Chapter 385: Chapter 384: So This is the Truth
Jerry Jenkins clenched his jaw, his face turning a bit pale.
Originally, he just wanted to make things irreversible, but he didn’t expect problems to arise with Michael Gallagher.
The car was under surveillance, which showed just how far Michael Gallagher’s reach was.
“Ten years?” Michael Gallagher said lightly, “The Police Chief should investigate thoroughly so that the criminals can be brought to justice as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, and seeing Molly Walker and Zoey Lambert’s hateful expressions, the Police Chief understood that they had no intention of settling the matter privately.
For such matters involving privacy, if the parties involved wanted to resolve it privately, he could compromise. However, since the victims were unwilling, he could only handle it according to the law.
After all, he could not afford to offend any of the people standing here.
“Jerry Jenkins will stay here, and the others can leave after completing their statements.” After saying this, the Police Chief walked up to Zoey Lambert, “Miss Leaford, please rest assured that we will ensure that everything that follows is carried out fairly and legally. You will not suffer any further injustice.”
Zoey Lambert nodded with red eyes, not daring to look at Jerry Jenkins, gritting her teeth and saying, “I don’t intend to settle this privately. Please don’t let such a pervert go.”
“Don’t worry.”
A few strands of anger appeared on Jerry Jenkins’ calm face. He originally wanted to say something but eventually stood still and sent a message to Mr. Jenkins.
If he stayed here, he would end up in jail.
Only by leaving could he find a way to suppress this matter.
Molly Walker and Zoey Lambert left the Police Station.
At the entrance of the Police Station, Zoey Lambert shyly smiled, “Thank you all for today. I don’t know what would have happened otherwise.”
Just thinking about what Jerry Jenkins did made Zoey Lambert shudder.
Jerry Jenkins was good-looking and came from a decent family background, but she never thought he would be so perverted.
“You guys should go ahead, I can go back by myself.” Zoey Lambert knew that Michael Gallagher and Molly Walker were having conflicts and wanted to give them some time to be alone together.
“No need, Cousin. I’ll take you home.” Molly Walker knew what she meant and refused without hesitation.
She and Michael Gallagher had nothing to talk about and even if they did, it should have been done a long time ago, not just now.
She was grateful for Michael Gallagher’s help, but that didn’t mean she could forgive his sudden departure.
Harry Lambert raised his eyebrows and glanced at the cold-faced Michael Gallagher, also recalling the day he left abruptly.
Intuition told him that something had happened between Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher.
In the past, he had thought about keeping the Big Boss by his side and within the organization, but later, Michael Gallagher’s self-sacrifice made him realize that even being the Big Boss’s assistant for a lifetime wouldn’t be bad.
If he couldn’t give her happiness, then he would watch her be happy.
But Michael Gallagher’s sudden departure also angered Harry Lambert.
“Let’s go together. By the way, Michael Gallagher…” Harry Lambert chuckled, “Didn’t you leave quite decisively before? How come you’re glued to her now?”
Michael Gallagher pursed his lips and remained silent, staring fixedly at Molly Walker.
Molly Walker looked up and finally lowered her eyelashes.
On the day of the competition, she had been taken advantage of and felt vulnerable, while he had gone to the Jenkins family’s car.
“Let’s go.”
Seeing that Michael Gallagher had no intention of explaining, Molly Walker was somewhat tired.
Love is a two-way street, and she found guessing back and forth too troublesome.
Molly Walker walked forward, and Harry Lambert frowned at Michael Gallagher, “If there is any misunderstanding, you should talk about it. Remember that you have a mouth.”
Michael Gallagher watched Molly Walker quickly walking forward, obviously angry.
An urge surged up inside him, and he strode forward, grabbing Molly Walker’s wrist.
“Wait.” His magnetic voice was low and husky, like the low hum of a cello, “I have something to ask you.”
Molly Walker stopped, and then shook off his hand.
“Mr. Gallagher, please show some respect. We’re not husband and wife right now.”
The words “not husband and wife” were like a steel knife, piercing his heart.
Indeed, they were not husband and wife, as they had already divorced.
“Was there a deal behind our marriage?” Michael Gallagher asked in a low voice, gripping her shoulders, “When you married me, did you have another purpose?”
Molly Walker suddenly looked up, her heart pounding.
“Did you use our marriage as a stepping stone?”
One question after another, stirring Molly Walker’s heart to sink heavily.
She didn’t expect Michael Gallagher to be angry with her because of this matter.
But what could she say?
Should she tell him that her Master promised her that as long as she married Michael for three years, he would hand over the organization to her?
The marriage was real.
The deal was also real.
Molly Walker lowered her eyes.
Michael Gallagher’s heart sank, and his last sliver of hope also shattered.
“Is it true?”
She really used him as a stepping stone!
If he had no feelings for her, he wouldn’t care about being used. But once he had invested emotions, he couldn’t accept any deals or benefits.
Molly Walker clenched her teeth, her eyes reddening.
“When I married you, there indeed was another reason.” She took a deep breath and calmly explained, “I didn’t know you and didn’t care about money. The only possible reason for me to agree to marry you would be something other than money.”
“Being my assistant, saying you wanted a home, voluntarily giving me your background, and providing information to the intermediary – were all these your plans?” Michael Gallagher’s lips curled, and the light in his eyes was completely extinguished.
Thinking of the meticulous plans she had made in order to marry him, Molly Walker nodded.
Since she had promised her Master, she needed to play her part well.
Michael Gallagher’s secret marriage for the sake of the Gallagher family’s precarious company, and her promise to marry him while accompanying him through the toughest two years, were both voluntary beginnings on their part.
However, Michael Gallagher didn’t know that the Master had seduced her with the entire organization.
At that time, she had no choice but to marry Michael out of gratitude.
Michael Gallagher lowered his head with a faint smile, the cold curve of his mouth emerging: “How many years did you agree to marry me?”
“Two years.”
“So on the third marriage anniversary, you couldn’t wait to divorce me?” Michael Gallagher’s pale lips seemed devoid of blood, and his words were as sharp as knives, “For your goal, you were really willing to make sacrifices.”
Molly Walker’s breathing hitched, and it felt like a stabbing pain in her heart: “I didn’t…!”
“I suppose you’ve received your reward for marrying me, right?” The thought that their marriage had been just a deal made Michael Gallagher feel like a fool.
He had been thinking about how she had no relatives, and fearing that she might be bullied or secretly “handled” by others, he had been quietly planning everything for her behind the scenes.
She liked design, so he had deliberately given importance to the Design Department.
She wanted to participate in competitions, so he had made an exception to let the Gallagher Group participate in competitions with their name.
He was willing to give everything for her, even his life.
Because he liked her.
As long as it was something she liked, he was willing to try.
After all, she was his wife.
But he never imagined that her marriage to him was just using him as a stepping stone!
He didn’t believe it when Scarlett Jackson said it, nor did he believe his grandfather when he said it.
But now, her close connection with the “W” organization had revealed everything.
She used their marriage to make a deal with Edward Jenkins.
“Edward Jenkins, what did he promise you?” Michael Gallagher hoarsely asked, gathering his last strength.
