The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce - Chapter 338:
Chapter 338: Chapter 337: Not Letting Him Off Easily
However, after Daniel finished speaking, no one responded.
Amanda glanced at him and turned away.
Daniel wanted to catch up but was stopped by James.
“If you really feel guilty, reflect on what you’ve done and show it through actions. Clinging onto others will only make them despise you.” James left the room with the others.
Daniel stood there, as if his feet were nailed to the ground.
Those he had hurt wouldn’t forgive him so easily unless he proved himself through his actions in the future.
The next morning, Molly Walker received a message from Emma Smith, saying that Samuel Richardson was planning a press conference and asking her if she wanted to attend.
“The content of the press conference must be related to Daniel.”
With this message from Emma, Molly guessed everything.
If it’s related to Daniel, it must be related to his illness.
She quickly called Damian and Joshua Thompson to stop the reporters.
If news of Daniel faking his illness got out, it would definitely affect the Thompson Group’s stock price.
If Daniel didn’t have dementia, he would have to continue pretending he did.
Daniel had trapped himself in a dead-end situation.
Molly furrowed her brows, wondering where Daniel had gone after spending a night away.
She hurriedly went to the press conference venue.
At the scene, reporters and curious onlookers had already gathered.
Because of the commotion in the morning, members of the Leaford family, including Amanda, also came to the scene.
This time, Samuel Richardson intended to tarnish the reputation of the Thompson Group.
If the Thompson Group was managed by Daniel, it would be different; but now, it was managed by Damian, her brother.
Under any circumstances, she didn’t want the company to be in trouble while under her brother’s control.
When Molly saw the reporters gathered, her heart “thumped” a few times.
It was already too late to change the reporters.
At that moment, a car stopped outside, and Michael Gallagher got out and quickly walked over to her.
“All the reporters have been replaced.”
Molly was stunned.
Michael’s meaningful dark eyes looked at her: “I want to do something for you.”
In fact, after the news of Daniel’s illness broke out, he had been closely monitoring the movements of various companies. Since he took over the Gallagher family’s company, he had seen all sorts of tricks and tactics in the corporate world.
He wasn’t worried about the Gallagher family, and the Leaford family was under Jake Leaford’s control. All he needed to focus on was Samuel Richardson.
When Samuel Richardson contacted the reporters, he had already secretly bribed them.
Michael had settled the matter so quickly.
No matter what, her brother was in charge of the company; she didn’t want the shares, but she needed to protect the company for him.
With her brother in charge, project issues wouldn’t arise, but a reputation war was hard to avoid.
At the press conference, Samuel Richardson sat in the middle with a beaming smile.
Today, his main goal was to introduce his own company, casually mention some gossip that people would find enjoyable, and reveal Emma’s joining the “W” organization. Once he did that, his goal would be achieved.
Even if others knew that he was stepping on others to promote himself, once Emma’s identity was exposed, no one else would dare to say anything.
Daniel Thompson had a daughter in the “W” organization, and so did he, Samuel Richardson.
Comparing their daughters, who would be afraid of whom?
Samuel Richardson sat in his chair, his lips almost grinning from ear to ear.
In stark contrast to Samuel Richardson, Emma Smith sat beside him without any expression on her face.
Samuel Richardson ostensibly told her that he would announce the transfer of the company to her in public, but he had other intentions.
And she had her own thoughts.
Thinking about having nothing to do with Samuel Richardson from now on, she felt a sense of relief.
Members of the organization told her that her mother and grandmother had been protected, so she had no worries.
Today, she was going to give Samuel Richardson a big gift.
As more and more people gathered around, Molly Walker frowned.
Reporters could be bought, but onlookers could not.
She looked at Samuel Richardson on the stage, hating that she couldn’t rush up there right now for fear of harming the company.
As soon as the time arrived, Samuel Richardson started on schedule.
He first introduced himself and the company, and then went on to say that his daughter was already an employee of the “W” organization.
As soon as he said this, many people took out their cell phones to record.
The “W” organization, again the “W” organization.
Hearing Samuel Richardson say this, Emma Smith wished she could grab the microphone from him right there, but the time wasn’t right yet.
Soon after, Samuel Richardson mentioned the issue of Daniel Thompson faking illness.
“I heard that Mr. Thompson, the president of Thompson Group, is faking illness. I heard this from a friend. A company president, in collusion with the hospital director, fabricates medical records. Is he treating everyone like a fool?”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the moment Samuel Richardson said this, the scene became lively.
“Is Mr. Thompson faking illness to be with his mistress?”
“Faking illness, and even colluding with the attending doctor in the hospital, such a lack of medical ethics!”
Everyone had their say, and the situation began to ferment.
Just then, a sharp voice questioned, “Everyone knows that Daniel Thompson has dementia. You say he’s faking it. Do you have any evidence?”
“Yeah, this is too bizarre. It sounds more like a frame-up.”
“Not like a frame-up, this is a frame-up!” A voice chimed in.
Molly Walker, holding a microphone in the corner, had a crisp and powerful voice.
She wore a white down jacket, poised and dignified, her hair in a bun, both elegant and full of temperament.
Her voice in the microphone was even more penetrating than that of Samuel Richardson just now.
“My father has dementia, and the company has long been run by my brother. Mr. Richardson, on the other hand, is holding a press conference just to smear our family. Such character, such behavior, which company would dare to cooperate with yours in the future.”
Molly’s words struck straight at Samuel Richardson’s weakness.
Samuel Richardson wanted a reputation war, wanted to bring down the Thompson Group’s reputation. Then she would strike first, bringing down Richardson Tower’s reputation.
Samuel Richardson had anticipated such a situation and stood up, taking the microphone and saying, “I have a witness.”
After saying this, he looked to the side, where Phoebe Belmont gracefully stepped in high heels from backstage to the front.
When they saw Phoebe, the scene immediately heated up.
This person was very familiar to them, the No. 3 rumored to be involved with Daniel Thompson.
Not long ago, Phoebe had practically become a celebrity online, her affair stinging many people’s pain points.
Amanda Leaford had been sick and gone mad over the years, and Phoebe was Daniel Thompson’s subordinate. It’s possible that the two had been secretly involved for a long time.
Others guessed that she might have had an illegitimate child with Daniel Thompson.
Phoebe took the microphone, her face grim, “I can testify that Daniel Thompson is indeed faking his illness.”
A thunderous “boom” exploded in everyone’s ears.
When Samuel Richardson said it, they still had doubts, but with Phoebe’s appearance, almost all doubts were dismissed.
“The reason I want to expose this news is that I don’t want everyone to be deceived by such people. I admit that I intervened in his marriage with Amanda, and that’s my moral problem. I admit that I made a mistake in love.”
“Daniel Thompson, in collusion with his old classmates, has deceived everyone.” Phoebe looked at Molly and questioned lightly, “Ivy, how much do you know about your father’s fake illness? He’s such a good actor that he even deceived you.”
In order to stay in Sunnydale, she had to die fighting.
Since Daniel Thompson had given up on her, she would not let him off either.
