She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 278: Let’s See How Long You Can Remain Arrogant

Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Let’s See How Long You Can Remain Arrogant

"Don’t try to bluff your way through; my reading comprehension is perfect, and what you just said implies exactly that." His tone was light, carrying a hint of pleasure as he watched her calmly.

Hope Williams tugged at the corner of her mouth, helplessly looking at the man before finally letting out a light laugh.

At the Fuller Family home, Vivia Fuller’s gaze uneasily settled on the always solemn Old Master Fuller.

The incident from those years ago at the Lewis Family was not that simple—it was the Lewis Family’s Achilles’ heel. If they found out it was connected to the Fuller Family, Vivia could not imagine the consequences.

"Grandpa, it seems that Miss Hope Williams has a deep relationship with that Liam Cloud. He won’t tell her about what happened back then, will he? After all, he was the only witness."

"What’s there to fear? Even if the Lewis Family did find out, it wouldn’t start with us.

Besides, Vivia, you should know that after so many years, everyone in the Lewis Family is convinced Liam Cloud was responsible. Even if he told Hope Williams, what difference would it make? Who would believe them?"

Old Master Fuller picked up the teacup in front of him and sipped the water, his gaze deep as he looked at Vivia Fuller.

"It will only drive a wedge between the Lewis Family and Hope Williams."

Vivia suddenly became interested. "What do you mean, Grandpa?"

"Hope Williams has a close relationship with the enemies of the Lewis Family and even defends them. What would you do in her position?"

"I’d kick such a double-crosser out of the house," Vivia said with a fierce look in her eyes, instantly understanding Old Master Fuller’s intention.

"You shouldn’t only not fear, but you should also push them further."

"What do you mean?"

"The old man at the Lewis Family must hate Liam Cloud, right?"

Vivia curved her lips, "I understand, Grandpa."

Old Master Fuller chuckled softly, "Then what are you waiting for?"

"I’m on my way."

Just then, a servant came out with a thermos filled with freshly stewed soup for Vivia Fuller. "Miss, your soup."

"Mm," Vivia accepted the thermos.

Old Master Fuller’s smile deepened slowly, "Order it to be so, by any means necessary, keep Liam Cloud in the Emperor Capital. I believe, with the Lewis Family out of the picture, he will be our best ally."

The Fuller Family was second only to the Lewis Family and would become the foremost wealthy clan in the Emperor Capital should the Lewis Family fall!

Since they don’t want an alliance through marriage, they can’t blame him for being ruthless.

"By the way, go find Isaiah Lewis."

"Yes."

When Vivia Fuller arrived at Old Master Lewis’s hospital room, only a caretaker accompanied him.

Vivia entered with a troubled look and softly called out, "Grandpa Lewis."

Old Master Lewis put down the book he was using to relieve his boredom, took off his reading glasses, and looked towards Vivia, "Vivia, what brings you here?"

Vivia paused for a moment, approached Old Master Lewis, and pursed her lips, "Grandpa Lewis, I made this soup myself and brought it especially for you to try."

Old Master Lewis’s expression was mild as he nodded, "That’s thoughtful of you."

Vivia poured the soup from the thermos into a bowl and handed it to the elderly man, "Grandpa, don’t mention it. I made plenty. I’ll also bring some to Brother Waylon to try."

Old Master Lewis took the bowl, his gaze pausing, his brow furrowing, "Bring some over?"

The look of distress deepened on Vivia’s face, "Yes, Brother Waylon was injured in a car accident and just had surgery. He really needs to strengthen up. Today, someone named Liam Cloud caused a scene at the hospital and really upset Brother Waylon; he’s quite weak now."

Old Master Lewis suddenly sat upright, his brows furrowing continually, "Waylon was injured?"

Vivia inwardly sneered, realizing that the Lewis Family had told Old Master Lewis nothing.

Vivia pretended to be surprised, "Grandpa Lewis, you didn’t know?"

Old Master Lewis pulled up the blanket, about to get out of bed, while the caretaker and Vivia hurriedly stopped him, "Grandpa Lewis, please don’t move; you still have an IV and can’t get out of bed."

The old man anxiously asked, "How is Waylon now?"

"Brother Waylon is already out of danger," the doctor said he will recover gradually, so you don’t need to worry, Grandpa Lewis. Please lie down, do lie down first," Vivia Fuller said urgently, comforting him repeatedly.

"What could have caused this?" Old Master Lewis, anxiously clutching his chest, coughed a few times, his brow furrowed, "And what about Liam Cloud that you just mentioned?"

Miss Vivia hit right on what Old Master Lewis was asking about, her face full of distress, "I’m not exactly sure of the details myself. I’ve only heard that he came looking for Miss Williams, and it seems he has a deep relationship with her."

Brows furrowed, Old Master Lewis’s expression darkened at the mention of that name, "Are you saying Liam Cloud is in Emperor Capital?"

Vivia Fuller, at a loss, nodded, "Yes, is there a problem, Grandpa Lewis? I heard that Uncle Lewis had a big argument with Brother Waylon and Miss Williams over this man. Miss Williams seems to care a lot about him and is protective of him. Is there something special about him?"

Old Master Lewis, after listening, said nothing, but his tight face was enough to prove his mood at the moment.

Vivia Fuller smiled cunningly; her grandfather’s words had been proven correct.

All members of the Lewis Family believed Liam Cloud was the culprit behind past crimes; their grudge against him ran deep.

And Hope Williams’s relationship with Liam Cloud undoubtedly touched a raw nerve for the Lewis family.

If Hope Williams kept involving herself, Vivia couldn’t believe that even if Waylon Lewis tolerated it, Christopher Lewis and Old Master Lewis, along with Alitzel Williams, would.

Vivia Fuller could already envision how interesting things would become next.

Hope Williams, just you wait, your good days are coming to an end.

She was truly curious about how Old Master Lewis would handle Hope Williams.

She was already looking forward to it.

Leaning against the hospital bed, Old Master Lewis’s brows and eyes grew darker and angrier.

Hope Williams, always caught up in problems, didn’t stay long in Waylon Lewis’s ward. She had just come out when she ran into Vivia Fuller.

As always, in the presence of others, Vivia Fuller maintained her dignified, gentle smile, but beneath it all, she always carried a sense of scorn and superiority.

She also saw Hope Williams, who walked straight past her, with no intention of engaging, and simply left.

"Miss Williams, don’t you greet acquaintances?" Vivia Fuller looked at her sideways.

Hope Williams slightly paused her steps.

"Sorry, I’m not familiar with you."

Vivia Fuller, with a tight face, let out a cold laugh, "Continue to act arrogant, Miss Williams. You won’t be able to for much longer."

"Do you know what I enjoy seeing the most in you, Vivia Fuller?"

Vivia Fuller frowned, her eyes filled with questioning.

"I love seeing how much you hate me but can’t do anything about it. Must be frustrating just venting your frustrations."

"You!" Vivia Fuller clenched her teeth.

"What are you talking about?" Christopher Lewis and Alitzel Williams approached, on their way to see Old Master Lewis.

Vivia Fuller quickly put on a flawless smile, all previous malice vanishing, "Uncle Lewis, Aunt Lewis, I was just joking with Miss Williams. But somehow, she got angry, perhaps she took it the wrong way."

"Joking?" A chill flashed in Hope Williams’s eyes, "Since when were Miss Fuller and I on good enough terms to stand together and joke?"

Hope Williams unhesitatingly exposed her, causing Vivia Fuller’s expression to stiffen, looking quite unpleasant.

Christopher Lewis frowned and warned Hope Williams, "Can you speak properly?"

"No worries, Uncle Lewis," Vivia Fuller hurriedly said, "I’m used to this kind of treatment from Miss Williams."

Her words clearly implied that Hope Williams often treated her this way.

Alitzel Williams watched coldly.

"If you don’t provoke Hope Williams, I believe that given her nature, she wouldn’t specifically show you hostility," said Alitzel Williams, her voice soft, obviously siding with Hope Williams.

But when Hope Williams looked at Alitzel Williams, Alitzel Williams clearly avoided her gaze.

Hope Williams knew that Alitzel Williams was still angry with her for not prioritizing surgery for Waylon Lewis.
