The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce Chapter 348 – Not Qualified

Chapter 348: Chapter 347: Not Qualified
Upon hearing her say she didn’t want to live anymore, Joshua Thompson’s facial expression finally softened: “I’m glad you’re okay.”

He thought about the doctor’s warning.

The doctor said that Gillian Thompson had been diagnosed with depression and her mood could be erratic.

Seeing the food on Grace Harrison’s head, he immediately connected it to Gillian’s illness.

If it were before, Gillian would never have done something like this.

Seeing Joshua appear, Grace unconsciously clenched her fingers.

As she watched the affectionate exchange between Gillian and Joshua, it seemed they had a good relationship.

She had read gossip about the Thompson family; the second son of the Thompson family doted on Gillian. Once, when someone tried to pursue Gillian and stalked her, he sent the person to the hospital the very next day.

If Joshua believed only Gillian’s side of the story, would he take revenge against her?

It was impossible to say she wasn’t afraid; she didn’t have the confidence of Gillian. If she lost the opportunity to study, her life would be over.

She might be forced to inherit her family’s business and even obey her father’s wishes to marry.

This was not what she wanted.

Thinking about it, Grace’s heart clenched fiercely.

Gillian’s affectionate attitude toward Joshua shocked Vivian Wilson.

Who said Gillian had been abandoned by the Thompson family? With Joshua’s attitude, he was completely a devoted sister-enthusiast!

Vivian looked sympathetically at Grace.

Now that her brother was here, let’s see how she could handle this situation.

Grace lowered her head, her fingers tightly clenched as she grew more nervous.

Joshua walked over to her side.

Grace held her breath, staring blankly at the handsome yet indifferent man.

“I’m sorry.” Joshua apologized immediately.

“Second brother…”

Gillian wanted to justify herself, but Joshua continued: “My sister has depression, her emotions are unstable. If she has offended you, I apologize on her behalf.”

“Second brother, why are you apologizing? It’s her fault! You don’t know that she shamelessly seduced our big brother…” Gillian was about to say that she seduced Damian when a few more people entered from the door.

Molly Walker walked in front, followed by Amanda Leaford, Joshua Thompson, and Damian Thompson.

Seeing them, Gillian was so surprised that her mouth opened wide.

How could they be here?!

Amanda looked at Gillian, her eyes shifting to Gillian’s face and legs, and her expression turned bad.

It seemed that not only did Joshua spend a fortune to heal Gillian, but he also sent her to this university.

Ivy was right; her silly son had done something stupid again.

Amanda pointed at Gillian and questioned Joshua: “Didn’t you say you sent her back to your hometown? What is the meaning of this? Are you planning to keep her hidden away like your secret lover?”

Joshua’s face changed instantly.

He had said before that he would send Gillian back to their hometown, but now he was being slapped in the face.

He glanced at Molly, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness.

If it weren’t for this sister, Gillian’s presence at the school wouldn’t have been revealed.

“Joshua, you’re being too foolish!” Amanda was so angry that she could barely catch her breath, and she almost fainted.

How could she, who was so smart, give birth to such a stupid son?

Her eldest son, third son, and youngest daughter were all like her. Only this second son was really stupid.

“You’re even hiding this from us, treating us like wild beasts! She almost killed your younger brother! Are you not satisfied until you kill me?” Amanda clutched her chest, and Molly quickly helped her.

Gillian stood with her crutch, looking lost and drained of energy, like a withering leaf about to fall.

So many people suddenly appeared, and Grace was stunned for a few seconds. But the next moment, Damian’s gaze felt like a heavy hammer striking her face.

Damian’s eyes fell on her, and she couldn’t see them clearly from a distance.

For some reason, she didn’t want this side of her to be seen by Damian, so she quickly lowered her head and turned her back to them.

She didn’t feel embarrassed at all before, but now she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

She didn’t want so many people to see her covered with oil and vegetable leaves.

It was too humiliating.

She stood there, scared, her eyes involuntarily reddening around the edges.

A stack of towels and a mirror were handed to her.

Grace Harrison looked up and saw Molly Walker’s beautiful, gentle face.

“Wipe it off.”

Seeing Molly, a warmth spread through Grace’s eyes, and her nose felt a little sour.

Just now, she had been trying hard not to give in, but deep down, she was still afraid of Gillian Thompson.

However, Molly and Damian Thompson’s arrival suddenly dispelled the gloom around her.

She knew that she would no longer be as passive as she had been just now.

“Miss Harrison, what exactly happened?”

Before Gillian could speak, Molly took the initiative to ask Grace.

After calming down and wiping her face, Grace systematically recounted how Gillian had bullied her.

“Miss Thompson wanted to cut in line, and when she saw that I wouldn’t let her, she probably held a grudge. After I got my food, she came over, cursed at me, and then just dumped the food on my head.” Afraid that Gillian would contradict her, she quickly added, “I wouldn’t dare bully her; she’s disabled. If she blamed me, I wouldn’t be able to clear my name even if I jumped into the Great River.”

Her words made sense; who would go out of their way to bully someone with a crippled leg? If they were blamed, it would haunt them for life.

Maybe others wouldn’t believe her, but Grace wasn’t wealthy. She would never take the initiative to bully Gillian unless someone else bullied her first.

Molly looked at Nicholas Thompson, who remained silent.

Gillian dared not speak. She lowered her head with a flustered look on her face.

She wanted to live discreetly, not wanting to be discovered by the Thompson family, but Damian’s attitude towards Grace was too hard for her to bear.

Why was she kicked out of the Thompson family, while someone like Grace could be treated differently by her brother?

This injustice was like poisonous ants gnawing at her heart, making her jealous and furious.

She wanted to warn Grace, to tell her to stay away from her brother and stop her delusions.

But Grace said that since she had been kicked out of the Thompson family, she had no say in her business.

Seeing Nicholas silent, Gillian panicked: “She’s lying; that’s not what happened at all.”

Her voice was noticeably weaker.

Damian stood beside Grace, and under the gold-rimmed glasses, his pure, clear phoenix eyes showed a hint of worry: “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Grace’s shoulder trembled slightly, her face reddening all the way down to her neck.

Seeing Damian like this, Gillian’s eyes turned red with rage, and she lost her composure: “Brother, don’t be fooled by this kind of woman! I’ve seen a lot of women like her, with impure intentions, trying to marry into a wealthy family!”

“I admit, I started the fight on purpose. That’s because her intentions were clear: she’s trying to seduce you, an enchantress. I just wanted to warn her not to go too far, but she said I wasn’t qualified to interfere in her business and that I wasn’t good enough.”

As she spoke, Gillian’s tears began to fall.

Yes, she wasn’t good enough, but was Grace?

How did a village girl from a broken family, whose father was a bricklayer, have any right to be her sister-in-law?

“Whether her intentions are pure or not, it’s none of your business.” Damian’s expression was indifferent as his handsome face remained composed.

He took a piece of tissue and gently wiped the stains off the girl’s head, being both thorough and careful.

Everyone knew Damian didn’t care for women and rarely talked about anything aside from work. However, it seemed that his relationship with this girl, Grace, was indeed different.

Gillian’s face suddenly turned pale.

She never thought Damian would treat her like this.

Previously, both Joshua Thompson and Ivy Thompson had plainly expressed their disgust towards her, yet Damian seemed to turn a blind eye, not making things difficult or scolding her.

She thought Damian, like Nicholas, still loved her the same way as before, just without expressing it.

That’s why she instinctively tried to teach Grace a lesson, thinking Grace didn’t deserve her brother.

And now, Damian had actually confronted her in front of everyone.

Gillian felt cold from head to toe.

Seeing how Damian behaved, Vivian Wilson’s mouth opened slightly, her fingers clenched into fists.

She had interacted with Damian before, and he had always maintained a one-meter distance from her, both germophobic and courteous.

She thought he was like that with everyone, but now she realized there was an exception.

Damian calmly cleaned the dirt off of Grace’s head, not feeling dirty at all.

At this moment, Vivian Wilson wished that she had been the one whose food had been dumped on her head.
