Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Forcing Hope Williams to Return to the Williams Family

Ted Williams nodded, "Grandma doesn’t like staying in the hospital, so Grandpa invited the doctor to our house and got all the medical equipment we need there. We can just go straight back to the Williams Family home."

Hope Williams’s frown deepened.

"Please," Ted gestured for Hope Williams to get into the car.

But Hope Williams didn’t move and asked, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier that Grandma wasn’t in the hospital?"

Ted Williams paused and said, "You didn’t ask before."

"What’s with all the dawdling? Are you afraid we’re going to hurt you or something?" Old Master Williams came over personally and asked when the three of them were taking too long to get into the car.

Old Master Williams gave Hope Williams a glance, and an overwhelming sense of oppression bore down on her, but she didn’t look away; she met his gaze.

There was an icy coldness in Hope Williams’s starry eyes, "You called me back to save Grandma, but how much of what you’ve said is actually true?"

"We’ve told you the truth; if you don’t believe it, you can go back and see for yourself."

Hope Williams just felt amused, "Has anyone ever told you that you really resemble traffickers?"

Ted Williams, "..."

Old Master Williams, "..."

Hope Williams sighed and slowly began, "First in Emperor Capital, it was a kidnapping; when that failed, you suddenly told me the reason you were looking for me was because Grandma was sick and needed my treatment. Now I’ve arrived in City A, you say Grandma is at the Williams Family home, not in the hospital. It seems your initial goal has always been to get me back to the Williams Family home, but why? Is Grandma really sick?"

Hope Williams’s gaze grew even icier.

"If you don’t trust us, why are you coming back with us?" Old Master Williams hated being questioned, his eyes narrowing with displeasure.

Hope Williams hesitated for a moment, giving a rueful smile, "If I don’t come back with you, would you have let me go?"

To make her return to the Williams Family, they even resorted to kidnapping; their eagerness must mean there’s a reason she must return, one they can’t let her know.

If that’s the case, they won’t stop until they’ve achieved their goal.

Better to come back and resolve the matter than to keep resisting in Emperor Capital.

Ted Williams watched Hope Williams in confusion, furrowing his brow, "How did you figure out something was wrong?"

"You just told me," Hope Williams said with pursed lips and a smile, "I was only suspicious before, but your words just now confirmed to me that Grandma isn’t sick."

Ted Williams’s frown deepened into a "川" shape; he had been unwittingly played by her.

Old Master Williams glared coldly at him, and Ted Williams immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak rashly again.

"Now that you’re certain, tell us, what exactly did we do that made you so suspicious of the truth of this matter?"

Hope Williams smiled, "It was over half a month in Emperor Capital from the first time you appeared to Harry Williams telling me Grandma was sick. If you were merely looking for me because Grandma was sick, you could have told me right away. There was no need for such an elaborate plot, suggesting the illness was a last resort.

Moreover, when Harry Williams told me about Grandma’s illness, he seemed conflicted and even a bit nervous. At that moment, I wondered what he was struggling with. Perhaps he was struggling not to deceive me?"

Hope Williams’s eyes lightly swept towards Harry Williams.

Harry Williams lowered his head.

He wasn’t cut out for lying, as it turned out.

"Also, he probably wanted to say ’Actually, what I just told you was a lie,’ but because of your presence, he stopped short and turned it into ’What I just told you is true.’"

"Furthermore, if Grandma really were so critically ill, you all would be wasting precious time by stalling with me in Emperor Capital."

"However, these were all guesses before I came here. I was doubtful and didn’t want to gamble with Grandma’s health. I also wanted to know why you were doing this, so I came."

After finishing her explanation with a smile, Old Master Williams’s expression turned exceedingly grim.

After a long while, his stern face suddenly softened into a smile, "What a pity."

"Pity about what?"

Old Master Williams sighed, "I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted and let Maya take you away. If you had stayed by my side and I had raised you myself, you wouldn’t have just ended up being a doctor at a hospital. But it’s not too late, you can come back with me to the Williams Family. I will compensate for all your years of hardship, and you won’t need to be a doctor anymore. I can give you shares in the company and get you a position at the Williams Clan."

Hope Williams sneered, "Being a doctor has been my dream since childhood. I don’t care for your compensation, nor for your shares, and I certainly won’t be joining the Williams Clan."

A glint flickered in Old Master Williams’s eyes at Hope Williams’s rebuke, startling both Ted Williams and Harry Williams.

Old Master Williams detested people not following his orders.

Just when they thought Old Master Williams was about to explode with anger, he instead laughed, "Your mother said the same words many years ago. However, she eventually chose to listen to me, joining the company. Everyone praised her exceptional talent and courage, and the company prospered under her leadership, only... "

Old Master Williams’s eyes noticeably chilled as he spoke, as if recalling something that infuriated and grieved him, "But later, she met a man. For that man, she defied me time and time again. Ever since meeting that man, she stopped obeying me like before."

Old Master Williams took a deep breath, clenched his eyes tightly, then refocused his gaze on Hope Williams, "Now, you only have two choices before you: come back to the Williams Family home on your own or I’ll ’invite’ you back."

Hope Williams was well aware of the threat implied by the word "invite."

Xiao Shi and Nolan quickly stepped forward to guard Hope Williams as Old Master Williams waved his hand, and a group of Family Guards instantly exited the vehicle.

Old Master Williams’s eyes were fixed on Hope Williams, "Bring the young miss back home immediately."

Hope Williams stood there quietly, composed.

Just as the Family Guards were about to confront Xiao Shi and the others, a flurry of hastening footsteps approached, and a man followed by a throng of formidable bodyguards advanced towards them.

"Who do you think you are?" Old Master Williams’s face grew even colder.

"Why force someone who doesn’t want to go back with you?"

A voice tinged with mockery rang out slowly, and a tall, straight figure strode over.

Joseph Sanders stood beside Hope Williams and looked at Old Master Williams, "I was wondering who was making such a big commotion. Turns out to be Old Master Williams."

Old Master Williams’s eyes narrowed, "What does Young Master Sanders mean by this?"

"Here to take someone away."

Joseph Sanders looked at Hope Williams, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face, "Sister-in-law, Brother Waylon must have mentioned me to you, Joseph Sanders."

Hope Williams nodded gracefully, "Young Master Sanders."

"Just call me Joseph. Brother Waylon sent me to pick you up. Let’s go."

Hope Williams nodded slightly.

"Young Master Sanders, what do you mean? Hope Williams is part of my Williams Family; who are you to just take her away?"
