“Daddy, my sister doesn’t like Jeremy Norman at all!” Gillian Thompson’s eyes were red, she didn’t care for her own dishevelment and stared fiercely at Daniel Thompson, “Just yesterday, you said you would find a way to let me marry Jeremy Norman ”
Yesterday, Daniel had told her that he would help arrange a marriage between her and Jeremy Norman and that the Thompson family would be her strongest support.
Unexpectedly, after a single night, all his promises turned to dust.
“That was yesterday.” Daniel Thompson looked impatient, “Can yesterday’s you be the same as today’s you?”
Gillian’s face turned pale, and she lowered her head in sadness.
Yesterday, she was Gillian Thompson, who had made great contributions with the support of the “W” organization.
Today, she was Gillian Thompson, who had lost everything.
She gritted her teeth and said angrily, “If she doesn’t like Jeremy Norman, aren’t you afraid she will be bullied by the Norman family?”
She remembered that Molly Walker didn’t like Jeremy Norman at all.
“That’s not your concern!” Joshua Thompson snapped back before Daniel could speak, “Would you not be bullied if you married Jeremy Norman? At least Jeremy Norman likes Ivy, and she’s willing to try to accept him.”
Upon hearing that Molly Walker was willing to accept Jeremy Norman, Gillian Thompson’s face turned extremely pale, and she unconsciously bit her lip, her body trembling slightly.
She remembered that Ivy Thompson used to never agree to accept Jeremy Norman. How come she was willing to now?
She knew that once Molly Walker agreed, the matter would soon be put on the agenda.
Jeremy Norman liked her, the Thompson family wanted her to be happy, and both sides were willing, except her opposition alone.
She thought of a saying, a pair born for each other, why should these monsters get in the way.
Yes, Molly Walker didn’t like Jeremy Norman, but Jeremy couldn’t resist liking her!
“I thought too much.” She held onto the chair to stand up, her shoulders trembling slightly, like a fallen leaf in the wind, unable to find her way home.
“Daddy, sorry about tonight’s incident, I just wanted to make you proud, but my abilities only go so far ”
At this moment, she had to admit that she had lost and lost miserably.
Violet Summers was her final trump card, the “W” organization was her most proud relationship, she never expected Molly Walker to be even more capable than her.
Because of the hurried journey, she hadn’t taken off her long dress, her makeup was ruined from crying, and she stood barefoot, revealing her machine-like legs.
Daniel Thompson’s heart ached slightly, and he ruthlessly turned his gaze away.
He knew that Gillian Thompson had gone astray in order to gain his approval, but the mistake had been made, and he couldn’t completely overlook the embarrassment it caused.
Even if he were fond of this daughter, he had to give her up now.
Seeing Daniel Thompson’s expression, how could Gillian not understand that she was about to be abandoned completely?
“I made a mistake and will atone for it, but Daddy, I want to remind you, my sister is not as simple as we thought.”
A woman who had been abandoned and raised by an old garbage collector, how could she have such a large background, even the bigwigs of the “W” organization came out to protect her. There was no precedent for this in the whole Orientopia.
Daniel Thompson frowned. He hadn’t thought about this issue, but having a complicated background was like a double-edged sword. If used properly, it could be good for the company. Just like the previous incident, it made the Thompson family’s reputation even stronger.
He had missed his chance once; he couldn’t make the same mistake again.
He needed to repair the relationship between father and daughter.
“I understand, you should go rest first,” Daniel Thompson waved his hand and said solemnly, “Don’t forget to pack your belongings.”
Gillian’s body stiffened.
Pack her belongings?
Where would she go?
Daniel Thompson still planned to send her to the old house.
She pursed her lips tightly, her eyelashes lowered, hiding the desperation deep in her eyes.
She couldn’t go back to the old house, or her life would be over
That night, with Molly Walker’s newfound fame, and rumors of her infidelity with Jeremy Norman, the whole Orientopia was in an uproar.
Some people blessed, some cursed. They blessed Jeremy Norman for finally being with the person he had loved for years, they cursed those who had supported Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher before, feeling that Michael Gallagher’s body was barely cold when Molly Walker found another lover, which made them never believe in love again.
Looking at the comments about herself on the internet, Molly Walker laughed and closed eBay on her phone.
“You’re an internet celebrity now,” Jake Leaford smirked, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
In the coffee shop, the melodies of the piano filled the space, creating a harmonious and beautiful atmosphere.
Molly raised her eyebrows, put down her coffee, and took out an invitation from her bag, handing it to him: “Jeremy Norman and I are holding our wedding banquet in Capital City at the end of this month.”
Jake’s face froze as he quickly looked at the invitation, which prominently featured the names Molly Walker and Jeremy Norman.
“You’re really getting married?” His voice trembled, his face turning pale, “Michael Gallagher is not even cold in the ground yet. It’s not right ”
Thinking of a certain man’s anger, Jake’s heart skipped a beat.
He didn’t expect Molly to actually go through with it!
“If Michael knew, he would want someone to take care of me and the baby. Mom is right; it’s not realistic for me to wait for him forever. It wouldn’t make sense,” she said brightly.
Jake didn’t respond. He looked away and downed his coffee in one gulp.
The bitterness spread in his mouth, instantly clearing his mind.
“Ivy, Jeremy Norman is not a good man He’s marrying you for something, consider what kind of man would want to be a stepfather. He must have ulterior motives,” he muttered, trying to change Molly’s mind.
He couldn’t imagine the reaction if that man found out.
Although Michael refused to admit his feelings for Molly, everybody knew he was smitten with her.
It’s a pity now that he’s “dead” and doesn’t have the right to object.
“He has no ulterior motives,” Molly said with a cold smile. “You saw his eBay post, right? He’s liked me since junior high, but we were too young then. Actually, he’s known me longer than Michael.”
“Even if you don’t know him well, don’t slander someone so casually. Rumors can kill,” Molly said coldly, standing up. “I only invited you here as a friend of Michael’s. If you don’t want to come, just don’t!”
Her cold words left Jake breathless.
If Michael were dead, Jake would champion his cause. However, Michael was still alive, and Jake didn’t have the courage to speak up against others.
He invited Molly out just to ask about Gillian Thompson’s whereabouts. He didn’t expect to get angry and not pursue the matter.
Damn it, he’s suffocating!
No, he can’t suffocate alone!
He played with the invitation in his hand, an evil smile on his face.
Emma Smith had just entered the Richardson family’s villa when she felt a different atmosphere.
The most obvious change was the attitudes of the housekeeper and servants, who were now friendlier and more enthusiastic towards her.
After the Chamber of Commerce event, she didn’t immediately return to the Richardson family but instead visited her mother in her hometown. She came back without notifying Samuel Richardson.
After their last quarrel, she instinctively avoided seeing Samuel again.
It wasn’t that she cared so much about him, but rather she didn’t want to argue with him again about choosing sides.
She walked into the villa with her bag and immediately saw Samuel sitting on the sofa.
“You’re back, come, sit!” Samuel smiled warmly, his face full of wrinkles, as he stood and approached her. “You visited your mother, right? If you miss her, we can just move her here.”
Hearing this, Emma was taken aback.
For so many years, Samuel had never agreed to marry her mother because of his reputation. She didn’t expect him to change his mind today.
Thinking of the recent events, Emma began to understand.
Samuel narrowed his eyes and asked cheerfully, “Emma, tell Daddy how close you are with Ivy Thompson?”
As expected
Emma stared expressionlessly at Samuel.
At the Chamber of Commerce event, Samuel had warned her to stay away from Ivy Thompson, but now he had changed his tune.
The Richardsons were all so pragmatic!
“What?” Samuel noticed her silence, his smile fading, “Are you still mad at Daddy?”
