Chapter 476: Chapter 472: You two are quite a match
“Scarlett, are you getting married to Jerry?” Molly laughed leisurely, her beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons. She crossed her arms, looking as if she was ready to enjoy a show.
Scarlett nervously took a step back and glanced at Jerry.
Jerry showed no emotion and didn’t seem to be interested in joining the conversation.
Scarlett bit her lower lip, feeling both nervous and scared.
Jerry’s agreement to their deal was reluctant in the first place. It was impossible for her to rely on him for help.
“Yes, our families have decided to unite through marriage. Congrats, Ivy, you can finally be with Michael without any interruptions,” she said, glancing resentfully at Michael Gallagher.
Of course, she felt unwilling to accept this.
Her situation today was due in part to her love-struck brain, and in part to Michael Gallagher’s influence.
Scarlett knew that Michael’s recent actions were his way of getting back at her.
“Jerry, really? Are you seriously planning to marry her?”
Molly’s words felt like a heavy rock crushing Scarlett’s heart.
Fearing that Molly might say something even more hurtful, Scarlett forced a smile at Jerry, “My grandfather gave us money to buy wedding jewelry. Shall we go first? I’m afraid the store will close soon.”
“You can go buy it yourself.” Jerry refused without hesitation, “I have other matters to attend to. Since grandfather gave you the money, buy whatever you want. Don’t shortchange yourself.”
Having said that, he addressed Molly, “Miss Thompson, may I have a word with you in private?”
Scarlett panicked.
If Ivy said something she shouldn’t have during their private conversation…
“Jerry, you should come with me to buy the jewelry. I need you right now.”
She couldn’t allow the two of them to talk alone.
She didn’t trust Ivy.
“Miss Jackson, we are only married in name, not a love relationship.” Jerry appeared patient, but in fact, he was already growing impatient. “Right now, the most important thing is to talk to Miss Thompson…”
“No need.” Michael stepped forward, blocking their way with a cold, mocking gaze. “There’s nothing worth discussing between you two.”
Jerry’s cheeks twitched, and he suddenly smiled, “Little brother, we may be family members, but being at odds like this is not a solution. I’m afraid my sister-in-law may misunderstand me, so I want to explain.”
“There’s nothing to explain.” Molly’s face was calm. “I saw what you did to my cousin with my own eyes. I even personally sent you into the situation. Jerry, there’s no way we can ever sit down and talk peacefully. Because… you don’t deserve it.”
“Of course…” Molly walked up to Scarlett, her gaze falling on the red marks on her neck that she tried to hide, “Miss Jackson, you’re no different. Seeing either of you makes me sick.”
Scarlett’s face turned pale, her lips trembling involuntarily, “Ivy, I hope you can be kind.”
“Ha.” Molly laughed, addressing Jerry, “There’s something you might not know about Scarlett. She…”
“Ivy!” Scarlett interrupted her loudly, “You’ve already taken your revenge on me, and my family has been tormented beyond recognition. The ‘W’ organization is yours now, and so is Zachary Jenkins. What more do you want? Do you really want to see me dead?”
“I know you’re powerful – your means, your influence, unbeatable. Otherwise, Isabelle wouldn’t have died inside.”
“If you want me to die, just say it. I’ll die right here in front of you.”
Scarlett was both ashamed and angry, trembling all over.
Molly curled her lips, her smile not reaching her eyes.
Scarlett was actually quite good at playing the victim.
Seeing the servants finishing their work and heading back to the villa, she seized the opportunity to get angry.
If an ordinary person witnessed this scene, they might think Scarlett was insufferably arrogant.
Unfortunately, Scarlett did not understand Molly well. Now, Molly no longer cared about her reputation.
“Die? That’s too easy for you.” Molly’s voice grew longer, “I’m thinking… I want to make you wish you were dead.”
Scarlett’s lips parted slightly, staring at her as if looking at the devil.
Living worse than death, it’s even more painful than dying.
She believed that Ivy Thompson could do what she said, after all, Isabelle Richardson was already dead.
If she had only hated and envied Ivy Thompson before, now she was completely frightened.
No wonder Violet Summers would come to remind her, no wonder Violet would tell her to pay for peace earlier.
This Ivy Thompson, who used to play the pig to eat the tiger, now takes timely revenge after revealing her identity.
In the past, Ivy Thompson had some scruples when doing things under the identity of “W”, but now that her identity was exposed, she no longer hesitated and became ruthlessly aggressive.
It’s really terrifying …
“Jerry Jenkins, before your marriage, I think there is something I need to remind you.” Ignoring Scarlett Jackson’s warning and nervousness, Molly Walker smiled, “After Scarlett took the medicine, she had relationships with more than a dozen men. You should get a pre-marital check-up before getting married, or you might catch diseases.”
Scarlett Jackson’s face turned pale and then green. She wanted to rush up, but was blocked by Michael Gallagher.
“But speaking of it, you two are quite a match.”
After finishing speaking, not minding Jerry Jenkins and Scarlett Jackson’s embarrassed expressions and the awkward atmosphere, she took the lead into the Villa.
Inside the Villa, the Jenkins family’s housekeeper welcomed them: “Young Master, Miss Thompson, Mr. Jenkins is waiting for you upstairs.”
Mr. Jenkins was sitting in the room watching the surveillance monitor, which showed the activities outside the door.
Upon hearing about Scarlett Jackson’s relationship with more than a dozen men, he frowned.
Just then, the door opened, and Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher entered.
Both are good-looking and a perfect couple.
Molly Walker wore a simple coat with a checkered scarf around her neck, and Michael Gallagher wore a dark coat, tightly holding Molly Walker’s hand as if nothing could separate them.
Mr. Jenkins’s eyes fell on their hands, and his eyes were slightly bewildered.
“Back then, your grandmother and I were just like you, holding hands wherever we went.”
Suddenly, Mr. Jenkins brought up the past.
Michael Gallagher’s face was expressionless as he walked over and said, “This time, we’re here to say goodbye. Today is the last time we see you, and we’ll explain everything clearly so that we won’t come back in the future.”
“You’re not coming back? What do you mean? When I die, are you not even going to attend my funeral?” Mr. Jenkins widened his eyes in anger.
His old bony hand slammed on the table: “We are blood-related, legally recognized family members. Michael, your grandfather has always had high expectations for you. Saying such things now is a huge disappointment!”
“You should save those expectations for Jerry Jenkins.” Michael Gallagher sneered coldly. “We are related by blood, but from the beginning, you never treated me like family. You merely treated me as a tool for the Jenkins family.”
Michael’s words were like a sharp sword, piercing Mr. Jenkins’s chest relentlessly.
Mr. Jenkins’s lips turned pale, as he gasped, “Michael, how many people want to inherit everything from the Jenkins family? I leave everything to you, and now it’s still not enough?”
“What’s wrong with being a tool for the family business when you’ve got everything from the Jenkins family?”
“The problem is… I don’t have it.” Michael Gallagher looked coldly at his biological grandfather.
He had been treated as a tool in the Gallagher family, and he had never received fair treatment in the Jenkins family either.
Mr. Jenkins ostensibly worked for the Jenkins family, but in reality, he worked for his own selfish interests. He wanted to save face when he met his ancestors and the deceased Edward Jenkins.
Not only did Mr. Jenkins want Michael to be a tool, but he also wanted Molly Walker to be a reproductive tool.
He would never allow anyone to manipulate Molly and affect her future happiness.
In the future, if she wanted to have a baby, then they would have one.
If she doesn’t want to, they’ll be childfree for a lifetime.
He didn’t care about any heir at all.
What he cared about was only Molly Walker.
Mr. Jenkins looked at his unyielding grandson and slowly closed his eyes.
“Since you no longer want to have anything to do with the Jenkins family in the future, then hand over ‘W’.” Mr. Jenkins’s eyes opened, full of brilliance. “‘W’ was founded by Edward. It has nothing to do with the Thompson family or the Gallagher family. This organization belongs to our Jenkins family.”
