Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Disregarding Family Ties
Luna Williams stood on the hastily erected platform, her eyes red and swollen as tears streamed down unchecked.
That tearful, pitiful appearance could evoke sympathy from anyone.
Hope Williams sat in the car, choosing not to step out immediately.
Luna was surrounded by a crowd of reporters, who seemed like paragons of justice, fervently chasing the truth, their microphones jostling to reach her.
"Second Miss Williams, is this matter true? Do you have any conclusive evidence to prove that Miss Williams is attempting to harm Old Lady Williams?"
Luna sniffled and answered, "I already said it—my evidence is that I witnessed it myself. And it’s not just me, plenty of servants at home saw it too. At the time, the room had only her and my grandmother, and my grandmother was lying on the floor, bleeding profusely."
"Then may I ask, Second Miss Williams, what would Miss Williams’ motive be? Do you know why she would commit such an act?"
Luna wiped her tears and shook her head, "I don’t know. Perhaps they quarreled, but at that time, it was only the two of them in the room. No one knows why this happened."
Another reporter spoke up, "Second Miss Williams, rumors have circulated that you and Miss Williams were not on good terms because when you were suffering from leukemia, Miss Williams refused to donate marrow to save you. Is that true?"
Facing this question, Luna paused, a flicker of shock flashing through her eyes. Very few people knew about this matter, and it had never been disclosed to the public. How did this reporter know?
Luna bit her lip and glanced up toward the second floor, where a pair of eyes were fixed on her.
The man stood silently, dressed sharply in a suit, his angular gaze beneath golden-rimmed glasses warning her.
It was that bastard Ted Williams!
Suddenly, Luna was no longer surprised. Clearly, some of these reporters were deliberately planted by him—their pointed and confrontational questions were obvious.
And, of course, they were aimed at Hope!
Luna’s hands clenched instinctively by her sides. That bastard had cornered her, forcing her to attend this press conference and had even practically invited every media outlet.
She was still hiding Jade Bell’s twenty percent shares. How could she dare to reveal them?
Now that this matter had gone public, if she ever attempted to produce those twenty percent shares, she’d face countless suspicions.
Dammit!
When Luna zoned out and failed to answer, the female reporter pressed on, her questions relentless and airtight.
"Second Miss Williams, can you address our questions? Is Miss Williams truly as ruthless and heartless as rumors suggest, indifferent to familial ties?"
After weighing her thoughts, Luna could only nod. Under the circumstances, how could she admit that Hope was pregnant, that she and her grandfather repeatedly schemed to harm Hope’s child, angering her to the point of indifference?
Luna excelled at playing the victim. She bit her lower lip and nodded, though she remained silent, her gesture serving as unspoken confirmation.
The tears streaming endlessly down her face conveyed her grievances louder than words.
Her response incited an uproar among the crowd.
"Letting her own sister die from a life-threatening illness instead of saving her? Too vicious! A heartless person like that committing harm to her own grandmother wouldn’t be surprising!"
"This really happened?! Why would Miss Williams refuse to save her own sister? Did she just leave the Second Miss to die? There’s no cruelty like this!"
At this moment, the same female reporter seized the opportunity, continuing relentlessly, "I also heard that Miss Williams didn’t want to return to the Williams Family at all and has long sought to sever ties with them—is this true?"
The microphone was once again pushed toward Luna’s face.
Luna gazed at the female reporter—the questions were sharp and loaded with accusations, a clear attempt to smear Hope.
The reporter, noticing Luna’s hesitation, subtly gestured toward her multiple times.
Luna glanced once more at Ted, whose threatening gaze bore down on her, and bowed her head before nodding to the camera.
"Yes, she doesn’t care to come back to the family. Our family has always felt guilty and tried our best to make amends, but my sister consistently rejects our efforts. Perhaps she thinks little of us now, especially since she’s become the Lewis Family’s Young Madam."
As soon as she finished speaking, another wave of heated discussions erupted.
"Disgusting. She climbs high and then abandons her own family. What’s so great about her being so arrogant?"
"Abandon her sister in dire need, disregard her family—why bother bringing her back? It’s just asking for trouble."
"Stop trying to make amends. She’s already looking down on everyone. Let her stay with the Lewis Family. Let’s see if they’ll even respect her without the title of Miss Williams."
"Exactly—well said! People like her, let’s see who’ll think highly of her!"
As the scorn toward Hope intensified, Luna’s initial guilt gave way to a surge of satisfaction.
Emily Parker and Sophie Zhou shared in the delight, their faces lit up with triumphant smiles.
"Auntie, the drama in the Williams Family truly is riveting."
"Isn’t it? Endless internal strife. It’s hilarious!"
Suddenly, an entirely different voice rang out, "What nonsense are you all spouting?"
The crowd turned toward the source of the voice and saw Harry Williams.
Harry looked like he’d just woken up and rushed over; his golden hair was slightly unkempt, and he had casually thrown on a coat, anger evident in every step.
Yet despite his disheveled appearance, his strikingly handsome features caused several fangirls in the crowd to scream in delight.
Upon seeing Harry walking toward her, Luna’s heart jolted.
Ted hadn’t expected Harry to show up either. He signaled Blade River with a look, and Blade immediately rushed forward with his men.
After some thought, Ted decided to head down as well.
"Why are you here?" Luna asked, startled, looking at Harry.
"Why are you still here slandering Cousin Hope?" Harry demanded loudly.
The smell of alcohol clung to him, and he’d clearly been drinking. Coupled with his vehement accusations, this version of Harry was starkly different from his usual demeanor, scaring Luna into a cold sweat.
The audience, too, overheard Harry’s accusations against Luna and began murmuring in confusion.
"Slander? What does he mean? Could Second Miss Williams have been lying about everything she just said?" Reporters wouldn’t miss the chance to probe further.
"That’s not true," Luna retorted loudly.
Ted strode onto the stage with his men, initially reluctant to intervene but fearing Harry might lose control and ruin his plans.
Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward to restrain Harry.
"You’ve had too much to drink. Go rest," Ted said in a low, tense voice filled with anger.
With a brief glance at Ted, Harry responded, "Fuck you."
Ted froze in shock for a moment before his brows furrowed in frustration. Gesturing to the bodyguards, he ordered, "Second Young Master is drunk. Take him away to rest."
