Chapter 725: Chapter 725: This Is a Barefaced Threat

"You!" Isla’s face turned pale.

So Aria is the suspect in the alleged affair, and Alexander is the jilted victim. The matter of the bride price had already gone viral online—this uproar over the return of the dowry, once this video comes out, what will Aria face goes without saying.

The chain reaction is that Aria, as the eldest daughter of the Richardson Family, shares honor and disgrace with them; they will all be cursed and insulted, and the Richardson Clan will suffer from a scandal causing a stock plunge. Miac, as the chairman, will face impeachment by major shareholders because of having such a daughter.

This was naked aggression.

Though seeing the video, Isla knew her daughter’s character wouldn’t act foolishly. If not, both Alitzel and Wyatt had proposed marriage many times, she could have simply married into the Lewis Family disregarding everyone’s opinion, leaving nothing for Alexander.

There’s definitely more to this than meets the eye.

Miac saw the video and his face changed instantly, feeling humiliated. Considering the consequences of the video leak, his guilt towards Aria vanished, "I understand, I will go back and discipline that disgrace, and give you an explanation."

"That won’t be necessary. I just hope Uncle and Aunt know that I don’t mind these things. As long as Aria marries me and is willing to be with me, I will prove to both of you that I love her and that I’m the most suitable person for her." Alexander said with a smile.

But at this moment, Isla felt his smile was like a devil showing his teeth.

Lily stood quietly to the side, her gaze briefly glanced at Alexander’s phone video, a few smiles of calculation flashed in her eyes.

Miac angrily pulled Isla away.

Aria supported Wyatt as they walked outside. Wyatt’s arm and leg were injured, with several stick hits on his back.

But none of the injuries were life-threatening. These bodyguards knew he was the Lewis Family’s young master; no one dared to truly harm him.

Aria looked at the blood on her hands and tears streamed down, "I’ll take you to the hospital."

Wyatt pressed Aria’s hand, "No need, I’m not going to die; you don’t have to compromise because of me..."

Aria lowered her eyes, her gaze trembled a bit, giving a bitter smile, "It’s useless; he won’t let me go. With today’s incident, he will still have more tricks."

Wyatt frowned, seeing Miac walking over with large strides and pulling Aria away from him.

Aria stumbled a bit; Wyatt instinctively wanted to support her but was blocked by Miac.

Wyatt, "Uncle Richardson?"

Miac frowned deeply, "Young Master Lewis, I, Miac, know the Richardson Family can’t climb up to the Lewis Family. I beg you, Young Master Lewis, to have mercy and let my daughter go."

Aria looked at Miac, then at Isla, not understanding what insanity Miac was up to again.

Miac forcibly dragged Aria, "You come back with me, and best give me a proper explanation for what really happened in these two days."

"What explanation? What did I do wrong?"

"You know clearly."

Isla followed behind them, with a worried look, stopping Wyatt, "Young Master Lewis might as well deal with the wounds first; we’ll take Aria back, and talk about whatever matters later."

Isla sighed heavily, only being able to leave by car first.

Wyatt stood in place, his palm clenched tight.

...

Lewis Family.

After dinner, Alitzel, Christopher, and the old man were gathered around the cradle teasing the baby.

Hope came down from upstairs, "Grandpa, Mom, Dad."

Alitzel, holding a toy, laughed and looked up, "Hey, Little Hope, where are Luke and Willow?"

"They’re upstairs doing their homework."

"Hmm, why hasn’t Waylon come back yet? Usually, Wyatt sometimes isn’t visible at mealtime, but Waylon isn’t back either."

"I called Waylon, he said he has something at the company and will be back late."

"Business at the company?" Christopher lifted his head pondered, "It’s not busy at the company recently; what could he have that couldn’t bring him back at this time?"

Alitzel chuckled, "He’s the CEO; naturally, he has a lot to manage in such a big company."

Alitzel asked again, "Did you call Wyatt yet, Little Hope?"

"I did, but no one answered. I’ll try calling again later."

Alitzel waved, "Forget it, forget it, we can’t control him. Let him be; being such a big person he won’t get lost."

The old man glanced at Hope, then at Alitzel, smiled, "You two seem to be busy with Wyatt’s wedding plans lately?"

Alitzel immediately nodded, "Mmhm, that boy doesn’t mind his wedding, I as his mother can’t remain uninterested."

The old man smiled, "Tell me which family girl have you chosen?"

Alitzel immediately said, "It’s a girl from the Richardson Family."

"Is it the little girl who’s usually noisy beside Little Hope?"

"It’s her."

"That girl’s temperament matches Wyatt’s; how’s it going?"

Alitzel tugged her lips, frustrated when talking about it.

"Probably canceled."

Alitzel explained the whole story to the old man, who couldn’t help but frown too.

Alitzel considered and asked, "Dad, do you have any good ideas?"

"They’ve already sent the bride price, so you should not interfere much; otherwise, you might ruin it and harm the lady’s reputation."

"Dad, Aria has already proposed breaking up; that boy from the Knox Family is clinging persistently, Aria isn’t willing to marry, shouldn’t we help a bit?"

The old man sighed, "You, you are just impatient. No matter what, these are matters of their two families. Whether or not Aria is willing to marry has nothing to do with you; you only need to let them know that Wyatt is also her option, and nothing else should be interfered with."

Christopher added, "Dad is right, don’t meddle unwisely; let them develop on their own."

Alitzel pouted, finding it difficult to say more.

Hope heard the familiar car sound outside and knew Waylon was back.

Her beautiful brows softened instantly, "Waylon should be back, I’ll go check."

Alitzel chuckled happily, "Look at this young couple, they still live sweetly."

Hope opened the door and walked out, just as Waylon got out of the car, Hope ran toward him, throwing herself into his embrace.

"You’re back."

The cold look on Waylon’s face softened, reaching out to catch her.

"Mm."

Seeing the smile on Waylon’s face, Hope couldn’t help but ask, "What makes you so happy?"

Waylon curved his lips, "Coming back to a wife’s welcome is naturally better than anything."

Warmth rose within Hope, "Did you have dinner?"

Waylon nodded, "I did."

"Mm, we were just talking about you; come inside quickly."

Hope withdrew from Waylon’s embrace, planning to pull him inside, but Waylon held her arm.

Seeing Waylon standing still, Hope blinked her eyes, "What’s wrong?"

"Let’s take a walk outside."

"Hmm?"

Waylon sighed helplessly, "We haven’t had time alone together for a while."

Hope watched Waylon’s sad expression and smiled helplessly.

Since living in the old house, except for sleeping together at night, there were always others around at other times. Oh no, even in bed they had the baby.

Hope chuckled, stood on tiptoe, gave Waylon a quick kiss on the lips, "Alright, let’s go for a walk, just to digest a bit."

Waylon was pleased by the kiss, raising his hand to hug Hope, bending down to deepen the kiss.

"Mm..." Hope knew once he started kissing, he couldn’t stop, hurriedly covering his mouth, glancing around, the first floor’s bay window gave a complete view outside.

"What are you doing?"

"It’d be so awkward if Grandpa or Mom and Dad saw."

Waylon kissed her lightly on the lips, "Do you know what we look like now?"

"Like what?"

"An affair!"

"You!"

Waylon laughed lowly, "Alright, I’ll stop teasing, let’s go for a walk."
