She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 647: What You See Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg

Chapter 647: Chapter 647: What You See Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg

Hope Williams clenched her fists, her whole body trembling subtly.

"How can I trust that you won’t go back on your word?"

Ted Williams chuckled, "Don’t trust me? That’s okay."

Ted Williams tossed the phone in front of Hope Williams, "Go ahead, call Waylon Lewis and tell him his parents are in my hands. I’m sitting here waiting for him. He can beat me to death, as long as he believes he can find them before they starve."

Ted Williams finished slowly, his eyes coldly fixed on Hope Williams.

Hope Williams frowned, her eyes holding more suspicion at his words.

Christopher Lewis and Alitzel Williams had been missing for six days, Waylon Lewis had been looking for six days without any news, not without reason.

Ted Williams had deliberately hidden them; he could hide them in any country, any corner of any city.

No matter how powerful Waylon Lewis was, finding two people with no traces deliberately hidden was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Thus, she had to follow Ted Williams to possibly find their traces.

"Have you thought it through?"

Hope Williams gritted her teeth, turned, and walked out of the conference room.

The first-floor lobby of the Williams Clan was crowded with reporters waiting for interviews; even Luna Williams, who was being held by the police, hadn’t squeezed out.

"Second Miss Williams, what’s going on? Can you disclose anything to us?"

"What crime did Second Miss Williams commit? Why was she arrested?"

"Was Second Miss Williams’s arrest related to Old Lady Williams? Can Second Miss Williams reveal the results of today’s shareholder meeting?"

A deluge of questions flooded in, and Luna Williams was nearly driven crazy under the blinding camera flashes.

She bit her lip hard without saying a word.

A reporter noticed Hope Williams coming down and shouted, "Look, Miss Williams is here."

The reporters shifted their focus, rushing towards Hope Williams, but security guards and bodyguards on either side promptly blocked them.

Standing under the flashing lights, Hope Williams’s expression wasn’t good.

"Miss Williams, are you the final winner of today’s shareholder meeting?"

"Miss Williams, what mistake did Second Miss Williams make? Why was she arrested? Is it related to the incident with Old Lady Williams?"

"Miss Williams, at the last press conference, you mentioned that Old Master Williams, the old director of the Williams Clan, went to prison for Young Master Williams and Second Miss Williams. You said you’d provide evidence for your claim. Can you produce that evidence now?"

Hope Williams stood motionless; no one noticed her pale face and tightly clenched fists.

Seeing Hope Williams not answering, reporters continued to ask eagerly.

"Miss Williams, can you answer our questions?"

"Answer, Miss Williams!"

Hope Williams lowered her gaze, took a deep breath, and lifted her eyes slightly, meeting a pair in the second floor that were staring intently at her.

Ted Williams smirked, swung his phone at her, full of warning.

Hope Williams withdrew her gaze and looked at the reporters, beginning to answer their questions one by one.

Answering the last question, Hope Williams paused for two seconds before saying, "Regarding whether Elder Williams went to jail for Ted Williams, I got it wrong."

"Got it wrong? So you wrongly accused Young Master Williams and Second Miss Williams; they are innocent, right?"

Hope Williams’s eyes flickered, and in the crowd, she spotted a head of dazzling silver hair, meeting its gaze from afar, Hope Williams frowned, shook her head imperceptibly.

Liam Cloud looked at Hope Williams with cold eyes, his steps paused.

"Yes, I got it wrong." Hope Williams answered the reporter’s question with an icy calmness.

After finishing her answers, she looked up to find the person standing on the second floor had vanished.

Sighing, Hope Williams headed straight for the elevator.

The top floor.

Ted Williams stood in front of a helicopter, flanked by two rows of black-clad individuals, appearing well-trained. Hope Williams walked step by step to him, "I’ve clarified to the reporters as you said."

Ted Williams laughed softly, reaching a hand towards Hope Williams.

Hope Williams raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"Your phone and any electronic devices on you."

A mocking smile flashed across Hope Williams’s cold face as she handed him her phone.

"That’s all."

"That’s all?"

"Yes."

Ted Williams glanced at her hand, "What’s that you’re holding?"

Hope Williams raised her eyebrows, lifting her hand to show him, "Ted Williams, are you afraid even a mechanical watch can have tracking capabilities?"

"It’s quite unique, never seen one before. How about taking it off." Ted Williams held out his hand to Hope Williams, his face still wearing a gentle smile but his demeanor unyieldingly firm.

Hope Williams’s mouth corners twitched.

That watch was given to her by Luke, modified by Luke, seemingly ordinary but indeed equipped with tracking.

There were three; she, Luke, and Willow each had one. She could view Luke and Willow’s location from her phone, and they could see hers.

Hope Williams tightly clenched her teeth, removed the watch under Ted Williams’s gaze, and tossed it to him.

Yet Ted Williams remained unsatisfied, "Mind undergoing a search?"

Hope Williams forcefully restrained her emotions, "Ted Williams, are you really this afraid of me?"

"Can’t help it, I’ve suffered too many losses in your hands. Without full preparation, how dare I take you to see the Lewis elder couple? Rest assured." Ted Williams beckoned a black-clad woman forward, "I’ve thought everything through."

The woman nodded slightly and said emotionlessly to Hope Williams, "Pardon me."

Hope Williams couldn’t help but let out a mocking laugh; the woman searched her coat pocket thoroughly, even not missing a single pen, until there was nothing left, Ted Williams felt relieved.

"Alright, let’s go."

Aboard the helicopter, Hope Williams was immediately blindfolded. Only after that did Hope Williams sense the helicopter’s take-off.

Hope Williams did not know where she was being taken, only feeling they flew for quite a long time, silently calculating the time in her mind.

About three hours later, after getting off the helicopter, she boarded a car.

The car swayed as it moved, seeming to ascend a mountain. After one or two hours trip, they reached their destination and her blindfold was removed.

Hope Williams’s eyelashes trembled; she squinted as her eyes adjusted to the light before scanning her surroundings.

A three-plus-hour helicopter ride and one to two hours by car led to an entirely unfamiliar environment, unavoidably stirring unease.

It felt like a rear mountain, in front was a hidden building, two guards with attire matching those around Ted Williams stationed at the gate.

Ted Williams slid one hand into his pocket, coldly and mockingly glancing at Hope Williams, "Stop looking around; you won’t discern the location."

Hope Williams silently returned his gaze.

Waylon Lewis had told her before that Ted Williams’s hidden power far exceeded his surface appearance.

Now it seemed indeed so.

This person who usually appeared courteous revealed only the tip of the iceberg in terms of power.

"Keep up." Ted Williams advanced.

Hope Williams paused, the Blade River from behind nudged her, "Move it."

Hope Williams nearly stumbled, frowned, and brushed his hand off, "Don’t touch me."

Ted Williams turned back, his cold stare at Blade River, "Don’t touch her, she’s precious because she’s pregnant."

Blade River nodded, "Understood."

Ted Williams moved forward; black-clad guards on both sides respectfully bowed, "Master Williams."

"Mm."

The guards entered the password, and after confirmation, the heavy door opened to the sides.

"Come on in, the elder Lewis couple is in here."
