She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Simply Stunning

Hope Williams paused for two seconds and sighed softly, her heart filled with indescribable complexity.

Aurora Wood saw Hope Williams and immediately waved at her, prompting Hope to walk towards her.

As Hope moved, many eyes followed her without wanting to look away.

Joy Ward clenched her fists tightly, envious as the attention she had garnered shifted towards Hope.

Why was it that wherever Hope appeared, she seemed to completely overshadow her?

When two beauties wearing similarly styled and colored dresses appeared at the same party, it was natural for people to compare them with critical eyes.

The gazes then returned to Joy Ward, and no matter what the comparison, Hope Williams completely outshone her.

It wasn’t the dresses that made the difference but the women wearing them. Hope’s dress would not have looked as stunning on anyone else as it did on her.

Her enchanting red dress complemented the vast sea of red roses at the center of the venue.

Words like breathtaking and radiant were insufficient to describe her allure.

But that striking red dress…

Knowing it was someone else’s birthday party, guests usually wouldn’t choose to wear bright red so as not to upstage the host.

People tacitly understood and shifted their gaze towards Hope, their brows furrowing slightly at the impropriety of her dress.

“Hope, you look absolutely gorgeous today,” Aurora Wood exclaimed, thinking she would surely fall for Hope if she were a man.

Confident, beautiful, capable, and radiant – who wouldn’t love a woman like that?

“Don’t flatter me too much, or I’ll get carried away,” Hope Williams replied with a light laugh.

“By the way, what’s going on today? We thought we went to the wrong place. After asking the staff several times, we were finally reassured that your birthday party was indeed here. This is way too lavish! I might actually believe you’re a princess trying out life as a commoner.”

Several colleagues nodded in agreement, and Hope pressed her lips together, a faint smile playing on her lips, “It’s a long story; I’ll explain later.”

“Alright then, you’re the star tonight and must be very busy. Don’t worry about us; go attend to your guests,” Aurora said, acknowledging the grand scale of Hope’s birthday celebration was bound to keep her occupied.

Hope Williams had intended to find a quiet place to call Waylon Lewis, but then she looked up and saw Wyatt Lewis approaching.

The surprise in Wyatt’s expression upon seeing Hope’s outfit was evident, “Damn, sister-in-law, you look stunning. You’re definitely the most beautiful woman in the world.”

“Cut it out,” Hope responded as she elegantly sipped from her glass, and something made her turn her head to gaze at Wyatt.

Caught off guard by her stare, Wyatt Lewis tugged at his lip, “Uh… sister-in-law, why are you looking at me like that?”

Hope laughed softly, “Tell me, what exactly is your brother up to?”

Change his ways?

Almost a second after Hope asked, Wyatt answered seriously, “My brother has long been preparing for this birthday of yours. Initially, the setup wasn’t like this. He wanted to surprise you with something private, just the two of you. But then you wanted to invite your colleagues, so he had to reluctantly agree in order to give you the freedom you wanted.

Just at noon, someone leaked information that the Lewis Clan’s CEO was hosting a lavish birthday party here, ensuring everyone knew my brother would be present, drawn by his repute, though I hadn’t expected so many would come. Look at all those gifts…”

Hope’s gaze followed Wyatt’s pointing to a mountain of elegantly wrapped gift boxes, with hotel staff busily moving them to an empty parlor.

Hope was astonished for a moment.

“These people really splurged to attend this event, my brother would feel terrible if he had missed it,” Wyatt said, not expecting such an extravagant celebration, comparable to their grandfather’s spectacular 70th birthday party.

Hope paused briefly, surprised yet her face not completely betraying her emotions, though the complexity in her eyes was evident.

“Do you think your brother loves me?”

Waylon caught off guard!

Hope Williams sipped her red wine while Wyatt took those seconds to think, but unable to be sure, only responded, “Sister-in-law, you should ask my brother directly.”

“Hmm.”

Hope had only been asking, not really expecting Wyatt to know.

After all, she still couldn’t comprehend what that man was really thinking.

Hope set down her wine glass, fixing her gaze on a woman approaching slowly, and smirked, “Trouble is coming.”

Following Hope’s line of sight, Wyatt noticed Joy Ward dressed in bright red, his brow furrowing involuntarily.

“Miss Williams,” Joy Ward greeted Hope with a feigned gentle smile, causing a wave of revulsion in Hope.

Hope wasn’t surprised by Joy Ward’s presence.

Her intentions were clear to any discerning eye, though Hope truly didn’t wish to engage.

But as Joy, like an indestructible pest, kept provoking her, Hope felt thoroughly vexed.

“Miss Williams…” Joy’s face stiffened, a touch of embarrassment crossing her artificially pleasant expression.

Hope coolly swept her gaze over Joy and coldly ignored her, turning away.

Wyatt raised his eyebrows slightly, casting a disdainful glance at Joy and chuckled disdainfully, following Hope’s lead to walk away.

That scornful laugh pierced Joy Ward’s heart more deeply than Hope’s disregard, flooding her with an intense feeling of humiliation; she gritted her teeth and signaled Valentina River.

Seizing the moment, Valentina approached with a glass in hand, “Miss Williams, regardless of any past misunderstandings, I hope we can turn our swords into plowshares.

Considering we both work at the same hospital, it’s unpleasant to always be at odds. Miss Williams, let me offer you a toast. Let’s put any past grievances behind us.”
