“It seems I have underestimated you!” As soon as he finished speaking, he took the contract from Phoebe’s hand and quickly signed it.
Seeing his action, Phoebe’s hand trembled, and thinking of the clauses in the contract, her face turned ashen.
She never expected that she would end up tricking herself in the end.
“Mr. Thompson, I’ll step out for a moment.” She tried to control her composure and quickly walked out, then hurriedly made a phone call, “Change the demolition site to the Southern District.’
“Don’t ask why, because I want to do this job well!”
Signing the contract meant she had to be responsible for the project. If there were any problems, she couldn’t afford the contract penalties even if she handed over all of her family’s assets for generations.
She could only work hard, not daring to have any personal intentions. Only in this way, if something went wrong, she would at least be blameless.
Thinking of the loss to herself and her family, Phoebe’s eyes turned red, and she choked back tears.
From now on, she wouldn’t be able to hold her head up among her family members.
She looked up at the ceiling and held back the tears in her eyes.
Forget it, compared to those terrible clauses, this was nothing…
Molly and Daniel’s conversation had also ended unhappily.
Watching Daniel leave, Molly couldn’t say that she didn’t care at all.
She looked at her palm, clenched her fist, and forced a bitter smile. She also longed for fatherly love, but some feelings were like sand, slipping through the cracks no matter how tightly you hold onto them.
Just like her relationship with Michael.
She closed her eyes and shook off the vexation in her mind.
After being forced to sign the contract, Phoebe quickly set aside her personal intentions. When Elizabeth informed her that she had received the notice of demolition, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, only by linking this project with Phoebe’s personal interests would she be motivated to plan it well.
This project affected the cityscape of Sunnydale City, not only concerning the Thompson family but also various aspects of the city. Even if she didn’t take over the project, she didn’t want to see Phoebe profiting from it.
“Molly, you didn’t see my dad’s reaction when he heard the news; he hugged me and cried. I almost laughed to death.” Elizabeth’s words were full of joy. After listening to Molly’s advice last time, she not only used all her money to buy houses here but also borrowed money from colleagues and friends to buy two more.
At the beginning, when she learned that the demolition site was in the East
City District, she was both nervous and under pressure, but she didn’t tell Molly any of her concerns. Now, all her worries were gone, and she had made several times her investment.
“Thank you, my dear sister, for making me rich.”
Molly smiled and said, “l didn’t do anything; I’m not the person in charge of the project now.”
“You’re not?” Elizabeth opened her mouth in surprise, but wisely didn’t ask any further questions.
After a few seconds, Elizabeth calmly said, “Aaron is here. He must have come to cause trouble after hearing about the demolition. I’ll hang up now.”
Elizabeth quickly hung up the phone.
Thinking of the elderly and children at the Aitken family’s home and Aaron’s character, Molly couldn’t help but worry.
Just in case, under the influence of money, people might do anything.
She hurriedly sent a message to No. 4: Get some people in Sunnydale City to help Elizabeth. Go to Riverside Road No. 68 in the Southern District. Do it right now! Hurry up!
Seeing No. 41 s message saying “okay,” Molly sighed quietly.
Since that incident, she had bypassed Harry Lambert and contacted No. 4 directly.
There were hundreds of text messages from No. 6 below No. 41 s messages. She didn’t open any of them.
She had thought that Harry Lambert was just joking before, but she didn’t expect him to announce on social media that he was the baby’s father.
Once this matter started, it would be hard to undo. She hadn’t figured out how to face him yet.
Just as she was about to close her phone, a new message from Harry Lambert arrived: Isabelle Richardson met with Jake Smith at the apartment complex across from the third hospital.
She didn’t open this message either, but because it was newly sent, the message jumped to the top, and she saw its content clearly.
Isabelle Richardson met with Jake Smith?
Without thinking, Molly looked towards the apartment complex across from the hospital.
On the opposite side was an old Western-style house, its walls covered with climbing vines, giving it a sense of age and history.
In Gillian Thompson’s hospital room, after the doctor finished various examinations and left, Phoebe told her about the contract.
Gillian Thompson’s face was expressionless. “l told you before that Molly wasn’t someone to be trifled with. But you insisted on using that yin-yang contract, and now you got yourself caught in the trap. Serves you right.”
Phoebe sighed helplessly, “What should we do then? You said before that there would be a friend from the ‘W’ organization to help you; is this true? I convinced those old stubborn men based on that. Don’t you trick me.”
“Don’t worry; I’m sure my friend is from the ‘W’ organization, and she’s even a team leader there. She told me that she would help me on behalf of their organization. Just let me handle it.” Thinking of that friend, Gillian Thompson smirked proudly.
The headquarters of the “W” organization was abroad, with many talented people and numerous resources. Having money, power, and mysterious legends about their organization, everyone wanted to win their favor.
Once they reached their level, they mingled in exclusive circles, and having connections with people from the “W” organization would mean no one would dare to mess with her future projects.
As for Molly…
Gillian Thompson sneered.
So what if she was Ivy Thompson? She lost in terms of social circles and could never catch up with her.
At the Thompson family’s estate, Daniel entered with a furious expression on his face.
He happened to encounter Damian Thompson and Joshua Thompson in the hall. Seeing these two, Daniel’s face darkened instantly, “What are you two doing here instead of being at the company?”
Before they could answer, Daniel continued, “If you’re here to talk about your sister, I’m just about to inform you that she’s given up her shares in the family.”
Hearing that Molly had given up her shares, Joshua frowned and asked coldly, “She gave up, and you agreed? Would you agree if she said she didn’t recognize you as her father?”
Enraged, Daniel shouted, “You guessed it, she doesn’t want to acknowledge me, she’d rather give up her shares than change her surname. This is my own daughter! She’s worse than an adopted one!”
Joshua snorted coldly, “And you? You treat an adopted daughter better than your own. People who don’t know would think Gabriel is your illegitimate daughter.”
“You bastard!” Daniel picked up an antique vase nearby and threw it at Joshua,
“Do you want to give up your shares, too? If so, get lost! Without the Thompson familys halo, you’re nothing!’
Hearing this, Joshua’s face turned cold instantly.
Seeing the situation deteriorate, Damian Thompson quickly held back Joshua and said to Daniel, “Dad, you really messed up on this. First, you forced Molly to take on the project, and now you’re taking it away from her again.. How will the people in the company look at her?”
