She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 640: The older, the wiser

Luna Williams anxiously grabbed Noah Carter’s arm, her eyes glistening with tears. "Dad..."

Noah Carter’s gaze flickered sharply with a hint of surprise. "Luna, what did you call me?"

Luna immediately called out again, "Dad!"

Noah Carter’s eyes reddened slightly. Looking at Luna, he was almost overwhelmed with joy. "Good! Good! You finally called me Dad."

Noah Carter had thought that Hope Williams and Luna Williams would never forgive him in this lifetime.

He never expected to hear his daughter call him "Dad" again.

At this moment, Noah Carter was so happy he scarcely knew what to do with himself.

"Luna, don’t worry. With me here, no one can drive you away." Noah Carter seemed to have made some kind of decision, his gaze becoming even more resolute.

Emily Parker nearly fainted from anger. "Am I dead in your eyes?"

"Luna Williams, is the dowry you were given before still not enough? Now you’re even trying to take over the Carter family? Are you as shameless as your dead mother?"

Emily Parker didn’t know Luna had come to the Carters to avoid Ted Williams. She thought Luna was dissatisfied with the dowry and had set her sights on the Carters, something Emily would never agree to.

"I didn’t," Luna denied loudly. If not to avoid Ted Williams, why would she subject herself to such cold treatment here?

"Luna, what’s all this commotion in the Carter house?"

A faint voice came from the direction of the door. Luna shivered in fright and looked up to see Ted Williams entering.

Behind the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were filled with coldness, staring directly at her. Luna broke into a cold sweat.

Her grip on Noah Carter’s arm tightened. Noah turned to look at Luna and clearly detected a trace of fear in her eyes.

"Luna, what’s wrong?"

Luna forced herself to calm down, shrinking her neck and shaking her head, but her gaze remained fixed on Ted.

Ted’s gaze was full of menace, making her feel immense pressure.

"Ted Williams, you’re finally here. Take your sister home. After all, she’s still a Williams. What’s she doing staying in the Carter family?"

Ted smiled faintly, his demeanor polite and elegant. "I apologize for any trouble caused. I’ll take her home right away."

As he spoke, Ted beckoned to Luna. "Luna, let’s go. You have a home of your own—why aren’t you there? I thought something had happened to you. I’ve been looking all over for you."

To Luna, that smile of his looked like the smile of a devil, filled with danger. Fear washed over her like a wave, as if he would rip off his polished mask the next second, revealing his hideous true nature and tearing her apart.

Noah Carter sensed Luna trembling subtly and noticed something strange between the two. His sharp eyebrows furrowed as he spoke in a stern voice, "Luna is living well here. Let her stay in the Carter house."

"Heh." Ted let out a nonchalant chuckle. "How could that be? Whatever else she may be, she’s still a Williams and belongs with the Williams family. Besides, Grandma has just woken up and needs her care. How could she stay at the Carters indefinitely?"

Luna picked up on the implication in Ted’s words: even if she didn’t leave now, she couldn’t stay in the Carter home permanently.

"Did you hear that? Hurry up and leave. Do you really think you can mooch off my family?" Emily Parker barked angrily.

Luna bit her lower lip tightly. She had initially planned to continue enduring the humiliation, but Emily kept pushing her, and even a clay figurine has some temper—let alone Luna, who was far from mild-tempered.

Taking a deep breath, Luna faced Emily and said, "I never wanted to take anything from you. I’m my dad’s daughter, and I just wanted to spend more time with him. I know Aunt Parker hates me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sent people to violate me."

Luna didn’t hesitate to reopen her old wounds, airing past grievances. As expected, Noah Carter’s expression darkened significantly.

Large tears rolled down her face as she looked at Noah. "Dad, thank you for taking me in. Don’t argue with Aunt Parker because of me. I’ll leave."

With that, Luna prepared to leave.

Emily rolled her eyes, not noticing Noah’s change in demeanor. "Good that you know. Now get lost. Don’t linger in my house."

Noah Carter grabbed Luna by the arm, standing firmly in front of Emily. "I said Luna doesn’t have to leave, and no one can make her go."

Luna’s heart welled with a victorious smile.

"Noah Carter, you—" Emily started.

"What a lively scene!" A clear and chilly voice floated into the room.

Everyone turned to see Hope Williams striding in with an unruffled air and intimidating presence. Emily’s face darkened further as she gritted her teeth. "One hasn’t even been kicked out, and now here comes another. I must have the worst luck imaginable. What are you doing here?"

Hope raised an eyebrow.

Old Master Parker spoke in a low voice. "I called Hope over."

"Dad?" Emily was puzzled.

Old Master Parker’s expression softened noticeably as he addressed Hope. His tone was gentle. "Hope, take a seat first. Sophie hasn’t arrived yet. We’ll discuss the stock matters once she’s here."

Hope gave a slight nod and sat down.

"So, it’s about the stocks again." Emily let out two cold laughs. "If you don’t agree to Sophie’s two conditions, forget about it."

Luna and Ted both glanced at Hope, each with their own thoughts and agendas reflected in their expressions.

"Mmm." Hope nodded calmly.

She hadn’t held much hope for Old Master Parker to agree to sell the shares to her when he had summoned her here today.

The old man was shrewd and calculating, after all.
