Chapter 282: Chapter 281: Apologizing to the Leaford Family

Translator: 549690339

At the Norman household, Sebastian Norman stood on the balcony, listening to Officer Harrison’s explanation on the phone:

“Brother Sebastian, with so many people watching, and me just a temporary worker, there’s a limit to what I can do. Besides, the evidence brought by Daniel Thompson’s daughter has already excluded the suspicion of Daniel Thompson’s suicide. If I continue to insist that he committed suicide, I’ll be in trouble if the matter escalates ”

Officer Harrison’s words were filled with bitterness.

Had it not been for Sebastian’s request, he would not have dared to lie, claiming that Daniel Thompson committed suicide.

Before, he could use insufficient evidence as an excuse, but now with Daniel Thompson’s daughter having found the evidence, if he said such a thing, he would soon be exposed. In which case, he would not only be scolded, but he might also lose his job.

“Don’t worry, if you lose your job, I, Sebastian Norman, will support you for the rest of your life.” Sebastian Norman squinted his eyes with a sharp gleam in them. “The truth is not important; I can’t touch the Leaford family, but the Thompson family’s reputation has to be destroyed.”

Sebastian Norman was furious when he thought of the money he had spent going to waste.

What a nice Ivy Thompson, what a leader of the “W” organization. His partners sent him messages that night, saying they couldn’t resist the “W” organization and had to terminate their partnership with him.

Not only did those people continue to cooperate with the Leaford family and not with his company, but they even canceled their cooperation with his own company.

Cooperation between companies is always about interests, but he didn’t expect the opponent’s counterattack to come so quickly.

After giving Officer Harrison an assurance, he quickly hung up the phone and walked into the living room to ask the housekeeper, “Where has Jeremy gone?”

As soon as his voice fell, a car starting rang from outside. Sebastian Norman looked up and saw a yellow sports car speeding away.

“That’s the new car the young master bought ” The housekeeper responded shakily. “The young master has gone to the Leaford family’s villa to apologize with gifts.”

Sebastian Norman’s face was expressionless.

Having failed to bring down the Leaford family the first time, it would be difficult to touch them again in the future.

“Well, in one family, one person has to play good cop and the other has to play bad cop.”

This matter at most was just his personal grudge; those people would not involve Jeremy at any cost.

Sebastian Norman exhaled a long sigh, lit a cigarette, and slowly smoked it while lying on the sofa.

Jeremy drove this car that had been repaired overnight, his face somber.

Originally, his relationship with Ivy was harmonious and beautiful, but it was all ruined by his father.

Fortunately, Ivy did not vent her anger on him; from now on, he could only try to repair his relationship with the people of the Leaford family.

As night fell, this yellow sports car attracted attention as it entered the affluent neighborhood from the street.

Even in affluent neighborhoods, such a car was rare.

Joshua Thompson stood at the entrance of the Leaford family’s villa and saw the flashy sports car from afar.

“So cool!” Joshua Thompson’s eyes were filled with envy.

Indeed, the car was very similar to the one he had wrecked before, but unfortunately, this belonged to Jeremy Norman. Otherwise, he would have mustered all his strength to snatch it.

Jeremy got out of the car with a smile and handed the key to Joshua Thompson: “Wanna try?”

“Forget it.” Joshua Thompson smiled helplessly. “I’m afraid I won’t be willing to return it to you after trying.”

“If you don’t mind, I can transfer it to you.” Jeremy smiled and handed the key to him. “Anyway, we have many cars at home, and I just bought this one before I had a chance to register it.”

“Really?!” Joshua Thompson was so surprised that he nearly jumped up. “Transfer it to me then. No need for the test drive. Transfer it today.”

This car was one of only three in the world, one of which was in Capital City of Orientopia. It was said to have been bought by a wealthy scion at the time. Joshua had regretted it for a long time, not expecting that it would eventually be bought by Jeremy Norman. This car could be said to be his dream car.

Joshua Thompson circled the car several times, liking it more and more.

“No wonder it’s you, with the same taste as me.” Joshua Thompson happily touched the car door and car window, peering in to admire the interior decoration with excitement in his eyes.

Seeing how much he liked it, the corners of Jeremy’s lips curled up slightly, and his clear eyes carried a faint touch of amusement.

Among the Thompson brothers, his favorite was Joshua Thompson. It was said that Ivy’s return home was largely thanks to this brother. Knowing that Joshua Thompson liked this car, he had been looking for it in Capital City. Coincidentally, the car ended up in his hands.

Thinking of the taboo of the second-hand car, Jeremy reminded him, “By the way, this car has been in an accident.”

“As long as there were no casualties, it’s fine.” Joshua Thompson had been completely conquered by the car.

“None.” He had asked the broker, who said that the seller refused to disclose their information, but this car indeed had only been in an accident, not causing any casualties.

As for accidents, which car doesn’t have a few accidents? Especially sports cars, scratches, or collisions during racing are quite normal.

“I’ll have Finance transfer the money to you later. Ivy is indoors, let’s go in for a meal.” Joshua Thompson unceremoniously gripped the key in his hand, slung his other arm around Jeremy’s shoulder, and led him towards the Leaford family villa.

Thinking of Michael Gallagher’s resurrection, Joshua Thompson turned to look at Jeremy again.

No matter how you look at it, Jeremy was more pleasing than the scumbag.

“You know that Michael Gallagher is still alive, right?”

Jeremy’s steps paused.

With an “I knew it” expression on his face, Joshua Thompson looked at Jeremy sympathetically: “Rest assured, I’ll always be on your side. As long as you’re alive, he can never take your place!”

An illegal immigrant in the eyes of the law, even if alive and well.

What if he is Zachary Jenkins?” Jeremy asked.

“What?!” Joshua Thompson’s mouth twitched. “What does he have to do with Zachary Jenkins?”

“Michael Gallagher is Zachary Jenkins.”

Joshua Thompson’s face looked as if he had eaten something disgusting: ” ”

“I didn’t expect it either.” Jeremy’s eyes drooped, his long eyelashes hiding the sadness in his eyes. If Michael Gallagher were alive, the possibility of remarriage would also not be significant, as Michael Gallagher would live as an illegal immigrant.

However, if he were Zachary Jenkins, he could pursue Ivy with an entirely new identity, with his conditions equal to or even better than his own in various aspects.

“I would never have guessed that the scumbag would have a second identity!” Joshua Thompson sneered disdainfully and carelessly, his narrow, beautiful peach blossom eyes containing a hint of detachment. “Fourth Sister has no plans to marry or remarry now; whatever he does is useless.”

After saying that, he patted Jeremy on the shoulder: “Your chances are even greater since all of us prefer you.”

Jeremy gave a bitter smile and nodded.

Except for Molly Walker, all her relatives stood on his side. But Michael Gallagher, even having lost the whole world, still had Molly Walker’s favor.

“What are you two doing standing outside? Come in.” James Leaford came out, warmly inviting them in, and glanced at the car, his body trembling. “This car whose is it?”

There was a hint of excitement and shivering in James Leaford’s voice.

In the darkness of night, under the streetlights, the yellow sports car was dazzling and eye-catching, impossible to ignore.
