“It’s me.”
Molly Walker admitted frankly.
Joshua Thompson looked slightly stunned and asked with suspicion, “How do you know someone from the ‘W’ organization?”
“Gillian Thompson has friends in that organization, so why couldn’t I?” Molly raised her eyebrows, her smile ambiguous.
Hearing this, Joshua Thompson burst into laughter: “There’s going to be a good show tonight! Let’s go celebrate her success together! If Gillian Thompson’s lies are exposed on the spot, it will really give me a good laugh!”
In a residential community in downtown Sunnydale City.
Michael Gallagher was chatting with Jake Leaford in the room, while Violet Summers was holding a tray of tea at the door, their voices clearly reaching her ears.
“Isabelle Richardson has been in touch with Noah Jenkins all these years, no wonder she was able to deceive everyone and give birth to Bailey Gallagher.”
“According to the findings, Noah Jenkins isn’t as noble as he claimed. If you hadn’t ‘died,’ he would have found a way to ‘revive.’ This time was an opportunity for him. If it weren’t for Molly, he might have taken advantage of it.”
Jake Leaford smiled brightly.
If Molly Walker and Noah Jenkins appeared at the same time, the company’s senior executives would certainly choose Noah Jenkins.
But now that Molly Walker was pregnant with Michael Gallagher’s baby, her worth was different. Coupled with her outstanding speech, she managed to prevent Noah Jenkins from succeeding.
Thinking of Molly from that day, Michael Gallagher’s eyes grew deep.
At that moment, Jake Leaford’s cell phone rang. Pickup up the call, his mother’s excited voice came over, “Come back quickly, there’s some good news concerning you and that Elizabeth Aitken!”
“What’s the matter? Mom, can’t you tell me now?”
“No, come back as soon as possible. This is a family meeting!”
Jake Leaford reluctantly hung up the phone, and Michael Gallagher said quietly, “You should go back first.”
He knew the importance of Elizabeth Aitken to Jake Leaford.
Apologetically, Jake Leaford put his cell phone into his pocket, rubbed the back of his head, and said, “I’ll leave first then!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked away quickly.
As the door opened, Violet Summers just happened to be carrying the tea tray, and after Jake Leaford left, she put the tea on the coffee table, looking at Michael Gallagher hesitantly.
Micheal Gallagher furrowed his brows and said, “Why haven’t you left yet?”
The sky was gradually growing dark, and he didn’t expect Violet Summers to still be here.
“I happened to be free today and wanted to ask you something in person.”
“Ask.” There was no expression on Michael Gallagher’s face, and his tone was indifferent with just one word.
Violet Summers’ heart was pounding, and her face flushed all the way to her neck.
She took a deep breath, mustered the courage to ask, “Do you still like Ivy Thompson?”
Deadly silence.
Michael Gallagher lifted his eyelids, looked at Violet Summers indifferently, his lips slightly curving.
Silence was equivalent to admitting it.
Violet Summers’ heart felt as if it was being crushed by a boulder, suffocating and painful.
Her eyes felt a bit hot, and her nose was sour. She wanted to leave, but jealousy kept her from moving a step.
“Mr. Gallagher, although I can’t find her real background, she is definitely related to our organization. Even I can’t mobilize people from the organization, but she can. Don’t you understand? Such a person is too dangerous, she must have other motives to get close to you.”
Michael Gallagher looked at her, his eyebrows folding with a touch of coldness, and his sharp gaze piercing into her bones like a sharp sword.
“Finished?” He stood up, “You can leave.”
There was no response from him, as though she was an irrelevant person, who had said irrelevant things.
His indifference was like a knife, cutting away the flesh of her heart piece by piece.
At the moment Michael Gallagher turned around, Violet Summers mustered all her strength to hug his waist.
“Mr. Gallagher ”
In just a second, the man pushed her away violently.
With a “thud,” Violet Summers fell to the ground, a chill spreading from her fingertips to her entire body.
Meeting Michael Gallagher’s fierce gaze, tears blurred Violet’s eyes as she kept apologizing, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gallagher, I was too impulsive.”
“I just feel sorry for you.”
“She just made a phone call, and immediately the leaders of the organization stepped in to explain for her. In all these years, such a bizarre event has only happened to her!” Thinking of Molly Walker’s connection with the organization, Violet was both angry and fearful.
She had deliberately investigated Molly, but found nothing. However, Ivy Thompson now easily mobilized senior executives of the organization to do things for her. This behavior made Violet wary and scared.
Violet’s eyes flashed, and her tone was ambiguous, “I checked, Ivy Thompson is not a member of the organization, but she is so close to our male leader ”
She didn’t finish her words, but they were enough to spark the imagination.
A cold laugh spilled from Michael Gallagher’s throat, his narrowed eyes filled with gloom, “I can judge for myself what kind of person she is; I don’t need your reminder.”
Thinking of something, a chilling smile crept across his lips, and his body radiated a terrifying cold, “You’d better not have any ill intentions towards her, otherwise I’ll take your life.”
Hearing this, Violet shuddered in fear and fell to her knees with a “thud.”
She knew he really didn’t mind having a few more corpses on his hands.
Having been cold to her for so long, she almost forgot his true nature.
He wasn’t just a charming man, but also a devil of a man.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses after Michael left.
This was her last chance, and she couldn’t give it up, nor did she want to.
Michael didn’t know that not being with him was the same as taking her life.
She wouldn’t be as foolish as Isabelle Richardson, using despicable means to keep a man.
She wanted to compete fairly with Ivy Thompson and let Michael know who was the most suitable woman for him.
As soon as Jake Leaford arrived home, he saw Mrs. Leaford standing at the door waiting for him.
“He agreed, your father agreed to let you marry Elizabeth Aitken.”
Jake was taken aback, first delighted and then vigilant, “Why did he suddenly change his mind? What did you guys do?”
“What do you mean ‘what did we do?’ Elizabeth did a good thing for you.” Mrs. Leaford handed him her cell phone, “Look, from now on, no one will dare whisper behind your back that you like men.”
Jake took the phone and saw a post from Elizabeth on eBay, saying that he didn’t like men and had been framed. She even said that she had been in a relationship with him all along and could vouch for him.
Mrs. Leaford took her phone back and explained, “We bought a trending topic to tell everyone that everything you did was for Elizabeth, including your engagement to someone else. It was all because we forced you.”
“Now public opinion is on our side, saying that you and Elizabeth make a great couple!”
Seeing Elizabeth’s eBay post, Jake’s heart sank.
“You guys didn’t force her, did you?”
Mrs. Leaford grumbled, “How could I force her? She did this willingly.”
However, Jake didn’t believe it at all. He hurriedly went to Elizabeth’s house, only to find the yard empty.
He couldn’t reach Elizabeth’s phone either.
It was only after asking a neighbor that he learned she had moved away a few days ago.
Jake stared blankly at the empty yard, his heart as cold as ice.
Elizabeth had left without a word, disappeared without saying goodbye
At the Thompson family’s estate, several cars slowly drove in.
After getting out of the car, Lily Turner looked at the surroundings with her mouth wide open in astonishment.
“This My God This is your family’s home?”
She had only seen such a large house on television. The mansion backed by the mountain was as luxurious as a palace.
Not only her, but even Xander Moore, who often moved bricks, was stunned by the grand scene before him.
If it wasn’t for his daughter, he would never be able to set foot in such a grand estate in his lifetime.
