Chapter 17: Louis Gives A Secondary Card
She had only looked at the cake for a few extra seconds because of thoughts about things from her past!
Later, because Easton misunderstood that she liked it and wanted to buy it for her, she ended up arguing with the waiter.
Louis‘ face visibly darkened, but he quickly gathered his courage to ask, “Then what do you like to eat? I’ll buy it!”
Hope sneered: “What I like to eat has anything to do with you?”
“Of course it does! I’m your older brother!”
“Is it the older brother who sneakily kicked

In thehe past life, Louis had done to too many similailanthings, especially afterHopepe was injureded and imprisoned. Louis evevelo tooked a herwiwitmmalicious and disgusted eyeyes, as if he warteted her to die immediatelylly!
“I…” Louise fell silent. He couldn’t answever. Every wordrdtope said felt like a sharp knifeife stabbing intotoi his heart, and this knife wasas one he hadablamanded to Hope himself!!!
If he could bebe beborn before everything g began, he would ldonot hesitate to end his lifefe.

conversation, finally lifted his deep eyes to look at Louis. The darkness in his eyes seemed to harbor a beast, almost breaking free to tear Louis apart.
Louis shivered under his gaze and finally remembered what the waiter had said: this man was with Hope.
Who was this man to Hope? Her boyfriend? Her classmate? Or her benefactor?
And he looked a bit familiar, but Louis should not know a person with a disability.
Hope saw him staring at Easton and stood in front of him, disgusted. It was bad enough that he had bad intentions for her, she didn’t want to drag Easton into it.
She glared at Louis and pushed Easton away. Only then did Louis snap out of it and

rush to catch up, pulling out a brand–new bank card and handing it to Hope.
“Sis, although you don’t forgive me now or recognize me as your older brother, take this card first. You’re still in school and probably need money for a lot of things. When it’s used up, just ask me for more, I can give you however much you need!”
Hope immediately recognized the card. In her past life, Louis had given Sylvia this as a birthday gift – Louis‘ subcard, no limit on spending. Now he was giving it to her?
Unfortunately, Hope didn’t care for it. She could earn her own money!
Louis tried to force the card into Hope’s hand, but was stopped by a large hand.
Easton’s cold voice rang out, “Get lost!”

The momentary spark of anger was extinguished.
Louis, losing his composure, yelled, “What did you say? You want to be with this waste? Hope, you’re crazy! You’re the true young lady of the Newton family! What kind of man do you want? Why choose a cripple?”
The more Louis thought about it, the angrier he got. The real issue was that Hope’s choices were because of the years she had been lost in the world!
If she hadn’t been lost, she would have grown up in the Newton family, cherished and doted on. She wouldn’t be so
short–sighted and settle for a disabled man!
It was all their fault! They didn’t take care of Hope properly, and now he couldn’t let her make another mistake.

“You will never be together. I won’t allow it!”
“It’s not up to you who I want to be with.” Hope snorted and kicked Louis in the shin, “Good dogs don’t block the way!”
Louis grunted, bent down, and could only watch as Hope and Easton’s figures slowly disappeared.
He would find a way to separate Hope and Easton!
Hope lost the mood to continue shopping and pushed Easton straight to a furniture store. She bought a large wooden bath tub, specifically for herbal baths.
It wasn’t expensive, and it came with delivery. Hope paid for it without hesitation and then picked out a water ladle and a few

other small items.
The two didn’t bring up the cake shop or Louis, trying to forget the unpleasant events!
When they returned to the Farrell family, it was already evening. The delivery staff helped move the bath tub upstairs, and Hope began to clean it. She mixed some herbs to ensure the tub was free of impurities before using it for the herbal bath.
After cleaning the tub, Hope threw herself into the room with the herbs to check the ones James had already purchased.
Easton watched her busy figure and returned to his room, his mind constantly replaying Hope’s words to Louis.
Louis had kicked Hope and even wanted to hit her with a chair!

Easton only knew that Hope hadn’t had a good time in the Newton family, but he never realized it had been this bad!
He called James, “Send a few people to Plan Hope.”
James had been wanting to do this for a while. He had been keeping an eye on Richard, who was talented but lacked experience and kept hitting walls. James was afraid Richard might work himself to death and leave Hope with nothing to show for it.
Now that his master had spoken, James quickly sent a few of his trusted subordinates to help Richard.
After hanging up the phone, Easton opened up all the files on the Newton Group. That

that something was wrong with the Newton family. They began to inquire and hesitate about pulling out their investments.
Meanwhile, in the Newton family, Father and Mrs. Newton were both troubled by this
news.
“Who is behind this Plan Hope? How dare they snatch the Hester Group’s cooperation from us!” Mrs. Newton was furious. Although she didn’t usually manage the business, she still held an honorary position at the company.
Mr. Newton was flipping through Richard’s files.
“It’s a small company started by a college graduate named Richard just a week ago. He had even applied for a job at our company, but he didn’t show up for the interview. I

didn’t expect him to start his own company.”
Mrs. Newton frowned, “How could a poor student afford to start a company? Who is funding him behind the scenes?”
“I don’t know,” Mr. Newton shook his head. He had used all his resources to investigate, but nothing had turned up. It was as if someone was intentionally hiding something.
Today, the Hester family suddenly proposed to terminate all cooperation and even
prepared a penalty for breaching the contract.
At first, Mr. Newton thought the Hester family had found a better partner, but
instead, they turned around and signed with this small company.
