Chapter 494: Chapter 494: The Threat is Too Great

Hope Williams looked towards Waylon Lewis, took the warm water he handed over, and waved her hand, “It’s nothing.”

Originally, Waylon’s gaze was on Hope, but it suddenly turned dark when it shifted to Wyatt Lewis. Wyatt swallowed and gave an unnatural smile at Waylon, “Brother.”

“Can you get out of bed?”

“Ah?”

Seeing his own brother with a stern face asking about his wellbeing, Wyatt was momentarily at a loss.

Hope explained, “We’re heading back to Emperor Capital now, and we’ll take you with us, so don’t worry, your brother isn’t here to beat you up.”

With a flicker of fear, Wyatt feebly swallowed, “I… should be able to get out of bed… I guess?”

“Get your medicine changed, get dressed, let’s go.”

Hearing Waylon’s calm tone, Wyatt dared not delay, immediately calling the nurse to treat him.

Waylon took Hope out of the ward and waited for him outside.

Hope looked at the little miser in front of her and couldn’t help shaking her head.

The two sat on a bench in the corridor, Hope leaning her arm through Waylon’s, resting on his shoulder, “Waylon, don’t keep frowning, you’re scaring everyone.”

“Everyone? Who?”

Hope looked up at him, “I think everyone’s scared when you frown.”

Waylon turned his head to gaze intently at her, “Are you afraid too?”

“Except for me,” Hope replied with a soft smile, “I think our Great Demon King looks cute even when he’s frowning.”

Cute when jealous, Hope smiled softly.

Waylon raised an eyebrow in surprise, the word ‘cute’ seemed never to belong to him.

But being complimented by his beloved, Waylon’s mood lightened considerably, his hand around her waist tightened slightly.

Wyatt got his medicine, changed his clothes, and hurried out, not daring to make his brother and sister-in-law wait long.

Waylon stood up and walked ahead with Hope, with Wyatt quickly following.

At noon, Waylon’s private plane landed at the Emperor Capital private airport.

Hope, having almost not slept the night before, fell deeply asleep as soon as she sat on the plane.

Waylon asked Wyatt to take Luke and Willow down first.

He sat beside the sofa covered with a blanket, where Hope lay sleeping peacefully, a slight smile curling the corners of his mouth.

Waylon gently stroked her fair cheek, Hope’s butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes opened.

Looking down at her, he caught her slightly bewildered gaze.

He slightly curved his lips, bowing to press a kiss on her forehead, “Did I wake you?”

Hope shook her head, glancing around, only to realize that they were the only two left on the plane, “Have we been here long? Why is it just us two?”

Hope hurried to get up, worried that she had overslept and kept them waiting.

Waylon steadied her waist, “No rush, we just arrived.”

“Really? Then where is everyone?”

Waylon hugged her waist a bit tighter and gently kissed her ear.

“I sent them down.”

A warm tingling sensation startled Hope, and smelling his unique and strong scent, she involuntarily shrunk back.

“Stop teasing, let’s get off the plane.”

Waylon raised an eyebrow, “What are you running for? Afraid I’ll eat you?”

Hope’s bright eyes blinked at Waylon and she subconsciously nodded.

Waylon chuckled softly, lightly caressing her cheek with his deep, resonant voice, “So clever.”

Hope paused for a moment, as Waylon boldly kissed her.

Seeing that it was only the two of them left on the plane, she had anticipated that this man might have some mischief in mind.

A flicker of amusement sparkled in Hope’s eyes as she tilted her head back, not rejecting him.

She let him kiss her lips lightly, occasionally responding by teasing with the tip of her tongue, successfully stirring Waylon’s desire intensely.

Waylon, even more, couldn’t easily let her go, deepening the kiss.

Overwhelmed by Waylon’s forceful and domineering advance, Hope gradually gave in.

“Uncle, why haven’t Daddy and Mommy gotten off the plane yet?” Luke and Willow were leaning against the car window staring at the private plane, but they still hadn’t seen their parents come down.

“Could it be that Mommy isn’t awake yet?”

“Probably… I guess.” Wyatt Lewis hooked his lips and raised his eyebrows, noticing the two still showed no signs of coming down, it might take a while longer.

“Luke, Willow, how about this, Uncle will take you two home first. Grandpa, Grandma, and Great Grandpa are all very worried about you, let’s go home and let them know we’re safe, what do you think?”

“What about Daddy and Mommy?”

“Don’t worry about the two of them, they won’t run away, let’s go.”

Wyatt Lewis started the car.

Anyway, Thomas Hughes’s car is still waiting on the side, they have ways to get back.

…

Hope Williams leaned against Waylon Lewis’s chest, panting softly, “No more fussing, let’s go down now.”

Waylon Lewis looked at her, his eyes full of indulgence, and lifted her up from the couch.

The two disembarked from the plane and didn’t see Wyatt Lewis and Luke and Willow.

“Where did Wyatt Lewis take Luke and Willow?”

Seeing the situation, Thomas Hughes stepped forward to answer Hope’s question, “The young master thought you guys might need a bit more time, so he took the young master and young miss back to the old mansion first to reassure the elders.”

Hope Williams coughed awkwardly, “I see, okay then.”

Getting in the car, the two naturally had to head to the old mansion first.

Hope’s eyes flickered when she saw two documents in her bag.

After some contemplation, Waylon Lewis was the first to speak, “Your grandmother probably wants you to be the Williams Clan heir, right?”

Hope looked at Waylon Lewis, not surprised that he could see through Jade Bell’s intentions.

Hope pressed her lips together, “Hmm, what do you think? I want to hear your opinion.”

Although Jade Bell gave Hope shares and a company, these weren’t so easy to accept, and Jade Bell did have her own agendas.

She wanted Hope to become the heir of the Williams Clan.

Fifteen percent of the shares already made her the second-largest shareholder of the Williams Clan.

“That’s too hard.” Waylon meant he didn’t want her to struggle for this position.

“Ted is not a simple man; he won’t let go of that position.”

“You’ve noticed too?!” Hope took a deep breath and then exhaled, “It is a bit troublesome.”

A hard-to-read Ted, a Maverick Williams-backed Luna, and a grandmother who supports her.

The divisions in the Williams Family were quite clear.

Hope looked at the share transfer agreement in her hand, feeling annoyed, and decided not to think too much about it for now, simply putting it aside.

“Let’s talk about it later; I have absolutely no interest in their family.”

Even if they had to fight fiercely over the position of heir, it had nothing to do with her.

Waylon Lewis stroked Hope’s head, his eyes filled with worry, but by signing this share agreement, she was pulled into the Williams Family’s struggle.

Being the second-largest shareholder after Maverick posed too great a threat to them.

Waylon had experienced such family disputes before, just like Isaiah Lewis, ruthless for a position.

The Williams Family was the same.

Now with Maverick still robust, but once Maverick falls, the struggle for the heir’s position would turn into a storm of blood.

Waylon really didn’t want her to go through this kind of danger again.

Hope set the two documents aside, watching Waylon’s eyes clouded with dark thoughts, wondering what he was thinking. Hope waved her small hand in front of his eyes.

Waylon covered her small hand with his.

“What are you thinking about? So engrossed.”

“Nothing much, what do you plan to do about Ansen?” Waylon handed her the tablet.

Hope took the tablet suspiciously, which displayed development data of Ansen over recent years.

“When did you look this up?”

“While we were on the plane.”
