She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Being Played

Hope Williams glanced at Valentina River opposite her, a delicate eyebrow raised, and her gaze swept over the red wine glass in front of her before settling on Joy Ward behind her.

She slightly curved her lips.

Some people always love to write their nefarious deeds all over their faces, naively thinking others can’t see through them.

Hope Williams’s lips curled imperceptibly as she reached for a wine glass nearby and slowly extended it toward Valentina River’s glass.

A triumphant smile flashed across Valentina River’s eyes.

Joy Ward watched, seeing victory within reach…

“Clang.” The light collision of glass sounded.

Valentina River’s glass tilted sharply, and the liquid inside poured towards Hope Williams’ dress.

“Careful…”

Her intent was too obvious. These women’s petty games were so transparent that even Wyatt Lewis, a man, could immediately sense something was amiss.

Hope Williams smiled calmly, her lips curved as she raised her hand and with a “smack,” the glasses collided, sending her own red wine splashing all over Valentina River.

Valentina River stared at Hope Williams, too stunned to react.

Looking down at her dress stained in splotches, she couldn’t help but start trembling the next moment.

Valentina River, “You, you, ah…”

Hope Williams casually rubbed her ear.

“Sorry, my hand slipped. I didn’t mean it. Are you okay?” Hope Williams asked innocently as she approached.

“Look at me, too careless. How about this, I’ll compensate for Miss River’s dress, you should go take care of it.”

Valentina River saw the smiling look in Hope Williams’ eyes and felt it was nothing but provocation. She was on the verge of exploding.

This bitch! She had clearly done it on purpose and still had the audacity to pretend it was an accident. Bitch, bitch!

Rage surged from the bottom of Valentina River’s heart, she clenched her teeth and glared furiously at Hope Williams.

Hope Williams indifferently withdrew her gaze, simply turning the tables using their own tactics, and they couldn’t handle it.

Hope Williams, “You, you bitch! Shameless! You did it on purpose, you meant to humiliate me.” Valentina River shrieked as she snatched a red wine glass from a server’s tray and violently aimed to throw it at Hope Williams.

Suddenly, her wrist stiffened, held in mid-air by a firm grip. Valentina River looked up in horror.

“What are you trying to do?” Wyatt Lewis’ handsome face was emotionless, but his voice was utterly cold.

“Wy… Young Master Lewis…”

Valentina River’s movements were still frozen in place, her eyeballs trembling in their sockets.

Wyatt Lewis’s previous frivolous and unconcerned demeanor vanished, replaced by a chilling sternness that was truly frightening.

Valentina River’s wrist trembled as she cast a pleading look towards Joy Ward. With gritted teeth and cursing inwardly at the fool, Joy Ward put on a helpless, weak face and stepped forward. “Young Master, please let go of Valentina first. It was just a little misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?”

Wyatt Lewis coldly released Valentina River’s hand.

He frowned, meticulously wiping his slender fingers with a couple of tissues, as if he had touched something dirty.

Joy Ward harshly pulled the stunned Valentina River behind her.

The idiot was useless in achieving anything but excelled in messing up; even a little thing couldn’t be handled well without getting into a mess with Hope Williams, now continuously falling into Hope Williams’ traps.

Wyatt Lewis’s penetrating gaze glanced at Joy Ward before turning towards Hope Williams.

“Sister-in-law, are you alright?”

“These little tricks of theirs are still seen through.”

Joy Ward glared at Hope Williams.

So this bitch had realized what they were up to from the start; she had seen right through them.

They paraded around her like clowns, looking utterly ridiculous.

This bitch deserved to die.

If it weren’t for the inappropriateness of causing a scene right now, Joy Ward really wanted to tear this bitch apart.

Considering the many people present, Joy Ward forced a smile, “Valentina, you should go and take care of it first. After all, Miss Williams didn’t do it on purpose.”

Hearing Joy Ward’s words, Valentina River couldn’t help but stamp her foot in anger. What about Hope Williams not doing it on purpose—if she stood where she stood, she wouldn’t feel the pain. “She did it on purpose! She spilled the wine on me intentionally. She just wants to humiliate me, this bitch!”

Upon hearing this, Hope Williams’ eyebrows lifted slightly, her mouth forming a cold curve as she feigned weakness. “Miss River, why would you wrongly accuse me? I truly didn’t mean it. If you want to splash it back, just splash it back then.”

Hearing what Hope Williams had said, Valentina River’s anger was uncontrollable.

What was this woman playing at?

“Hope Williams, you—you, I…” Valentina River looked around for a wine glass, nearly driven mad by anger. Why did such a despicable person like Hope Williams exist?

“Seriously? Isn’t that a bit too much? It’s not like she did it on purpose, and she even apologized, offering compensation. Her attitude was quite good, even when she got cursed out a few times, she didn’t get angry. Now she’s actually looking for a wine glass to throw back, isn’t that petty?”

“Exactly, that’s way too much. And she keeps calling her a ‘slut,’ showing no manners or upbringing at all.”

“It’s outrageous. She apologized already, doesn’t she know the saying ‘to spare someone when you have the advantage’?”

Bystanders tend to side with the perceived underdog by habit.

Although Valentina had been the one splashed, she didn’t garner any sympathy from anyone; her repeated verbal abuse of Hope Williams appeared exceptionally crude and unreasonable to onlookers.

Meanwhile, Hope Williams, who seemed fragile, was perceived as the real victim.

These were the usual tactics employed by both women.

Joy Ward, who found Hope Williams’s words all too familiar, felt like her teeth were on the verge of shattering.

She truly despised Hope Williams.

She was using their own methods against them, making them taste their own medicine.

This woman wasn’t as harmless as she appeared; her cunning and depth were far from ordinary.

That fool Valentina could easily be played dead by her.

Joy Ward didn’t want to lose face alongside Valentina. She yanked Valentina back, wearing a displeased expression and said, “Enough, Valentina. Stop being unreasonable. Miss Williams has apologized to you; let’s end this matter here.”

Joy Ward’s words completely infuriated Valentina River, who had been restraining her anger, and she lashed out directly at Joy Ward, “Easy for you to say, you try to use me for your scheme every day, and that’s enough, but now you’re playing the good person here, isn’t that just pathetic?”

Joy’s face turned pale; she had never expected Valentina, who always acquiesced to her, to talk to her like this.

The onlooking crowd immediately understood and wore knowing expressions.

So, that was the story!

The constant whispered comments entered Joy Ward’s ears, making her feel extremely humiliated. She closed her eyes tightly and gnashed her teeth, “Shut up, what nonsense are you spouting? You’re drunk, I’ll take you down to rest.”

“I’m not drunk, let go of me, you are both sluts, sluts!”

Valentina’s angry words were particularly grating.

Joy Ward felt so angry she could faint.

“Stupid bitches…” Wyatt Lewis couldn’t help but laugh at the scene. It was the epitome of “a dog-eat-dog situation.”

Wyatt couldn’t be bothered to watch these two fools self-destruct.

Facing such lackeys, Wyatt felt Hope Williams could easily crush them single-handedly.

That’s why his brother told him to come early to help Hope Williams, in case she was bullied – his worries had been completely unnecessary.

Since he wasn’t needed, he should find something fun to cleanse his spirit.

“Sister-in-law, did you bring the two little ones out today?” Wyatt Lewis rubbed his hands in anticipation.

Hope Williams smiled slightly, “I did.”

“Where are they, where are they?” Wyatt Lewis really missed those two cuddly little ones, and he was so eager to hear them call him Uncle, which would be absolutely adorable.

“I don’t know where they’ve run off to play. Do you need them for something?”

“To play, I want to play with them.”

Could a twenty-something-year-old play with five-year-old kids?

Hope Williams glanced up and examined Wyatt Lewis, “They’re playing in the mud, you gonna join them?”

“Why not?”

Playing in the mud? That was what he loved most!

Hope Williams was amused by his enthusiasm, “Alright, I’m not sure where they’ve gone off to; you might need to look for them.”

“Got it.”

At this moment, the two little treasures, who were supposed to be playing in the mud, had already taken over the security room of the Emperor Perry Hotel…

Luke’s keen gaze was fixed on the monitors, his eyes locked on his targets as the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Hmm!

It looked like someone was in for some trouble!
