Fuller thought about it, the angrier he became. Just for such a woman, Waylon Lewis had refused his Fuller Family’s precious daughter, which was an utter disgrace to the Fuller Family.

His granddaughter Vivia Fuller had the family history, the looks, and the abilities. He had even personally lowered his pride to come and discuss the matter, yet he found it incomprehensible why his offer was so categorically rejected.

Could it be simply because this woman had given birth to two children for the Lewis Family that he would have to assert such children were unworthy of inclusion in the Lewis Clan’s genealogy?

The Lewis Family must have rust in their brains to accept such a woman, someone so mismated in terms of social status.

Old Master Fuller gave another glance to Hope Williams and saw that the woman quietly stood her ground, prompting him to scoff disdainfully.

The scoff wasn’t loud, but Hope Williams heard the contempt in it clearly.

Her delicate eyebrows arched slightly, and she seemed to understand where the haughty attitudes held by the Fuller sisters, Vivia Fuller and Mia Fuller, came from.

Their Fuller Family’s ethos were so imperious and self-important, as if their own people were of unsurpassable nobility.

Old Master Fuller sighed heavily. “Old Lewis, I still advise you to consider more thoroughly. When choosing a wife, one must choose wisely—someone who matches in terms of social standing to avoid unnecessary ridicule later on. I am confident in Vivia’s capabilities, and only my Fuller Family’s lineage could possibly match with yours. You should persuade Waylon, and please give it some more thought yourself.”

Old Master Fuller’s deliberate utterances in front of Hope Williams was tantamount to showing her no respect. Not only was Hope Williams affronted, but Old Master Lewis’s face darkened instantaneously, his body radiating with anger.

“If you accepted this woman just because of those two children, I can assure you, once Vivia marries into your Lewis Family, she will certainly treat them as her own.”

“It seems Old Master Fuller has considered everything for the Lewis Family. You’ve gone to great trouble, indeed. Your Fuller Family really lives up to the reputation of being nosy.”

Hope Williams spoke lightly, “I’m sure you have also thoughtfully prepared an exit strategy for me, haven’t you? Perhaps a generous sum of money I could never spend in a lifetime to make me leave the Lewis Family, correct?”

Her tone was mild, yet it carried a momentum impossible to overlook, with a tinge of sarcasm that displeased Old Master Fuller.

“Children should not interrupt when their elders are speaking. Is this the kind of upbringing one gets from an insignificant family?”

Old Master Fuller mocked her, his disdain stark.

“The Fuller Family’s revered upbringing couldn’t be that exceptional either, could it?” Hope Williams replied, her voice still gentle, as though it held no threat, yet it made one’s hands clench in rage.

Layers of coldness settled in Old Master Fuller’s eyes, and his towering anger dispersed.

Those long used to high positions always carried a potent sense of intimidation; a mere look could make one’s legs tremble.

Yet Hope Williams met Old Master Fuller’s gaze unflustered. He gritted his teeth, “You certainly have a sharp tongue.”

Hope Williams hooked her lips coldly, “I’ll take that as a compliment. Thank you for the praise, Old Master Fuller.”

“Humph.”

Old Master Fuller snorted heavily, the sound echoing with his anger.

Vivia Fuller, standing by the side, tightened her grip continuously, furious that this despicable woman had rendered her grandfather speechless.

“Miss Williams, I think that in any case, you shouldn’t keep backtalking in front of an elder.”

“Miss Fuller calls Waylon ‘Brother Waylon,’ so I suppose I am entitled to be called your sister-in-law. By that logic, I am your elder,” Hope Williams said with a cold smile, “So please, in my presence, keep your mouth shut.”

“You!” Vivia was furiously at a loss for words, unable to retort.

Old Lewis, lying silently on the hospital bed, sipped his tea without a sound, corners of his mouth lifting in amusement, indulgent of whatever Hope Williams said.

“Old Lewis, your granddaughter-in-law truly has no manners.”

“In the Lewis Family, the elders are never wrong, and the younger generations cannot refute them for their own sake.”

Grandpa Lewis chuckled, “Old Fuller, if you came especially to see me today, then I am very pleased. But if it’s for something else, there’s no need to open your august mouth. I indulge my own granddaughter-in-law. If you have any dissatisfaction, direct it at me. Don’t make it difficult for the younger ones.”

Old Master Fuller stood up angrily, his aged face so creased with anger that new lines seemed to form, and his mouth twitched with fury.

“The exception will be Little Hope and Waylon’s wedding, which will take place next month. If you are free, you are welcome to attend.”

After Grandpa Lewis spoke, he motioned to Hope Williams, “Little Hope, I’m tired and need to rest.”

Grandpa Lewis’s intention to see the guest out could not have been clearer.

Hope Williams went over, adjusted Grandpa Lewis’s hospital bed to a flat position, tucked him in with a blanket, and then, with neither arrogance nor servility, raised a hand towards the door and said, “Please.”

“Stubborn and foolish,” spat Old Master Fuller before stormily walking out of the hospital room with Vivia Fuller.

“This is outrageous, my Fuller Family’s daughter is apparently worth less than a coarse and vulgar woman in the eyes of the Lewis Family,” Old Master Fuller fumed.

Vivia Fuller pursed her lips and said helplessly, “Grandpa, don’t be angry. That woman must have used some kind of witchcraft, since even the Lewis Family has accepted her. Grandpa Lewis, I’m afraid, is also deeply bewitched by her, that’s why he acts this way.”

Old Master Fuller narrowed his eyes slightly, “I will have someone investigate her background. Sooner or later, the mask will slip. How are the negotiations with the Lewis Clan going?”

“They’re still in talks, but there shouldn’t be any big problems. We should be able to clinch it soon.”

Only then did Old Master Fuller nod in satisfaction, “Hmm, secure this cooperation first, let them see your capabilities, and by the time they regret it, it will be too late.”

Vivia Fuller obediently nodded, “Understood, Grandpa. I will do my best.”

…

It was a rare day when Hope Williams got off work early, so she stopped by Waylon Lewis’s company.

These days, she had been busy at the hospital during daylight hours and spending evenings with Luke and Willow, thus had somewhat forgotten about a certain CEO.

As usual, the receptionist lit up like she saw her own mother upon seeing Hope Williams and enthusiastically greeted her, then personally escorted her to the elevator.

In the vast office, Waylon Lewis was sitting at his desk in a video conference.

Hope Williams approached his office door and gently knocked.

Seeing the door was unlocked, Hope Williams went straight in.

The man looked up with his cold eyes.

Hope Williams’s gaze just happened to collide with Waylon Lewis’s icy stare.

Hope Williams pursed her lips, pausing for a moment.

When he saw the woman who briefly paused, the expression in Waylon Lewis’s eyes instantly dissolved.

In its place was a faint surprise and delight.

“I knocked and saw the door was unlocked, so I came in. Did I disturb you?” asked Hope Williams in a gentle voice.

Waylon Lewis gestured for her to come closer, and after saying something in fluent French to the person on the computer, he shut the laptop.

Pulling Hope Williams by the hand, Waylon sat her in his embrace very candidly and nodded, “I was in a meeting.”
