Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Rumors Abound

Waylon Lewis had already walked over, "What’s going on?"

Thomas Hughes glanced at Hope Williams, who knew they were about to discuss serious matters and tactfully turned towards the vanity.

Waylon Lewis’s eyes narrowed slightly in the cold.

Thomas Hughes quickly lowered his head and said, "Boss, you still..."

Thomas Hughes silently gestured with his hand, asking him to please follow.

It was obvious that he wanted to avoid discussing it in front of Hope Williams.

Waylon Lewis concealed his emotions and frowned slightly, walking out of the room. Thomas Hughes glanced at Hope Williams and bent over to close the door.

Hope Williams noticed Thomas Hughes’s subtle actions, the eyebrow pencil in her hand pausing briefly, her brows lifting slightly.

What Thomas Hughes was discussing was clearly something he was intentionally keeping from her.

In the study, Waylon Lewis sat on the sofa, his brows tightly knitted.

Thomas Hughes spoke gravely, "Boss, there have been some rumors about the madam in the company recently..."

"What have been said?" Waylon Lewis asked in a deep voice.

Thomas Hughes, with a heart racing in fear, composed his language and immediately said, "There are rumors in the company that the madam doesn’t have any family background and that she married you purely by using the child to climb upwards..."

Thomas Hughes stammered through his explanation, his head unconsciously bowing lower.

But in fact, he was being relatively tactful. The rumors about the madam were much worse; he didn’t dare to speak them out loud, fearing for his life.

He really didn’t know which reckless individual in the company dared to discuss and spread rumors about the madam behind her back.

Don’t they know that the madam is treasured by the boss, held in his mouth for fear of melting, and held in the palm of his hand for fear of falling?

Don’t they know that it is the madam who, when the Boss is angry, decides their "life or death"?

Utterly reckless.

Thomas Hughes silently cursed that person’s ancestors in his mind.

Waylon Lewis’s brow furrowed deeply, his eyes brimming with coldness as if a storm was raging within, he asked, pressing down his anger, "Who started it?"

"We’re still investigating."

In such a large company, with so many people and so much gossip, rumors spread fast and mutate, finding the source isn’t simple.

Just the investigation time alone is enough to drown Hope Williams in spit.

So as soon as he found out, he rushed over to inform Waylon Lewis.

Though risky, it was better than keeping silent while being aware.

Waylon Lewis said sternly, "Find them, we must drag this person out."

Thomas Hughes felt a whirl of unease in his heart; he knew that this matter would surely fall upon him, hence, despite the difficulty, he had already started the investigation.

"What about the madam concerning this matter?"

"Don’t let it reach her."

Regardless of whether Hope Williams would care about this matter, it would certainly affect her mood.

She had been suffering from nightmares recently; this kind of thing must not be brought before her to cause her distress.

"Understood." Thomas Hughes nodded earnestly, he would swear to protect and absolutely would not let any gossip reach the madam’s ears.

Hope Williams applied a touch of light makeup to herself, her skin fair, not requiring much foundation, just a swipe of light lipstick to enhance her complexion, making her look all the more beautiful and fetching.

Hope Williams came out of the room to see Luke and Willow, the two little ones, squatting at the door.

Hope Williams paused, the two of them looking exactly like two little divine beasts guarding the door.

"Luke, Willow, what are you doing squatting here?" Hope Williams quickly picked up both Luke and Willow, looking at the two pitiful little ones.

"Waiting for Mommy," Luke and Willow immediately responded.

"Then why not come in?"

Luke pursed his little mouth, "Isn’t it because Daddy, this stingy ghost, always throws us out."

They didn’t want to enter. Humph, as if they didn’t have a little temper of their own.

Hope Williams’s brow furrowed slightly, recalling Waylon Lewis’s previous actions; she couldn’t help but sigh, looking at the two poor little ones in front of her. Waylon Lewis was acting just like a strict stepfather.

"What are you chatting about?" Waylon Lewis happened to come out from the study, naturally ignoring the two little ones, and walked to Hope Williams’s side, raising his hand to take her hand.

Hope Williams shook off his hand.

Waylon Lewis looked at her, his expression slightly surprised, "What’s wrong?"

"Are Luke and Willow your biological children?"

Waylon Lewis then glanced at the two little ones in front, "Of course."

"I think you act just like a stepdad; you’re not good to them at all."

"That’s right, that’s right," Luke and Willow nodded repeatedly, seizing the opportunity to eagerly recite a series of "misdeeds" committed by Daddy.

"Mommy, you don’t know. Not only does Daddy not let us into your room, he also..."

Waylon Lewis’s expression darkened, "Don’t wrong me, I never said you couldn’t enter."

Willow, "There is, there is. Daddy almost left us at Grandpa Gray’s house last time."

"That’s right, Daddy always picks us up like this, like picking up little chickens." Both little ones said, acting out the motions, performing vividly.

"Daddy also last time..."

"Shut up."

"Oh~" Luke and Willow immediately closed their little mouths, their big eyes looking pitifully at Hope Williams, quickly hiding behind her, looking very frightened.

As if Waylon Lewis had really "abused" them.

"Waylon Lewis." Hope Williams scolded angrily.

Waylon Lewis pursed his lips tightly and immediately fell silent, lowering his eyes; his demeanor suddenly dropped a notch, looking like he was waiting to be disciplined.

Hope Williams pointed at Waylon Lewis, "You..."

"It’s my fault, don’t be angry." Before Hope Williams could finish her first word, Waylon Lewis immediately held her hand, drawing close to her.

"Don’t you like Luke and Willow?"

"I like them." How could he not love his own son and daughter?

"If you like them, why do you always bully the little ones? If you keep bullying Luke and Willow, I won’t have any more babies with you."

Waylon Lewis pressed his lips together.

Bullying by throwing his weight around?

Waylon Lewis looked at the two clever and mischievous little ones, and as the woman before him spoke, he felt an inexplicable sense of grievance.

When Willow had rampaged through the garage with paint, when Luke had breached his computer and deleted his files, when he couldn’t even spank or scold them, Waylon Lewis would remember Hope Williams’s words, bullying by throwing his weight around!

"Mommy, don’t scold Daddy. Daddy definitely didn’t mean it," Luke peered at Waylon Lewis, a scared expression as he hid in Hope Williams’s arms, begging for mercy for Waylon Lewis.

"Willow isn’t mad at Daddy either, Mommy, don’t scold Daddy. It must be that we did something wrong and made Daddy angry, that’s why he did that..." Willow pouted with reddening eyes, looking truly pitiable.

Waylon Lewis, a tall man of one meter eighty-eight, stood stunned in place, and when Hope Williams’s stern reprimand swept over, Waylon Lewis’s dark eyes were unprecedentedly bewildered.

What on earth were these two little things talking about just now...

Luke and Willow, hidden in Hope Williams’s embrace, blinked provocatively at Waylon Lewis.

For all the years he had lived, Waylon Lewis never imagined that one day, he would be outsmarted by his own son.
