The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce

Chapter 328 - 327: Are You Guys for Real

Chapter 328: Chapter 327: Are You Guys for Real

Molly Walker looked at him approaching, with no expression on her face.

Instead, it was Emma Smith who was surprised to see Daniel Thompson like this.

This Daniel Thompson… was really acting convincingly…

Indeed, people would do anything for the sake of their reputation but once they no longer care about it, they would rather act like a fool instead.

If it weren’t for knowing the truth, who would have thought that the boss of the richest Thompson family in Sunnydale would pretend to be sick?

“Daughter, daughter~~” Daniel Thompson went up to Molly Walker, smiling, “Where’s your mom? Where is she?”

By threatening his own life, he finally made the bodyguard bring him to the Leaford family.

Facing Amanda Leaford’s “infidelity”, he couldn’t get angry, as he was just a “dementia patient” at the moment.

But he thought of an excellent way, which was to have a heart-to-heart with Amanda Leaford and then let bygones be bygones.

After all, both parties had cheated, there was no point in discussing right or wrong.

Molly Walker did not respond for a long time, and Daniel Thompson felt a little uneasy being stared by his daughter like that.

Ever since Ivy came back, she had rarely looked at him directly.

Now, this look was like looking at a fool.

“Ivy…” Daniel Thompson was trying to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by Molly Walker.

“Mom is inside, she’s in a good mood today, I hope you won’t upset her.”

There was not much emotion in Molly Walker’s words.

She didn’t want to play games and pretend with Daniel Thompson. Mom would feel better recently, but it was easy for Daniel to upset her.

She had no other requests, just don’t ruin Amanda Leaford’s mood, everything else could be discussed.

Molly Walker’s words made Daniel Thompson’s face change, but he quickly concealed it.

Thinking of Amanda Leaford’s good mood, the bottom of Daniel Thompson’s heart felt like it was being scratched by claws, aggrieved and suffocated.

Good mood?

After that photo came out, the whole world knew that he was cuckolded, and Amanda was actually in a good mood?

Could it be that she really considered him a fool, and started a new romance outside?

He glanced at Molly Walker, his lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing and angrily walked inside.

Amanda Leaford was indeed not affected by the photo incident and was leisurely drinking freshly ground coffee made by the servant on the rooftop.

After finishing the coffee, she lay down in the sun on a lounge chair.

As soon as Daniel Thompson entered, he saw the relaxed Amanda Leaford.

She was wearing a slim, thick, traditional long dress, with delicate gold embroidery on the Chinese-style coat, making her entire person look ethereal.

When she was young, she liked this kind of dress, which had an innate nobility. Now in her fifties, she still looked very young.

Daniel Thompson’s heart felt a slight move.

He walked up to Amanda Leaford and whispered, “Amanda, I’m here.”

Amanda Leaford was resting with her eyes closed, but upon hearing this, she slowly opened her eyes.

“How did you get here?”

Her tone was so bland as if she was talking to a stranger.

She was most suited to enjoying a light tea.

Daniel Thompson hurriedly picked up the cup and brewed a Pu’er tea for her, offering it to her with a smile.

Amanda Leaford frowned as she took the cup.

Daniel Thompson calmly spoke to the servant, “You guys leave for now, we have something to discuss.”

He couldn’t let others know that he was faking his illness. Pretending was one thing, but letting others know would be a separate embarrassment.

“Amanda, my relationship with Phoebe Belmont is not what you think.” Daniel Thompson looked at her steadily, “Just like you and Chase Jackson.”

Upon hearing this, Amanda Leaford couldn’t help but laugh.

“Me and Chase Jackson are the same? What are we to each other?”

She had already realized that Daniel Thompson was here to settle accounts with her.

Seeing his current state, he seemed to still be in touch with Phoebe Belmont, and she assumed Phoebe had sent him the photo right away.

That he could endure this long was truly extraordinary.

“Daniel Thompson, I have never betrayed you, but can you say that you’ve never had feelings for Phoebe Belmont?”

Amanda Leaford’s eyes were clear, as pure as untouched water.

Daniel Thompson’s gaze shifted, his face full of guilt.

Although he had never had a relationship with Phoebe Belmont, it was only a matter of time.

If it weren’t because he was afraid Amanda would divorce him, perhaps it would have already happened…

“Amanda, I just made a mistake that any man might make. Men are driven by their lower half, and the fact that I could control my urges is already a good thing, I… ”

“Stop talking.” Amanda Leaford angrily interrupted him, “Yes, you’re driven by your lower half, but it’s a shame I only saw through you after I recovered!”

“I thought you really had dementia, but I didn’t expect that you were faking it all along.”

How could the words Daniel Thompson had said be spoken by someone with dementia?

She could see that his mind was very clear.

And he even admitted that cheating was a mistake all men would make, which was simply the biggest insult to all men.

“What about you?” Daniel Thompson got angry as well, “Now the whole world knows that you’re a flirt, that you’ve cuckolded me. I’m an animal, but what about Chase Jackson? How much better is he for seducing someone else’s wife?”

“Daniel Thompson, just be disgusting on your own, don’t drag other men into it.” After Amanda Leaford finished speaking, her face was full of disdain, “You go back to Sunnydale, I will stay in Capital City from now on. We got our marriage certificate in Capital City, so when you have time pick up our divorce certificate too.”

When she mentioned getting the divorce certificate, Daniel Thompson panicked.

“Amanda, we still have a baby; you can’t divorce me! I’ve already told Phoebe Belmont that I’m going to fire her and completely sever ties with her. I admit that I pretended to be sick before, but it was because I cared about you!” Daniel Thompson’s ears turned red with anxiety, and he grabbed Amanda Leaford’s hand, anxiously saying, “I really didn’t have anything with her. She seduced me first. At that time, I couldn’t get any recognition from you, so I had ideas about her. But I’ve already come to my senses and won’t be blinded by her anymore.”

“I was wrong, I shouldn’t have trusted Gillian Thompson. She and Phoebe Belmont are in cahoots, and they both set me up with a honey trap.”

“Amanda, please don’t abandon me, okay? Give me some time to make it up to you, make it up to our daughter Ivy. We’ve been through so much, and we finally have the whole family back together. Look at me; I even swallowed my pride and pretended to be sick just to maintain the harmony of our family…”

It was only at this moment that Daniel Thompson truly felt despair.

How could he not regret it? His regret almost made him sick.

His wife wanted to divorce him, so what was the point of him guarding her all these years and painstakingly faking his illness?

However, Amanda Leaford simply wouldn’t listen to his explanation, her face cold: “Let’s get a divorce. You can have your Phoebe Belmont, and I will grow old together with my Chase Jackson.”

Hearing her mention growing old with Chase Jackson, Daniel Thompson’s breath hitched, his face turning from green to white in anger.

All of his previous words were made in anger and speculation, but when Amanda Leaford personally admitted wanting to grow old with Chase Jackson, his heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a hammer, his breathing becoming labored.

“You and Chase Jackson… are you serious?”

Daniel Thompson’s eyes were dull, his lips trembling.

“Yes.” Amanda Leaford admitted without hesitation.

Didn’t he say she was a flirt, and that she had cuckolded him?

Then she would grant his wish.

“Let’s divorce, Daniel Thompson. Our fate has come to an end.”
