She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor - Chapter 138

“Miss, you should really take out the necklace. It is the Fuller Family heirloom, not just
any ordinary item.”
Hope Williams stood her ground calmly, looking directly at the person who ha d just
spoken, “I’ve said it already, I didn’t take anything. What are you asking me to take
out?”
Seeing that Hope Williams wouldn’t admit to it, Mia Fuller’s frown deepened, and
sadness filled her eyes.

That trace of sadness entered the eyes of the onloo kers, further escalating their
sympathy for Mia Fuller.
“The only one who entered Miss Fuller’s room was you. Now the necklace is lost. Who
else could have taken it if not you?”
“That’s right. Miss Fuller kindly let you use her room to change your clothes, and you
stole her necklace. What kind of upbringing is that?”
...
Mia Fuller weakly raised her head, looking at Hope Williams with tear - filled eyes.
“Sister Hope, if you really took the necklace, could you please just return it? That
necklace is very precious to me. If you like the necklace, I can give you all my other
necklaces. I just want that one back. Can you do that?”
Mia Fuller pleaded desperate ly.
The bystanders grew even more indignant.
“Miss, Miss Fuller has pleaded so earnestly with you. Won’t you take out the necklace?”
“If you want to prove your innocence, why not let us search you?”
Hope Williams’s eyes were cold, “Search me? Why should yo u? Did you see me steal
her necklace?”
“This…”
“If not, why are you unfairly declaring me guilty without any evidence?” Hope Williams’s
voice was icy as her gaze slowly swept over the crowd, utterly indifferent.
Hope Williams’s cool, compelling voice unint entionally subdued the others.
“But only you had entered Miss Fuller’s room.”
Hope Williams’s eyes flickered toward the servant, “When did you put the necklace in
the room?”
The servant, suddenly being questioned, unconsciously glanced at Mia Fuller.
Hope Williams, “Please answer my question.”
“Probably… before the party started.”

“Heh.”
Hope Williams sneered, “That’s ridiculous. During such a long period, with so many
people, you all didn’t check the surveillance; how did you determine I was the only one
w ho went in?”
The crowd looked at each other, realizing that Hope Williams made sense. With such a
large event and many people present, and the room not being locked, if someone
intended to steal, stealing a necklace would be easy.
“Is there a surveillance camera in the room?” Hope Williams asked again.
“Of course not…”
Who installs surveillance cameras in their rooms.
Hope Williams smirked, “Then it’s even more ridiculous; how could you be sure that I
stole the necklace from the room?”
Hope Williams’s few q uestions turned the situation around.
Mia Fuller’s pupils trembled within her tearful eyes, speaking weakly and tiredly, “Sister
Hope, we didn’t say for certain that you took the necklace…”
“You just did,” Hope Williams’s chilly gaze swept toward her.
“Sis ter Hope, I think there’s a misunderstanding. That’s not what we meant. The
necklace is very important to me, so I can’t overlook any possibility. I’ll check the
corridor surveillance later, but right now you are also a suspect.
Could you please cooperate with us and let us look in your handbag? It would also help
to prove your innocence. If it’s really not there, I will definitely apologize to you.”
Mia Fuller spoke with sincerity written all over her delicate, tender face.
“Yeah , the most straightforward way to prove your innocence now is to open your bag in
front of us. If the necklace isn’t inside, then we’ve misunderstood you,” the surrounding
people chimed in.
“What’s going on?”
A deep voice interrupted, and everyone turned t o see a tall, imposing figure walking
over, making way for him.
Waylon Lewis naturally walked to Hope Williams’s side and asked in a low voice, “What
happened?”

“Miss Fuller’s necklace is lost, and they’re saying I stole it,” Hope Williams replied with a
s mile, openly confessing to Waylon Lewis.
Waylon Lewis’s gaze turned frosty as he glanced at Mia Fuller, whose eyes were
reddened.
Mia Fuller hurriedly explained, “Brother Waylon, sorry, it was just a hasty statement
because the necklace is so important to me, and it was lost after Sister Hope went in, so
I spoke harshly.”
Mia Fuller bowed her head in apology, her tone exceedingly sincere.
“Actually, I’m also willing to believe in Sister Hope, but there’s no choice. To prove that
Sister Hope really didn’t ta ke the necklace, the most straightforward way is to trouble
Sister Hope to let us see her bag, and that could prove her innocence.”
Mia Fuller’s delicate eyebrows tightened, appearing genuinely concerned for Hope
Williams, which made Hope Williams laugh.
“ Just like this, I can prove that I didn’t take the necklace, right?”
Hope Williams revealed a smile that seemed both ironic and not.
Mia Fuller looked at Hope, her smile was ostensibly normal, yet it inexplicably sent chills
down one’s spine.
But even so, what of it? She had personally put the necklace into Hope’s purse, so the
necklace must be inside it. This time, she was sure Hope couldn’t escape.
Waylon Lewis regarded Hope so highly, which naturally irritated her. This time, it was
just about teaching h er a lesson, letting everyone know what kind of character this
woman had, and how she couldn’t hold a candle to others.
Such a woman, caught as a thief — how could the Lewis Family possibly want her?
“Yes, just by letting us see your handbag, we can prove it .”
Hope raised an eyebrow, “It seems as though Miss Fuller is certain the necklace must
be in my bag.”
“Because if you really took it, the only place you could hide it would be the handbag.”
Mia Fuller didn’t dare slack off, this woman could easily twist h er words.
“Okay.” Hope instantly agreed, lifting her hand unhesitatingly to hand over her handbag
to Mia.

“Since Miss Fuller is so sure, then let Miss Fuller search it herself.”
A subtle, triumphant smile flickered unnoticed across Mia’s eyes as she frowne d,
reflecting on Hope’s stern expression, “Sister Hope, I really do trust you.”
“Hmm, then I thank Miss Fuller for your trust.” Hope said with a smirk.
Mia handed her own handbag to a servant beside her, and under everyone’s intense
gaze, she received and opened Hope’s.
Everyone craned their necks.
Mia Fuller carefully took out each item from Hope’s handbag and placed it on the table.
There wasn’t much in Hope’s bag — a lipstick for touch - ups, some cosmetics, a cell
phone, a small packet of tissues… and that was it.
Mia’s face tensed harshly.
“There really is nothing.”
“There truly is nothing.”
“Could it be hidden on her person?”
Hope sne ered, “Miss, Miss Fuller already said there’s no other place for me to hide
anything except the handbag. Why don’t you believe it? Do you want to give me a body
search?”
As soon as Hope finished speaking, a piercing gaze swept towards the speaker.
That per son, in that instant, felt their legs soften and swiftly bowed their head, “I dare
not.”
Mia Fuller clenched her teeth tightly, staring persistently at the handbag.
Hope laughed, “Miss Fuller wouldn’t still think there’s a secret compartment in my bag,
wou ld you?”
Hope’s voice abruptly startled Mia, freezing her expression solid as she desperately
squeezed out a smile, “No… no…”
“Since there isn’t, can this prove my innocence?” Hope asked very calmly.
“Of course… it can,” Mia gnashed her teeth.

“That’s good , could Miss Fuller please return my handbag to me then?”
Mia felt mockingly scrutinizing eyes cast towards her.
Especially from Waylon Lewis, whose gaze was bursting with dark and angry air — a
look she had never seen him direct at herself in all the years she had known him.
And this look was all because of another woman.
Mia clenched her teeth tightly, bowing her head, unable to comprehend why there was
nothing.
But now, with everyone watching her, she couldn’t show any anomaly, only taking out
and tactfull y placing back everything from the handbag back into it, returning it to Hope,
“Sister Hope, I’m truly sorry. I misunderstood you, and I am really sorry.”
Hope lifted her hand to take her handbag back, looking at Mia with a faint smile.
That smile, when ca ught in Mia’s eyes, was full of mockery.
Hope smiled, another woman just like Joy Ward yet far more adept — she understood
the situation and knew when to advance or retreat.
Seeing she was on the losing side, she promptly apologized, admitted her mistakes,
a nd ceased her excuses, minimizing her losses.
Today was her welcome reception, a misunderstanding wouldn’t strip her of face.
“Since it’s all a misunderstanding, let’s all disperse now,” Mia knew she couldn’t win
now, and couldn’t let this situation escala te further, it wouldn’t be beneficial to her.
“Wait,” Hope spoke up.
“Miss Fuller’s necklace hasn’t been found yet, how could this matter simply end like
that? After all, it’s a family heirloom of Miss Fuller’s and now that I’m involved, I naturally
can’t just stand by idly.”
Mia wanted to slander her, and now she wanted to escape unscathed, she thought
bitterly.
