Upon seeing these news, Samuel Richardson’s face grew cold.
“What’s up, Daddy?” Emma Smith noticed that her father looked unhappy and had been silent, so she quickly reminded him.
Although seven hundred fifty thousand dollars were not a small amount, Samuel Richardson should be able to afford it, and Ivy Thompson had made it clear that if he paid, all his previous actions would be written off.
For the Richardson family, it would be a deal with no loss.
Upon seeing Samuel Richardson looking thoughtful, Molly Walker raised her brow slightly: “What’s up, Mr. Richardson? Is simply borrowing money such a big problem that needs so much thought?”
A small matter?
Samuel Richardson could not suppress the anger in his heart. He wished he could expose her false identity immediately and thinking back to the hardship of this meeting, he worked hard to stay calm.
If Molly Walker was just an ordinary person, he would have already thrown this fraud out, but Ivy Thompson was different, she was the lost fourth daughter of the Thompsons, and a woman about to be engaged to Jeremy Norman.
This woman, even if she was a liar, certainly wouldn’t be an ordinary figure in the future.
“Miss Thompson, can I ask you something, and can you answer me truthfully?” Samuel Richardson tried to keep his composure and smiled, “How did you get the ticket for the Chamber of Commerce?”
He decided to ask directly to avoid offense due to misunderstanding.
If it indeed was bought as the internet claimed, then he had become a big joke. Buying tickets is the behavior of the suddenly wealthy and would be despised by others.
Molly Walker smiled. This question had been asked by no less than dozens of people in recent days.
“Oh, that ticket ” She smiled mischievously, like a playful little fox, “I bought it.”
“Bought it?” Samuel Richardson’s heart sank deeply, his face turning extremely ugly, “Was it really bought by you?”
“Yes, I bought it and now I’m broke, that’s why I came to borrow money from Mr. Richardson. So how about it? Lending me seven hundred fifty thousand dollars shouldn’t be a difficult task.” She crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back in her chair, a beautiful smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
This casual and cynical attitude combined with her words made her seem just like a nouveau riche, if not for her beauty, she would be considered outright vulgar.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have seven hundred fifty thousand dollars.” After hearing her say that the ticket was bought, Samuel Richardson was more convinced of his suspicion.
Her connection with the ‘W’ organization was indeed a false pretense!
A counterfeit person thought she could defeat him? Over his dead body!
Hearing Samuel Richardson’s refusal, Emma Smith showed embarrassment but did not dare to remind him directly.
Seven hundred fifty thousand dollars for Ivy Thompson’s settlement, these opportunities were rare, at least she was willing to settle!
“Daddy, we should have seven hundred fifty thousand dollars, right?” As far as she knew, Samuel Richardson had more money than that, also Ivy Thompson was associated with the ‘W’ organization, and since the money was being ‘borrowed,’ it was like doing a favor for her.
Doing a favor for Ivy Thompson meant doing a favor for the ‘W’ organization.
Samuel Richardson pretended not to hear Emma Smith’s words and firmly said: “Miss Thompson, I apologize. The company’s performance this year hasn’t been good. I can’t lend you seven hundred fifty thousand dollars. If you really need money, seventy-five thousand dollars may be possible.”
It was unlikely that he will lend anything more to Daniel Thompson’s daughter.
Seventy-five thousand dollars?
Molly Walker began to laugh.
Was her brother’s life only worth seventy-five thousand dollars?
“Then the compensation you mentioned before, is it no longer relevant?” Her face was indifferent, like a rose among a sea of flowers, cold and noble.
Samuel Richardson gave a polite smile: “How could it not be relevant, Miss Thompson? You said yourself that you needed money, right? The amount of seventy-five thousand dollars might not be much, but you shouldn’t despise it.”
Seventy-five thousand dollars, enough to buy a ticket for the Chamber of Commerce, yet this impostor was still dissatisfied?
Samuel Richardson had to hold back and not let his true thoughts be known.
Without the identity of the ‘W’ organization, he didn’t even want to part with five thousand dollars, let alone seventy-five thousand dollars. This amount was entirely offered due to her being Daniel Thompson’s daughter.
Molly Walker caught the slight change in Samuel Richardson’s demeanor, her eyes flashing slightly: “Since Mr. Richardson is in a tight spot financially, I won’t bother asking for your help. However once this chance is missed, it won’t come again.”
Samuel Richardson’s face was frozen in a stiff smile.
Forget about missing this chance, even if he had a magic pill to go back in time, he wouldn’t take it. Who is eager to lend people money, it’s not like he’s a big fool.
Standing up, Molly Walker smiled at an embarrassed-looking Emma Smith: “I have other matters to attend to, so I will be leaving now. Miss Richardson, you’re welcome to come and visit if you have time.”
“Alright, I’ll take you home.”
Emma Smith spared Samuel Richardson no glance as she followed Molly Walker out of the villa.
In Capital City, the Jenkins family’s estate was located in the busiest quarter of downtown.
In the attic of the Jenkins family’s villa stood a sprawling rooftop garden. In one corner of the garden, a man in black clothes was leaning back in a lounge chair, eyes closed as if in meditation.
The man’s slender eyes were slightly closed, his long lashes casting a shadow across his face in the sunlight. His high-bridged nose, delicate skin, and perfect contours looked like an exquisite sculpture crafted by an otherworldly artist.
This man was none other than Zachary Jenkins, the third successor the Jenkins family had recently found.
Those familiar with Michael Gallagher would know that Zachary Jenkins is Michael Gallagher.
The Jenkins family was the foremost wealthy family in the Capital City. Their wealth and status were unmatched, and no one dared to challenge them. Particularly from the elder to the younger generations, they were all prodigies in business and politics.
Zachary Jenkins, the family’s third successor, was an illegitimate son who had only recently returned to the family. He was beloved by Mr. Jenkins, who directly gifted him a mansion.
This mansion in Capital City is worth hundreds of millions.
The Jenkins family’s estate was heavily guarded. Until now, no reporter had managed to capture a front-facing photo of Zachary Jenkins.
“Young Master Jenkins, Miss Jenkins invited you over. She said a few of her good friends are visiting and asked you to entertain them.” The Jenkins family’s housekeeper arrived on the rooftop, meticulously relayed the orders given by Miss Jenkins.
Zachary Jenkins opened his eyes and gave him a cool glare before his chilly voice sounded, “Do not disturb.”
“Miss Jenkins also said that if you refuse to go on a blind date, Mr. Jenkins will certainly refuse to let you leave the house.”
Zachary Jenkins’s gaze faltered, and his knuckles turned white as they gripped the corner of the book leaving an indent.
Julia Jenkins had given him an idea, suggesting that if he successfully arranged a blind date during this period, Mr. Jenkins would have no reason to confine him.
When he thought about Molly Walker and Jeremy Norman’s “engagement,” his eyes were as cold as ice.
An engagement?
Molly Walker was engaged to another man while carrying his baby?
As expected from an influential member of the ‘W’ organization, it seems she can easily discard certain feelings when necessary.
“Where are my sister’s friends?” His voice was cold and casual, yet exuded a certain sense of indifference.
I mean, she’s engaged now. Why should he remain faithful to her?
Molly Walker had just returned to Thompson family’s estate when she received a call from Joshua Thompson.
Joshua Thompson rushed to the front door to meet her, “There’s trouble. Father is waiting for you at home right now. Shouldn’t you just get out and hide?”
Angering Daniel Thompson was nothing new, and Molly Walker laughed indifferently, “He can’t exactly kill me.”
“Maybe ” Joshua Thompson coughed and handed her a set of keys, “Just get out of the way for now.”
Holding the keys in her hand, Molly Walker’s eyebrows arched in question, “What’s going on?”
“You don’t know?” Joshua Thompson handed her his cell phone with a wry smile on his face, “You’re now famous.”
Molly Walker took the cell phone and browsed through the blogger’s analysis. After she finished reading, she couldn’t help but marvel at the fabrications the media could come up with.
She had considered every possibility, yet she hadn’t expected anyone to suspect that the ‘W’ organization’s protection of her was a sham.
“‘W’ organization is secretive. Everyone knows it is powerful, but few people have ever had any direct contact with them. They can’t possibly verify every rumor ”

The fact that they couldn’t verify every rumor is exactly why some people exploited the information gap.
Molly Walker lowered her eyes. Her long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings.
“Fourth sister, do you really have any connection with this organization?” Joshua Thompson frowned in concern, fearing that she would not be able to withstand the slanderous rumors.
If Ivy Thompson were really a part of that organization, then when the truth comes out, those who doubted her will regret it. But if she isn’t
He was afraid that, just like the rumors online, Fourth Sister would face the organization’s retaliation.
