Chapter 626: Chapter 626 Settling Accounts One by One

Harry Williams was forced out by Ted Williams, and as soon as he stepped outside, he angrily shook off Ted’s hand.

Ted glared back at Harry, his face also full of fury. "What are you doing? Are you really planning to betray your own brother for Hope?"

Harry fixed his gaze on Ted. "Yes, my own brother! It’s precisely because you are my brother that I’ve tried to persuade you time and time again. But you and Luna Williams have done nothing but immoral deeds. You two are birds of a feather."

"In three days, the Williams Clan is holding a stockholders’ meeting. Hope is already gathering shares to take control of the company. If I stop now, do you think she’ll spare me at the meeting?"

Harry pressed his thin lips together tightly. "If you two didn’t push people to the brink, would we even be in this kill-or-be-killed situation right now?"

Ted let out a heavy snort. "If you’re not getting involved, then don’t meddle. The ultimate outcome has nothing to do with you."

"If you weren’t my brother, I wouldn’t care what happened to you."

The elevator arrived at the underground parking lot. Harry turned and walked away without another word.

Ted watched Harry’s retreating figure, his anger boiling over. He didn’t even want to deal with him anymore.

Ted walked toward his car, only to see Blade River hurrying in his direction.

"Why are you here?"

Ted, his face still dark with anger, reached his car and pulled open the door.

"Master Williams, there’s news again from Country Y."

Ted furrowed his brows. "What news?"

"While in Country Y, Hope met with Lin Fengmian!"

Ted slammed the car door shut with a force that made eardrums throb from the noise.

"This happened yesterday—why am I only hearing about it now? I’ve stationed so many people around her, and they’re all useless?"

To keep track of Hope Williams’ every move, Ted had planted numerous operatives in her midst, ensuring he’d know about everything immediately.

Hope was too intelligent and cunning—he couldn’t afford to underestimate her.

Yet these incompetent fools only brought yesterday’s news today.

Ted’s rage was uncontrollable.

Blade River lowered his head submissively. He immediately explained, "At the time, the focus was entirely on the casino. The agents monitoring Hope didn’t think it was a big deal and didn’t report it. It was only after you ordered a detailed investigation that this information was forwarded up."

Ted’s expression grew even darker. He suppressed his fury and asked through gritted teeth, "What did Hope talk about with Lin Fengmian?"

Blade River wore a pained expression. "It was a quiet café with few people, and Hope had several bodyguards with her at all times. Our people were worried about being discovered and couldn’t get close, so... we only know that the two of them met."

Before Blade River even finished speaking, Ted kicked him in frustration. What was the point of saying so much when there wasn’t a single useful detail?

"Are all of you useless?"

Ted was furious to the brink of exploding. Everyone seemed to exist just to irritate him.

"Go check the surveillance footage. I want to know exactly what they talked about."

Hope had been collecting evidence of his past crimes. Meeting with Lin Fengmian couldn’t be a good sign.

A wave of intense unease surged in Ted’s heart. The clarity of this feeling only made him more anxious.

Blade River hesitated, then still spoke with a troubled look on his face. "The surveillance footage has already been checked. It seems she was prepared; there’s nothing of value to be found."

Ted grabbed Blade River by the collar and snarled through clenched teeth, "Then capture Lin Fengmian and bring him to me! I don’t care how you do it—within a day, I must know what he and Hope discussed!"

"Understood, I’ll handle it right away."

"Get out!" Ted barked, suppressing the fire in his chest.

He’d already come this far. Right or wrong, it didn’t matter anymore—there was no turning back. One single mistake, and he’d fall from heaven straight into the abyss.

And now, there was another problem.

Jade Bell had woken up. The worst-case scenario would be her transferring her 20% shares to Hope. If that happened, he’d have no leverage left to compete with her.

He had to find a way to wrest those shares from Jade’s hands.

Ted’s narrow eyes narrowed further as his thoughts turned. Hope would definitely continue buying up shares—he had to act first.

If his guess was correct, Hope’s next target would be the Parker Clan. Old Master Parker had originally bought into the Williams Clan, holding 10% of their shares at the time, before transferring them to his youngest son, Nathan Parker.

Later, Nathan Parker founded Marine Group, building a solid reputation. But none of that was important.

The key thing was, Ted remembered that Nathan Parker doted on his youngest daughter, Sophie Zhou, and Sophie had plenty of unresolved grudges with Hope.

Ted gripped his car key tightly. A sly smile curled his lips as his mood improved slightly. He got into the car and drove away.

Hope needed to bring Luke and Willow home first. While in the car, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and smiled faintly.

"Why are you smiling so much, sis?"

Hope chuckled. "Asher Ross just transferred 25 billion into my account."

After all, Asher had to maintain his reputation in the circle. Owning casinos in Country Y and with all his assets tied up, he couldn’t simply pack up and leave, nor did he want to gain the reputation of a fraudster. He had no choice but to pay up.

billion times the original debt—if he didn’t pay quickly, the accrued interest alone would ruin him.

Wyatt Lewis couldn’t help but exclaim, "Holy crap!" He admired her more and more every time, unable to hold back his awe. "Sis, please, adopt me."

Hope glanced at him and shook her head with a laugh. "Better ask your brother if he agrees first."

The image of his brother’s stoic face and penetrating gaze suddenly flashed in Wyatt’s mind, and he shuddered.

"Kidding, kidding! Don’t tell my brother I said that."

Hope raised her eyebrows but didn’t stop smiling.

"By the way, what’s the situation with the driver?"

Wyatt, suddenly reminded, filled Hope in. "The driver didn’t die, and there’s no sign of tampering with the car. But alcohol was found in his bloodstream, and no large transfers were seen in his accounts."

Hope’s expression darkened. "So if no further evidence emerges, this incident will be ruled as an accident caused by drunk driving. Ted Williams has really covered his tracks well."

"What about the driver’s family? Any contact?"

Wyatt replied, "He only has a ten-year-old daughter. We’re looking for her, but there’s no news yet."

Hope sighed. "I see."

As long as there’s a lead, she was determined to follow it through.

The debt Ted Williams owed—Hope would make sure every single penny was accounted for.
