Chapter 224 -224: Courting Death
“Okay, just this once, and no more.”
Hope Williams blinked gently, “Then let’s go home.”
Waylon Lewis kissed her forehead before letting her go, and took her hand as they walked out.
“Did the guy you beat up just now die?”
“He deserved to die if he did,” Waylon thought, a chill rising in his eyes.
When he had heard those words, he had wanted to skin that beast alive.
How dare he insult his treasure, who he held so carefully and cherished so deeply?
If Hope hadn’t been there, if he hadn’t feared dirtying her sight, he would have truly wanted to kill that beast.
Hope startled, “He really died? If he really did, that would indeed dirty your hands.”
Waylon raised an eyebrow and smiled, ruffling Hope’s hair, “He won’t die.”
Hope thought of his words and felt nauseous.
As Hope and Waylon walked to the car, Waylon opened the door, and from behind came a soft call, “Brother Waylon, Miss Williams.”
Hope’s delicate brows slightly raised; that voice could only belong to Vivia Fuller.
Hope slowly turned around and saw Vivia supporting a drunken Mia Fuller behind her.
“Brother Waylon, Miss Williams, what a coincidence.”
Hope glanced at Vivia, then at Mia, her gaze cold and lightly smiling, “Indeed, it’s quite the coincidence to meet everywhere.”
Hope’s words carried a deeper meaning.
It seemed Vivia didn’t understand and continued, “Mia has been drowning her sorrows in alcohol, depressed ever since that incident…”
Hope laughed coldly, “What are you trying to say? Are you suggesting I caused her condition?”
Vivia clenched her teeth, “Miss Williams, that’s not what I meant.”
“What are you pretending for, you vixen?” Mia wiped the hair from her face, cheeks flushed and eyes blurry from intoxication, seemingly really drunk.
She shook off Vivia’s hand, staggered forward to Hope, and scoffed coldly, “What are you pretending for, huh? You were just inside seducing Xavier Lewis, and now you’re in Waylon’s arms. Aren’t you shameless?”
Hope’s face chilled, and so did Waylon’s.
Vivia looked terribly frightened and quickly pulled Mia back, “I’m sorry, Brother Waylon, Miss Williams, Mia is drunk, just spouting nonsense.”
Mia looked at Vivia and laughed, “Sis, how am I spouting nonsense? You saw it too. Wasn’t this woman just cuddling up with Xavier Lewis?”
Mia forcefully pushed Vivia away again and looked at Waylon with adoration still in her eyes, “Brother Waylon, I saw everything crystal clear, this shameless woman was in Xavier’s arms, and Xavier even said he wanted her, ha ha ha…”
Waylon’s eyes filled with an icy menace, as if ready to kill anyone, landing on Mia, who, heavily drunk and intent on harming Hope, didn’t even notice.
Vivia’s face grew panicked as she immediately explained, “Mia! You’re talking nonsense, shut your mouth.”
“Shut my mouth? I’m telling the truth, why should I?”
“The situation wasn’t like that, it was Young Cousin Lewis who hugged Miss Williams, and she refused,” Vivia said quickly.
“Refused? Flies don’t sting a seamless egg. Why didn’t he hug me? Why didn’t he hug you, but instead her? If not for an affair already, then what?” Mia shouted sarcastically.
Vivia smiled faintly.
Waylon Lewis’s eyes grew colder and harsher, and an oppressive aura radiated around him more and more intensely.
Yet, Hope Williams gently lifted her hand and patted Waylon Lewis’s hand lightly before putting it down again.
Understanding her gesture, Waylon managed to suppress the rage that had flared up within him.
Hope Williams watched coldly, as if observing two clowns.
“Enough, Mia Fuller,” Vivia Fuller snapped angrily at Mia Fuller, dragging her into the car and then turned back with an apologetic look to Waylon Lewis and Hope Williams.
“Brother Waylon,” Vivia glanced at Hope Williams with a look full of helplessness, then said to Waylon, “Brother Waylon, please don’t misunderstand. Maybe Miss Williams and Young Cousin Lewis had a bit too much to drink, and that’s why that happened. Please, don’t get it wrong.”
Hope Williams sneered inwardly.
Her words seemingly admitted that what Mia Fuller had said was true.
It was just drunkenness, nothing to misunderstand.
Hope Williams looked at Waylon Lewis and gave a faint smile.
Waylon’s eyes were filled with gloom.
Vivia watched Waylon’s mood and discreetly curved her lips.
“Brother Waylon, I’ll go ahead,” said Vivia, then looking at Hope Williams with a smirk before leaving.
Hope Williams calmly raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms, and curled her lips in a mocking and disdainful arc.
“Doesn’t she just look like a clown entertaining herself?”
The funniest part is that this clown thinks she’s smart, playing everyone else in circles.

“What do you plan to do?”
Hope Williams sighed gently, looked at Waylon Lewis, and smiled faintly, “One thing at a time.”
Her turn would come.
…
Back at home, Hope Williams took a bath, checked on Luke and Willow, and then went into the study.
The words of Mia Fuller from today still bothered Waylon Lewis.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Hope Williams, but that beast had touched his woman and upset her.
His brows were furrowed as he emerged from the bathroom, dressed in a deep gray bathrobe loosely tied around the waist, revealing a large expanse of wheat-colored skin, his firm chest and evenly muscular, providing a strong sense of security.
Drops of water still dripped from his jet-black hair as he casually dried it with a towel, exuding an elegant and noble charm that was uniquely his.
He scanned the room and didn’t see Hope Williams.
Furrowing his brows slightly, he tossed the towel aside, walked out of the room, and soon found her quietly sitting at the desk, the bright light outlining her perfectly delicate face, her slender fingers dancing on the keyboard.
She was focused on her task and hadn’t even noticed Waylon Lewis entering.
“What are you doing?” Waylon lowered his voice deliberately, fearing to startle her, but the deeply involved Hope still jolted slightly.
She looked up and her gaze landed precisely on the casually loose bathrobe revealing a sexy and firm chest.
Hope was momentarily taken aback, her mind freezing as if it had glitched, leaving her momentarily unable to speak.
