They’re back to this topic again!
As expected, he didn’t have any good intentions following her.
Molly glanced at him: “Remarry who? Aren’t you dead?”
In everyone’s memory, Michael Gallagher was already “dead.”
Michael nodded slightly, his handsome face stiffened for a few seconds: “What about Zachary Jenkins then?”
“Who should the baby believe?” She started questioning him again.
Michael frowned.
“Think it over before discussing this issue.” Molly hooked her lips, waved at him, “Go home and take care of yourself, don’t leave behind a bunch of illnesses.”
She remembered the doctor being very displeased with him.
She didn’t know what he had done to suffer such injuries.
Seeing her turn around, Michael froze on the spot.
She didn’t refuse
If she didn’t refuse, does it mean she agreed?
Suddenly, a warm current flowed into Michael’s dried-up heart, and warmth filled his chest.
He still had a chance.
A chance for redemption.
Molly went to the outside of Daniel Thompson’s hospital room. At the moment, Gillian Thompson had left. Daniel and Amanda Leaford were packing up some things.
Seeing Molly, Amanda came over and whispered, “Gillian’s parents have been taken away. Nicholas says she was severely injured and wanted her to be hospitalized until she recovers before sending her on ”
As she said this, Amanda glared at Daniel angrily, “It’s all because of that white-eyed wolf you raised, harming me and now our whole family!”
Daniel’s face turned red in an instant, “What does this have to do with me? I don’t even know them.”
“The person with the crutch doesn’t look like me at all, she’s not my daughter.” After saying this, she stared straight at Molly, “You are my real daughter, aren’t you? You can tell from your speech and manners that you have been raised well.”
Molly looked at her indifferently without saying a word.
Amanda rolled her eyes silently.
“By the way, Ivy.” Amanda grabbed her hand, “I plan to take him back to Sunnydale. We have a family doctor there, and more people to help take care of him.”
Although Capital City had good medical facilities, there wasn’t much that could be done for Alzheimer’s except proper care.
Upon returning to Sunnydale, there would be servants to help, which would be much easier.
“Alright, you guys go first. I still have some things to do here, and I’ll go back to accompany you once I finish.”
The organization’s matters hadn’t been dealt with yet, so she couldn’t return temporarily.
Moreover, the design competition, for some reason, had been postponed. The competition would take place this week, so she wanted to wait until it was over before making a decision.
Norman family’s villa in Capital City.
In the luxurious hall, intricate chandeliers emitted a cold light. Endless corridors and doors interlaced, adding mystery to the paintings on the walls.
The housekeeper knocked on one of the doors, “Young Master, the other party refuses to meet with you.”
“Did we find out who it is?”
“No.”
Jeremy Norman, inside the room, put down his book.
The mysterious person who saved James Leaford didn’t show himself. Even though Jeremy had extended an olive branch, the man didn’t accept it. Was it possible that he was not from Capital City?
“Young Master, shall we reveal our identity directly? In this way, the other party may relax their vigilance, and maybe ”
“No need.” Jeremy frowned, revealing their identity would make things complicated if the Leaford family were to find out.
“Continue the investigation, but don’t scare them away.” He rubbed his throbbing temples.
Ever since this incident occurred, he had lost sleep, living on edge, as if he had committed some unforgivable crime.
“Don’t let others in the family know about this issue.”
“Yes, Young Master.” After the housekeeper left, Jeremy’s mother came out from another room.
She was wearing a long silk pajama dress, her expression changing.
What was Jeremy secretly investigating?
Thinking of Jeremy’s recent attitude towards her, she felt indignant and heartbroken.
She had only one son and naturally wished him well.
He was willing to become a father and insisted on marrying Ivy Thompson. She accepted that. All she wanted that day was to confirm Ivy didn’t cheat on him. Was that wrong?
She thought she was right, but Jeremy’s actions told her she was wrong.
Recalling that her son hadn’t spoken to her in the past few days, her heart ached.
She quickly chased after the housekeeper.
“What’s troubling Jeremy lately?” She coughed and asked seriously, “Tell me the truth, don’t hide it from me. Don’t worry, I won’t tell Jeremy.”
Hearing this, the housekeeper had a difficult expression on his face.
Remembering Jeremy’s words, he could only resort to a different explanation: “James Leaford claimed the Young Master saved him.”
After saying this ambiguous answer, he quickly fled.
Jeremy’s mother squinted her eyes.
Since she couldn’t get the housekeeper to talk, she decided to check it out herself.
At the presidential suite of the highest-rated hotel in Capital City, Samuel Richardson smoked a cigar while advising Emma Smith earnestly, “Jeremy Norman already broke off his engagement with Ivy Thompson, and tomorrow is Jeremy’s birthday. You should attend as my daughter. As long as you connect with the Norman family, you needn’t worry about the rest of your life.”
“I’m not worried now,” Emma grumbled and squinted her eyes. “He likes Molly, why should I insist on getting closer to him?”
“Not worried?” Samuel huffed coldly, “You’re not worried because your father supports you!”
This daughter of his was rebellious and never listened to his arrangements.
It was difficult enough to come to Capital City. They had to gain something.
He had dealt with the grievances between Ivy, but he’d also lost seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
If he didn’t earn some of it back, he’d be too embarrassed to return to Sunnydale.
“Enough, your mission this time is to find a boyfriend who’s worthwhile. Jake Smith will be in jail for several years as an accomplice. You can’t be thinking of marrying him once he’s released, can you?”
Emma showed no emotion, “Yes, I’ll marry him when he comes out. I told him I’d wait for him when he turned himself in.”
Samuel’s face darkened, “I disagree! You’d want a man who went to jail as your boyfriend, you want to embarrass me even more?”
“You’ve been in jail yourself, and so has your daughter. What face do you have left to lose with another son-in-law in jail?” Emma remarked indifferently. “You should be honorable and keep your promise. If you disagree, we can just break off relations and save you face.”
Hearing this, Samuel’s face could only be described as twisted.
“Why are you always against me? I’m your father; would I harm you?”
Emma rolled her eyes in her heart. It wasn’t known if he was genuinely good to her or not.
“I can go to Jeremy’s birthday party, but don’t think I’ll get close to him.”
As for Jeremy’s birthday party, Molly would definitely go too. She could directly catch up with Molly there.
Ever since the incident, she had become Molly’s die-hard fan.
Looking at his rebellious daughter, Samuel slowly calmed down.
He knew that she would never listen to his arrangements again, so why not make decisions for her?
Thinking about the scandals surrounding the Jenkins and Leaford families, an idea came to him.
If they couldn’t get close to the Norman family, then what about the Jenkins family?
