It seems that Isabelle’s position in the Richardson family is now precarious.
As long as Isabelle loses the protection of the Richardson family, everything will be easier.
Isabelle was the one who leaked the information and invited the reporter to the last interview, according to No. 4’s investigation.
Isabelle is always scheming.
And her revenge against Isabelle has just begun.
Miss Walker, your discharge procedures are complete. Remember to come back to the hospital for a check-up if anything seems abnormal,” said the doctor as he handed her a thick stack of documents, his face serious.
The doctor insisted that she continue to stay in the hospital, but she disliked the atmosphere and environment. She could also rest at home if needed.
Moreover, the preliminary round of the jewelry competition was the day after tomorrow, and she wanted to prepare well for it.
Damian gave her a key to a river-view apartment, which was close to both the Gallagher and Thompson families and located in the High-tech Zone in downtown.
She didn’t refuse the offer since Joshua insisted so much.
On leaving the hospital, Joshua came up to her and carried her belongings, helping her with the taxi door.
When Molly saw the person sitting in the car, she was stunned.
He insisted on coming and couldn’t be driven away,” Joshua said with a helpless roll of his eyes.
Jeremy Norman gave Molly a shy smile: “I insisted on coming. You won’t be mad, will you?”
No,” Molly replied with an indifferent smile, opening the passenger seat door and getting in.
Seeing her not sitting with him, the light in Jeremy’s eyes dimmed slightly.
He never expected that he would send such a message in sync with Harry Lambert, causing great trouble for Molly. Because of this, Gillian took away her projects.
He has been in agony these days, with his dark circles getting worse.
He felt guilty.
Actually, the river-view apartment he gave to Molly was his. He begged
Damian and Joshua for a long time before they decided to help him hide the
Only in this way could he alleviate his guilt.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Molly let out a soft sigh.
Are you confident about the jewelry competition? If you don’t want to participate, just withdraw,” Joshua urged eagerly.
Anyway, winning the competition would only earn reputation for the Gallagher Group, which he didn’t think was necessary.
Withdraw… isn’t that a bad idea?” Molly said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Why not? You’ve already divorced him. You have no obligation to earn reputation for his company!” Joshua sneered. “You’ve been through so much, and he hasn’t even acknowledged it. Even Jeremy Norman is better than him.”
“Cough, cough…” Jeremy coughed a few times with his fist pressed against his lips.
The atmosphere in the car froze for a few seconds.
With a bitter smile, Molly pursed her lips. If Joshua knew that not only did Michael not respond, but also warned her that he would make her worse than dead, he would probably be furious on the spot.
Although the baby in her belly is his, his lack of any “acknowledgment” indeed left her disappointed for a while. But this further proves that he doesn’t know the child is his.
That’s fine. They don’t owe each other anything, and there won’t be any disputes in the future.
It would be best if he never found out.
Molly’s lips curled up in a beautiful arc, her eyes becoming increasingly clear.
“Third brother, drop me off at the Gallagher Tower. I need to go up and get something.” The competition is the day after tomorrow, and her entry ticket is still at the Gallagher Group. She needs to get it.
Hearing her say she was going to the Gallagher Group, Joshua’s face darkened, but he obediently took her to the building.
“We’ll wait for you downstairs.”
At first, Molly wanted to refuse, but seeing Joshua’s unhappy face, she reluctantly agreed in the end.
At this moment, it was the lunchtime rush hour, and despite wearing a mask, she was still recognized by her colleagues from the Gallagher Group.
“Molly! What brought you here?”
“Are you okay? I heard you were in the hospital?”
Even though their words were caring, their eyes were constantly glancing at her stomach.
The news that Michael Gallagher saved Molly but she was carrying another man’s baby had long since spread throughout the Gallagher family. In private, these people had thoroughly scoffed at Molly.
Cheating and almost making Mr. Gallagher into a happy father, any of these circumstances would make people think she took matters lightly.
Who was Michael Gallagher? He was the man in charge of the Gallagher family and the most handsome and wealthy man in Sunnydale City. After taking over the Gallagher family, he directly raised the family’s status to become the second-largest enterprise in Sunnydale, with the Gallagher family ranking just below the Thompson family.
How many women wanted to marry him, and yet Molly, who had married him, was not content, almost making Michael Gallagher a happy father.
Since then, Molly had become the enemy of all the women in the company.
Faced with the malicious gazes of these people, Molly remained steady as she walked towards the Design Department.
She could claim her contest ticket from the Design Department leader.
The Design Department leader was called Penny Lewis, and she saw the news of Molly entering the company the moment it happened.
When Molly knocked on the door and came in, Penny was still polite. But when it came to the entrance ticket, Penny Lewis apologized with a smile: “I’m sorry, Molly, but you no longer qualify to participate in the competition, and the ticket has been given to someone else.”
Molly was stunned and asked, frowning, “Wasn’t I the one who’s supposed to participate in the competition? When did it change?”
“The competition’s organizers asked to meet all contestants in advance, and we couldn’t contact you. Later, when we heard you were in the hospital, we had to let someone else from the department take your place. Afterwards, we found out that this was just the entrance notification. She showed her face, so she has to participate in the contest.”
Hearing these words, Molly’s heart sank heavily.
She thought of Michael Gallagher’s large box filled with various accessories in her room, and her nose felt sour.
She had been looking forward to this competition for a long time, and Michael Gallagher had given her a bet, requiring her to win a place.
She didn’t expect to miss the opportunity like this.
Penny Lewis’s face was apologetic: “I’m really sorry, I should’ve asked you personally.”
During her years working at the Gallagher Group, Penny had always been good to her and even helped her apply for a raise every six months. Molly considered her a trustworthy person in the workplace.
Seeing her feeling guilty, Molly didn’t express how upset she was.
She had deliberately cut off contact with the outside world to recuperate in peace these days, so she might have missed their calls. “It’s alright, it’s my own problem. Thanks a lot, Penny. I’ll leave now.”
Penny nodded and personally escorted her to the door.
As she stepped out of Penny’s office, Molly realized she had forgotten her cell phone.
When she went back to retrieve it and was about to knock on the door, Penny’s triumphant voice came from inside: “I’ve taken care of it. All I have to do is tell the higher-ups she withdrew voluntarily.”
Molly’s hand froze in mid-air.
The door to the office had not been closed, leaving a small gap. Penny thought Molly had left and didn’t intentionally lower her voice since she had her own private office.
“She’s very talented in design, and her fame almost overshadowed mine over these years. I’ve put up with her for a long time. The things she’s done are disgusting. If she represents our Design Department in the competition, I’ll be laughed to death by others.”
“You know my design capabilities are as good as hers, and our department can still win prizes without her participating. Besides, her relationship with Mr. Gallagher is delicate right now. If I just tell the higher-ups she withdrew voluntarily, no one will find out.”
Penny clapped her hands, unaware that Molly had heard everything she said.
It turned out that her respected boss hated her so much.
Having hidden it for so long, she must have been exhausted.
Molly’s lips revealed a cold and gorgeous smile. Then, she forcefully pushed open the door.
Seeing her come back again, Penny’s words were suddenly choked, and she finally realized the door had not been closed.
“Molly, what brought you back? How come you didn’t knock before coming in?”
Penny tried to squeeze out an awkward smile, her voice trembling, “The things I just said, you didn’t…. hear them, did you?”
