Perhaps it was the house’s atmosphere, but Xander Moore felt that Daniel Thompson suddenly appeared much more noble than him. He lowered his head, both envious and self-conscious.
No wonder Gillian didn’t want to go back with them. After living in such a house, how could she accept their home?
Seeing her biological parents’ nervousness as they got off the car, Gillian Thompson couldn’t help but roll her eyes internally.
Seeing their amazement, Daniel Thompson arrogantly raised his chin a bit.
For middle-aged people, money is a symbol of power.
If they wanted to take his daughter back, they would need to have the power to do so!
Confident in his heart, Daniel showed no emotion on his face and smiled warmly, “Don’t just stand there, come in.”
Just as they entered, Amanda Leaford, who had received the message earlier, greeted them with a smile.
“As soon as I received the message, I hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare more dishes. You must be Gillian’s uncle and aunt?” She walked up to Lily Turner and Xander Moore with a warm smile.
Amanda was wearing a blue silk traditional long dress with delicate orchid embroidery that snaked from her knees up to her shoulders. As she moved, the blooming orchids seemed to come to life, exuding an elegant orchid fragrance.
With every gesture, her movement seemed to touch people’s hearts.
Upon seeing such a beautiful Amanda Leaford, Lily Turner’s expression was momentarily stunned.
Could this woman with such an aura be
“Mom, thank you, you can go rest now. I’ll take care of my uncle and his family.”
Gillian’s calling her “Mom” snapped Lily Turner back to reality.
It was indeed Gillian’s adoptive mother!
In an instant, all of Lily Turner’s previous confidence vanished.
The difference was too vast!
Even though they had high expectations for the Thompson family beforehand, it was only upon actually arriving that they realized the true gap was even greater than they had imagined.
At this moment, Lily Turner soberly realized that even if they were to take Gillian back, they probably wouldn’t be able to provide her with such a life.
“Gillian, when did you find your family? Why didn’t you tell us? We could have met them in advance. This rushed visit is so impolite.”
Amanda Leaford’s gentle voice made Gillian’s face turn awkward. She quickly replied, “They just found me yesterday, and I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet.”
“Oh ” Amanda Leaford gave a meaningful smile, looking at Lily Turner, “I wonder who Gillian’s biological parents are ”
“They’re dead!”
Gillian jumped in before Lily Turner could answer.
The atmosphere suddenly became stiff.
Lily Turner’s face turned as pale as a sheet.
Xander Moore maintained more composure than Lily Turner, and went along with Gillian’s words, “Yes, Gillian’s parents have long passed away.”
“Yes, they’re dead, all dead can’t live,” Lily Turner mumbled to herself.
Gillian’s heart, which had been stuck in her throat, finally relaxed. Seeing their saddened expressions, her heart felt heavy.
She clenched her teeth and looked at Daniel, “Dad, let’s have dinner earlier. I have some things to do with my uncle and aunt, so I’ll send them back after we eat.”
“Why bother sending them at this late hour? Just let them stay here for a few days!” Daniel Thompson’s expression softened upon hearing that Gillian’s biological parents were deceased. “They’re Gillian’s relatives, and that makes them our family too. We don’t have to be so formal. We have plenty of guest rooms; you can even stay here long-term if you want.”
Upon hearing this, Gillian’s face turned pale again, her lips quivering, and her teeth biting her tongue, causing her heart to tremble in pain.
It was okay for anyone to stay here, but Lily Turner and her husband couldn’t!
She forced a smile and tried to signal Lily Turner with her eyes, hoping she would decline the offer. However, Lily was looking down, lost in thought and didn’t notice her cues.
Amanda glanced at her watch and pouted, “Why haven’t Joshua and Ivy arrived yet?”
Gillian Thompson’s heart skipped a beat.
Damian Thompson said with a smile: “They have already arrived.”
As soon as his voice fell, a car’s sound of stopping echoed outside the door.
Lily Turner suddenly looked up, her face full of horror with intertwined wrinkles.
Ivy? Ivy Thompson? The woman she had kidnapped? How could she be here?
Lily desperately looked at Gillian Thompson for help. Seeing Lily like this, Gillian’s heart thudded, and she instantly felt numb all over.
Did Lily confront Molly Walker directly at that time?
If that was the case, Molly would definitely recognize Lily as her kidnapper when they meet!
“Auntie Lily, didn’t you say you needed to go to the toilet? Let me take you to my room.” She entered the elevator first, and Lily followed without any hesitation.
As the elevator doors closed, Gillian’s face turned cold. Lily timidly lowered her head, hardly daring to breathe.
Once inside the room, Gillian got straight to the point: “Did she see your face?”
“She probably did.”
“You idiot!” Gillian trembled with anger, “Do you want to get me killed?!”
“If you hadn’t talked too much today, none of my family would have known about your existence. Please, if you can’t help me, at least don’t drag me down!”
Thinking about her current predicament, Gillian’s eyes turned red with anger. Her nose tingled and tears fell like broken beads.
She had gone through great pains just to stay, and she never thought the two of them would ruin everything.
“I’m sorry, Gillian What should we do now? I don’t want her to see me.” Although she was already out of prison, she didn’t inform on Gillian. If the Thompson family found out about this, her son would probably be done for!
Gillian cried for a bit, and upon hearing the noises downstairs, she knew that Molly and her party had already arrived.
With things set in stone, she could only take a gamble!
She wheeled herself to the window, opened it, and turned back.
The bright moonlight cast a soft glow on her face, smoothing her features. However, her eyes were unusually bright.
Her lips parted, and two cold words were uttered: “Jump.”
Jump, Lily
There was no other choice.
Meanwhile, in the Thompson’s living room, Daniel Thompson was scolding Molly Walker.
“Every day you do nothing productive, you just tarnish our family’s reputation. Knowing that we have guests, you still make everyone wait for you. Have you no manners?!”
Molly frowned upon entering and hearing Daniel’s accusation.
“Dad, it’s rush hour. There was traffic.” Joshua Thompson was unhappy with Daniel’s attitude and rolled his eyes.
This attitude immediately provoked Daniel’s anger.
“Don’t think that just because Joshua is protecting her, she’s off the hook. She somehow offended the ‘W’ organization, almost causing our company’s cooperation to collapse!”
Thinking of those who terminated their collaborations, Daniel Thompson became even more furious.

Those people said that his daughter had offended someone from the organization. Though they didn’t outright say it, their words directly pointed to Ivy Thompson.
Ever since this daughter acknowledged her family, the company’s projects have encountered problems one after another.
The more he recalled the fortune teller’s words that she would bring misfortune to him, the more the thorn in his heart refused to budge.
“Daniel Thompson!” Amanda Leaford shouted angrily, “Stop venting all your anger on Ivy!”
“I’m venting on her?!” Daniel Thompson pointed to his sons, “Ask them if it wasn’t for Gillian, our company’s reputation would have been ruined!”
