She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 525: Leave Her to Take the Blame

"You... I!" When the slap fell, Maverick Williams instantly regretted it, "Luna..."

Luna Williams’ lips trembled as she covered her face, slowly straightening up, with tears falling heavily, "Grandpa, you actually... hit me!"

"Luna, I..." Maverick Williams was filled with remorse.

Luna Williams had been spoiled by him since she was little, never been hit, never been scolded, not even a harsh word said to her, and today he was so angry that he had struck her.

"Get out... all of you get out! I don’t want to see any of you, I don’t want to see any of you." Luna Williams screamed and roared through her tears, grabbing anything she could and smashing it to the ground.

She was practically mad.

Maverick Williams watched the scene with both distress and helplessness, fearing that Luna Williams would hurt herself. He hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, I’m going, I’m going. Don’t hurt yourself, just calm down a bit."

As Maverick Williams opened the door, he saw Leo Carter standing at the entrance, and Ted Williams who had just arrived was also there.

The three men looked at each other wordlessly.

Clearly they had all heard the conversation inside, the mad bellowing of Luna Williams, which was hard for anyone not to hear.

"Leo, Luna is just too heartbroken."

Maverick Williams did not want Leo Carter to have a bad impression of Luna Williams, so he still spoke out to explain for her.

Leo Carter raised his hand slightly, "Elder Williams, no need to explain."

Luna Williams, lying in her bed, was stunned to see Leo Carter at the door, "Brother Leo, I..."

Leo Carter glanced at Luna Williams, with the disappointment in his eyes speaking volumes, and he said indifferently, "You should rest."

After speaking, he did not walk in but turned and left.

Leo Carter had truly liked Luna Williams before, but his pursuit of perfection made it impossible for him to accept such a sorry state from her.

"Brother Leo, don’t go... please don’t go!"

No matter how much Luna Williams called out to keep him, Leo Carter still left.

Luna Williams curled up on her bed, crying bitterly, "Why do you treat me like this? Why are you doing this to me? Why..."

As Maverick Williams was about to go in and comfort Luna Williams, Ted Williams directly stopped him, "Grandpa, let her think about it on her own."

Ted Williams was not surprised to see Luna Williams become like this.

She had lived too comfortably before, and Maverick Williams had spoiled her too much, causing her to feel that the whole world should revolve around her.

Today she dared to cry and shout at Maverick Williams to get out, because she knew he would never truly abandon her.

Only the beloved dare to be so willful!

Maverick Williams’ mood at this moment was indescribable.

"Go in and talk to her later. We are about to go back to City A," he told Maverick Williams.

Ted Williams raised an eyebrow slightly, "Why? With her current condition, any further upset might be too much..."

Naturally, Ted Williams did not wish for Luna Williams to just return like this; it would be best for her and Hope Williams to die in Emperor Capital and save him the trouble!

"The Lewis Family has already issued me an ultimatum; she has provoked the Lewis Family, and we are on Lewis Family territory. What can I do?" Maverick Williams’ voice was somewhat hoarse with shouting.

"Also, where were you just now? Didn’t you know your sister was in trouble and come to help?"

The anger that had been building for days made Maverick Williams lose all patience.

Ted Williams, as always, kept his calm demeanor, hanging his head and appearing as someone who would not fight back or retort, "Grandpa, I was just dealing with some matters, and I had only just finished."

Maverick Williams had no time to inquire what he had been dealing with, so he simply said, "In half an hour, go and have a good talk with her. After half an hour, make sure she stops making a fuss, and is ready to obediently return to City A with me."

Maverick Williams left the difficult task to Ted Williams.

Ted Williams knew he had no right to refuse and nodded in agreement.

Maverick Williams sat down on a nearby bench with a furrowed brow.

Ted Williams lifted his hand and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his narrow eyes filled with schemes.

Just as Ted Williams opened the door.

"Get out!"

A cup smashed toward him head-on.

Ted Williams did not dodge, and the cup shattered upon his forehead, the blood streaming down instantly.

Seeing this scene, Maverick Williams just paused for a moment, saying nothing.

Ted Williams tightened his grip on the doorknob, the hatred in his eyes roiling before he forcefully suppressed it.

"What are you doing here? To laugh at me?"

Luna Williams was so furious that her chest heaved violently, with no sense of guilt for having injured Ted Williams to the point of bleeding.

Ted Williams’ lips were pressed tightly together, his facial expression revealing none of his emotions at the moment.

Ted Williams casually took a couple of tissues, wiping away the blood that was trickling down from his forehead.

He stood there with downcast eyes, seemingly unfazed.

In response, Luna Williams vented all the rage she had endured onto him. She snorted coldly, "Why are you silent when asked? You’re nothing but an obedient dog that my grandfather has raised over the years. Started feeling angry now, have you?"

Rage churned in the depths of Ted Williams’ eyes.

He lifted his gaze to meet Luna’s, stepping towards her until he stood silently before her.

Luna could only feel waves of murderous intent emanating from the person in front of her.

She instinctively tried to back away...

"What are you doing? You want to hit me now..."

The next second, Ted Williams suddenly reached out to throttle her neck and violently pressed her down onto the bed.

"Hey, cough cough..."

As Luna’s pupils constricted with fear at the thought of screaming, Ted’s hand swiftly covered her mouth.

"Shh...make a sound, and I’ll strangle you to death," he threatened.

Luna felt as though she was suffocating, frantically slapping at Ted’s hand, her eyes locked onto his murderous glare.

She had never seen such a look in his eyes before, as if it didn’t belong to him at all.

But such a gaze at this moment, brought her an unprecedented sense of fear.

She could only nod desperately, assuring him that she would not make a sound.

Seeing her abject and pleading face, Ted couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

"Even an obedient dog will bite when pushed too far. Don’t test my limits!" he warned.

Luna continued nodding desperately.

Her face was swollen and purplish; she was truly on the verge of suffocation.

Only then did Ted find it satisfactory to let her go.

"You... you actually dared to hit..."

"Shut up!"

A look filled with killing intent made Luna’s words stop dead in her throat.

Ted stood up straight and, picking up a fruit knife nearby, he toyed with it and asked icily, "Does the old man want to take you back to A-city?"

Luna, with her neck stiff and body tense, nodded, "...Yeah."

"I have a way for you to get Hope Williams’ bone marrow," he said.

Luna eyed Ted warily, as if the fruit knife in his hand might stab her at any moment, and asked nervously, "What way?" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Kidnap Hope Williams. As far as I know, Waylon Lewis isn’t in Emperor Capital – now is a good opportunity to act."

Luna, hearing this, had a shiver through her pupils, "Kidnap Hope Williams? Are you joking? I have no manpower; how can I kidnap her?"

"I know some mercenaries that might be able to help you," he offered.

Luna was clearly tempted, yet she looked at Ted with suspicion. "Why would you help me?"

This man wanted to kill her just moments ago.

Luna shrank back a little more.

"As you said, you are the sister who grew up with me. If not to help you, should I help Hope Williams?" Ted asked with a smile.

Luna did not question Ted’s statement, and hope rekindled in her eyes.

As Ted watched Luna’s reaction, a cold laugh echoed in the depths of his heart. Of course, he had no intention of helping her. His concern was to avoid any investigation that could trace back to him and Linfook Crown, so he needed a scapegoat.

The perfect patsy was right in front of him – if Luna returned to A-city, the Lewis family would not suspect her.

And in any investigation, if they found him involved, it would be bad.

Luna looked at Ted and said, "But the Lewis family is forcing us out, and Grandpa has already compromised."

At this, Luna felt extremely frustrated.

"That’s simple," he said.

"You have a way..." Luna hadn’t finished her question, when Ted suddenly seized her wrist.

Luna’s face showed panic, "What are you doing?"

"Aren’t you best at self-harming to gain sympathy?"

After he spoke, Ted slashed Luna’s wrist with the knife, causing blood to pour out.

Luna cried out in shock, looking at Ted in disbelief.

He didn’t even blink an eye.

"The elderly lady is the softhearted one; let her plead with Hope Williams," Ted suggested with a smile.

Jade Bell was Hope Williams’ last shred of familial affection for the Williams family.

Ted curled his lips, and took two photos of the weak and self-harming Luna, then sent them to Jade Bell.
