“l think this matter…” Joshua Thompson raised an eyebrow, looking at Molly Walker, ‘E is feasible.’
Seeing everyone seem slightly moved, Molly Walker couldn’t help feeling nervous.
When she married Michael Gallagher, it was genuinely out of love. However, now…
Jeremy Norman was indeed not bad, but she really had no intention of remarrying.
Jeremy Norman glanced at her, felt her discomfort, and realized he shouldn’t rush things.
“l was just expressing my thoughts. There’s no need to make a decision right now. Life is long, I can wait. Miss Thompson can also take time to think, there’s no need to give me an answer immediately.”
Hearing his words, Molly Walker breathed a sigh of relief.
She had clearly expressed her thoughts, but couldn’t resist her family’s penchant for gossiping.
Before, she was just Molly Walker with a simple family background, and her marriage was her own decision. But now she was a member of the Thompson family, where marriages in affluent families like theirs were mostly related to interests. She was afraid that she would be married off again before she knew it.
The rest of the Thompson family also noticed her anxiety and did not continue the topic.
Seeing the atmosphere quiet down, Nicholas Thompson suddenly said to Daniel Thompson, “Dad, Gabriel wants to study with Mr. Cunningham. We should still have a spot available, right?”
As soon as he brought this up, Damian Thompson’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Joshua Thompson looked at him with greater dissatisfaction.
Why bring this up again?
Hadn’t they already decided to give the only spot to Molly Walker?
Why bring this up again in front of their father now? What did he mean?
Molly Walker raised an eyebrow and looked at Nicholas Thompson with interest.
She was not surprised that Nicholas Thompson was bringing up the matter again; she was merely surprised that Gillian Thompson wasn’t giving up yet. “Nicholas, you’re being unreasonable. The spot is already given to Fourth Sister. Is there a need to ask again?” Joshua Thompson said, sounding impatient, with eyes half-closed.
Nicholas Thompson pressed his lips together tightly.
It was Gabriel who had cried for this spot, especially after hearing that the spot was given to Molly Walker, she had even threatened to give up the surgery.
He was asking now with the hope that Daniel Thompson could find another spot, without considering anything else.
Daniel Thompson was also contemplating this.
In the past, it had always been Gillian Thompson who went for training. It wasn’t fair that she had no opportunity to do training just because Molly
Walker had come back. However, the spot had already been given to Molly Walker, unless…
He glanced at Molly Walker, but before he could speak, Amanda Leaford’s voice rang out:
“Since the spot is already given to Ivy, there’s no need to keep questioning
“Let Ivy go for the training. I’ll explain it to Gabriel.” After finishing what she had to say, Amanda Leaford looked at Nicholas Thompson and said calmly, “Gabriel is too dependent on you. You should pamper her less.”
Nicholas Thompson pursed his lips, cold eyes staring down.
With things reaching this point, he understood that any further attempts to gain something for Gabriel would be futile.
“l just received the news that the Gallagher family will hold a press conference tomorrow and a family reunion feast in the evening.” Damian Thompson forwarded a message to their cellphones, “Shall we attend?”
As Damian Thompson’s question trailed off, all eyes fell on Molly Walker.
The news recently showed signs of severe polarization: some had sympathy for her, while others criticized her.
Confronted with concerned stares from the Thompson family, Molly Walker smiled bitterly in her heart, yet her face betrayed no emotion. Her red lips parted slightly, she said softly, ‘Yes, let’s go.” Why shouldn’t they?
Not going would imply that she cared and was retreating.
Since she had let go, she shouldn’t fear the gossip and speculations from the outside world.
GO!
They must go!
“You mean…really go?” Joshua Thompson asked again, staring at her intently.
Molly Walker nodded.
“Then, we as a family will all go together.” Damian Thompson broke into laughter. Since Molly Walker wasn’t afraid, he wasn’t worried either. The Thompson family would attend in full force, to show their support and solidarity.
Jeremy Norman, who had been listening to the entire conversation from the side, gently said, “I’ll go too.”
If Michael Gallagher was throwing a feast, he should at least go and take a look.
The following day at Gallagher’s family suburban estate.
Michael Gallagher stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the vehicles coming in and out. His thoughts were filled with the phone conversation he just had.
“Mr. Gallagher, we can’t trace the month Molly Walker became pregnant. It seems like that information has been intentionally kept secret. That kind of information would be accessible unless their systems were hacked into.” The person on the other end sounded helpless. “Your ex-wife is quite unique.
Generally, there isn’t much we can’t find, but whenever we can’t, it demonstrates that they have stronger resources than we do.”
Niichael Gallagher’s chilling gaze seemed to darken as he uttered softly, “Understood.’
After hanging up the phone, Jake Leaford who had been sitting by his side, seemed puzzled. “Could the Thompson family be intentionally withholding this information?”
Considering Molly’s background, the only family that could be behind her was the Thompson family.
However, the Thompson family didn’t possess such capabilities to even control the hospital’s information.
Michael’s face was icy, his eyes slowly filled with a thick haze.
No matter who wanted to hide it, it was clear they were shielding themselves from him.
Jake Leaford looked at him with an inscrutable smile. “I’ve known for a while now that Molly was pregnant.”
Michael threw him a cold glance.
Jake Leaford shrugged his shoulders. “But I didn’t feel the need to tell you.
After all, the both of you were already divorced, and you already have a child.
You’re even now, no one owes anyone.”
“Do you know who the child’s father is?” asked Michael, his tone chilly.
“I’m not sure about that!” Jake Leaford replied helplessly. “The only person who would likely know who the father is, is Molly herself. But didn’t you say you two had never been intimate? So, the child can’t possibly be yours.” Michael remained silent, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Recalling Bailey Gallagher, Jake Leaford asked in a gossiping manner, “Is
Bailey the child of you and Isabelle Richardson?”
He didn’t expect that in such a short time, that child would be acknowledged and accepted as part of the family lineage as well.
“He is a child of the Gallagher family,” Michael Gallagher’s cold voice echoed.
A child of the Gallagher family – it didn’t necessarily mean the child was his.
Upon hearing these words, Jake Leaford suddenly made a conclusion. “Could he be…
He didn’t finish the sentence, but seeing Michael’s calm demeanor, he knew he had found the answer.
“Man…” Jake Leaford’s eyes reddened slightly.
The news of Noah Jenkins’ death had turned Michael Gallagher into a different person. He went from being an idle scion to a man burdened with the fate of the family. And now, he found out about the betrayal of his ex-wife.
Once he truly acknowledged Bailey as his son, he would be trapped by his family obligations, forever unable to escape. When would he be able to start living his own life?
Jake Leaford didn’t have an answer.
In the Gallagher family’s dressing room.
Isabelle Richardson pushed Gillian Thompson in a wheelchair into the room. Immediately, makeup artists began to approach them.
“Can these makeup artists be trusted?” Gillian glanced suspiciously at the makeup artists. The makeup artists in the Thompson family were hired at high salaries, and she wasn’t sure if the Richardsons could afford it.
Thinking about this, Gillian started regretting not bringing along her family’s makeup artists.
“Don’t worry,” Isabelle patted her shoulder reassuringly.
“By the way, will your brothers be coming?” Since it was Bailey’s family reunion, Isabelle naturally wanted as many people to attend as possible to ensure that Bailey’s status would be more secure.
Even though Michael Gallagher hadn’t mentioned marrying her again, as long as he acknowledged Bailey, wouldn’t marrying her be the next step?
This time around, Isabelle felt at ease.
“My second brother mentioned, our whole family will be attending,” Gillian stated proudly, lifting her chin, “Isabelle, them being able to attend is all thanks to my influence.”
Upon hearing that the entire Thompson family would be attending, Isabelle was extremely excited.
After the fight between the Richardson and Thompson family about their collaboration, many other companies took sides and cut ties with the Richardsons and ended their collaborations. If the Thompson family attended, it would greatly combat those rumors.
As long as the Thompson family was willing to take that step, she would be able to clear up her reputation.
“Gabriel, it’s fantastic that your family can attend.” Isabelle grasped Gillian’s hand in excitement, “l was afraid they wouldn’t come today to support Molly instead.. You’re truly remarkable!”
