She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 586 Advantages and Disadvantages
Chapter 586: Chapter 586 Advantages and Disadvantages
Hearing Jade Bell use such a forceful tone to demand the return of the stock transfer document, Luna Williams felt her suppressed anger flare up instantly.
"Why? You prepared the stock transfer document ahead of time, planning to give it to Hope at any moment?"
Jade Bell stepped forward anxiously. "It doesn’t matter who it’s for, you can’t just take this stock transfer document from me without permission. Hand it back now."
Luna Williams tightly hid the stock transfer document behind her back.
"No, from the start, Grandpa intended for me to inherit everything. It’s only because I got sick that I was forced to let Hope take over. Now that I’m better, it should rightfully revert to me. The shares Grandpa transferred to you should, by all logic, come to me too. If it’s mine to begin with, why can’t I take it?"
Jade Bell was furious upon hearing Luna’s shameless reasoning, feeling her mind buzzing with anger.
"Inheritor? Luna, do you even realize the gap between you and Hope? From every angle—competency, intelligence—she far surpasses you."
"Besides, don’t tell me you’re still unaware of Ted Williams’ intentions? If you weren’t clear before, surely you should be now. He owns ten percent of the shares and holds the position of vice-president in the company. If you take over, can you suppress his ambition?"
"Do you know why, even with your grandfather in prison for over a month, the company has remained stable in my hands? It’s because I begged Hope, and I begged Waylon Lewis to help us discreetly. Otherwise, that treacherous adopted son would’ve flipped everything upside down long ago. Waylon can keep him in check—can you?"
"And one more thing, Hope is Waylon Lewis’ wife. Just because of that one fact, the company in Hope’s hands would bring endless benefits. And what about you? What can you offer the company?"
"And as for your illness, let me be blunt with you: Grandma asked the doctor, and the chances of your leukemia relapsing aren’t low. Luna, can’t you just live your life in peace? The company in Hope’s hands is nothing but beneficial, but if it goes to you, it would only bring trouble and harm. Do you even understand?"
Jade Bell unleashed all the words she had held back for so long, feeling that previously, she had refrained from telling Luna out of concern for her self-esteem.
But now, seeing Luna go as far as stealing the stock transfer document, Jade couldn’t hold back anymore.
Jade Bell stared intently at Luna, unsure whether laying out all these pros and cons clearly would make her see reason.
But evidently, her words only succeeded in angering Luna further, who already harbored resentment for Jade’s favoritism.
"You’ve said all this just to praise Hope, but you’ve never even given me a chance to prove myself. How can you be so sure I’m no good?"
Jade Bell furrowed her brows even tighter.
"Fine, let’s put aside whether you deserve a chance for now. But sneaking into my room to steal the stock transfer document—what kind of behavior is this? When did you start acting like this?"
Jade Bell’s eyes were filled with disappointment. She had already doubted Luna’s capability, and this act only solidified her viewpoint.
"Give it to me now."
Jade Bell stepped closer.
"You’re just going to give it to Hope, aren’t you? I refuse." Luna Williams hid the document behind her back.
Jade Bell grew angry, reaching out to grab the stock transfer document. "Luna, you shouldn’t be acting like this. Give it to me."
Luna Williams clutched it tightly, pulling with all her strength to shake off Jade Bell’s grip. "No! Let go!"
Jade Bell, no match for Luna in strength or agility, was abruptly pulled forward.
Luna Williams hugged the stock transfer document to her chest and shoved Jade Bell away before heading towards the door.
Jade Bell, clearly agitated now, grabbed Luna’s arm. "Luna, don’t make things worse!"
"Worse? Waiting for your charity is what makes it worse!"
With that, Luna Williams glared at her arm, which was being held by Jade Bell, and swung it with her full strength, forcefully shaking Jade off.
A loud "thud" echoed.
Luna froze mid-step near the door, her mind going blank as she heard the abrupt sound behind her.
Slowly, she turned back.
Jade Bell was lying on the ground, motionless.
"Grandma?" Luna called tentatively.
Only silence answered her.
"Grandma?" Luna called out again, cautiously stepping closer to Jade Bell.
"Grandma, what’s wrong?" Luna’s voice trembled noticeably. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"Grandma? Grandma!" Luna knelt down, reaching out to shake Jade Bell’s body.
"Grandma, don’t scare me... Grandma... Ah!"
Luna widened her eyes, clutching her head and letting out a piercing scream as she noticed a large pool of crimson blood rapidly spreading behind Jade Bell’s head.
Terrified, Luna dropped the document from her hands, trembling as she crawled toward Jade. "Grandma! Don’t scare me; what’s wrong? Wh... what happened? I didn’t mean to, Grandma... What do I do? What do I do?"
