Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Fulfilling Miss Fuller’s Filial Piety

"What does Vivia Fuller mean by this? What trick are you trying to play now?" Alitzel Williams felt that something was off about this woman from the start, and it seems she was right; this woman was behind the mischief.

"I..." Vivia Fuller’s face turned pale, and she racked her brain but couldn’t think of any way to defend herself.

Alitzel Williams wasn’t interested in hearing her stutter. She looked fiercely at Ava Carter and asked directly, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Ava Carter, scared to tears, couldn’t stand the gaze of so many eyes upon her. She immediately said, "The two Miss Fullers sent me a message to bid against Young Madam Lewis during the auction for the Blue and White Dragon Pattern Double Eared Bottle... to drive the price up as much as possible, and then to stop bidding once it reached a certain point..."

Ava Carter cried as she spoke; her meaning was clear. Vivia Fuller intended to make Hope Williams spend more money by tripping her up during the bidding, but she didn’t anticipate the plan failing and being exposed by Hope Williams, causing the 2 billion yuan to fall back on their own heads.

"It was the two of them who told me to do it, and they were the ones who instructed me to bid. If you want the money, ask them for it. Don’t come to me... I don’t have it..."

Even if she sold the entire Carter Clan, it wouldn’t amount to that much money. Her father doted on her, but if he found out she had lost the company because of these two sisters, she would be done for.

Ava Carter was terrified and desperately trying to sever any association with Mia Fuller, pushing all the blame onto Vivia Fuller.

Vivia Fuller’s complexion turned deathly white at that moment.

Just then, Hope Williams’s calm voice slowly rose, "Does Miss Fuller also like the Blue and White Dragon Pattern Double Eared Bottle?"

Vivia Fuller furrowed her brows tightly and turned her rigid gaze towards Hope Williams, not understanding the meaning of her question or what she was planning. Her mind was a complete mess.

Pretending to be brave, she forced a smile and said, "Yes... Yes, that’s right."

Hope Williams nodded as if she understood and said, "Then I see, Miss Fuller has been quite considerate in her efforts."

Alitzel looked at Hope Williams with a deep meaning, not understanding her intention, and asked, "Little Hope, what do you mean by that?"

Hope Williams stepped forward, took Alitzel’s hand with a smile, and said, "Mom, I think Miss Fuller is too embarrassed to compete with me directly. The only way would be to arrange for someone else to bid on her behalf, right?"

Alitzel raised her eyebrows, even more perplexed as she looked at Hope Williams. Her words seemed to be giving Vivia Fuller a way out.

Hope Williams’s voice continued elegantly, "However, Miss Fuller is young and probably not interested in these antiques. Working so hard to bid for it, is it because tomorrow is Grandpa’s birthday, and like me, you want to present this Double-Eared Bottle as a birthday gift to Grandpa?"

Hope Williams paused and continued with a light laugh, "I remember Miss Fuller once said that she regards our family’s old master as her own dear grandfather. Miss Fuller really has a heart full of filial piety."

Alitzel Williams quickly grasped the implication, the corners of her lips curling into a smile as she followed up with Hope Williams’s comment, "In that respect, Miss Fuller really has a kind heart. I would like to thank Miss Fuller on behalf of our family’s old master in advance."

Vivia Fuller’s brow was still tightly furrowed, and she had not yet grasped the intention behind the mother and daughter-in-law’s coordinated response.

Not until after Hope Williams finished speaking and began to clap did scattered applause start to sound throughout the venue. Alitzel Williams cooperated very well with the applause, and the people around them began to catch on, gradually filling the entire venue with clapping.

"Miss Fuller really has an admirable heart of filial respect."

"Miss Fuller’s filial piety is simply unmatched."

"Miss Fuller’s devotion truly deserves our admiration."

Amid the clapping and praises, Vivia Fuller’s face grew darker and darker.

She would have to fork over 2 billion yuan for a bottle snatched from the hands of Hope Williams to give to Hope Williams’s grandfather!

She must put out the 2 billion yuan and the bottle must be sent.

Hope Williams’s recent words directly made her into an idiot who spent money and got nothing in return!

The applause echoing through the venue was like slaps continuously hitting her face.

Each and every compliment was an odd and sarcastic mockery, making Vivia Fuller lose all her dignity.

A taste of blood spread inside her mouth, and her meticulously manicured nails had already dug into her flesh. She fixed her gaze on Hope Williams, watching the smile curling at the corner of her mouth, and really, she had ten thousand thoughts of rushing forward and tearing her apart.

"What’s it called to reap what you sow? This is it, isn’t it?"

"Miss Fuller is willing to spend two billion to buy this Double-Eared Bottle, even personally delivering it to the Lewis Family. In the end, she spent two billion and got nothing. She arranged so much, purely for the sake of spending money, haha."

"Young Madam Lewis really is too amazing. Miss Fuller trying to compete with her is simply a joke."

"I’m almost dying of laughter, losing both the lady and the troops. Miss Fuller sure has some talent."

"I wonder if Miss Fuller brought enough money this time, two billion, after all. The auction house can’t allow credit; it must be paid in full, to see if she can actually come up with the money."

People couldn’t help but laugh louder at the sight of Vivia Fuller’s pale and ashen face, "What do you call this? Hoisted by her own petard, hahaha."

"What are you saying? Can’t you speak properly? According to Young Madam Lewis’s words, what Miss Fuller exhibited was her piety—you don’t understand anything."

"Yes, yes, I misspoke. Miss Fuller is indeed very pious; we simply can’t compare."

The word "piety" was emphasized with heavy sarcasm.

At that moment, the auctioneer approached with a few security guards, inquiring with a still respectful tone, "Miss Fuller, may I ask how you will be paying?"

A snicker escaped someone nearby; it seemed the auction house was afraid Vivia Fuller might run away.

Hope Williams faintly curled her lips.

With these voices continuously entering her ears, Vivia Fuller stood trembling on the spot, unable to produce the two billion.

What should she do now?

What should she do?

Her head ached with anger, her eyes closed, and her body instinctively leaned backward. Hope Williams, with quick reflexes, stepped forward to brace Vivia Fuller’s back.

Vivia Fuller, with her eyes closed, grimaced.

"Miss Fuller, please don’t faint just yet. If you must, at least wait until after you’ve paid," said Hope Williams, her voice cool, as she forcefully pushed Vivia Fuller back with her arm.

Vivia Fuller stumbled a few steps on the spot, then glared back at Hope Williams with a surge of hatred, unable to hold back anymore, "Hope Williams, you bitch, it’s all your fault."

Hope Williams looked indifferent, neither dodging nor avoiding, and just as Vivia Fuller’s hand was about to grab her, a strong hand firmly grasped Vivia Fuller’s wrist and flung her aside.

Vivia Fuller staggered back two steps, her back collided with a chair, and she rigidly fell over, knocking down a heap of chairs.

"Rip..." A sound of fabric tearing.
