Chapter 939: Looks a Bit Older
Hope Williams gathered the gist from what they were saying.
Owen Winton likely came to plead with the old man, and the old man, considering his past relationship with the Winton Family, promised not to act against Emma Winton in plotting against Wyatt Lewis.
Now that the matter has blown up on hot search, Owen Winton thinks it's the Lewis Family's doing, feeling deceived, and came here for an explanation.
Hope Williams sneered, "I really don't know where he gets the nerve."
"You all talk a good game, but where is Christopher Lewis? His promise of the half-month period led to my daughter's misunderstanding, initiating a series of events afterward. Let him come out."
"Owen Winton, don't you want to keep your old face?" Christopher began striding down the stairs, and his cold gaze fell upon Owen Winton.
Owen Winton's face was tense. "Was anything I said wrong?"
"Your words make it sound like I caused everything; if you want to look at it that way, why not question yourself about how you raised such a daughter?"
"Our family won't haggle with yours, yet you have the nerve to come and accuse us? When the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam sags — better reflect on yourself."
Owen Winton was so angry he nearly lost his breath. "Fine! Fine! Fine! Now you're acting like you're innocent, huh?"
Owen Winton was incredibly furious, his voice trembling.
"I admit I was soft-hearted in agreeing to the half-month period; even if I'm wrong, so what? My mistake was in considering our relationship."
"Admitting it is good, but cut the useless talk; now that things have escalated to this point, you have to find a way to solve it."
"Me, solve it?"
Christopher Lewis saw through it; Owen was trying to apply pressure on him because he couldn't solve it himself.
"How to solve it? Bring your daughter out or clear the hot search to vindicate your family?"
Right now, the hot search is the most crucial matter; the scandal has already jeopardized his company.
Just as Owen Winton was about to speak.
Christopher Lewis said, "None of those are possible."
Owen Winton's face turned black, and he gritted his teeth, "Christopher Lewis."
"Since you insist I'm at fault, I don't mind issuing a statement clarifying the cause, process, and outcome of the entire incident, stating how much fault I bear, and let the public judge for themselves."
Owen Winton glared at Christopher Lewis for a long time, finally spitting out two words in anger, "Shameless."
"Owen Winton, who exactly is shameless here? Our family considered our past relationship and gave you some face, yet you repeatedly come to demand answers as if our kindness is your blessing?"
Owen Winton was speechless, with no choice but to leave in anger.
Wyatt Lewis and Aria Richardson just happened to come back and ran into each other at the door; Wyatt Lewis's face instantly darkened, "Owen Winton, what are you doing here?"
Owen Winton looked livid and shot a glare at him before leaving.
Wyatt Lewis and Aria quickly went inside; Wyatt Lewis saw the old man's face wasn't looking good either, his brow furrowed even more, "Grandfather, why did Owen Winton come?"
"Don't worry about him, and from now on, don't show any mercy to them; there is no relationship between our two families anymore."
After speaking, the old man signaled for the servant to help him onto his wheelchair and return to the room.
Wyatt and the others originally did not intend to show them any mercy, and since Owen Winton was so shameless, they certainly would not hesitate going forward.
The next day.
Zoey Sanders had been asleep for days, but now she was exceptionally alert, lying flat on the bed, with various expressions flashing through her beautiful eyes, seemingly deep in thought.
Lucy Parker sat beside her, keeping her company, and Joseph Sanders was also glued to her side.
The Sanders Family naturally noticed the online fuss.
Emma Winton is now being criticized all over the internet; she deserves it, but even then, Lucy Parker's hatred remains unresolved.
"Knock Knock." The door was knocked.
Joseph Sanders went over to open the door; the visitor was Wesley Ruiz.
Joseph Sanders said, "Wesley?"
Upon hearing this name, Zoey Sanders almost sat up suddenly.
"Hey, what are you getting excited about, you silly girl?" Lucy Parker immediately raised a hand and pressed Zoey Sanders's shoulder, "Don't move."
"Mom, I'm fine." Zoey Sanders's eyes were full of excitement, although lying down, her eyes seemed ready to fly out.
Lucy Parker seemed to have noticed something and glanced at Wesley Ruiz at the door.
She rarely sees her daughter this excited at hearing the name of a man; the way she's acting, this Wesley... could it be the man she likes?
Thinking this, Lucy Parker immediately walked towards the door, wanting to see what kind of person her daughter fancies.
Wesley Ruiz was holding a bouquet of flowers and some supplements. "Young Master Sanders, I've come to visit Miss Sanders."
Joseph Sanders nodded, "Hmm, where's Liam Cloud?"
Ever since rescuing Zoey Sanders, Liam Cloud had not been seen.
Zoey Sanders never said anything aloud, but since waking, she had been somewhat in a daze; others might not understand her demeanor, but he did. Her heart seemed to follow Liam Cloud.
"Our Big Boss had business and went back to Country Y."
"I see." Joseph Sanders glanced at Zoey Sanders, seeing her full of anticipation, and sighed helplessly.
Of all the people to like, she chose someone impossible.
If Liam Cloud had even a shred of interest in her, it wouldn't be possible for him not to visit her.
Lucy Parker came over and looked Wesley Ruiz up and down.
Hm, he looks quite good.
Bright eyes and white teeth, his sword-shaped brows reached his temples, with a refined and comely appearance. Although his skin was a bit dark, he was full of vitality, with an upright and tall physique, exuding a steady aura.
He certainly matches her daughter's aesthetic.
However, noticing he seemed older than Zoey, would there be a generation gap in their future together?
