Chapter 4: Chapter 4: How Did They Hook Up

Translator: 549690339

“What is their relationship?

Probably siblings, but is it necessary to tell an outsider about this?

Joshua Thompson crossed his arms and grinned, glancing at him and Isabelle. “Didn’t Mr. Gallagher already divorce your wife? Why are you still so concerned about her private life?”

“I always thought Mr. Gallagher’s girlfriend was Miss Richardson. I didn’t expect there to be one outside, and one inside the house. Mr. Gallagher, in terms of romance, even I have to admit defeat to you.”

No wonder Isabelle brought the divorce agreement to the bar. Any woman would not tolerate a husband being so unfaithful outside.

Michael Gallagher better hope Molly Walker isn’t his sister. Otherwise, the entire Thompson family will hold him accountable.

Joshua Thompson never directly answered his question.

This time, Michael Gallagher didn’t stop him.

When Joshua Thompson, who is always ready to help others and argues head-on, is obviously angry.

“”Michael, I’ve never seen Joshua Thompson help a woman like this before.”

Isabelle was both nervous and wronged.

How did Joshua Thompson end up standing up for Molly Walker?

How did they get involved without any rumors getting out?

Michael Gallagher pursed his lips, and the coldness in his eyes was rampant.

The seeds of doubt have already been planted, just waiting to take root.

After leaving the bar, Molly Walker went back to the house grandmother lived in before she passed away.

Grandmother’s last wish was for her to find her own relatives, saying that even if her parents were not good, she could still look after siblings.

Grandmother had no children or relatives her entire life. All her hopes were placed on Molly, who raised her frugally and diligently, only to die without enjoying any happiness.

“”Grandmother, I will avenge you.”

Even if Isabelle was a towering tree, she would still topple it.

Molly searched all night, but still couldn’t find the box that grandmother had mentioned about her background.

Early the next day, Michael Gallagher’s call came through.

“”Where are you?””

“”What’s the matter?”” Her voice was colder than ever before.

“”Come home. There’s something I need to talk to you about.””

“”That’s not my home.”” She looked at the darkening sky, her throat felt a little dry, “”Just tell me over the phone.””

“”When did you meet Joshua Thompson?”” He asked directly, “”Was our divorce for you to be with him?””

Joshua Thompson?

This name sounded familiar.

Molly suddenly realized that this seemed to be the third son of Thompson family.

Unsure how Michael Gallagher misinterpreted her relationship with Joshua Thompson, but since they had already signed the agreement, she didn’t want to delve into some matters any further.

“”Michael Gallagher, we’ve already signed the divorce agreement. I hope you don’t meddle in my affairs.””

“”Yes, we’ve signed the agreement, but we haven’t divorced yet.”” Michael Gallagher’s tone was extremely cold, “”Didn’t you say Isabelle harmed your grandmother? I’ve called the caregiver.””

The caregiver went to Gallagher house?!

Molly’s cell phone trembled in her hand.

She hadn’t been able to contact the caregiver since that day, but she didn’t expect it to be found by Michael Gallagher.

“”Okay, I’ll be right there.””

Don’t they just want the truth?

Then she will give them the truth.

When Molly arrived at the Gallagher house, she didn’t see the caregiver, but saw Isabelle enjoying breakfast at one side.

Isabelle was eating breakfast gracefully, and Aunt Lewis was busy serving her. If anyone didn’t know better, they’d think Isabelle was the lady of the house.

Molly’s gaze fell on the spot where Isabelle was sitting, which used to be her usual spot. The window-side seat had good ventilation, excellent light, and overlooked the beautiful lake view, but it was now occupied by another woman.

“”Ma’am…”” Seeing her come in, Aunt Lewis looked a little embarrassed.

“”Oh, you’re here?”” Isabelle smiled innocently, “”I’ve prepared breakfast for you. You don’t mind, do you?””

Only then did Molly notice that the table had been filled with light dishes, apparently made especially for Isabelle.

Going along with what benefits oneself has always been human instinct, let alone those like Aunt Lewis who earn their wages from the Gallagher family.

Molly Walker’s smile doesn’t reach her eyes: “After all, Miss Richardson is a guest, and it’s Aunt Lewis’ job to serve guests.”

The word “guest” is both mocking and a reminder.

But Isabelle Richardson doesn’t care, and says with a smile: “I may be a guest now, but soon I’ll be the lady of the house.”

“That depends on whether I’m willing to divorce him. If I’m not, you’ll never be the lady of this house,” Molly Walker says, then suddenly realizes this might be a good strategy.

If she eagerly agreed to a divorce, that would just make things easier for this shameless couple.

If her grandmother hadn’t been harmed, Molly Walker would have let go, but since Isabelle Richardson caused her grandmother’s death, not getting a divorce could actually be a way to take revenge on her.

Sure enough, as soon as these words left her lips, Isabelle Richardson’s face changed: “What are you trying to do?”

“I just think it would be nice if you stay as little No. 3 forever.”

If she’s stuck as No. 3 forever, all her efforts would have been wasted!

Isabelle Richardson could not allow this to happen.

“Molly Walker, if it weren’t for Michael, you wouldn’t even have the right to talk to me here,” Isabelle fumes, thinking back to Michael Gallagher’s warning.

Michael Gallagher had said that even though Molly and he had been married for a few years, she hadn’t contributed much, so Isabelle shouldn’t go overboard.

But if Isabelle was pushed to the limit, she could do much worse.

“You’re really pathetic. Michael doesn’t even love you anymore, and you still cling onto him.”

Isabelle Richardson’s words are like a sharp sword, accurately piercing Molly Walker’s heart.

Molly Walker just smiles without saying anything.

Where’s the love? From beginning to the end, Michael Gallagher never loved her.

“Miss Richardson, it is you who’s most shameless for meddling in others’ marriage.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Furious, Isabelle Richardson rushes forward, trying to grab Molly Walker’s face but misses as Molly quickly dodge away.

Unable to stop herself, Isabelle Richardson stumbles forward.

There’s a fish tank up ahead.

With a ‘bang,’ shards of glass scatter on the floor.

Time seems to freeze.

A heart-wrenching scream echoes through the villa.

Seeing Isabelle Richardson’s hand cut open with a gaping wound and blood gushing out.

“My hand! My hand!” Isabelle Richardson is stunned.

She’s a jewelry designer, and her hands are the most important part of her work. The Richardson family even insured her hands.

Now, a terrifying gash stretches from the back of her hand to her palm, leaving her horrified.

“Molly Walker, I’m going to kill you!” At this moment, Isabelle Richardson’s anger is so intense that she doesn’t even feel the pain. She just wants Molly Walker to taste the pain as well.

She grabs a long shard of glass and charges towards Molly Walker, determined to slice her face.

At this moment, a dark figure stands in front of Molly Walker. The figure reaches out a hand to catch the shard of glass.

Blood flows down the glass shard.

“Michael!”

“Michael Gallagher!”

Molly Walker freezes.

Isabelle Richardson is left dumbstruck.

In a bitter coincidence, Michael Gallagher’s hand suffers the same location and kind of wound as hers.

“Michael, why are you protecting her?” Isabelle Richardson falls apart.

Michael Gallagher doesn’t respond but looks at her bleeding hand, frowns and says to the servant standing on the side, not daring to step forward, “Go call Doctor Leaford.”

Doctor Leaford is the family doctor of the Gallagher family and lives right next to their house.

Molly Walker quickly brings a first aid kit and disinfection tools for Michael Gallagher, but Isabelle Richardson pushes her away fiercely.

“Get lost! It’s all your fault. Now both Michael and I are hurt because of you.”

Molly Walker stands still, looking steadily at Michael Gallagher.

“I didn’t do it on purpose.”
