Upon seeing Michael Gallagher, Molly Walker frowned, her heart tightened slightly.
She cast her eyes down, her pupils inky black, the corners of her lips curling in a self-mocking smile.
She had no idea how long he had been there, or how much he had heard.
Michael Gallagher walked past her with an emotionless expression. Molly Walker stood there without moving an inch.
Passing by her side, he paused for a moment before continuing to walk on. Lana Lewis pushed Bailey Gallagher in front of him: “Let your dad hold you.”
Not wanting to witness the touching scene of a father and son, Molly Walker turned and left, not even feeling the pain in her feet.
Michael Gallagher stood there, his gaze firmly fixed on Molly Walker’s retreating figure.
Lana Lewis glanced at Michael Gallagher and said flatly: “Since things have come to this, it’s better to restore Bailey Gallagher’s identity sooner rather than later.’
She looked at her son with a hint of guilt in her eyes: “Initially, I really liked Molly, but I didn’t expect her to be pregnant with another man’s child. It shows that the bond between you two is insufficient. Now she is part of the
Thompson family and her family background has become more complicated. Bailey will eventually have to acknowledge his lineage. You should start arranging that.”
She sighed softly. Molly being pregnant with another man’s child was something she hadn’t expected. Molly was already recognized by the
Thompson family, making the possibility of remarrying very low. Now that
Molly is pregnant with another man’s child, she will probably not come back.
Hearing her words, Michael Gallagher’s pupils contracted ominously, his thoughts unreadable.
The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, Mr. Aitken stood at the Howard family’s door in a small alley in the Southern District, pacing back and forth.
The doorbell rang repeatedly. After countless times, Aaron Howard finally came out yawning.
“Who the hell is so fucking rude, disturbing us this early in the morning and disturbing our sleep!” Aaron Howard lazily opened the door, saw Mr. Aitken with a dark face, first took a step back guiltily, and then quickly remembered that he had divorced Elizabeth Aitken.
He was divorced, why should he be afraid of his former father-in-law?
“Yo, Mr. Aitken, what brings you here?” Aaron Howard looked at Elizabeth’s father, his words devoid of politeness.
Under Aaron Howard’s gaze, Mr. Aitken took out a black bag from his own and handed it to him: “There is ten thousand yuan in this bag. Consider it contract penalty for the agreement you signed with Elizabeth today. We’re keeping the house.’
Aaron Howard didn’t take it, he casually eyed him: “Did Elizabeth send you? Has she changed her mind?”
“No, she doesn’t know I came.” Mr. Aitken sternly said, “Take these ten thousand, it’s a fair deal.’
Seeing the unfazed and nonchalant demeanor of Aaron Howard, Mr. Aitken despised him.
If not for the fear that they would trouble Elizabeth, he would not give them a penny.
Aaron Howard looked at the thick stack of bills in his hands and raised an eyebrow.
He was indeed slightly tempted.
This was ten thousand, he now didn’t lack a house, but he definitely lacked money.
Especially when money was thrown at him, who wouldn’t be tempted?
But as tempted as he was, he feared Bella Howard more. If he took this money, Bella Howard would probably kill him.
“Mr. Aitken, this money is not enough to pay the contract penalty as per the agreement. The contract clearly states that the compensation is ten times the value of your house.”
As soon as Aaron Howard finished speaking, Mr. Aitken’s face completely fell.
What does he mean? Is he implying that the money isn’t enough?
“Don’t think I don’t know about you people conspiring with Elizabeth’s friends to cheat her. If you don’t want the money, don’t blame me for not showing you any favors. Do you believe me if I say I will call the cops?”
“Call the cops?” Aaron Howard laughed. Initially, he was worried about whether there was any trickery in the house swap. Hearing these words, his doubts were dismissed.
It seems that Elizabeth’s friend really did trick her, and it’s clear that Elizabeth was indeed foolish to agree to this.
This further cemented his resolve to swap houses.
“Mr. Aitken, if you want to call the cops, do it. Do you think I’d be scared?” Aaron Howard gave a chilling smile, “We are just following the contract. Even if you sue us, it’ll be pointless. I suggest you go back as soon as possible, or don’t blame me for throwing you out.”
Aaron Howard began to walk back. Seeing that the situation was not resolved, Mr. Aitken quickly stopped him: “Not while I’m here! Don’t even think about swapping houses! ”
Aaron Howard impatiently pushed him away. Mr. Aitken fell down on his butt, dropping the money.
Aaron Howard picked up the money, shaking it in front of him: “I’m taking the money, I’ll consider what you’ve said.”
Mr. Aitken quickly stood up, picked up a stick from the side and rushed towards him….
Not far away, Jake Leaford happened to be riding his motorcycle here. He came to the Southern District to take care of some business, and the navigation led him right here. He happened to see Aaron Howard fiercely beating an old man in his fifties or sixties with a stick.
Looking at Aaron Howard, Jake Leaford narrowed his eyes.
He would recognize this man even if he turned to ashes. This was Elizabeth’s ex-husband. Back when Elizabeth got married, he had thoroughly studied
Aaron Howard from head to toe. He was shorter than him, poorer, and uglier.
Yet, Elizabeth chose to marry such a man.
And now, Aaron Howard was even beating an old man incapable of fighting back. This made Jake Leaford look down on him and despise him.
Is this the man Elizabeth chose?
He gave a cold laugh and honked his horn. When Aaron Howard stopped to look at him.
Seeing the motorcycle, Aaron Howard’s eyes brightened.
As a man, few didn’t like motorcycles, especially such a cool luxury vehicle; it screamed expensive.
On one hand Jake Leaford walked towards him while taking his helmet off, on the other hand, before Aaron Howard could react, Jake swung his helmet at him.
Soon, Aaron Howard was knocked to the ground.
Jake Leaford quickly helped Nir. Aitken up: “Uncle, are you okay?”
“Who the fuck are you? Do you love meddling in other people’s business?”
Aaron Howard stood up, pointing at Mr. Aitken, “The old man was the first to hit me, it was self-defense.’
“Self-defense, I was defending myself. You wouldn’t agree to the deal and even stole my money!” Mr. Aitken was trembling with anger.
Cut short, Aaron Howard’s face turned black and white in an instant, “You have beaten me up so badly today, aren’t you afraid that I will take everything out on Elizabeth?”
Aaron Howard wiped the corner of his mouth maliciously. He was helpless against an old man, but was he helpless against a woman?
Hearing him mention teaching Elizabeth a lesson, Mr. Aitken’s face turned from red to white, his lips trembling, and his whole body shaking.
He knew that Aaron Howard, this hooligan, was capable of doing what he said.
Before Aaron Howard could take pleasure in his victory, his collar was grabbed by a hand.
“Who were you planning to give payback to just now?” Jake Leaford was sensitive to Elizabeth’s name. As soon as Aaron Howard mentioned it, he picked up on the keyword.
“Do you know Elizabeth?” Aaron Howard looked him up and down, a strange look on his face, “Are you her
Before he could finish, Jake Leaford’s fist greeted his face.
“Hey mate, let’s talk about it!” Aaron Howard covered his nose, groaning in pain.
He really wanted to fight back, but the man in front of him was at least a head taller than him and clearly a trained fighter.
Being who he was, he knew best when to retreat.
He could tell at a glance that this was a man he couldn’t afford to offend.
Seeing the anger on his face, and factoring in his mention of Elizabeth, Aaron Howard could roughly guess what was happening.
“What relationship do you have with Elizabeth?” Aaron Howard’s malevolent gaze fell on Jake Leaford, “No wonder Elizabeth wanted to divorce me. It turns out she has someone else now..
