Chapter 273: Chapter 272: Stubborn and Unrepentant

Translator: 549690339

If she liked Jeremy Norman, she wouldn’t have pretended to be with him.

Thinking about how she went through all this trouble just to force him out, the corner of Michael Gallagher’s lips curled up slightly.

If he had known earlier that she was only pretending to be with Jeremy Norman, he would have directly told her that he was still alive, rather than hiding from her with guilt for so long.

“Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue with a fool like you. Just get a complete medical check at the hospital, and don’t die young.” Jake Leaford walked into the hospital first, then after a few steps, said to the people behind him, “Oh, right, you’d better sell this car, the sooner you get rid of the bad luck from the accident, the better.”

After entering the hospital, the doctor gave Jake Leaford a simple checkup and found no problems, but Michael Gallagher was required by the doctor to be hospitalized.

“You have two broken bones and must be admitted for treatment immediately.”

Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Jake Leaford stared at Michael Gallagher in astonishment.

Broken bones? And he’s acting as if nothing’s wrong?

Suddenly, Jake Leaford couldn’t find the words to complain.

Although he was innocent, the other person was suffering from broken bones while he was just shaken, so what could he say?

“You’d better get hospitalized, and don’t worry about the things outside. I need to go back to work in a while so that Elizabeth Aitken doesn’t notice anything.” Thinking about his recent sweet life with Elizabeth Aitken, a smug smile unconsciously appeared on Jake Leaford’s face.

Ever since she found out that he had left his family, Elizabeth Aitken had taken pity on him and let him move into her rental house.

Although it was a small house, it gave him the feeling of home.

Michael Gallagher raised his eyelids and glanced at him with a faint voice, “Have you thought about the consequences if Elizabeth Aitken finds out that you haven’t actually broken away from your family and that you’ve been deceiving her?”

Jake Leaford’s breath hitched, and he stuttered, “What’s the difference between finding a job in Capital City away from Sunnydale and severing ties with my family? Besides, she’s not Molly Walker. She may be loud on the surface, but she’s actually soft-hearted and gentle. As long as our feelings for each other grow stronger, she’ll forgive me once I tell her the truth.”

Towards the end, Jake Leaford’s words grew more and more uncertain.

In these days, his sweet love with Elizabeth Aitken still contained lies.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to break away from his family; he simply couldn’t. If he broke ties with his family for Elizabeth Aitken, his mom would go crazy and kill her.

Now, the lies were just a temporary solution because he could no longer bear the thought of Elizabeth Aitken leaving him.

Seeing that Jake Leaford was still stubborn, Michael Gallagher raised his eyebrow, giving a bland reminder: “I remember that you used to remind me to cherish those around me, and to actively pursue love when I found it. I didn’t expect that this would be your way of pursuing it.”

Jake Leaford was right. Elizabeth Aitken wasn’t Molly Walker. Molly couldn’t accept lies and deception. But could Elizabeth Aitken really accept it?

Looking at Jake Leaford’s confident appearance, Michael Gallagher didn’t bother to persuade him further.

It’s impossible to wake up a person pretending to be asleep, especially someone like Jake Leaford, who’s so lovesick.

“You take good care of yourself, I’ll go first.” As if worried about Michael Gallagher saying something else, Jake Leaford patted his butt and left.

Michael Gallagher frowned at the sight and sent a message to the housekeeper at that moment: Young Master, the car has been towed away. How should we deal with it?

Michael Gallagher replied indifferently: Sell it.

Feeling the pain in his collarbone and ribs, Michael Gallagher lay on the hospital bed and sent another message to the housekeeper: How is the situation with the Leaford family’s company?

The housekeeper quickly sent a message: Mr. Jenkins hasn’t had the chance to make a move, the “W” organization has stepped in and resolved the issue.

Seeing this message, Michael Gallagher felt relieved.

His grandfather still hadn’t given up, wanting that fool to pass on the family line.

If Jerry Jenkins had really married Zoey Lambert, he and Ivy Thompson would never have had a chance to reconcile, and they would become lifelong enemies.

Fortunately, it never came to that.

At the Leaford family’s villa, as soon as James Leaford entered, the lights were turned on all at once.

Mr. and Mrs. Leaford were sitting on the sofa.

“Dad, Mom, why are you here?”

Mr. and Mrs. Leaford had been living in another villa about a hundred meters away, and it was already late at night. By all accounts, the two elders should have been asleep

“If we don’t come over, what if you sell our beloved granddaughter to someone? What kind of trash is Old Man Jenkins? He actually wants my granddaughter to marry his stupid grandson. I think his heart and eyes are covered by lard, and he can’t see his own pig face!” Mrs. Leaford’s cheeks puffed up with anger.

Mr. Leaford stood up, gently patted her back, and looked expressionlessly at James: “Is the company matter resolved? Was it really done by someone from the Jenkins family?”

James nodded bitterly: “Not long after I mentioned the matter to Mr. Jenkins, the company’s problem was solved. He said that if he helped me resolve the company’s issue, I’d help him with his grandson’s marriage.”

Mr. Leaford fell silent, anger slowly appearing on his face.

Letting their excellent granddaughter marry a fool from the Jenkins family was an insult to them.

“Although I’m not in the business world, I still have some old friends who would give me some face. James, you shouldn’t have gone to the Jenkins family for help.” Mr. Leaford sighed helplessly and looked at his son with regret.

James lowered his head, feeling as if a knife were cutting into his heart.

He also regretted seeking help from Old Man Jenkins, but the only family that could compete with the Norman family was the Jenkins family.

Without thinking too much, he went to ask for help, and even impulsively brought Zoey with him. It was like sending a lamb to the tiger’s mouth.

“Dad, you’re right. I was being foolish.” Thinking of everything that happened tonight, James’s heart was as gray as ashes.

If not for the yellow Lamborghini, he would have almost died.

Having a brush with death, everything seemed unimportant.

“So what if we go bankrupt? We can always start over.” He couldn’t bring himself to marry his well-raised daughter to such a person.

Hearing this, Mr. Leaford nodded approvingly: “A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Even without the company, we won’t end up homeless. I still have some property under my name. As long as you stick to your principles and don’t do anything against your conscience, you’ll eventually rise again.”

James’s eyes grew hot, and he almost shed tears as he looked at the white-haired old man who still had to worry about his affairs.

Just then, the sound of a car stopping outside was heard.

“Who’s here so late?” Mr. Leaford looked puzzled.

The door opened, and Molly Walker and Zoey Lambert rushed in.

“Dad, why didn’t you send me a message when you came back?” Zoey was worried about her father, whose car was still in the company’s garage, but he was nowhere to be seen.

It wasn’t until she saw James standing there that her heart lodged in her throat finally came back down.

Seeing Zoey, James didn’t feel guilty anymore. He lifted his chin confidently and said, “Zoey, don’t worry. Dad has thought it through, and I absolutely won’t let you marry that fool.”

Upon hearing this, Zoey smiled. She pulled Molly aside and told her father, “Dad, don’t worry about it for now. Cousin Ivy has some good news to tell you.”
