When did she get on such good terms with the Thompson family?
Michael Gallagher’s face was cold and stern. He glanced at Molly Walker, gesturing for the bodyguard to let people in.
Joshua Thompson was the first to rush over, sizing up Molly up and down, his fierce gaze staring at Michael: “How come nothing good ever happens when she encounters you? Last time was a fire, this time she passed out. Michael Gallagher, are you some kind of jinx reincarnated?”
Molly almost laughed out loud.
Michael Gallagher’s face grew even colder. Damian Thompson stepped forward and patted his shoulder: “Mr. Gallagher, may I have a word with you?”
The man’s handsome face was gloomy, with a layer of frost in his eyes.
He took the lead in walking out with Damian Thompson followed.
With only her and Joshua Thompson, Nicholas Thompson was left in the room. Joshua Thompson glanced at Nicholas Thompson: “Why don’t you go out too?”
“Why? Are you discussing something that I can’t hear?” Nicholas Thompson pulled up a chair, sat down without a second word, “Just treat me as air, I promise I won’t interrupt.”
Joshua Thompson rolled his eyes at him and then looked at Molly: “Did you hear about the collaboration between our father and the Richardson family again?”
Molly nodded.
Joshua Thompson kicked Nicholas’s chair leg in annoyance: “Father is really confused. What good could there be in the Richardson family people? I don’t know what kind of love potion Isabelle Richardson gave him…”
“It wasn’t Isabelle Richardson who gave him the love potion,” Molly’s eyes drooped, thinking about Daniel Thompson’s words, she whispered, “It was
Gillian Thompson. She said that if the Thompson family cooperates with the
Richardson family, she would agree to have surgery.”
Nicholas Thompson frowned as he looked over at them, “Where did you hear this from? Gabriel wouldn’t do that; she had no reason to.
Molly just chuckled lightly without saying anything.
Joshua Thompson glanced at Nicholas Thompson: “Didn’t you say you would treat yourself as air and promise not to interrupt?” Nicholas Thompson shut up discontentedly. “Who told you this?” Joshua Thompson asked.
“Daniel Thompson.”
Molly closed her eyes, thinking of Gillian Thompson’s final decision: “Gillian threatened him with her leg injury, he said he had no choice. Before he signed the contract with Isabelle Richardson, I had already told him about her character and style, but he still signed it.”
Joshua Thompson fell silent, his eyes brewing with anger: “What does Gillian mean?”
He pushed Nicholas Thompson irritably: “Aren’t you always defending her? You should know what she’s thinking like a worm in her stomach. You tell us!”
Nicholas Thompson remained silent.
Joshua Thompson paced back and forth in the room nervously.
“What should I do now? Do I have to threaten my father by jumping off the building to change his mind?”
Molly thought of Harry Lambert telling her that the driver would voluntarily surrender tomorrow.
She asked softly, “Would it affect the cooperation between the two families if
Isabelle Richardson commits a crime?”
“Of course, it would have an impact, but the impact on the Richardson family would be greater. We can try to minimize the impact on our side,” Joshua Thompson leaned in gossiping, “Did you get the evidence of her harming your grandmother?”
“No,” Molly looked at his somewhat purple face and whispered, “I got the evidence of her harming you.”
Joshua Thompson: “F* *k”
Isabelle Richardson returned to Richardson Tower triumphantly with the successful contract in hand.
As she walked in the door, the people at Richardson Tower all looked at her with admiration.
Samuel Richardson even took her directly to the Board of Directors.
“Gentlemen, Isabelle has already obtained the cooperation agreement with the Thompson family. We don’t have to worry about our company’s profits for the next three years. From now on, our company’s single rest days will be changed to double rest days, and everyone’s salary will increase by fifteen percent.”
Samuel Richardson made a bold announcement, and the others gratefully looked at Isabelle Richardson.
A cooperation that could benefit every person in the company meant that the project was really big.
“We still have to rely on Miss Richardson, otherwise, who knows what would happen to our company.”
“That’s right, she’s no worse than her brother, not only worthy of being our company’s executive director candidate, but also Mr. Richardson’s daughter!”
People in the Board of Directors, who had fought alongside Samuel Richardson, were not stingy with their praise when they saw Isabelle secure the collaboration.
This was a cooperation worth several hundred million dollars!
There were many companies that wanted to cooperate with the Thompson family on this project, and the Richardson family was not the most dominant among them. Being able to secure this cooperation showed Isabelle Richardson’s capabilities.
With the Board praising her, Isabelle’s heart had long since soared to the top of her head.
As long as she could stand firm in the Board, no one could take her shares in the future.
However, she didn’t reveal her happiness on her face and stood gracefully to one side.
When they had said enough, Isabelle spoke up: “I have one more piece of news to share with everyone. I have privately gotten engaged to Michael Gallagher, and we will be married soon. With the support of the Gallagher family, we will definitely be able to break into the top three in Sunnydale.”
Upon hearing Isabelle’s words, the others were both surprised and delighted.
The strength of the Gallagher family was second only to the Thompson family, and even in some areas, it wasn’t inferior to the Thompson family.
If Isabelle and the Gallagher family were to form a marriage alliance, then the rise of the Richardson family into the top three was inevitable.
“Congratulations, Miss Richardson.”
“Congratulations!”
After the meeting, Samuel Richardson walked over to Isabelle: “No more mistakes can be made this time.”
“Don’t worry, Daddy, the contract has been signed, and Gillian Thompson has assured us with her leg. There will be no problem.” Although the Thompson brothers were all good, it was Daniel Thompson who was in charge of the Thompson family now. As long as Daniel Thompson made a decision, no one else could change it.
But her happiness did not last long, as a phone call came in. It was her virtual number, and Isabelle answered with a cold face.
“Miss, Charlie escaped…” “What did you say?”
Charlie was the driver.
Isabelle almost lost her grip on the phone, she stuttered, “How could you let him escape? Weren’t you supposed to deal with him?” “He was protected by a mysterious force, we didn’t have enough hands…” Isabelle held her cell phone, stunned by the news.
Seeing her pale face and trembling shoulders, Samuel Richardson asked,
“What’s wrong?”
Isabelle grabbed Samuel Richardson’s hand, panicking and desperate, her voice trembling and terrified: “Daddy, save me…”
“What’s going on?”
Isabelle told him everything that happened in detail. Once she finished talking, Samuel Richardson slapped her: “You fool, have you gone mad? How dare you mess with the Thompson family!”
Isabelle was slapped to the ground, holding her face, tears streaming down.
After colliding with Joshua Thompson, she wasn’t afraid, and when Charlie threatened her, she wasn’t afraid either. But when she heard that Charlie was missing, she was genuinely frightened.
She couldn’t even feel the pain from being slapped hard by Samuel Richardson, and after a moment of being dumbfounded, she said bitterly, “They said Charlie was protected by a mysterious force. Daddy, I sent 50 people to deal with him and he still managed to escape. Someone must be deliberately opposing us…”
Thinking of opposition, her first thought was Molly Walker..
