Chapter 544: Chapter 539: The Atmosphere Reaches its Climax_1
 

Dion Rodgurez knew his daughter didn’t believe it.

Before this, he didn’t believe it either.

Molly Walker, who was lost as a child and raised by an old lady, couldn’t possibly have such a background.

But bizarrely, the woman who raised her was Stephen Crane’s first love, and she was Daniel Thompson’s daughter. All these coincidences combined seemed extraordinarily against the odds.

Such a person, I’m afraid, has not just ability, but innate luck as well.

“Molly Walker and Gillian Thompson are at odds with each other. By choosing to help Gillian Thompson, you are opposing Molly Walker.” Dion Rodgurez frowned, “I don’t want you to be against Molly Walker.

“So far, no one who has opposed her has had a good outcome.”

“So should we be scared because we haven’t had a good outcome?” Catrina Rodgurez was provoked to assertiveness, “Dad, should we be scared?”

“If we behave uprightly, why should we fear her? The world is so fair now. If we still fear these powerful people, will we have to keep our heads down in the future?”

Listening to Catrina Rodgurez’ words, Dion Rodgurez strongly disagreed, solemnly saying: “Gillian Thompson is not a person of integrity.”

After all, since he had heard about Molly Walker, he had of course also heard about Gillian Thompson.

A person who threatens others by threatening to jump from a building is naturally not of great character.

Catrina Rodgurez kept silent with disapproval written all over her face.

Gillian Thompson might not be a good person, but what about Molly Walker?

“I heard that she acknowledged every member of the Thompson family, except for Nicholas Thompson.”

If she doesn’t acknowledge Nicholas Thompson, he won’t acknowledge her in the future.

Whoever Nicholas Thompson helps, she will help.

Whoever Nicholas Thompson dislikes, she will dislike.

Nicholas Thompson was the man she liked and her guide.

She loved Nicholas Thompson and couldn’t bear to see him suffer any injustice.

“Do you know why she doesn’t like Nicholas Thompson?” Seeing Dion Rodgurez’s stubbornness, he sighed ceaselessly.

This daughter of his had her virtues, but she was too self-centered and easily blinded by things.

He thought going abroad would help her a bit, but she turned out to be the same as before.

“I don’t know.” Catrina Rodgurez pouted, “Probably because she’s jealous of Nicholas Thompson protecting Gillian Thompson.”

Besides this, she couldn’t think of another possibility.

Looking at his daughter, Dion Rodgurez felt she was too love-struck.

“Fine, I can’t walk your life’s path for you. You’ll learn when you get your lesson that right and wrong only make a small part of it, and there are many things more important than whether you’re right or wrong.”

The disappointment in Dion Rodgurez’s eyes stung Catrina Rodgurez.

It’s a lie to say she was not upset. She had always respected her father and understood him.

Her father seldom praised anyone this highly.

Could it be that Molly Walker was indeed so outstanding that even she and her father had to humble themselves to get along with her?

She looked at the woman who now stood under the spotlight as the center of attention, and saw her face for the first time.

Her delicate features were like the creator’s favorite. Especially those deep, quiet eyes, despite the crowds around her, remained calm and serene like a deep pond.

She was dressed in a short crop top, her long, slender legs exposed. Her figure was curvaceous, causing even women to be stirred when they looked at her.

No doubt about it, this Molly Walker was more of a fairy, a fairy who did not eat the food of mortals.

At the sight of her in person, Catrina Rodgurez finally understood why so many men were willing to put everything on the line for her.

Such a woman, let alone men, even she was moved by her.

And Michael Gallagher, who stood beside Molly Walker was dressed in a smart suit. He had an impressive bearing, attractive eyes, deep like stars.

This attractive couple naturally formed a beautiful picture as soon as they appeared.

“Thank you all for your adoration. Right now, we are at a Bidding Meeting, so can we have a good chat after the meeting?”

Molly Walker’s soft voice, graceful as silk, brushed past everyone’s ears, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Such a response could only leave everyone satisfied, since the most important thing today was the Bidding Meeting.

However, seeing Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher appearing together, everyone had a suspicion in their minds: this Bidding Meeting was probably already in the bag for the Gallagher family.

Molly’s presence alone symbolized that no one else stood a chance.

Seeing Molly and Michael, Ethan Hopkins couldn’t help but look discontented, yet Gillian Thompson remained calm.

With Catrina Rodgurez’s help, their chances of winning weren’t necessarily lower than Molly’s.

“Alright, the bidding meeting will now begin.” Catrina surveyed the crowd and said, “This bidding meeting will be conducted in a fair and open manner. If anyone has any ideas, they can take the stage with their speech drafts.”

Past Bidding Meetings were all decided by power and money, but this time, good planning was equally important, not just money.

After all, those who had come today were either wealthy or influential; money was not something they lacked. What lacked were ideas.

Molly glanced at Catrina, only to find her gaze persistently fixed on herself.

Molly froze for a moment and then flashed a small smile at her.

Catrina’s face turned instantly red as if she hadn’t expected Molly would greet her.

Noticing these small gestures, Ethan narrowed his eyes and turned to Gillian and asked, “Do they know each other?”

“Impossible.” Gillian was very confident. “Catrina adores my second brother and she must always be keeping tabs on his life. She naturally knows Nicholas doesn’t get along well with Molly. Given how protective Catrina is towards my brother, she wouldn’t deliberately befriend Molly. This must be their first meeting.”

Ethan raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly, his expression odd.

He had not expected Gillian to possess such cleverness, especially when it came to managing Nicholas Thompson–like it was some innate talent.

Were it not for Nicholas, Gillian might have been driven out of the Thompson family long ago.

As long as Nicholas was standing by Gillian, she held some utilitarian value.

“Ethan, don’t worry. Now that Catrina has said she’ll help us, she definitely will,” Gillian assured him, her face brimming with confidence.

Catrina’s feelings for Damian, along with her relationship with Gillian and her distaste for Molly, would undoubtedly drive her to get the job done.

However, Gillian was unaware that due to Dion Rodgurez’s reminder, Catrina had been wavering.

Molly and Michael Gallagher took seats in the front row. Not long after, members of the Thompson family began to arrive.

This time, both Damian and Nicholas Thompson were present. Soon after, the unassuming Joshua Thompson arrived fashionably late, escorting Riley Wallace.

Their appearance immediately escalated the atmosphere.

All three Thompson brothers were here!

With the appearance of Molly and Michael, some already wanted to throw in the towel, not even bothering to go on stage.

Who knew that the Thompson family would also arrive and even sit specifically at the Thompson Group’s table.

The Thompson Group and Gallagher Group were suddenly at an impasse.

So, who would the project end up going to?

Seeing the Thompson brothers all gathered around Molly, Gillian’s face was filled with jealousy.

The seating arrangement was based on the economic strength of Sunnydale. With the reputation of the Hopkins family, they could only sit in the last row.

Gillian could only see the backs of others’ heads when she looked up; she couldn’t see anything else.

Originally, she could have sat in the front row.

Seeing Gillian’s red eyes, full of anger, Ethan appeared remorseful, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault you’re in this situation.”

“It’s not your fault.” Gillian suddenly felt deflated.

If it wasn’t for Molly, she and Ethan would be sitting in the first row right now. If it wasn’t for Molly, this project would have been smoothly handed over to them by Damian Thompson.

But Molly just had to be the most unpredictable variable.

No matter, very soon, the project would be theirs again.

As long as Catrina sided with her, nobody else stood a chance.

Just as Gillian was filled with smug satisfaction, a gaze suddenly fell upon her. She looked up to see Joshua Thompson’s leisurely gaze on her.

Thinking about this terrifying man, Gillian shivered involuntarily.
