Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Scheming

Hope Williams gave her a glance and coldly spoke, "Alright, Miss Gray, you can leave now."

"Madam..." Grace Gray’s eyes were swollen from crying, looking utterly pitiable.

"Are we really letting this woman go just like that?" Wyatt Lewis couldn’t understand and looked at Hope Williams.

Hope Williams nodded indifferently.

Before coming down, she had checked the surveillance footage. Indeed, Luke had slipped on a pen by himself. At that time, Grace was discussing a problem with Willow and was some distance away from Luke. On the surveillance, everything seemed unrelated to Grace.

Both children said it was an accident, and there was no evidence to suggest it was her doing.

Continuing to press the issue would appear as if they were irrationally making life difficult for Grace.

"What’s going on here? Why does Wyatt keep saying it was Grace who hurt Luke?"

Hope Williams gave Wyatt Lewis a look, silently shook her head, and signaled him not to continue talking, then pursed her lips and spoke, "It was an accident. Luke was just careless. It’s nothing."

But Wyatt Lewis failed to understand the cue, "So it really was Luke who fell by himself? It has nothing to do with this woman?"

Hope Williams glanced at Grace Gray again, "Yes."

Wyatt Lewis’s expression remained cold, scrutinizing Grace with a hardened gaze.

Alitzel Williams sighed, "Now that the matter is clear and it wasn’t Grace’s fault, Wyatt, you should apologize to Grace."

As soon as Wyatt heard this, he exploded with anger, "Apologize to her? Why should I?"

Grace Gray bit her lip and hastily said, "It’s okay, auntie. Don’t be mad at the second master. He has always misunderstood me, and I know it. This bit of grievance is nothing."

"Putting on an act."

Alitzel Williams became somewhat angry, "Wyatt Lewis, why are you always so hostile towards Grace? Has she ever offended you?"

Wyatt Lewis, enraged, was about to retort when Hope Williams pulled him back, "This was a misunderstanding, Wyatt was impulsive. I apologize to Miss Gray on behalf of Wyatt. Is that acceptable, Miss Gray?"

With her lower lip bitten and eyes brimming with tears, Grace blinked, and tears continued to fall, "I’m an orphan without parents, accustomed to being bullied since childhood. It’s understandable that the second master looks down on me and is unwilling to apologize."

Her words implied that Wyatt Lewis was unfairly bullying her and yet refused to apologize, clearly not ready to let the matter rest.

How could Wyatt Lewis tolerate this? He slammed his hand on the table and rose abruptly, "Grace Gray, you’re still playing the victim, my sister-in-law has already given you enough face, what more do you want?"

"Yes, it’s all my fault. Then shall I apologize to you? I’m sorry for making you dislike me, that was my fault," Grace Gray raised her tear-filled eyes to look at Wyatt, with a stubborn yet pitiable gaze, while wiping her tears and running outside.

Alitzel Williams glared at Wyatt Lewis, "Usually, your wild and unrestrained behavior is one thing, Wyatt, but to falsely accuse Grace without any reason is just too much. Isn’t Grace pitiable enough? I had wanted to take her as my adopted daughter before, and you all strongly disagreed; you’re simply biased against Grace."

After speaking, Alitzel Williams chased after Grace Gray and went out.

Wyatt Lewis was on the verge of exploding with fury.

His own mother was siding with an outsider!

Hope Williams rubbed her forehead, "Wyatt, Grace Gray is purposely provoking you. You’ve fallen into her trap."

Hope Williams had anticipated this. Grace Gray indeed had a calculated mind, not to be underestimated.

She was adept at leveraging her pitiable situation plus her acting skills to garner Alitzel’s sympathy, which she used to attack others.

And she was always quite successful at it.

"Now mom really likes this Grace Gray. You’ve just made it seem like you were bullying her, which only makes mom feel even more sorry for her," sighed Hope Williams lightly.

Aria Richardson had also observed everything from the side and patted Wyatt Lewis’s shoulder, clicking her tongue, "You were indeed impulsive just now. Hope was trying to stop you and even gave you a way out, but you still rushed headlong into little White Lotus’ ploy. Your mom is about to die of heartache for her."

"I..." Only then did Wyatt Lewis realize what had happened, "Damn, she was crying like that on purpose just now."

Hope Williams nodded, "And mom just brought up the adoption again. You all disagreed before, and that has become a sore point for her. The more you resist Grace, the nicer mom will be to her."

So maybe Luke’s injury really had nothing to do with Grace, but she was smart. Once confronted by Wyatt, she deliberately called for Alitzel Williams.

Then, taking advantage of Alitzel’s sympathy for her, she positioned herself as a wronged and bullied victim, ensuring Alitzel would feel even more guilty for her.

"Damn, what do we do now?" Wyatt Lewis didn’t consider things as thoroughly as Hope and hadn’t realized he had been manipulated by this White Lotus.

"Let’s just wait and see. I’m not sure what to do next."

At this moment, a bodyguard entered to report, "Madam, there’s a gentleman here to see you."
