The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce Chapter 123 – He Turns Out to Be the Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: He Turns Out to Be the Mastermind Behind the Scenes

His touch on her shoulder burned, and Molly bit her lip, feeling the weight of a rock on her heart.

Compared to Isabelle, she didn’t hate Gillian as much, but if her hand reached out to her mom, she wouldn’t hesitate to act.

It was reasonable for Joshua to suspect Gillian after her kidnapping, as only the Thompson family knew about the ambulance at the time, and Gillian had a close relationship with Isabelle.

And the fact that her mother was injured was very strange.

But Daniel didn’t want to believe it.

Not to mention her, even the Thompson family wouldn’t believe that Gillian would harm Amanda.

After all, they had lived together for over twenty years.

If Gillian really was that kind of person, it would be a fatal blow to the Thompson family.

“There’s no way to know without evidence, but when Mom wakes up, we’ll know the truth. If I find out about your scheming heart…” Joshua squinted and said threateningly in a calm tone.

Gillian’s eyes reddened, and tears rolled in her eyes: “No matter how bad I am, I would never hurt my own mother! What’s wrong with you, Third Brother? You never used to be like this. I’m your sister, how could you doubt me like this…”

Having said that, she moved in front of Daniel, tears trembling: “Dad, I really can’t stay in this family anymore! I should leave. I don’t want to be doubted every day. I don’t mind the grievances, but I don’t want to ruin our sibling relationship.”

Seeing Gillian like this, Daniel frowned, his face full of anger and heartache: “You’ll stay in this family. You’re the one I adopted, and as long as I’m here, no one in this family will dare to bully you.”

“Thank you, Dad.” After that, she glanced at Molly and sobbed harder, “Everyone says Sister is back, and I, who have been looking forward to her return, can leave now since I’m no longer needed.”

Molly sneered.

Is she blaming her?

Daniel looked at Molly, his face becoming serious, and said firmly to Gillian, “It’s because I adopted you that we found Ivy. This proves that you’re our lucky star. We can’t control the outsiders, but no one in this family will dare to gossip about you. Also, your share ownership will be the same as Ivy’s.”

Hearing that the shares would be the same, a hint of joy appeared in Gillian’s eyes.

She originally thought that when Ivy came back, she would have to give up her shares, but she didn’t expect Ivy’s shares to be the same as hers, making no difference between being adopted and being their biological daughter.

These words from Daniel were like a reassurance for her.

Joshua wanted to say more, but Damian held him back and shook his head.

Father had been through a lot lately, and it wasn’t appropriate to contradict him now, or it might backfire.

He loved their mother deeply, and Gillian had indeed filled a large void in his life over the years.

In fact, she might be more important to him than his own sons.

Before there was any evidence, their accusations would only make him resentful.

Joshua’s face turned from red to blue in anger.

Molly also knew this, but she had never had high expectations for Daniel, and she didn’t care about the shares, so she remained silent.

Even if Gillian was taunting her between the lines.

Seeing Molly’s indifferent expression, Gillian sneered inwardly.

She didn’t believe that Molly, who was raised by a poor and elderly woman, wouldn’t like money. Maintaining composure must be an act.

“Dad, what do you plan to do about the person who kidnapped my sister?” Damian asked.

Daniel looked at Gillian, and Gillian pretended to play with her cell phone as if nothing had happened.

“As long as it doesn’t affect the family, we’ll deal with it as needed.” Daniel then turned to Molly, “Is the baby okay?”

Molly shook her head faintly, “Nothing serious, the doctor said to rest.”

Daniel nodded, “You don’t have to worry too much about work, just delegate the tasks to others. Although Michael saved you, don’t get too emotionally invested in him. That Jeremy Norman, on the other hand, is not bad…” Hearing him mention Jeremy Norman, Gillian’s face turned slightly pale.

She nervously looked at Molly.

She remembered that Molly didn’t like Jeremy Norman.

But this time, Molly obediently nodded, “He’s indeed not bad.”

Gillian’s face turned pale, and the light in her eyes dimmed for an instant.

Molly Walker glanced at Gillian Thompson lightly, her lips curving slightly upward.

Seeing her good attitude, Daniel Thompson nodded in satisfaction: “It’s better to find someone who loves you than someone you love, it’s good for you and the baby in your belly.”

Then Daniel looked at Gillian and said, “The doctor told me that your leg needs surgery as soon as possible, or it could affect other parts of your body. I asked the dean to arrange the surgery for tomorrow, the sooner it’s done, the sooner you can recover.”

Gillian’s face turned pale, and she struggled to open her mouth: “Okay.”

She had always resisted the surgery. Even if she couldn’t stand up now, at least she looked like a normal person. After the surgery, she would truly become disabled.

Gillian’s gaze swept over Molly’s slender legs, and her eyes became somewhat dazed.

She would never have such beautiful legs again.

As Molly looked over, Gillian’s eyes reddened, and she quickly lowered her head to hide her jealousy and embarrassment.

Molly suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.

Thinking of the doctor’s words, she frowned and hurried to her hospital room.

Just as she reached the door, she heard Jake Leaford’s indignant voice: “Of all the people you could save, you saved this white-eyed wolf. Now, your cousin will have to attend the company’s annual meeting, are you planning to give up and hand over the company?”

Molly’s heart skipped a beat, and her feet seemed rooted to the spot.

Michael Gallagher’s indifferent voice sounded as always: “I’ve saved her already.”

“The child in her belly belongs to others. I really don’t know why you saved her. You should’ve called her skirt-lifters, Jeremy Norman and Harry Lambert, and let them save her.” Then Jake added suspiciously, “You don’t want to be one of her skirt-lifters too, do you?”

Michael shot him a cold glance: “No one is taking you for a mute if you don’t speak.”

Thinking of Jeremy Norman and Harry Lambert, a nameless anger suddenly rose in Michael’s heart.

Jake was right. He should have called those two to save her.

Isn’t she charming? Those two men should be more than willing to save her, right?

Michael’s eyes were as cold as an ice cellar.

Jake raised his eyebrows teasingly: “You went through the fire to save her, shouldn’t she be so touched that she cries and offers herself to you?” Michael frowned: “Watch fewer TV series.

Let alone being touched and offering herself, news of his inability in that aspect was probably already leaked.

Thinking of Jeremy Norman’s meaningful words “No wonder you got divorced”, Michael’s face grew darker and darker.

This woman…

“Don’t ever mention her to me again,” Michael’s face turned fierce, almost emotionless in his voice, “We are completely over.”

The moment she said the child was not his, the distance between them had grown to ten thousand miles.

He didn’t have the magnanimity of Jeremy Norman to raise someone else’s child.

“Have you found out about Isabelle Richardson’s situation?” Michael suddenly changed the topic.

Isabelle wouldn’t have been able to give birth to Bailey Gallagher without a backer, keeping it hidden from the Richardson family and him.

On her own, she wouldn’t have had the capability.

“Are you sure you want to continue the investigation?” Jake hesitated and continued, “By the way, Molly doesn’t know about you helping Isabelle get out of prison and finding her a lawyer in secret, does she?”

Upon hearing this, Molly’s head buzzed.

She had always thought that Isabelle was released on bail, and never imagined that the person behind the scenes was Michael Gallagher!

He even found a lawyer for Isabelle. Was he planning to help her clear her name further?

Molly laughed, but her eyes didn’t smile.

She thought he had seen Isabelle’s true nature and stopped meddling in the matter. She didn’t expect him to be involved all along, even helping Isabelle secretly.

Her teeth clenched tightly, biting down on her lower lip until the taste of blood filled her mouth. Yet, she didn’t feel any pain.

Because the pain from this slap in the face is much worse!
