He knew there was something wrong, but he hadn’t looked into it deeply.
Since Molly brought it up, he had no choice but to investigate.
Seeing Damian’s bitter smile, Molly lowered her head.
Although using him to investigate made her feel guilty, to be honest, if Damian had refused, she would have felt very upset.
She dug a huge pit for herself.
Just as she was struggling, Damian finally spoke: “Well, I’ll investigate this thoroughly.”
Once it involved his mother’s safety, it was no longer a small matter.
Thinking of Joshua’s car accident last time, she wanted to remind him again, but seeing Damian’s somewhat tired expression, she eventually held her tongue.
Some things couldn’t be rushed, and Gillian’s status in the Thompson family was too significant. If any issues were discovered in the investigation, it would strike all the Thompson family members.
Maybe she had to confront Gillian and question her personally.
Before she could go find Gillian, Gillian came looking for her own accord.
Just after Damian left, a nurse knocked on Molly’s door.
“Miss Walker, Miss Thompson asked me to message you. She said she needs to discuss something with you and hopes you could go see her.”
Gillian’s hospital room was upstairs, she had just undergone surgery and was recuperating.
Molly didn’t want to go.
Gillian was vulnerable right now, and if something happened to her and Molly were blamed, she would have nowhere to voice her grievances.
But there was no point running from certain matters; it’s better to confront them in advance.
Molly stood for a while and then walked towards the door…
Outside Elizabeth Aitken’s house.
Aaron Howard and his people were once again blocking the entrance to the small courtyard.
Bella Howard stood at the door with hands on hips, cursing loudly: “Elizabeth, you and your friend did this on purpose! Your friend knew that this place was going to be demolished but didn’t say anything. We lost over one hundred fifty thousand dollars for nothing! If this matter isn’t resolved today, we won’t leave!”
“Do whatever you like.” Elizabeth said coldly and slammed the door shut with a “bang.”
Bella found out that the house would get compensated with one hundred fifty thousand dollars and two additional suites, and her eyes instantly turned red with greed.
Thinking about how the million-dollar property had been given to Elizabeth with some extra cash, she was so angry that she stomped her feet and beat her chest, wishing she could swallow Elizabeth alive.
Aaron Howard’s face turned ashen with rage.
Last time he tried to confront her, several people came out of nowhere to take him away. This time, he came prepared, summoning all the relatives and friends.
Money makes the world go round – as soon as these people heard the story, they felt Aaron had been tricked and volunteered to help.
“Aaron, your ex-wife is not kind at all, this is a deliberate attempt to trap
“l heard that news about the demolition can’t be leaked in advance. Do you know the name of Elizabeth’s friend? We can report her beforehand.”
“Yeah, I heard that if the news is leaked from inside, it could lead to imprisonment.”
The relatives were all talking, making Aaron more and more tempted.
He remembered the beautiful woman who had stood with Elizabeth previously, but unfortunately, she was in league with that despicable Elizabeth.
Thinking about it now, the woman, his sister, and himself had been provoked by Elizabeth’s words to rush to change their names and register the next day.
Not only that, he was also tricked by Elizabeth’s father into paying the medical bills.
Fuming, Aaron Howard squinted his eyes and stood up to address his family members, “l know her friend’s name, Ivy Thompson. She’s the one who returned to the Thompson family after being lost for over twenty years.”
“From the Thompson family?” Hearing that it was someone from the Thompson family, those people looked at each other, and their previous certainty vanished.
What was their status in comparison? The Thompson family was the richest in Sunnydale. If they were to offend them, how would they be able to make a living in Sunnydale in the future?
“Oh, that Ivy,” one of the relatives drew out his voice sarcastically. “l heard that she’s already cut ties with Daniel Thompson. The Thompson family is about to give up on her. If Daniel knew she was doing this kind of deceptive thing, he would surely beat her to death, wouldn’t he?”
Hearing about Ivy cutting ties with Daniel, a malicious smile appeared on their faces.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go to the Thompson family and ask for an explanation!” Aaron Howard straightened his back, and his gaze deepened. He shouted at the gate, “Call the television station’s hotline. I’m going to expose this matter today!’
After saying this, Aaron Howard called his relatives to follow him out. He glanced at the door, waiting for Elizabeth Aitken to come out.
But after a minute, the courtyard gate remained still.
Elizabeth wasn’t planning to come out anymore!
Then he can’t be blamed!
Aaron Howard gritted his teeth and led a group of people towards Thompson Tower.
Elizabeth, inside the courtyard, trembled with anger when she learned that they were going to Thompson Tower.
Mr. Aitken stood beside her, his face full of worry.
“Elizabeth, if Aaron makes a scene at Thompson Tower, nothing bad will happen, right?” After the news of the demolition was confirmed, Mr. Aitken’s attitude towards Molly Walker changed, and he now began to worry.
Elizabeth clenched her fists, and between gritted teeth said, “Molly told me not to worry and let them make a scene.”
If it wasn’t for Molly giving her a heads up beforehand and telling her to remain calm and not impulsive, she would have wanted to beat Aaron Howard to the point he’d be crawling on the ground looking for his teeth.
These past few days, there had been bodyguards outside the gate. As long as she encountered danger, they would come out.
She knew that these people were the ones Molly had found to help her.
“Since Molly said to let them make a scene, let’s bear it and wait.”
Looking at Mr. Aitken’s worried gaze, Elizabeth reassured, “We’ll just stay at home and not go out for a few days. Our top priority is not to cause any trouble for her. Since she said it’s not a problem, then there won’t be a problem.”
Just like last time, she had a strange belief. She believed in Molly, knowing she would solve all difficulties.
Aaron Howard and his entourage arrived at Thompson Tower. Seeing the rows of security guards standing outside, the Howards looked at each other, reluctant to step forward.
This was the Thompson family, the richest in Sunnydale. They had power, wealth, and status. Faced with such a powerful family, nobody dared to take the lead.
They all looked at Aaron Howard.
Aaron Howard cursed them “useless” in his heart.
He had promised to give them each five thousand after the matter was settled. But now that the critical moment had come, he had to face it alone.
Aaron Howard took a deep drag from his cigarette and looked nonchalantly at
the few guards.
He threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stepped on it.
“Your boss’s daughter used her power for personal gain and leaked the demolition area to her friend for their benefit. Are you going to do anything about it?” Standing on a platform beside him, Aaron saw people coming and going but no one dared to stop. He took off his red down jacket and shouted, “Abusing power for personal gain! Ivy Thompson is abusing her power for personal gain, deceiving the common people! Does she not consider ordinary people to be human? Does ordinary people deserve their relocation compensation?! Is there any justice or morality left in this world?”
With Aaron setting the tone, the other Howards gained the courage to step forward and join him in crying and shouting.
In Thompson Tower, someone from the Human Resources Department rushed to Phoebe Belmont’s office: “Mr. Belmont, it’s bad! There are people outside making trouble, accusing Ivy Thompson of leaking the demolition area details and using her power for personal gain to help her friend profit.” Phoebe Belmont frowned and asked calmly, “Are these people downstairs now?”
The person nodded hastily and asked, “What should we do now? Should we inform Mr.. Thompson?”
