Chapter 360: Chapter 359: Waiting for Her to Take Over the Organization
Michael Gallagher was playing with his phone, his gaze casually landed on Scarlett Jackson.
Scarlett was so nervous that she didn’t know where to rest her hands, her eyes flickered, not daring to meet his.
“Did you touch my phone?”
Michael’s voice sounded mild, yet his words brought a cold chill that was both threatful and icy.
Scarlett instinctively took a step back, her eyes full of panic.
“No, I didn’t touch it.”
Her voice even trembled slightly.
She didn’t understand, she’d been careful and quick, why did Michael realise so quickly?
Did he have x-ray vision???
Upon seeing this, Mr. Jenkins voiced his dissatisfaction, “She’s been chatting with Jerry the whole time, and she doesn’t even know your phone password, how could she touch your phone? Michael, you didn’t scramble your brain in the shower, did you?”
“If you say I touched your phone, do you have any evidence? Besides… I’m not interested in your private matters.”
Scarlett argued hard, but she was also very guilty.
It was all Ivy Thompson’s fault, had she not called, she wouldn’t have picked it up instinctively.
She really regretted it now, if she had known earlier that Michael was so sensitive, she wouldn’t have taken that call.
She glanced at the silent Jerry Jenkins, her body tense with nerves.
Mr. Jenkins looked at Jerry and asked, “Jerry, were you here just now, did you see Scarlett take your brother’s phone?”
Although Mr. Jenkins felt that Michael would not accuse without cause, he also didn’t want to misunderstand Scarlett, so he turned to ask Jerry Jenkins.
Hearing this, Scarlett’s heart leapt once again.
She didn’t hope that Jerry would speak up for her; she just hoped that he wouldn’t expose her. Now Mr. Jenkins’s words had directly pushed Jerry into the spotlight.
Scarlett pleaded at Jerry with her eyes, her lips clamped tight, her cheek muscles tense with strain.
Whether or not he understood her silent plea, Jerry suddenly smiled, that gentle expression fetching.
“I was indeed talking to Miss Jackson the whole time, I did not see her touch your phone.”
Upon hearing this, Scarlett immediately felt relieved.
Good, this Jerry Jenkins who used to be brainless, finally has a brain now.
“You see, even Jerry says she didn’t touch your phone, you’re making something out of nothing, wrongfully accusing people without reason.” Mr. Jenkins’s face was angered, “Apologize to Scarlett right now!”
“There is no need, Mr. Jenkins.” Scarlett stopped Mr. Jenkins awkwardly, afraid that the matter would escalate further.
She then looked at Michael Gallagher, pleadingly, “Michael, I really didn’t touch your phone.”
No matter if this matter gets exposed in the future or not, at least for the time being, she should confuse the issue.
Once everything settles down, there will be plenty of time to confess.
But her visit today was unexpectedly beneficial, as she found out about the problem with Ivy Thompson’s baby.
Although the Down Syndrome Screening may have false positives, that’s an extremely small probability.
As long as Ivy Thompson’s baby gets aborted, she can expose the truth regarding the “W” organization being the Jenkins family, then Ivy Thompson will be left with nothing, and Scarlett will hold all the cards.
Thinking of this, Scarlett had to pretend to be even more wronged.
Seeing Scarlett denying, Michael Gallagher’s thin lips curled into a mocking smile.
The cell phone had certainly been touched.
He had a good memory, and remembered clearly before he entered the bathroom, his phone was placed at a forty-five degree angle facing the door, but when he came out, the phone had been adjusted to a sixty degree angle on the coffee table.
Although the person who touched the phone deliberately disguised the phone interface and the order as before, he still noticed those small details.
He cast a cold glance at Jerry Jenkins, whose smile was pure and innocent.
Picking up a large bag he had packed earlier, he tossed it over his shoulder and headed for the door.
Seeing him about to leave, Mr. Jenkins’s face fell.
“Michael, today is your birthday, I don’t have many chances left to celebrate it with you, can’t you let me accompany you for a birthday cake today?”
Among his two grandsons, Mr. Jenkins felt more guilt for this younger one. Although Jerry was not the brightest in the past, at least he had not suffered much, he had been well protected.
On the other hand, this grandson, having moved from the Gallagher family to the Jenkins family, escaped from near-death situations several times, and had even gone through a divorce, he cherished him from the bottom of his heart.
He didn’t have much time left, and previously he hadn’t celebrated his birthday with his grandson. Now that the opportunity was finally here, he really didn’t want to see his grandson leave.
Michael Gallagher didn’t look back, replying indifferently: “No need, I don’t like sweet food.”
Especially since the cake was Edward Jenkins’ favorite, he didn’t even want to look at it.
Seeing him about to leave, Mr. Jenkins angrily pounded his crutch on the ground, making a loud noise: “Are you trying to infuriate me to death?”
“Fine! If you leave this door today, don’t think about coming back!” Mr. Jenkins’ eyes were red with anger, “I’m your grandfather, I wouldn’t harm you. Isn’t it possible for me to have a simple piece of cake to savor our family bond? If I hadn’t seen how gloomy you were when you returned from the hospital, I would not have even tried to reach out to you and invited you to share this cake!”
Michael Gallagher stopped in his tracks, and the room’s temperature dropped sharply.
Observing this, Mr. Jenkins snorted coldly: “Ivy Thompson would rather donate her blood to Jeremy Norman than celebrate your birthday, you’re not going to find her now, are you?”
“There aren’t many real relatives in this world who truly care for you. Those who were once here are now gone, and only your grandfather cares about you. How can you be so oblivious?”
“Michael, in this world, only your family loves you most!”
Mr. Jenkins spoke earnestly.
After Mr. Jenkins finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent.
Hearing about Ivy donating her blood to Jeremy Norman, Scarlett Jackson was so shocked that her eyes widened.
No wonder Zachary Jenkins seemed in such a bad mood today. He must have been dumped…
Mr. Jenkins’ words seemed to tear down the last shred of self-restraint. Michael Gallagher coldly glanced at his grandfather.
“I will not return to the Jenkins family. Please don’t meddle too much in my affairs.”
If Molly Walker choose to donate blood to Jeremy Norman, it’s her business.
He wouldn’t let anyone interfere in matters between him and Molly.
Mr. Jenkins had not expected that his words would cause his grandson to sever ties with him.
Watching him leave without turning back, Mr. Jenkins clutched his chest and coughed a few times; Scarlett offered her support.
“Mr. Jenkins!”
Mr. Jenkins sat down on the sofa and sighed as he looked at Scarlett.
“Scarlett, Mr. Jenkins is helpless.”
As Zachary Jenkins’ grandfather, he was not even considered compared to such a frivolous woman.
Ever since he found out about the pregnancy test result, he had been monitoring Ivy Thompson closely, but he never expected that she would donate blood to others despite being heavily pregnant.
With such a woman, it’s hard to say whether the child in her womb is Michael’s.
Scarlett immediately handed Mr. Jenkins a cup of hot tea and tried to comfort him in a low voice: “Mr. Jenkins is angry now. When he cools down, I will try to persuade him to come back.”
“Don’t bother. Once you’re in contact with those people, inform him about it, tell him about his responsibility and he’ll understand my good intentions.”
Whenever he thought about the business that his son had built being handed over to someone else, Mr. Jenkins was reluctant.
Fortunately, Scarlett had already established contact with the people from the organization.
When the token has been passed on and the organization takes over, Michael will return to the Jenkins family for his woman.
Scarlett nodded, and thought about the upcoming design competition, feeling a growing sense of excitement.
Soon, she will trample this woman Ivy Thompson under her feet.
So what if Ivy Thompson is an employee of the organization? When she’s the leader, even Ivy will have to listen to her.
Ever since Ivy helped Olivia Sawyer, she had lost a lot of face in the entertainment industry.
One moment she was talking about sidelining Olivia Sawyer and everyone was helping her marginalize Olivia, and then overnight, all of Olivia’s resources were taken away, making people in the entertainment industry fearful of her again.
But she had never imagined that Olivia Sawyer would win the favor of the “Big Boss”.
If she hadn’t investigated carefully, she might have missed the protector behind Olivia Sawyer.
No wonder one day Olivia Sawyer lost her resources, and the next day she was inundated with endorsements. The person behind her was the “Big Boss”!
There’s no shortage of beautiful people or networking in this industry, but what’s lacking is someone to protect them forever.
Olivia Sawyer went from having nothing to top-tier resources, which sent a significant message to the industry – Olivia was being protected, no one could touch her.
Between the “Big Boss” and Scarlett Jackson, everyone would of course choose the “Big Boss”.
This “Big Boss” not only has a strong financial position and official backing, but he is also powerful and mysterious, so much so that even she dared not delve too deeply.
Thinking about this all being part of Ivy Thompson’s network, Scarlett Jackson’s frustration was mixed with excitement.
This wasn’t just Ivy Thompson’s network, it was clearly the network of the “W” organization!
As long as she took over the “W” organization, everything in the organization would be hers in the future.
