Chapter 601: Suing You
Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Suing You
Harry Williams’ gaze was icy cold.
The Williams Family first abandoned Hope Williams, but when they needed her, they went to any lengths to bring her back—manipulating, coercing, even kidnapping her. All of it just to keep Luna Williams alive, sparing not even Hope’s child in the process.
And yet, in the end, she was deemed the heartless one, accused of neglecting family bonds?
Harry’s eyes grew even colder. "You have no shame, do you?"
Faced with Harry’s repeated cold questioning, Ted Williams’ expression darkened as he barked at the bodyguards, "What are you standing there for?"
The reporters, sensing something unusual, swarmed in relentlessly.
"Can you explain what’s going on here?"
"Is there some hidden truth behind all this?"
"Don’t leave yet—tell us everything!"
"What a scene!"
A crisp, cool voice rang out, drifting lazily into everyone’s ears.
The moment the voice was heard, most of the people at the scene fell silent.
Hope Williams, wearing a caramel-colored coat with her hands in its pockets, walked forward unhurriedly, her steps calm and steady.
Beside her was a silver-haired man with an imposing presence. His face was expressionless, his striking features emanating a constant sense of frostiness.
Behind them trailed two burly, towering bodyguards—Xiao Shi and Wesley Ruiz.
Hope stopped at the side of the steps and climbed onto the stage.
Seeing it was Hope, someone in the crowd muttered, "How does she still dare show her face?"
Hope paused for a moment, her gaze zeroing in on the speaker. She smiled faintly. "Why wouldn’t I dare? Did I break some heavenly law?"
The person hesitated, clamming up and pressing their lips tightly together.
Hope resumed walking, finally standing still in front of Luna and Ted Williams.
Luna’s face turned tense, and Ted’s expression subtly shifted as well.
"It’s been a while, hasn’t it?" Hope said, directing her words at Ted.
Truth be told, it had been some time since she’d arrived in A City, yet she had not encountered Ted Williams even once.
This was a man who not only liked hiding behind others but also seemed to enjoy hiding himself.
Ted’s narrow eyes narrowed further, the sharpness within them undisguised.
The reporters, recovering their wits, immediately surged forward, raising microphones high as they questioned:
"Miss Williams, is what Second Miss Williams just said all true?"
"Miss Williams, do you have any rebuttals to what Second Miss Williams claimed? Or are you here to confess your wrongs?"
Hope stared quietly at Luna, her lips curving faintly in what could only be called a mocking smile.
"Confess? I didn’t do it. Why should I confess?"
This single line stirred the crowd into an uproar.
"So, does this mean Miss Williams is denying Second Miss Williams’ statements?"
"Of course."
The reporters continued peppering her with questions, and one female reporter’s sharp voice rang out distinctly over the others. "Since Miss Williams claims she’s innocent, could she present evidence to prove it?"
"I didn’t do it. When I entered the room, Old Lady Williams was already lying on the ground, unconscious."
The female reporter let out a cold laugh. "Is that your so-called evidence? Just your word?"
Hope’s expression remained unchanged. She nodded slightly and fired back, "Did she present any evidence for what she just said?"
"Second Miss Williams said she saw with her own eyes that you pushed Old Lady Williams in the room."
Hope replied, "And what else?"
"...That’s all!"
The crowd exchanged uneasy glances.
Hope curled her lips into a smile. "Hmm, so it’s all just words. Why is it, then, that her words are treated as evidence and mine aren’t? Is this discrimination?"
The crowd snapped back to attention, their expressions shifting dramatically. Indeed, Luna hadn’t provided any substantial evidence; it was all based on her claims of having witnessed the act.
"And as for this reporter here, your ability to stir the narrative is quite notable. Whoever’s behind you must’ve paid you a fair sum."
The bespectacled young female reporter’s face went pale. Meeting Hope’s clear, penetrating gaze, she subconsciously dodged her eyes."
"Don’t slander me! There’s no one behind me. I’m just reporting the facts."
"Oh." Hope’s tone was light and dismissive as she straightened her back, no longer sparing the reporter another glance.
The female reporter, however, grew flustered, her nerves rattled as the glances her colleagues threw her became increasingly odd.
Hope turned back to look at Luna, whose eyes flickered with panic. Her pupils trembled visibly in her sockets.
"What are you staring at me like that for, sister? Don’t blame me for exposing you. I had no choice—what you did was so heinous and against all reason—it demanded exposure," Luna stammered, attempting to defend herself.
Hope said nothing. The black-suited lawyer behind her stepped forward, fixing Luna with a stern gaze. "Second Miss Williams, regarding your earlier statements—beyond claiming to have personally witnessed Miss Williams pushing someone, do you have any other substantial evidence?"
Luna bit her lip hard.
Seeing her silence, the lawyer continued, "Alright, it seems there is none. Based on your earlier statements, your account at the police station differs entirely."
The lawyer retrieved a document from his briefcase, "This is the transcript we obtained from the police station. At the station, you explicitly said you didn’t witness anything firsthand. Furthermore, the police determined that Miss Williams, during the ten minutes she was in the Williams Family residence, did not have the time to commit the crime. Their investigation also concluded that Miss Williams and Old Lady Williams shared a good relationship, with no existing conflicts or motive for harm. Based on the current circumstances, your statements today already constitute slander. Miss Williams has decided to press charges against you."
The crowd erupted into chaos.
Luna’s expression tightened fiercely. "No... don’t!"
Ted Williams cast a chilling glare at Luna, realizing she hadn’t told him about what she had revealed at the police station.
Luna clenched her teeth in frustration, mustering the courage to glare back at Ted. Wasn’t it he who dragged her into this mess? And now he blamed her?
"Oh, and wasn’t it mentioned earlier that I refused to save you, acting indifferent to family?" Hope said, her gaze now shifting to the audience. "She understates it. It’s not indifference I feel toward her—it’s hatred."
The crowd watched Hope in stunned silence.
Luna trembled violently, her teeth clenched as she stared at Hope, utterly at a loss as to what she might reveal next.
"I’m pregnant. To save her, I would have to abort my child. Why would I agree to that? During her leukemia diagnosis, she even traveled to Emperor Capital, bribing a former tutor from my family to drug me with abortion pills. She thought that as long as I lost the baby, she could use my body to save herself. There is no familial bond between us. I’m not a Holy Mother, and I can’t bear to sacrifice my child to save her. Her actions against me and my child are why I hate her so deeply."
Luna’s entire body shook as if on the verge of collapse.
Hope’s calm voice continued. "If you doubt me, feel free to investigate the truth."
After finishing, Hope turned to Ted and Luna. "Any other dirt you want to throw at me? Don’t hold back."
"..."
Seeing their silence, Hope smiled slightly and nodded. "It seems not. Well then, I’ll take my leave."
Hope turned to walk away. Ted gave several reporters a pointed look.
The female reporter nodded and raised her voice sharply. "Miss Williams, may I ask—was it you who personally sent your grandfather to prison?"
