She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 545: Making Final Arrangements

"Grandpa, have you forgotten? Back in City A, you kidnapped Hope Williams’ child and threatened her. To ensure nothing went wrong, you ordered me to contact mercenaries, so is it strange that I know two of the mercenary leaders?" Ted Williams spoke calmly, without showing the slightest sign of guilt.

Maverick Williams frowned, clearly displeased, "Then why did you introduce these mercenaries to your sister? You’re harming her!"

"She was the one crying and begging to kidnap Hope Williams to harvest her bone marrow. I had no choice." Ted’s voice carried a tinge of helplessness, successfully shifting the responsibility of the matter solely onto providing the introduction, while completely distancing himself from everything else.

Maverick Williams grew increasingly annoyed, "Then why didn’t those mercenaries listen to Luna and instead, wanted to kill Hope Williams?"

Ted Williams smiled nonchalantly, "Grandpa, that I know even less about. The person who hired them was her, not me. How would I know why that happened?"

His answer was flawless, not giving anyone a chance to fault him.

Maverick Williams clenched his back teeth in anger and said no more. At this moment, two men came with documents and stood in front of Maverick Williams, respectfully saying, "Chairman."

One of them was named Jonathan River, Maverick Williams’ most capable assistant, and the other was Easton Reed, a lawyer.

Ted Williams eyed them, pondering in his mind.

The only reason Maverick Williams would call them over at this time was to settle the affairs of the group and the shares he held since he was about to go to prison on behalf of Luna Williams.

"Hmm." With a sigh, Maverick Williams stood up, calling for Jade Bell and deliberately excluding Ted Williams.

Ted Williams knew that his grandfather had begun to harbor suspicions against him.

Jade Bell, puzzled, looked at Maverick Williams, "What are you doing?"

Assistant River handed a document to Jade Bell, "Madame."

"What? What is this?"

Maverick Williams’ hoarse voice replied, "My twenty percent shareholding."

"For me?" Jade Bell was incredulous.

Maverick Williams shook his head, "No, you give it to Hope Williams."

Now, besides leaving his shares and the group to Hope Williams, he had no other choice.

Luna Williams was at death’s door, Ted Williams was eagerly watching, and he was about to go to prison himself. What else could he do?

"I know you’ve always wanted Hope Williams to inherit the group. Among these three, she really is the most suitable," Maverick Williams sighed.

"Help me persuade her to take the shares and the group. If Luna survives, I have prepared a dowry for her. When Luna gets married, help me give it to her."

Jade Bell, looking at Maverick Williams as if he were settling his affairs, was flustered.

"What’s going on? What happened? You?"

"Waylon Lewis is sending Luna to prison. To save her, I’m trading myself for her freedom, so I don’t have much time left now," Maverick Williams explained.

Jade Bell trembled violently, "I... I’ll go plead with Little Hope..."

"Don’t bother," Maverick Williams held onto Jade Bell, "It’s no use, don’t waste your efforts."

"How can it be useless? Little Hope wouldn’t be so heartless," Jade Bell’s eyes welled up with tears.

Her granddaughter close to death, her husband going to prison—her family was falling apart. How could she accept this?

Maverick Williams reached out to wipe Jade Bell’s tears, "Don’t cry, let me finish. Under no circumstances can you let these shares fall into Ted Williams’ hands. Whether they end up with Hope Williams or Luna, make sure Ted doesn’t get them."

Jade Bell nodded through her tears.

"Also, tell Hope Williams that the two assassins who came to kill her in City A were truly not sent by me. She must be very wary of Ted Williams."

Jade Bell’s voice shook, "Not you?"

"It really wasn’t me! At the time Luna was injured, and you wanted to divorce me, how could I have had the mind to send a hitman to kill her? Moreover, I needed her bone marrow, she is my granddaughter after all, why would I want to kill her? Think about it carefully, there are many clues in this."

"Then... who was it?"

"I don’t know, but we must pay attention to Ted Williams. He looks gentle and harmless, but his heart is full of ambition." Maverick Williams reiterated his instruction.

Jade Bell nodded vigorously.

"After I go in, take Luna back to City A, tell her that her grandfather has done his best, and from now on, it’s up to her own fate." Maverick Williams spoke with a desolate tone.

"And you should also take good care of yourself. Put your own well-being first, and don’t plead for me in front of Little Hope. She still has feelings for you and won’t make things difficult for you."

Maverick Williams tiredly pinched the bridge of his nose.

It had still come to this step after all, after much turmoil, it still came to this step.

A bitter sorrow was immutable in the depths of Maverick Williams’s eyes.

In his life, he had done too many wrong things. Toward Maya Williams and Hope Williams, he harbored too much guilt and remorse, perhaps it was time for him to atone.

After settling everything, as Jade Bell saw Maverick Williams’s receding figure growing distant, she covered her mouth, weeping silently.

Ted Williams’s gaze shifted, he had intended to approach Jade Bell, but due to Maverick Williams’s words, Jade Bell was particularly wary of Ted.

She put the shares and some documents into her bag and, wiping her tears, said, "You stay here with Luna. I have something to take care of and will be back soon."

After saying that, Jade Bell left.

Ted Williams’s eyes narrowed, and he began to contemplate.

Assistant Jonathan River was about to follow her but was held back by Ted Williams, "Wait a moment."

Jonathan River, "Young Master, is there anything else?"

"What exactly did Grandpa say just now?"

"This..." Jonathan hesitated and simply chose not to continue speaking.

Ted Williams sneered coldly, "Now that the old man has gone in, the group is without a leader, and someone must succeed him. But at the moment, Luna Williams is still lying in the hospital bed, not knowing how much longer she will live. Assistant River, in the future, you will have to decide who to rely on in the group, and you better think carefully so you don’t lose your position later on."

Ted Williams’s words were an obvious blatant warning.

After hearing what Ted Williams said, a flicker passed through Jonathan River’s eyes.

"Assistant River, you are a smart man, don’t make any foolish moves."

Jonathan got the message, moved a bit closer to Ted Williams, and whispered, "The old man gave the shares to the old lady, directing her to give them to a woman named Hope Williams."

"Is that all?"

Jonathan still had some conscience left, knowing that this was enough, he did not continue with more details, but nodded, "That’s all."

"Alright, I got it."

Ted Williams’s eyes narrowed, filled with ruthlessness. As expected, even if the old man was to hand over the group to Hope Williams, he would never give it to him.

Damnable.

He had to find a way to get the shares from Jade Bell’s hands.

On Hope Williams’s side.

Hope Williams had not yet woken up, and Waylon Lewis sat quietly beside her hospital bed, the two little ones also stood there, their eyes rimmed red, silently watching Mommy.

Wanting to cry, yet not daring to, afraid to disturb Mommy, they forcibly held back.
