Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Intentionally Humiliating Her

"Both of you are six of one and half a dozen of the other." Old Ortiz walked out with his hands behind his back, shook his head at the two of them, "Trying to cut against the grain, no wonder it’s not working, a waste of effort."

Following the sound, Waylon Lewis and Liam Cloud looked in Hope Williams’ direction. Old Ortiz was standing beside her, glaring at the two of them.

Waylon Lewis strode over to Hope Williams, glanced at Old Ortiz, and his gaze returned to Hope, filled with concern, "Why did you come out? Go back inside and lie down."

If it were before, Hope Williams would have said he was too worried about her, but after fainting this time, she knew there was a reason for his concern.

However, she did feel a lot better now, not as exhausted as before.

Hope Williams held onto Waylon Lewis’s large hand, leaned next to him, and smiled gently, "No need, it’s nice to come out and get some fresh air."

Old Ortiz disapprovingly glanced at Waylon Lewis, "Don’t always have her lying down; her bones will go soft. It’s good for her to move around more often."

Liam Cloud walked over nonchalantly, looked at Hope Williams, and noticed she was thinner than before, "Hope Williams, is Waylon not feeding you? Why do you look thinner?"

"Really?" Hope Williams looked down at herself, "But I eat quite a lot and feel like I’ve gained weight."

"Doesn’t seem like it." Liam Cloud glanced at Old Ortiz, "Old Ortiz, can you heal this girl?"

Old Ortiz grunted twice, "Naturally, I might not be good at other things, but I’ve spent a lifetime treating and saving people, and I’m confident that as long as she follows my treatment plan, her health will improve."

Hearing this, both Waylon Lewis and Liam Cloud felt a bit relieved.

Liam Cloud curled his lips into a smile, "That’s good."

Hope Williams felt even more guilty seeing Liam Cloud like this; he didn’t have to do all this for her here.

Liam Cloud saw her part her lips, wanting to speak, and interrupted her first, "I’m just bored, and this place happens to be remote and quiet, so I’m here to relax and get some exercise. Don’t you feel like you owe me again."

"Alright, stop rambling. I think it’s going to rain, so you all should stay the night, and you two work harder. At your current pace, it won’t be done by evening." Old Ortiz frowned at the two of them.

It was evident, Old Ortiz was really disdainful of these two ’more harm than good’ guys.

Waylon Lewis and Liam Cloud, leaders who dominated their respective fields, didn’t seem to have any temper being scolded by Old Ortiz.

Upon hearing that they needed to stay, Hope Williams immediately wanted to refuse. She had three children; not to mention Luke and Willow, but Baby was less than two months old and needed care at night.

Hope Williams said, "Master, we have to go back tonight, I have children to look after."

"Children to look after?" Old Ortiz looked at Waylon Lewis, then at Hope Williams, "Didn’t you discuss this before coming? You’ll need to stay here for about a month, isn’t it troublesome going back and forth?"

Waylon Lewis held Hope Williams’ hand, consoling her, "Don’t worry, I’ve talked to the family, you can stay here for treatment at ease, Baby will be taken care of."

Hope Williams was still a bit hesitant, "I want to know where this place is?"

Waylon Lewis said, "It’s a village in River City, but Old Ortiz lives a bit remotely, you’ll see the village if you go further down the mountain."

Hope Williams was a bit surprised, "River City?!"

So far away! Hope Williams looked up at the sky, it seemed they really couldn’t go back tonight.

Hope Williams withdrew her gaze and glimpsed a figure in the distance hurrying over with a document.

It was Thomas Hughes.

It seemed cars couldn’t drive up here, so Thomas Hughes was panting, suit draped over his arm, and his shoes were muddy, looking a bit disheveled.

Thomas Hughes took several deep breaths and handed the document to Waylon Lewis, "Boss, there’s an important document that needs your signature."

Hope Williams smirked, Thomas Hughes came all this way just to get Waylon Lewis’s signature.

Hope Williams chuckled dryly, "Assistant Hughes... really dedicated."

Thomas Hughes wiped the sweat from his forehead, flashing a toothy smile at Hope Williams, "You’re too kind, ma’am."

Hope Williams took out her phone, but there was no signal here as it was quite remote. She initially wanted to call Luke and Willow, and Aria Richardson too. She was a bit worried about Aria’s current situation.

After Alexander Knox’s recent commotion, it seemed he wouldn’t stir up any more trouble. But their engagement was real, and resolving it in the end was quite distressing.

Hope Williams’ concern wasn’t unfounded; at that moment, the atmosphere at the Richardson Family was awkward.

Aria Richardson had been in her room for two days, feeling dizzy, increasingly irritable, and couldn’t put on a good face when she saw the two people in front of her.

Alexander Knox was sitting on the long sofa, while Lily Armstrong sat to one side.

Aria Richardson muttered to herself, finally understanding the saying, "If you don’t look for trouble, trouble will find you."

Lily Armstrong was smart; she spoke to no one initially, then softly said, "Miss Richardson, are you still upset? No one expected what happened the night before, Alexander’s emotions were intense because he likes you, he also got hurt afterwards, you know?"

Aria Richardson glanced at Alexander Knox’s arm in a cast, "Now I know."

Lily Armstrong discreetly looked at Alexander Knox’s expression, then continued, "Why don’t we see Miss Richardson showing any concern for Alexander?"

Aria Richardson kept a cold face, "You caring for him is enough."

Alexander Knox’s face was dark as he kept his eyes on Aria Richardson.

But Aria Richardson didn’t want to look at him.

Lily Armstrong smiled subtly, "Don’t misunderstand us, Miss Richardson. The reason Alexander and I came today was to bring you an evening gown, knowing you’ll attend tomorrow night’s banquet, time is tight, and we were worried you weren’t prepared, so his mother and I picked one for you."

Aria Richardson’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a mocking smile.

She wondered how she deserved their concern, going as far as to specially help her choose and deliver a dress.

Lily Armstrong picked up a prepared gift box, cheerfully saying to Aria Richardson, "Miss Richardson, open it and have a look. We all think it looks good, and it should suit you."

Aria Richardson did not accept it.

Lily Armstrong didn’t mind and opened the gift box herself, taking out the dress inside.

A pink tulle dress.

The top was a halter design with a large embroidered sequin flower on the chest, the waist was connected with sheer fabric to a garish, puffy tulle skirt...

The entire dress was gaudy and tacky, indecent and vulgar.

A dress nobody would accept at any event for free, yet she presented it like a treasure to her.

Aria Richardson looked at Lily Armstrong with sarcasm in her eyes, curious about where she got such a dress, was it bought intentionally to humiliate her?

"How about it? Miss Richardson, just wear this tomorrow night, it’ll definitely suit you well."

Aria Richardson glanced at the dress. If she really wore this to such a banquet, she’d probably be laughed at.

Lily Armstrong, as if oblivious to Aria Richardson’s stare, put the dress back in the box and pushed it into Aria’s arms, "Miss Richardson, you must keep it."

Aria Richardson raised an eyebrow, suddenly turning her gaze to Alexander Knox, asking, "Will you be going tomorrow?"

Caught off guard by Aria’s question, Alexander Knox was momentarily speechless.

Lily Armstrong quickly answered for him, "Alexander is injured, so he won’t be going tomorrow night."

Of course, she didn’t want Alexander to go. If he went, their plan might fail.

Alexander Knox, however, looked at Aria Richardson and asked, "Do you want me to go?"

Aria Richardson glanced at Lily Armstrong, then smiled, "Of course."

Alexander Knox nodded, "Alright, I’ll go."

Hearing this, Lily Armstrong’s face changed, "Alexander, you’re injured, it’s best if you don’t go."

Aria Richardson took out the dress Lily Armstrong had given her, eyes full of sarcasm, and said, "Miss Armstrong, rest assured, Alexander and I will definitely be on time tomorrow, and yes, I really like this dress, I’ll wear it tomorrow."
