She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 744: Chapter 744 This is Slander

"You’ve done something shameful yourself, yet you slander others? Those two have been in the banquet hall the whole time, never leaving. How could they harm you? You just want to call off the wedding with me, so why use such a disgusting method?"

Alexander Knox looked at Aria Richardson coldly, his dark eyes brimming with uncontrollable anger.

Aria Richardson’s lips trembled, "I’ve done something shameful? I’m slandering others? Alexander Knox! Do you think I’m stupid enough to disregard my and Wyatt Lewis’s reputation, willing to ruin it all just to force you to call off the wedding? Aren’t you just overestimating yourself?"

Alexander Knox frowned, the veins bulging on his clenched hand.

"Fine, then explain to me why Wyatt suddenly attended the banquet? How do you explain the arrangement of this room? And what’s with the waiter saying it was you who gave her the room key and asked her to hand it to Wyatt? You’d better clarify each of these issues."

Aria Richardson gritted her teeth, feeling that saying anything now was exhausting, yet she hated being wronged. She opened her mouth and continued:

"I don’t know why Wyatt came to the banquet. I was drugged and dragged into this room by Lily Armstrong’s people, and the room was set up by her people as well. As for the waiter, have you forgotten who owns this hotel? With just Lily Armstrong’s word, wouldn’t it be easy to have a waiter slander me?"

"Ha."

Alexander Knox sneered, his mind filled with the rage of betrayal. Hearing Aria Richardson’s explanation only made him find it laughable.

"I’ve known Lily for so many years, she’s never been that kind of person. As soon as she heard about this, she explained on your behalf in front of me and my mother, and here you are slandering her, pushing everything onto her."

Aria Richardson frowned angrily, raising a hand to rest on her forehead, unable to continue talking with him.

Seeing Aria Richardson’s speechless demeanor made Alexander Knox angrier. He grabbed her forcefully, holding her arm tightly.

"I’ve always been too lenient with you, making you think I don’t have a temper at all, that’s why you’re doing whatever you want. It won’t be like this from now on."

"You! Let me go." Aria’s arm hurt from his tight grip.

Alexander Knox shoved her away, glanced at the tightly shut bathroom door, and then stepped towards the door. Before opening it, he took a deep breath, suppressing the anger on his face.

Natalie Rogers and Lily Armstrong, along with others, hadn’t left.

Natalie Rogers and Lily Armstrong were eagerly waiting for Alexander Knox to come out.

Thinking that he certainly couldn’t accept Aria’s betrayal, and would be furious to announce calling off the wedding, the two women exchanged a knowing smile.

The door opened.

Lily Armstrong’s heart skipped a beat, though she still maintained a worried expression. She carefully observed Alexander Knox’s expression the moment she saw him.

Alexander Knox’s expression was calm, showing no signs of anger.

Lily Armstrong found it strange, anxiously asking, "Alexander, how did it go? Miss Richardson?"

Alexander Knox gave everyone a cold glance, calmly stating, "It was all a misunderstanding; there was only my fiancée in the room."

Lily Armstrong frowned deeply.

This can’t be!

"Only her? That’s impossible..." Natalie Rogers rushed forward in disbelief, convinced that two people were in the room and the other couldn’t have disappeared into thin air.

Natalie Rogers attempted to enter, but Lily Armstrong squeezed her hand, stopping her.

Natalie Rogers looked puzzled.

Lily Armstrong held her patience, turning to the waiter, "You’re mistaken, it wasn’t Miss Richardson who gave you the room key!"

"Impossible." The waiter immediately shook her head in denial, "I remember clearly, it’s absolutely true. I saw Young Master Lewis go in with my own eyes; there can’t be any mistake."

Lily Armstrong pursed her lips, unwillingly looking at Alexander Knox, "This..."

Alexander Knox’s expression darkened as he stared at the waiter sternly, "I said there was no one else, so there was no one. If you keep slandering my fiancée, don’t blame me for being rude to you."

"I... I..." The waiter turned pale, fearfully looking at Lily Armstrong.

Lily Armstrong’s hands tightened; it defied logic for there to be no one in there.

Or was Alexander Knox still trying to protect Aria Richardson’s reputation and refused to expose her?

Yes, it must be like this. noveldrama

Natalie Rogers, unable to control her temper, couldn’t stand seeing her meticulous plans go to waste.

"There can’t be no one; that little bitch must have hidden him. I must go and find Wyatt Lewis..." As she spoke, she was ready to rush into the room.

"Quite lively here! Is someone looking for me?"

A cold, playful voice drifted over.

Wyatt Lewis stood casually behind everyone, donning a neat dark suit, a cigarette between his fingers, exuding an air of lazy nonchalance.

Lily Armstrong’s brows furrowed deeply.

Wyatt Lewis?

What’s he doing outside?

Wasn’t he supposed to be in the room? How could he be out here?

Natalie Rogers also looked incredulous, her face frozen as though she’d seen a ghost.

The people around began to murmur.

"Isn’t that Young Master Lewis? He wasn’t in the room at all."

"Yeah, what’s going on?"

"Just now, didn’t the waiter categorically say Young Master Lewis went into Miss Richardson’s room and never came out? Then who is this? Is the waiter joking, randomly accusing others!"

"If the waiter hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, why would she falsely accuse anyone? Something fishy might be going on."

"What’s so fishy? Young Master Lewis is right here in front of us. Young Master Knox also checked the room and said no one was inside. We stood at the door the whole time, not seeing anyone come out. Are you suggesting Young Master Lewis walked through walls?"

"That... is indeed odd."

"I think this waiter was instructed to falsely accuse them; otherwise, how could a mere waiter dare to slander Miss Richardson and Young Master Lewis?"

"Who could have instructed her?"

"Whoever Miss Richardson offended at this banquet probably orchestrated this. Besides, the reporters wouldn’t have entered without someone’s go-ahead."

Some guests whispered in annoyance, though their soft voices were audible to everyone around.

Their last words almost explicitly pointed out whom they suspected.

Lily Armstrong’s well-crafted facade finally cracked, her face shifting with vivid colors of anger, glaring at Wyatt Lewis, gnashing her molars, still unable to figure out how he got out.

She cast a sharp glare at the waiter.

The waiter quickly lowered her head. She didn’t know what had happened; she clearly saw him go in, watched him not come out, and knew there was no backdoor in the room. How could he appear outside?

Alexander Knox, upon seeing Wyatt Lewis standing outside, furrowed his brow.

He was equally surprised that Wyatt wasn’t in the room, having assumed he’d been hiding in the bathroom.

"This can’t be, this can’t be!" Natalie Rogers murmured incessantly, seeing her plan foiled again.
