Chapter 302: Chapter 301: Unspeakable Suffering

With her salary and position in the Thompson Group, firing her would result in a considerable compensation payout.

But leaving the Thompson Group, the most important thing wasn’t the money, but that she would no longer have the opportunity to interact with Daniel Thompson.

Daniel Thompson had a driver for all his trips, and it was difficult to see him unless you were collaborating with him or held a senior position within the company.

Thinking of her efforts being wasted, she sent a distressed message to Phoebe: Mr. Thompson, it’s not that I don’t want to come out, but I can’t open the door.

The excuse was far-fetched, it just depended on whether or not Daniel Thompson would believe it.

Just after Phoebe left, Daniel Thompson didn’t dare to raise his head, fearing Amanda Leaford would be angry.

However, Amanda seemed to act as if nothing had happened. Before long, Daniel Thompson discovered the reason: within a few minutes, Damian and his two brothers arrived at the hotel with Molly Walker.

“Nice place.” Joshua Thompson looked around with a smile on his lips, quite charming.

Amanda originally wanted to return to Sunnydale with Daniel Thompson, but he insisted on staying in Capital City a few more days, and was not willing to stay at the Leaford residence so they ended up staying in a suite at the hotel.

The reason they came was to invite Daniel Thompson and the others to join them at the Jenkins family’s gathering.

Michael Gallagher had become Zachary Jenkins, who in turn had invited them to a family dinner. Others could be absent, but the brother and their parents had to be there.

Their sister needed someone to back her up.

However, someone was clueless.

“Isn’t it inappropriate for so many of us to attend the Jenkins family dinner?” Nicholas Thompson glanced at Molly Walker with an awkward expression on his face.

The moment he found out Zachary Jenkins was actually Michael Gallagher, his feelings had plummeted, as if he had just experienced a bungee jump from the top all the way to the bottom.

Moreover, what made him even more uncomfortable was the fact that when his eldest and youngest brothers met Zachary, they didn’t seem surprised. This meant they knew Michael Gallagher was Zachary Jenkins long before!

And he found out nothing.

Thinking about how he had advised Ivy Thompson to consider staying away from Zachary and Jeremy Norman, his face went red at the time, burning hot at the thought.

Michael Gallagher was indeed Zachary Jenkins, their former brother-in-law. Even if he wasn’t a good person, he had saved Ivy, and was the baby’s father, which would make him a bit better than Jeremy Norman, and it was not his place to comment.

But if he had known that Michael Gallagher was Zachary Jenkins before, he would not have made such a fool of himself.

“Second brother, we are definitely going, whether or not you go doesn’t matter. After all, Ivy doesn’t treat you like her second brother,” Joshua Thompson spoke bluntly, laughed with an alternative proposal since Nicholas had thoughts of backing off.

Nicholas Thompson’s brows were tightly furrowed, his lips pursed into a straight line.

Others were going, but he alone was not allowed to go. It seemed like they were respecting him, but in reality, it became exclusion.

“Let’s all go. It’s better than people saying our family lacks manners,” Damian Thompson stepped in gracefully with a smile.

Thinking about the Jenkins family’s matter, Nicholas Thompson cast a glance at Joshua Thompson and asked, “You all knew about Zachary Jenkins’s identity, so why didn’t you tell me?”

“What’s the point of telling you? You’re busy worrying about Gillian Moore every day. Ivy has our elder brother and me looking after her, so she doesn’t need you,” Joshua retorted.

“Joshua Thompson!” Nicholas’s face darkened, “I helped Gillian, but Ivy is also my sister.”

Even if Molly Walker didn’t want to acknowledge him, he was still trying to improve.

“Why would you hide such a huge matter from me intentionally? Could I have stopped her from remarrying Michael Gallagher?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the walking Molly Walker stopped.

Nicholas Thompson held his breath.

Before Molly spoke, Joshua revealed with a hint of mischief and a cigarette in his mouth, “No one deliberately hid it from you. We all found out by ourselves. But now that you know, let us tell you something else.”

“Our eldest brother has more than ten luxury cars, all given by Michael Gallagher. As Ivy’s second brother, he has no reason not to gift anything to you. So tell us, how many cars has he given you?”

Joshua’s mocking and sarcastic tone, though quiet, was still audible to the few of them.

Damian laughed but said nothing, while Nicholas was left embarrassed.

Sending a car, Michael Gallagher didn’t even greet him at the banquet, let alone send him a car.

“Oh, that expression of yours tsk tsk, didn’t send a single car, huh? Tsk, oh dear, seems like they didn’t even have you in their sights!” Joshua Thompson feigned surprise and sighed.

Nicholas Thompson: ” ”

Joshua Thompson was mocking him. Not only did Ivy Thompson not treat him as her second brother, but Ivy’s pursuers also didn’t treat him as her second brother.

Seeing Joshua Thompson deliberately provoke Nicholas, Damian Thompson quietly kicked Joshua: “Stop being a smartass and open the door.”

Joshua snorted and knocked on the hotel door, which opened. Amanda Leaford saw them and smiled brightly: “You’re here; come on in.”

Daniel Thompson, who was inside the room, looked at them with surprise.

Amanda didn’t inform him that the children would come over.

“Amanda, this is ”

“Uncle,” Joshua cut in before Daniel could speak.

Daniel’s face stiffened slightly.

He knew that Joshua was taking revenge for the hospital incident.

With a smiling face, Joshua said to Amanda, “Since he has Alzheimer’s and doesn’t recognize me, let me just call him uncle, no problem, right?”

Amanda smiled but did not stop him.

Daniel was irritated deep down, but because he had “Alzheimer’s” now, even if he was upset, he couldn’t show it.

“Amanda, why didn’t you tell me when we have guests ” Daniel said with a flattering smile on his face.

“Our family is allowed here, but not outsiders?” Amanda’s words were laced with hidden meanings.

Joshua picked up on the subtle hint: “What outsider? Who came?”

Amanda replied with a teasing smile, “Phoebe Belmont.”

The atmosphere grew deathly silent.

“Phoebe Belmont?” Joshua’s face turned cold, “What does she want?”

The matter between Phoebe Belmont and Daniel had become well-known. Although they shouldn’t interfere in their parents’ affairs, Phoebe had caused too much trouble, resulting in chaos at home. Naturally, they had no good feelings towards her.

Daniel was full of embarrassment, but he still had to maintain an innocent smile: “She said she was here to report on her work.”

“What kind of work needs to be reported at a hotel ” Joshua dragged on his words, his tone relaxed, “It wouldn’t be a secret rendezvous, would it ”

Seeing Daniel’s face growing uglier and uglier, if he hadn’t forcefully endured it, he would have wanted to beat the brat up on the spot.

Were his parents’ private matters something he could ridicule?

Joshua’s lips curled upwards, his smile bold and wicked.

Didn’t Daniel have dementia? Then let’s stimulate him well; maybe he’ll snap out of it at some point.

Daniel was in a dilemma. Pretending to have dementia was his idea, and since he had played the part, he had to keep it up.

Even if his own son was ridiculing him, he couldn’t lash out.

Standing aside, Molly Walker hugged Amanda’s hand and smiled: “Mom, let’s go to Jenkins’ house tonight if you have time.”

“What for?”

Thinking of Mr. Jenkins’ actions, Amanda frowned.

“Mom might not know yet.” Nicholas glanced at Molly and said solemnly, “Michael Gallagher is alive.”
