“Alive?” Amanda Leaford didn’t react in time.
“It’s true that she blocked danger for Fourth Sister, but her death is fake,” Joshua Thompson continued.
“You mean Michael Gallagher isn’t dead?” Amanda froze, then smiled, “Really? That’s good news if he’s alive!”
Although Michael and Isabelle had some past, him being alive was better than him being dead. Otherwise, her daughter would have to carry the guilt of taking a life for the rest of her life.
Thinking about Ivy and Jeremy Norman’s annulment, Amanda suddenly understood.
“No wonder you annulled your marriage with Jeremy Norman. Did you know he was still alive and that’s why you couldn’t accept Jeremy?”
Molly Walker shook her head, “Actually, I knew Michael was alive a long time ago, but I wasn’t sure, so I had Jeremy act out this play.”
When Michael was alive, he said he couldn’t accept his child calling another man Father.
She knew the baby was his weakness.
So she used this weakness to force him to show himself.
“Why didn’t he tell us he was alive?” Amanda had some doubts about her former son-in-law.
After getting better, she had thoroughly investigated Michael and Ivy’s past. She even specifically found the Gallagher family’s servant to find out how Ivy had lived these years since getting married. Fortunately, Ivy’s mother-in-law was nice, and her days in the Gallagher family were leisurely. Although there were always some news about Michael’s scandals outside, he never seemed to admit them.
As for Isabelle
Amanda worriedly looked at her daughter, “What’s going on between him and Isabelle, really?”
Although the Leaford’s young man had explained in the hospital that Michael took care of Isabelle because of guilt, she was still afraid Ivy was being deceived.
The words Michael said to Isabelle when he visited her in jail surfaced in Molly’s mind.
People in guilt would have the psychology of compensation and making up for their mistakes. Perhaps, that was a way for Michael to heal himself.
Losing a loved one is painful, especially under the double blame from parents. The suicide of Michael’s father made him carry the guilt of two lives.
Molly explained the grievances between Michael, Isabelle, and Noah Jenkins to them.
“That child is also pitiful,” Amanda sighed mournfully. It was cruel to blame the death of one child on the other. In the end, the suicide had made Michael regretful for the rest of his life, which was too unfair for him.
Hearing the grievances between Michael, Noah, and Isabelle, Joshua Thompson sneered, wanting to say something but eventually closed his mouth.
If it were him, he might even be more insane than Michael.
“If Noah had indeed died, it would have been fine. But now he’s still alive and stabbed Michael in the back ” Nicholas Thompson thought of the press conference held by Noah. If it were him, he might not have been able to remain as calm as Michael with his most respected brother coming back from death and almost harvesting his organs.
The heavy topic became a boulder, weighing on everyone’s hearts.
“It’s all in the past,” Molly smiled gracefully.
At least Michael didn’t turn bad but was just healing his wounds in silence.
“He not only saved me but also saved my uncle. He said this family dinner is essential to him. We will attend it, at least to let him not be so lonely,” said Molly.
She could still vividly recall the confrontation between Mr. Jenkins and Michael. For Michael, his real family should be in the Gallagher family.
But those family members had already betrayed him.
Molly touched her belly, thinking about the steadily growing baby inside, feeling a slight warmth in her heart. Luckily, the baby was Michael’s close relative, so in this vast world, he would no longer be alone.
As long as someone had a concern, they wouldn’t be lonely.
“Since we are going to the Jenkins’ family, let’s leave together,” Daniel Thompson said. He didn’t know when, but he had changed into a suit and tidied up his clothes.
Seeing the others looking at him, Daniel raised his eyebrows, “What’s wrong? Is this dress not suitable?”
“It’s not that the dress isn’t suitable; it’s that you are not suitable there,” Joshua Thompson sneered. “You have Alzheimer’s now, and you’re not suitable for this kind of banquet, right?”
Daniel Thompson: ” ”
“Dad, you can stay at the hotel. Our family’s bodyguards have arrived in Capital City and are currently in this hotel. Even if you have an illness, there won’t be any safety issues,” Damian Thompson adjusted his glasses and smiled amiably but with a deep meaning.
Daniel Thompson was choked with anger.
The whole family would attend the banquet, but he wouldn’t?
He just happened to be in the role of a “patient”, and the suffering he felt was indescribable.
As they left, Daniel Thompson opened his mouth, his face turning red and white.
Before leaving, Damian Thompson really did instruct the bodyguards standing outside, “Don’t let anyone in casually, follow Mr. Thompson wherever he goes.”
The bodyguards, dressed in black clothes and sunglasses, stood in a row and nodded solemnly when they heard this.
The warm sun of winter shone on the luxurious hotel, where colorful lights were wrapped around the branches outside the hotel entrance.
In a black BMW coupe on the bustling street, Emma Smith, dressed in a beautiful dress, was nestled in the car seat. Her makeup was delicate, but her face wasn’t looking good.
Meanwhile, Samuel Richardson and Mr. Jenkins were having a friendly video call next to her, sometimes moving the cell phone in front of Emma for Mr. Jenkins to see her.
“Although my daughter doesn’t see me much, she has a good temperament. She and your family’s Jerry Jenkins should become good friends,” Samuel said with a flattering smile.
“As long as they can be friends, it’s good. Our Jerry doesn’t have many friends,” Mr. Jenkins replied with a grin.
In a few words, the two seemed to have reached some agreement.
Hearing this, Emma’s heart sank.
Samuel Richardson was really planning to marry her off to the Jenkins family’s fool!
