She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Just as Owen Winton finished speaking, Alitzel Williams and Christopher Lewis pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing the scene in the room and having heard those words just now, their faces instantly turned sour.

Alitzel was the first to be displeased, and retorted, "Owen Winton, I don't like hearing that. From the beginning, my son rejected your daughter. It was your daughter who has been desperately trying to marry my son, and now she's complaining about him? What kind of logic is that?"

Still dragging others into this — Alitzel couldn't bear to listen anymore and felt she needed to argue back. After all, he wasn't the only one who could speak.

Owen's face darkened even more. "And what about this half-month promise? Wasn't it your Lewis family who agreed to it? If you rejected it, why did you agree? Are you fooling us?"

Alitzel glanced at Christopher next to her, raising an eyebrow. "It wasn't my son who agreed to the half-month promise, find whoever agreed to it."

Christopher, suddenly being implicitly named, felt his brow twitch violently.

Owen shifted his gaze to Christopher, seemingly wanting an explanation from him.

Christopher frowned deeply. At that time, they, father and daughter, had already said so much, thinking of the relationships between the families, he couldn't outright reject them, and decided to tacitly consent to save their face.

Besides, Wyatt Lewis was unwilling to marry, so once the half-month was over, they'd probably back off themselves — who could have predicted the situation would escalate like this.

Christopher shook his head helplessly and sighed. Now he was being asked to take responsibility, but how could he?

Was he really supposed to marry Emma Winton?

Christopher's face turned dark, his tone harsh, "I was wrong as well, wrong in wanting to save face for you and your daughter, agreeing to some half-month promise. Now you're blaming me, so tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Firstly, this can't just be Emma's fault. Everyone is to blame."

"Your point isn't that if she goes to jail, I should pay the same price, right?" Christopher's temple throbbed with irritation.

Owen glanced at the police standing nearby; he wasn't implying what Christopher accused him of.

Rather, Owen wanted the Lewis family to step in and protect Emma. As long as they stepped in, saving Emma wouldn't be difficult.

Owen didn't want his daughter's future to be ruined like this.

But clearly, now was not the time for such discussions.

Owen glanced at Emma, who had fainted from emotional turmoil, and took a deep breath, "We'll settle this later. Chloe, quickly call the doctor."

Owen first carried Emma back to the ward; at this moment, the hallway was surrounded by quite a few reporters who quickly approached when they saw them coming out, eagerly handing their microphones to Owen.

"Chairman Winton, we've heard Miss Sanders was kidnapped by Miss Winton, is this true? Was there any prior conflict between Miss Winton and Miss Sanders?"

"Chairman Winton, is the kidnapping incident true? We've heard this matter involves the Lewis family too, can you explain what is going on?"

"There were earlier rumors of a Lewis-Winton marriage alliance, but it seems the families aren't getting along, is there truth to these rumors?"

"Chairman Winton, please answer…"

The reporters, seeing the police follow behind Owen, grew even more curious about the authenticity of the matter.

Already anxious and frustrated, Owen, seeing reporters blocking his way, couldn't hold back his anger anymore and shouted, "Move aside, can't you see someone has fainted? Are your questions more important than my daughter's life?"

Shouted at by Owen, a few reporters grimaced but didn't dare press further.

But with Emma now being watched by the police, the truth of the incident had become apparent.

"The matter is likely as rumored; otherwise, why would the police be here?"

"Yes, judging by the argument heard in the ward, it's almost certain the incident is true. And Mrs. Lewis seemed to mean that Miss Winton persistently clung to Young Master Lewis, eager for the alliance, but Young Master Lewis already has feelings for someone else, so he refused."

"Right, I heard that too, and a few days ago, it was Miss Winton who orchestrated the car accident, then staged a rescue of Young Master Lewis herself, making the Lewis family feel grateful in order to push for the marriage alliance."

"Unbelievable, she dared that much. The driver died in that accident, and she herself was seriously injured — going to such lengths is truly astounding."

"Now it's come back to bite her, serves her right."

The reporters grew angrier as they talked, and spurred by Owen's earlier outburst, felt displeased enough not to hold back when writing their reports.

Aria Richardson watched the scene unfold, shook her head in helplessness.

Wyatt Lewis walked up beside her, saw her grim expression, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
