No, he couldn’t have found out.
After that accident, he had dealt with everyone involved. There couldn’t have been any loose ends.
So what if Ivy Thompson discovered that he had been pretending to be a fool all these years? What could she find out?
Despite thinking this way, Jerry Jenkins had a bad premonition.
If Ivy were just the fourth daughter of the Thompson family, she wouldn’t be a threat. But she was in charge of “W”.
“W” possessed almost the entire nation, even the world’s top network of intelligence.
Everything was public on the internet now; as long as Ivy started investigating, she would eventually find out.
No, he must take control of “W” before that happens!
“Miss Thompson, the righteous need not fear the crooked shadow. The only person I ever wronged in this world was your cousin…” Jerry Jenkins smirked, his smile a bit unrestrained, “but the biggest regret is not having her in the end.”
“You…” Ivy’s cheeks stiffened with anger, and she raised her hand fiercely, slapping Jerry with unexpected speed.
The slap was quite harsh.
Jerry’s smile remained unchanged, just gently wiping the corner of his lips. His movements were smooth and appeared nonchalant.
“Miss Thompson, you can protect her for a moment, but not a lifetime.”
Molly Walker’s pupils shrank.
Jerry still had no intention of letting her cousin go!
He was still up to no good!
As expected, Jerry was rotten to the core.
“Since you won’t hand over ‘W’, I’ll just have to take it myself.” He straightened up and glanced at Michael Gallagher. “Sister, that slap was quite something. I’ll remember it.”
As Jerry turned to leave, he was stopped by Michael.
Before he could react, Michael threw a punch squarely at his face.
With a “bang”, Jerry fell to the ground.
“If you like to remember so much, remember this punch too.” Michael, tall and imposing, squatted down and grabbed the collar of Jerry’s shirt with a cracking fist. “If you dare to harm her or her family, I’ll fucking kill you.”
Michael’s voice sounded like it came straight from hell, cold and chilling.
Looking up at Michael’s face, Jerry instantly saw the murderous intent in his dark eyes.
Suddenly, Jerry laughed: “I know, you’re capable of that.”
Before, he had heard about Michael’s “illustrious exploits.”
In the Gallagher family, Michael was almost like a little tyrant, only listening to Noah Jenkins’ words.
In school, he fought, caused trouble, street raced – all those things that crossed the line for students. He had done it all.
But Michael was smart and had an eidetic memory. His grades were always the best in his class, leaving the second place far behind, even his teachers couldn’t do anything about him.
All the Gallagher family could do was settle things with money whenever he got into trouble.
Back then, he had only envied Michael.
To have such a wild youth and life was something he could never dream of.
“If you kill me, you’ll die too.” Jerry said with a faint smile, “My dear brother, do you want to go down together with me?”
Suddenly, Michael’s eyes grew colder.
This sentence seemed to stir up all his pain.
His most respected brother, Noah Jenkins, had once wanted to go down together with him.
And this “brother” abruptly tore open his long-sealed memories.
“If you dare to harm them, I don’t mind going down with you.”
Michael’s hoarse voice made Molly’s heart skip a beat.
Seeing Michael’s lonely, strong, and cold figure, Molly thought of Noah and was immediately moved to tears.
The news had always said her past was tragic, but the one who was truly tragic was Michael.
All the love Michael had once received ultimately turned on him.
As for her, she had her grandmother, friends, and colleagues to work with.
Although life was hard, no one had betrayed her.
It seemed like everyone was always betraying Michael.
Even Isabelle, who had once claimed to love him like her life, ended up falling for Noah.
Michael had always been alone.
That statement of “going down together” seemed more like a final cry to the world.
“No need to go down together.” Molly hurried to Michael’s side, grabbed his hand, and sneered at Jerry. “Some people, when doing bad things, will eventually be punished by the law.”
“In the light, all the evildoers will be exposed, and the good people…” She intertwined her fingers with Michael’s and gripped his slightly cold hand firmly. “Will be rewarded.”
If the good and the bad went down together, that would be too unjust.
She hoped that for the rest of his life, Michael could live happily.
And she would do her best to make it up to him for the regrets of the past.
Because she had once been drenched in the rain, she now wanted to hold an umbrella for others.
Feeling her concern, the cold expression on Michael’s face softened slightly.
Just moments ago, he had genuinely not been afraid of death.
But now, his thoughts had been pulled back and his reason returned.
He was no longer alone; he had Molly.
He still had to make her happy and couldn’t let her worry.
Jerry’s face quickly swelled from Michael’s punch.
Inside the suite, Mr. Jenkins had been resuscitated, and soon, the family doctor came to bandage Jerry’s wounds, but he refused.
“I can bear this pain.”
Only pain would etch it into his memory.
It would remind him not to waste all the efforts he had made to survive to this day.
He wanted “W” and he wanted Zoey Lambert too.
He couldn’t believe that the people of “W” would be loyal to Ivy Thompson forever.
Years of experience told him that so-called loyalty was only because they hadn’t been given enough money.
When it came to interests, emotions were worthless.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
“Hey, Jeremy Norman, how about we talk more about the matter we discussed last time?” Jerry’s voice held a hint of seduction. “Since we’re at it, let’s update our information… and maybe help your company out a bit.”
