Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Clean Up and Prepare for Bankruptcy
Hope Williams tilted her head slightly, her gaze shifting to the edge of her eye sockets and, with a swift side step, dodged the oncoming Waylon Lewis, who took the opportunity to pull her into his arms.
Vivia Fuller fell into empty air, her balance lost, toppling forward.
With a "thump," Vivia Fuller crashed down onto the ground.
The crowd, silenced by the preceding events, finally exhaled in relief.
"That scared me to death. Thank goodness Young Madam Lewis ducked in time, otherwise she would’ve been done for."
"Exactly, that crazy woman is trying to take someone’s life. It’s terrifying; and I heard Young Madam Lewis is pregnant. If she had been pushed, the baby would’ve been in jeopardy. That woman is so vicious."
"Oh my god, that fall might not kill someone, but for a pregnant woman, it’s incredibly dangerous. Vivia Fuller clearly wanted to cause Young Madam Lewis to miscarry with that shove. Such a venomous intention."
Hope Williams looked at Vivia Fuller on the ground and said, as if she had expected this, "You all saw that, she tried to kill me, attempted murder. Call the police."
"Wyatt Lewis, call the police for me," Alitzel Williams demanded as she glared at Vivia Fuller, fuming with anger.
"Right on it."
Waylon’s gaze was deep as he looked at the woman in his arms; it was heavy and carried a trace of indignation.
Henry Fuller, who had been standing off to the side of the stage, observed everything.
Vivia was trying to provoke Hope into attacking her so that Hope would become the murderer, with Vivia as the victim.
Hope indeed had a moment when she felt the urge to kill Vivia; with the knife in her hand, she could easily eliminate the threat to her child. But in just a split second, she regained her composure.
She put away the knife, chose not to strike Vivia, and instead took a risky move to infuriate Vivia.
With the slander against Hope, Vivia would only face public reproach, but time dilutes everything. As people gradually forget, Vivia could still live well. Her existence continued to pose a threat to Hope and her child.
However, it would be a different story if Vivia went to prison.
So Hope deliberately irritated Vivia, sure that Vivia would become desperate enough to reveal her murderous intent in front of everyone.
Attempted murder, enough to put her behind bars.
Hope used Vivia’s own tactic to punish her.
It was laughable that Vivia, holding onto the hope of turning the tables by stirring Hope’s emotions, lost all rationality to a few words from Hope and walked straight into her trap.
Hope was doing the most rational thing in the craziest way possible, neutralizing the biggest problem.
Henry Fuller slightly tugged at his lip, then turned and walked down from the elevated platform. Perhaps it was time for him to prepare for the Fuller Clan bankruptcy and to pick up the pieces.
Vivia was right about one thing; the Fuller Family’s downfall was Hope’s "fault." If not for Hope, the outcome of the competition between the Fuller and Lewis families might have been different.
The police arrived quickly and controlled Vivia Fuller from both sides.
Vivia was furious, somehow finding the strength to struggle fiercely.
"Don’t touch me, get off..."
"Please cooperate," the police said in a stern voice.
Vivia swung her hands wildly, desperately roaring at Hope, "You did it on purpose again, Hope Williams, you did it on purpose to harm me... Bitch, bitch, let me go..."
Vivia Fuller’s flailing hand struck one of the police officers in the face, and the officer quickly restrained her hand behind her back.
"Add one degree to the charge of assaulting an officer, take her away."
"Hope Williams, you bitch, just you wait, wait till I get out, I won’t let you off, just you wait..."
Vivia Fuller was taken away by the police, but her heart-wrenching screams could still be heard from afar.
At this moment, the live stream’s chat was filled with cheers, the viewers were evidently finding it satisfying.
"Brilliant, my cousin is amazing, finally dealt with that wicked woman," Harry Williams clapped in front of the screen, unable to contain himself.
Old Master Williams curved his lips slightly, a rare hint of a smile on his typically cold and calm face, "She’s very smart, just like her mother, only..."
As he spoke, Old Master Williams sighed. A phone ring interrupted him, and Ted Williams passed the phone to the elder, "Grandpa, it’s Luna."
A touch of tenderness flickered in Old Master Williams’ eyes as he took the phone, and after connecting, a soft voice came through, "Grandpa, are you still in Emperor Capital?"
Old Master Williams spoke gently, as if afraid to frighten the girl, "Yes, your grandpa and your two brothers are all in Emperor Capital."
The girl on the other end coughed heavily a few times, her voice sounding frail, "Grandpa, have you seen Sis? I watched the live stream; she’s amazing, shining on stage. She looks like she’s doing well, unlike me, so sickly... cough cough cough..."
Hearing the heavy coughing from the other side, Old Master Williams’ brows knitted tightly, full of distress, "Luna, are you feeling unwell? Is the doctor with you? Did you take your medicine today?"
"I took it, grandpa, don’t worry, I’m fine. Maybe we shouldn’t disturb Sis’ life, I’m already like this; I don’t want to be a burden to her." The voice on the other end came with few suppressed light coughs, growing fainter.
The old man’s grip tightened with worry, he urged anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about, Luna, she’s your sister, it’s not a burden at all; saving you is her duty. You just focus on your treatment and take your medicine, listen to the doctor, grandpa will definitely bring her back to save you."
A gentle voice on the other end replied with a hint of resignation, "Alright."
"But what if... what if Sis isn’t willing?"
"She will be."
After hanging up, Harry Williams, standing aside, frowned and couldn’t help but step forward, "Grandpa, don’t you think you’re going too far?"
"Too far? What is too far?" Old Master Williams’ face grew cold.
"It’s unfair to my cousin."
Old Master Williams’ gaze became a cold stare fixed on Harry, "Are you questioning my decision?"
"Harry Williams." Ted Williams chided sharply with a look prompting Harry to stay silent.
Harry clenched his fists, full of reluctance, "Grandpa, don’t forget, my cousin is pregnant now."
A flicker of guilt crossed Old Master Williams’ eyes, but it was fleeting, vanishing so quickly that perhaps even he failed to grasp it. He sighed lightly, "I will compensate her."
"Compensate? You make it sound so nice, but tell me, how do you compensate a child?"
"Harry, how can you speak to Grandpa like that?"
"All you care about is Luna."
"Harry!" Ted Williams yelled furiously.
Harry’s slender eyes brimmed with anger, and after several pointed looks from Ted, he hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth tightly and, with a slam of the door, left.
