Looking at those obviously pieced-together but very useful videos on the wall, Officer Harrison’s face could be described as ugly.
“Officer Harrison, look here.” Molly Walker paused the video, “Here, my father is wearing a watch on his hand, and then look here ”
“The watch on his hand is gone.”
The atmosphere grew cold.
“What does this mean? It means that someone in between took a liking to his belongings. Officer Harrison, I respect your profession, but please also respect my father’s life.”
Her words were somewhat aggressive.
Officer Harrison’s face immediately darkened: “What do you mean? Are you questioning our professionalism?”
“I definitely will not question the professionalism of the police, but there are also office personnel who want to close the case hastily without evidence.” Molly smiled lightly, her smile meaningful and suggestive.
Seeing the obvious problems in the video, Officer Harrison no longer said that Daniel Thompson had committed suicide.
“I’ll go back to the station and check the materials first. The authenticity of this USB drive is still up for debate. I’ll take it to the station for inspection first.” Officer Harrison took the USB drive without saying another word.
Molly didn’t stop him, and after Officer Harrison left, Amanda Leaford quickly went to her side and asked, “Did you make all these videos by yourself?”
The police couldn’t find the footage, yet Ivy found it so quickly.
“I alone don’t have that much ability. No. 6 had people in the organization do it.” Molly introduced to everyone, “You guys should’ve seen No. 6 before. In fact, he has been a colleague of mine for so many years. We’ve cooperated for many years. The explosion incident was done by his brainless fans and didn’t have much to do with him.”
She knew that the explosion incident left the Thompson family uneasy, and they didn’t have a good impression of Harry Lambert either.
Hearing Molly’s words, Harry Lambert felt warmth in his heart and quickly lowered his head to hide the emotion on his face.
The others in the Thompson family immediately looked at Harry Lambert, especially Joshua Thompson, with a burning gaze and naked scrutiny.
This man was in love with his Fourth Sister.
Although Michael Gallagher was out of the picture, and Jeremy Norman was ruled out by Fourth Sister, he really didn’t like Harry Lambert’s enchanting face.
“By the way, Fourth Sister, tonight Jeremy Norman said he wanted to invite the family to dinner, saying it was to apologize on behalf of his father. What do you think, should we go?” Joshua Thompson suddenly thought of this.
The so-called apology from Jeremy Norman was his attitude. Although his father was ruthless in his actions, it had little to do with him.
If it wasn’t for his call at that time, she wouldn’t have known about the huge incident her uncle encountered.
“Since he invited us, let’s all go together.”
Although the two families were not going to be in-laws, she and Jeremy Norman were friends, and she didn’t want this incident to affect their relationship.
“Great!” Joshua Thompson immediately laughed.
Jeremy Norman said he got a nice car that looked very much like his old wrecked yellow one. Joshua was worried about how to check out this car. Since they were having dinner together that night, he would definitely be able to appreciate this dream car in person.
At that moment, Daniel Thompson stared at Molly’s face and suddenly asked, “Are you my daughter?”
He had just heard her conversation with the police, and she called herself “father.”
Hearing Daniel Thompson’s words, the whole room went silent, and no one dared to pick up on his words.
Everyone knew that Ivy did not recognize Nicholas Thompson and Daniel Thompson. Daniel Thompson’s words implied a somewhat “self-humiliating” meaning.
Molly looked at Daniel Thompson indifferently, seeing his confused expression, and a belly full of anger got stuck in her throat.
Facing a middle-aged man with Alzheimer’s disease, she couldn’t say some words and couldn’t lie.
“No.”
Two plain words revealed all her attitude.
She still hadn’t forgiven Daniel Thompson, but no one dared to blame her. If it were themselves in her shoes, they wouldn’t even bother looking at him, let alone acknowledge him.
Hearing Molly Walker deny their father-daughter relationship, Daniel looked at the others in the room doubtfully, feeling stabbed in the heart.
How great would it be if such a beautiful girl were his daughter
When Molly left the hospital room, Nicholas Thompson followed her out.
“Fourth Sister ”
Molly stopped and looked at him expressionlessly, “What’s the matter?”
Her indifferent tone was completely different from how she treated their eldest and third brothers.
Nicholas forced a smile, thought for a moment, and asked, “Gillian has been missing for a while now. I want to ask if your organization can help track her down.”
Gillian went missing after sending him a resolute text message. No matter how he tried to contact her, her cell phone was always off; it seemed that the odds were against her.
Molly raised her eyebrows, staring at him, “Mr. Thompson, our organization is not omnipotent. Shouldn’t the police be involved since Gillian went missing?”
“The police can’t find her either.” Nicholas frowned, “I know you have a say in the organization, and you helped my uncle’s company so easily. Finding a person shouldn’t be difficult, right?”
Especially given the videos she had just shown them — it would be challenging to gather so much information in such a short time without substantial financial, human, or material resources. This indirectly demonstrated her connections and capabilities.
“Finding someone isn’t difficult indeed.” Molly drew out her words, glancing at him with a bright smile, “But why should I find her? What’s her life or death got to do with me?”
Nicholas’s face turned pale and then flushed.
“Do you want to say that she’s my sister after all, and she’s been fulfilling my filial duties on my behalf all these years? So, I should be magnanimous, forgive her, coax her, and make her happy?”
Nicholas didn’t say anything, his expression evidently slapped hard.
He had said these words before, but now they were used by Molly to shut him up.
“I helped uncle because he sincerely treated me well. Why should I help Gillian? Because she harmed mom, my third brother, and me?” She gave a self-mocking laugh, her eyes pitch-black and her smile disdainful, “I won’t waste any organization resources on her; she’s not worth it.”
Nicholas had anticipated such a response. He knew he had no right to ask Molly to forgive Gillian.
“I’m sorry.”
As Molly turned around, Nicholas’s voice, like the wind, poured into her ears.
“As your brother, I’ve made too many mistakes. If there’s a chance, I’d like to make amends.” Nicholas’s voice softened with rare warmth, “I know you’ll never call me your second brother in this lifetime, but for all these years, I’ve treated Gillian as my own sister. She has nothing left now, and I don’t want anything to happen to her.”
Hearing Nicholas say such words, Molly didn’t feel as angry as she had imagined, just a touch of sourness in her nose.
Favoritism always existed, and it was impossible to keep things balanced.
Amanda Leaford and Joshua Thompson favored her, just as Nicholas favored Gillian.
As family and loved ones, those they wished to protect would become their weaknesses.
Gillian was Nicholas’s weakness.
“If you want to use the power of the organization, you may file a mission within it. However, I must remind you – the price won’t be low.” Molly turned back, looking at him indifferently, “You treat Gillian as your sister, so use your savings to help her. I have no obligation to help you, let alone an obligation to help her. Even if I have a say in the organization, I won’t make exceptions for someone like Gillian.”
Nicholas wanted to say more, but upon meeting Molly’s cold and indifferent eyes, his heart shrank: “Fourth Sister “
