Chapter 718: Chapter 718 Let Alexander Knox See Her True Colors

Lily Armstrong placed her phone on the table, sat down next to Natalie Rogers, sighed, and said, "Maybe Alexander hasn’t seen through Miss Richardson’s true colors yet. If he does, I believe he will listen to you."

"True colors?"

Natalie Rogers seemed enlightened, her eyes brightened. "Exactly, this woman is also involved with the second young master of the Lewis Family. There’s no telling what kind of entanglements she has with other men. Once Alexander sees her for the fickle woman she is, I doubt he wouldn’t come back to his senses."

Lily Armstrong smiled slightly, "Auntie, what if she doesn’t have any?"

Natalie Rogers sneered, "I don’t believe that. I’ve seen many women like her. Even if we can’t find anything, we can always create some scandals for her."

Lily Armstrong hooked Natalie Rogers’ arm, "You’re right, Auntie."

Natalie Rogers already had a plan in mind and glanced at Lily Armstrong with satisfaction.

"Our Lily is still the best, just that Alexander doesn’t appreciate you. Don’t worry, Auntie recognizes you as my daughter-in-law, and no other woman will step into the Knox Family."

Lily Armstrong showed a charming smile.

Hope Williams was busy with Old Lady Taylor’s matters at the hospital for over an hour and also visited the dean’s office. By the time she finished, it was already past twelve noon.

To make up for being late, Hope invited Anthony Taylor out for a meal, along with Daniel Johnson who also came to Emperor Capital.

As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, Waylon Lewis called.

Upon answering, she heard Waylon’s magnetic and pleasant voice, "Mrs. Lewis, where did you run off to during meal time?"

"Are you home?" Otherwise, he wouldn’t know she’s not home.

"Yes, I came back to have lunch with you."

Waylon finished work early today and planned to have lunch at home with his wife and kids, but his wife was not at home.

Hope Williams pursed her lips, "But today Anthony brought Old Lady Taylor to Emperor Capital. I mentioned before her surgery that I will do the procedure, so I’m treating them to lunch. Can you have lunch at home with Luke, Willow, and Baby?"

A silence...

A few seconds later, Waylon’s voice came again, "Mrs. Lewis."

Hope paused, "Yes."

"Which restaurant?"

Hope blinked, "Are you coming over?"

"Yes."

"Alright." Hope smiled and gave the address.

Waylon, "Okay."

An amused smile played on Anthony Taylor’s lips as he sat in his chair, his schadenfreude evident, "Ha, he’s so strict, even manages your meals. Are you afraid of being abducted?"

Hope gave him a look, helplessly saying, "Stop teasing."

Daniel Johnson voiced his concern, "Miss Williams, how have you been feeling lately?"

Hope pressed her lips together, feeling as if they saw her like an elderly lady who needed to constantly monitor her health, in case she quietly passed away one day.

Anthony glanced at Hope, smiling, "She looks like someone in good health, doesn’t she?"

Hope gave a slight smile, "I’m quite well, thanks for your concern, Pharmacist Johnson."

"Hmm, you should still pay more attention to your health, don’t be careless."

Daniel always reminded her of this whenever they met. Hope, being obedient to the doctor’s advice, nodded, "Yes, I know. The dishes are all here, let’s eat."

Hope was so hungry she felt like dying. She picked up her chopsticks, her eyes fixed on the dish of chopped chili cod in front of her, unable to resist swallowing a bit.

Anthony noticed her swallowing and couldn’t help but laugh, "Does Lewis Family not feed you?"

"Yes, but..." Waylon is too strict, too anxious about her health, and has her on a customized nutrition plan, which is bland. Although Hope’s normal palate isn’t heavy, eating light meals all the time leaves her yearning for flavorful dishes.

Finally out for a meal, there was no one to stop her now.

Hope extended her chopsticks, but a soft voice came from beside her.

"This dish is too spicy, and spicy foods can cause inflammation. Your body should avoid it."

Hope paused for a moment and looked at the solemn Daniel Johnson.

Anthony raised an eyebrow, "Don’t listen to him; he’s just like a nagging mom. Eat."

"Master Taylor, you’re aware she gave birth less than two months ago, and her body was harmed by poisoning. It’s been less than two weeks since detoxification, so her diet should be more cautious."

"Miss Williams, you’re a doctor yourself. You should know better to follow medical advice."

Hope smacked her lips, pitifully withdrawing her hand, muttering softly, "Fine, I won’t eat it."

Hope reached out for the cold bamboo shoots and had just lifted them to her lips.

"Bamboo shoots are cold by nature, not suitable for your body."

Hope’s face froze as the bamboo shoot on her chopsticks fell into the bowl with a "plop."

Hope blinked at him, helplessly swallowed, and reluctantly said, "Okay, can I eat this then?"

Daniel glanced over, "Poria and ribs with arrowroot soup, good for the stomach, is fine."

Hope pitifully licked her lips.

Anthony looked at Daniel Johnson speechlessly, "Alright, tell me, what else is harmful about these dishes."

Daniel didn’t find anything wrong and continued, "Shrimp, crab, fish, and shellfish are all allergenic, high in purines; eating too much can increase purine levels."

"Oh, and then?" Anthony was unconcerned.

"It can lead to gout."

Anthony spat out the crab meat he just put in his mouth.

"Eating a lot can lead to hypertension. Eating occasionally is not a problem."

Anthony speechlessly twitched his mouth, "From now on, don’t sit at the same table as me during meals."

Daniel looked especially wronged, feeling he had done nothing wrong, "Master Taylor, I didn’t lie. I’m telling the truth. You never pay attention to your diet, especially since you often drink..."

Seeing him getting all aggrieved, Anthony stuffed a large piece of shrimp into his mouth, "You’re awesome; as a reward, finish this plate of shrimp. If you can’t, don’t go back with me today."

Daniel grinned awkwardly, "... Thank you, Master Taylor."

Hope found the whole situation both amusing and bewildering.

At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside, and Waylon Lewis walked in, his eyes immediately falling on Hope.

Hope smiled, "You’re here."

"Yes."

Waylon Lewis walked directly to the seat next to Hope, elegantly unbuttoned his suit, and sat down beside her.

"Just started eating?" Waylon asked warmly.

Hope nodded, "Yes, exactly."

Waylon scanned the several spicy dishes in front of him and then looked at Hope, raising an eyebrow.

Hope’s eyes trembled, much like a child caught sneaking a snack. She immediately waved her hands, "They ordered them, I didn’t eat any."

Anthony took a look at Waylon and then at Hope. He picked up a piece of the chopped chili carp, which Hope had been eyeing, and put it in his mouth. "Hmm, not bad, pretty tasty."

Hope watched on with longing as Anthony deliberately ate and marveled at the flavor.

Hope was utterly speechless.

Waylon glanced at Anthony and used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of carp for Hope.

Hope blinked.

Waylon spoke softly, "It’s okay to have a little."

Hope nodded quickly, "Yes, yes."

Anthony chuckled, lifting his chin at Waylon, "Since President Lewis is here, how about we have a few drinks?"

Waylon was courteous and didn’t refuse, "Sure."
