“Take it off, I’ll wash it for you!” She bowed to him nervously and hurriedly, “Please rest assured, I will definitely wash it clean.”
“No need.” Damian Thompson gently smiled, picked up the suit next to him and put it on himself.
It’s not that he was unwilling, but the cost of cleaning this suit once might be more than her monthly salary.
Damian Thompson hurriedly left.
Grace Harrison’s face was full of worry.
“Miss Harrison, let me take you home.”
The manager of the coffee shop looked troubled.
This heiress had only been here as an intern for a few days and had already offended dozens of customers. If it weren’t for the fact that this shop was owned by her family, he would suspect her of doing it on purpose.
Grace Harrison’s face was full of despair.
She didn’t want to go on a blind date, and her parents arranged for her to work in their own shop as “punishment.” However, she was really unlucky, either bumping into this person or that one.
Just now, that man’s expensive clothes made her sincerely want to pay to have them cleaned, but she didn’t expect he would refuse.
Thinking of his stunning face, Grace Harrison’s heart raced.
“You don’t have to give me a ride. Tonight, I’ll meet my father here and we’ll go to the Chamber of Commerce together.”
Inside the Thompson family’s estate, the living room on the first floor of the villa.
Gillian Thompson slammed the door open and arrogantly “walked” in. She was at home to change her clothes for the Chamber of Commerce meeting.
As she entered, she immediately noticed Molly Walker and Emma Smith sitting on the sofa.
Gillian Thompson sneered, threw away her crutch, and strode in proudly.
The atmosphere was quiet, and Elizabeth glanced at her leg.
After the amputation, Gillian Thompson had already switched to a prosthetic leg. Wearing pants, she could easily pass it off as real.
“Congratulations.” Molly Walker’s red lips slightly parted, her smile meaningful.
Today must be a good day, a day that allows Gillian Thompson to stop pretending.
Gillian Thompson raised her chin arrogantly, thinking of the Chamber of Commerce meeting tonight, she was extremely excited.
Sitting in a wheelchair wouldn’t be conducive to discussing business, so she simply threw away her crutch.
“I remember that not too long ago, Miss Thompson could only use a wheelchair. I didn’t expect her to be able to walk so soon.” Emma Smith’s words were sarcastic.
A trace of chill appeared in Gillian Thompson’s eyes: “Miss Richardson, just a while ago, you were a village girl. Today, you’re also sitting with my sister. It’s true what they say about birds of a feather flocking together.”
At this moment, several servants walked in with clothes.
Gillian Thompson saw these clothes and bags and arrogantly called for them to stop: “Wait!”
Ever since Ivy Thompson returned, the financial authority was taken back, and the clothes in her wardrobe had never been updated.
Before, the Thompson family would update their clothes and bags every week, and workers from designer shops would send the clothes for the whole family to choose from. However, this “tradition” seemed to have disappeared recently.
“Fifth young lady, this is for ”
“I’m going to the Chamber of Commerce with Daddy tonight. I’ll choose the clothes for this time.”
Gillian Thompson quickly interrupted her words, her tone impatient.
The servants timidly looked at Molly Walker.
Gillian Thompson suppressed her anger, turned and said to Molly Walker: “Sister, I’m going to the Chamber of Commerce tonight. Can I choose some clothes first?”
“You’re going to the Chamber of Commerce?” Molly Walker raised her eyebrows with interest.
Gillian Thompson’s smile was brilliant: “Yes, Daddy said he would take me I asked Daddy if you wanted to come too, but he said you’re not qualified ”
She casually picked a few outfits and took a diamond-encrusted evening bag from the Spencer family as well.
Although the clothes were plain, they were all the latest styles, with outstanding designs and excellent material. She was very satisfied.
“I’m sorry, but you can’t take these clothes.” Molly Walker came over and unabashedly snatched the clothes away.
Gillian Thompson’s face darkened suddenly, and she raised her voice, “What do you mean?”
“Because these clothes were all bought by Elizabeth herself, if you want clothes, go buy them yourself!” Emma Smith covered her mouth and laughed heartily.
Molly Walker came to the mansion with her, just to get these clothes that had just been delivered. Unexpectedly, Gillian Thompson didn’t know how to appreciate kindness and shamelessly bumped into them.
Perhaps it was because she had a soft spot for Molly Walker, but she had no fondness for Gillian Thompson.
“I didn’t expect Mom to give you so much money.” Gillian Thompson’s face turned pale and then flushed in anger, and her words were full of mockery and intense jealousy.
Her card had been frozen, so she couldn’t even afford to buy clothes, let alone imagine Molly being so wealthy. She casually bought several sets of designer clothes and bags, which were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at a conservative estimate.
Molly smirked, thinking that if Gillian knew she had earned this money, she’d probably be even angrier.
Not wanting to waste time explaining to such a person, she turned to Emma Smith and said, “Let’s go change our clothes together.”
Gillian Thompson didn’t know that she would also attend the Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking about what would happen tonight, she couldn’t help feeling inexplicably happy.
The drama tonight must be interesting.
As the sun set and darkness fell, Damian Thompson handed out several tickets to the people in front of him.
“I thought we only had two tickets. How did you get so many?” Seeing the entrance tickets to the Chamber of Commerce, Joshua Thompson exclaimed in shock. “These tickets are said to be worth tens of thousands of dollars each, where did you get them?”
“I got them from Fourth Sister.” Damian Thompson said with a wry smile, never expecting Ivy to be able to get such tickets.
“Fourth Sister gave them to you?” Joshua Thompson looked at the tickets in his hand and smirked wickedly. “She’s more capable than the old man.”
As far as he knew, Daniel Thompson only had two tickets.
These tickets were not available on the market, even if the price was high, no one would really sell them. Firstly, it would be embarrassing, and secondly, it would be useless to force their way in.
Nicholas Thompson repeatedly checked the tickets in his hand, and the holograms on them indicated that they were unlikely to be fake.
It was indeed incredible that Molly could produce tickets worth one hundred fifty thousand dollars all at once.
“Shall we go?” Nicholas Thompson asked them.
“Fourth Sister went to all the trouble to get these tickets. You dare not go and try?” Joshua Thompson flicked the tickets in his hand, laughing cynically.
Actually, he wasn’t interested in the Chamber of Commerce banquet at all. There were many old men at these events, either trying to introduce him to women or being pursued by women themselves, both of which disgusted him.
But this time, Ivy clearly wanted them to go.
“Why would she invite us to such a place?” Nicholas Thompson asked.
Damian Thompson’s lips curved up slightly, his faint smile revealing a hint of mystery: “Perhaps it is to watch a play.”
Hands in his pockets, Joshua Thompson grinned at the thought of the drama that would unfold tonight. “What are we waiting for? Let’s hurry to the Chamber of Commerce.”
He couldn’t wait to see the old man’s face slapped.
The 23rd Chamber of Commerce in Sunnydale City was held at the city’s best hotel. All the distinguished and notable guests had arrived, and all expenses were sponsored by the hotel.
Luxury cars filled the hotel’s exterior, making for quite a spectacle.
When a taxi stopped there, it stood out particularly.
Which boss was so poor that they took a taxi?
The car door opened, and Molly, wearing a windbreaker with a hood, got out of the car, followed closely by Emma Smith.
From the outside, they looked very ordinary.
Soon, the reporters were all drawn to Daniel Thompson’s Rolls-Royce Phantom. There was only one of its kind in Sunnydale City, and as soon as it appeared, they knew the Thompson family had arrived.
Daniel Thompson was dressed casually and wearing an artist’s hat, exuding both warmth and artistic temperament. Among the potbellied bosses, Daniel Thompson’s appearance and demeanor could match more than ninety percent of them.
The driver then opened the rear door, and Gillian Thompson emerged in a luxurious feather dress.
The atmosphere turned quiet
No one expected that Daniel Thompson would bring his daughter instead of his son to the event this time!
“Is that Ivy Thompson? She’s so beautiful!”
“It’s not Ivy Thompson, she looks more like Gillian Thompson.”
“Didn’t Gillian Thompson break her leg? She looks like a normal person, not like someone with a broken leg!”
Gillian Thompson’s high-profile appearance caused quite a sensation, and the discussion was louder than before.
Gillian Thompson lightly brushed her hair behind her ears. Under her large feather dress, there was a completely concealed prosthetic leg.
Compared to her previous timidity, she now seemed like a phoenix reborn from the fire. Her expression was well controlled, and no one doubted that she was Daniel Thompson’s biological daughter.
