Jake Leaford got on another motorcycle and followed with a bitter expression.

The two rode all the way to the entrance of Thompson family’s estate before stopping.

“Why are we here?” Jake Leaford looked at his friend.

“I told Damian Thompson to take good care of Molly Walker.”

Jake Leaford:

He had seen jealous men pursuing their wives but never ones who actively pushed their loved ones away.

No wonder he had been acting strange these days, not sleeping and using exercise and alcohol to numb himself.

“Regretting it now?” Jake Leaford laughed enigmatically.

Michael Gallagher took off his helmet, his eyes downcast.

Jake Leaford crossed his arms and leaned helplessly on his motorcycle, “You and I were the same, overestimating how heartless we could be. We thought that pushing away the people we liked could sever our feelings for them. In the end, we only hurt ourselves.”

Michael Gallagher’s lips tightened, his whole body exuding an aura of coldness that made people afraid to approach him.

“She doesn’t like me, so it’s useless to force her to stay.”

“Who said she doesn’t like you?” Jake Leaford sneered, “If she didn’t like you, could she endure living alone for three years? A woman can stay with a man for so long either for his money or his heart.”

If it was his money, Molly would rather strip herself of everything to divorce him.

If it was his heart…

Michael Gallagher frowned, suddenly thinking of the forced intimate event between them.

“If after they had been intimate, one person suddenly proposed to break up…”

“Then it must be because one of them was only after the other’s body!” Jake Leaford spoke indignantly, “That’s so scummy! Taking advantage of her and then letting her go, that’s an irresponsible act.”

At this point, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Michael

Gallagher, “It wasn’t you, was it…”

As Michael was about to speak, Jake Leaford yelled angrily, “No wonder she wants a divorce! Please tell me you didn’t just use her and then let her go!’

Michael Gallagher: ‘ .

“No wonder she walked away without even looking back at you, you deserve it!”

What do you mean “used her and let her go?” It was her who proposed the divorce!

But the more he tried to explain, the more confusing it got. Michael Gallagher simply decided not to explain, his face dark.

Jake Leaford rolled his eyes and directly penetrated his friend’s thoughts, “Now you clearly don’t want to give her to someone else. Listen to my advice…”

He patted his shoulder, speaking solemnly, “It’s not too late to chase after her now. Don’t wait until she’s married and has children with someone else to regret it. By then, you’ll be tormented for a lifetime.”

Michael Gallagher’s eyes trembled, his hands slowly clenching.

Jake Leaford stopped talking. His friend was perfect in every way, except his self-esteem when it came to feelings. It wasn’t his fault; after all, that incident had happened to him.

If it were him, he might have fallen into despair, living a life of drunkenness and numbness, let alone taking control of the Gallagher family and establishing a foothold for the Gallagher Group in Sunnydale.

Based on his experience, Michael Gallagher had already suffered enough before he understood his feelings. Once he realized them, he would probably suffer even more.

Who could blame him for being emotionally dense?

Thinking about his own love life, Jake Leaford gave a bitter smile. He once thought he could handle relationships well, playing around with love without ever getting attached. By the time he realized he was falling in love, it was already too late.

People always like to overestimate their ability to control themselves, but feelings are often the hardest thing to control.

Just then, a car slowly drove into the Thompson familys estate. The car stopped, and a young girl got out.

Wearing a pale blue short cape coat, her slender waist was accentuated. It was paired with a black velvet knee-length skirt and black knee-high boots. Her long, wavy hair hung naturally, giving her an air of laziness and charm.

Joshua Thompson walked out of the mansion and saw Molly. His stern expression relaxed a little.

Watching the two leave one after the other, Jake Leaford’s face was lost in thought.

“Your ex-wife seems to have an extraordinary relationship with Thompson family.”

Michael Gallagher put on his helmet, covering the expression on his face.

“The Thompsons are hosting a banquet the day after tomorrow, and I heard that Jeremy Norman will be there too.”

The Norman family ranks first among the four prominent families in Capital City, and Jeremy Norman is the next heir to the Norman family.

The Norman family’s businesses rarely extend to other cities. As the first influential family in Orientopia’s capital, their financial power and network of connections are deeply intertwined, and their accumulated wealth and connections can sustain their descendants for many years.

Hearing the name “Norman,” Michael Gallagher’s face grew cold, clenching his teeth and suppressing the hatred rising in his heart.

Jake Leaford glanced at him and sighed slightly.

“l heard that Jeremy Norman is coming to the Thompson family seeking a marriage alliance.”

Currently, the Thompson family has only one daughter, Gillian Thompson, but the news of Ivy Thompson being found has already spread. During this banquet, the Thompson family is bound to announce some important news.

Given the Norman familys requirements, they probably wouldn’t choose to marry their adopted daughter Gillian Thompson, and it could only be Ivy Thompson.

Thinking back to the time when Molly Walker impersonated Ivy Thompson, Jake Leaford felt a sudden chill in his heart. Ivy Thompson couldn’t really be Molly Walker, could she?

Seeing how Joshua Thompson was so affectionate towards her, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Jake Leaford, deep in thought, said, “Maybe you should investigate your ex-wife. Her connections are too excessive.’

Being close to celebrities and protected by the Thompson brothers is something that even the most skillful socialite can’t achieve, let alone her, who no longer has any family.

Indeed, these connections and tactics were a bit too heaven-defying. Michael Gallagher stood alone, his eyes landing gently on Molly Walker’s retreating figure.

During their three years of marriage, he thought he knew her, yet it turned out he had never truly seen through her.

As Molly Walker, who was just about to enter the house, sensed a gaze from behind, she turned her head hesitantly, but only heard the sound of the motorcycle starting.

Joshua Thompson saw her pause and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” She slowly lowered her eyelids.

Joshua Thompson thought of the conversation they had just had and hesitated to speak.

“Just say it. I can handle the result.”

Joshua Thompson took a deep breath, “We’ve already persuaded father, but he says that since the contracts have been signed, this matter cannot be changed.”

When a contract is signed, any changes would be a breach, resulting in not only paying a huge amount of damages but also possibly harming the Thompson family’s reputation.

Molly Walker smiled, her face showing no emotions.

Joshua Thompson was also very angry, but since the contract had been signed, he couldn’t do anything about it.

“But that doesn’t mean there’s no other solution. We can manipulate the cooperation behind the scenes, like changing the management personnel. The contract states that Isabelle Richardson is responsible for the Richardson family, while Gabriel is responsible for our side. My brother suggests that you be in charge.”

Molly Walker was slightly stunned. This billion-dollar project was to be handed over to her?

“What about Gillian Thompson?”

“She needs to have surgery, so let her rest and recover. She doesn’t need to meddle in the company’s affairs.” Joshua Thompson’s face was expressionless, but it was apparent that he didn’t approve of Gillian Thompson’s actions this time either.

Thinking of what Nicholas Thompson had said to him, he became even more irate.

Originally, they intended to change the contract at all costs and make Gillian

Thompson apologize and ask for Molly Walker’s forgiveness, but Nicholas Thompson took all the responsibility on himself and said Gillian Thompson was not at fault.

Not at fault? How could she not be at fault when she helped an outsider deceive her own people? They called that not at fault?

Joshua Thompson wished he could punch him in the face on the spot.

Even if Gillian Thompson was also a relative, they should still distinguish the closeness of blood ties and prioritize who mattered more. How could someone this grown-up not make such distinctions clearer?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became..
