The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce Chapter 361 – How to Explain

Chapter 361: Chapter 360: How to Explain
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, so much so that she almost forgot that Jerry Jenkins was still here.

After Mr. Jenkins left, she planned to leave as well, but was stopped by Jerry.

“Miss Jackson, don’t forget what you promised me before.”

Scarlett’s face went slightly stiff, but then she laughed: “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word.”

She didn’t expect Jerry to be so infatuated with love, still thinking about Zoey Lambert.

“I thought you would have feelings for Emma Smith, but it turns out the one you like is Zoey Lambert.”

She clearly remembered that Jerry almost slept with Emma.

Although drugs were involved at the time, Jerry’s body should have felt something.

Recalling his near-incident with Emma, Jerry sneered, his cold voice passing from his nostrils to his throat. He looked at the woman in front of him with a mocking smile, his face somewhat ugly.

Scarlett’s heart trembled, and she feigned a serious smile: “Thank you for today. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know how I would have ended things.”

She never expected Jerry to help her.

It turned out to be because of Zoey Lambert.

“It turns out that everyone in the Jenkins family is full of love. Your brother broke with you guys because of Ivy Thompson, and you betrayed your brother because of Zoey Lambert. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.”

“Really?” Jerry laughed, looking like a cunning old fox. “Actually, even if I hadn’t said anything, he would’ve guessed you tampered with his cell phone.”

Scarlett’s beautiful face twisted slightly.

Jerry blinked his clear, beautiful eyes: “A man’s intuition is very accurate. If he didn’t know you tampered with his cell phone, he wouldn’t have asked like that.”

“Why did you help me, then?” Scarlett was surprised. “Aren’t you afraid he’ll resent you?”

“He doesn’t even care about me as his brother, why should I care about him?” Jerry raised an eyebrow, his smile inscrutable. “I helped you because I care about Zoey Lambert. Miss Jackson, you’ll help me win her over, won’t you?”

Jerry’s words made Scarlett’s heart instantly lift.

At the time, she only wanted to secure Jerry’s support, so she made such big claims, but Jerry’s words carried a warning.

If she couldn’t help him pursue Zoey Lambert, Jerry would definitely make trouble for her.

Scarlett’s eyes dropped, and her heart felt heavy.

Wasn’t this just jumping from one fire pit to another?

Michael Gallagher left the Jenkins house and browsed through his cell phone’s call history but ultimately couldn’t bring himself to make another call.

Today, he had already called Molly Walker dozens of times.

He found himself so annoying.

After thinking for a moment, he finally dialed Jake Leaford’s number.

Jake was recently trying to break up with Elizabeth Aitken.

Since the last incident was exposed, Elizabeth had left in the middle of the night, even changing jobs.

This time, Elizabeth left him again.

Hearing that Michael called him out for drinks, Jake rushed to the bar without a word.

Michael reserved a private room far from the noisy area, and as soon as Jake sat down, he started chugging.

“Did you have a fight with Molly?” After finishing a bottle of wine, Jake finally thought of his buddy.

Usually, Michael rarely asked him out for drinks, unless he really couldn’t handle it on his own.

Michael didn’t speak, thinking of Molly and Jeremy Norman’s affair, and poured drink after drink down his throat.

In their three years of marriage, Molly never forgot his birthday.

But today she did.

“Oh, isn’t today your birthday?” Jake brought up the worst possible topic. “Are we going to spend your birthday like this?”

Michael, who was about to take a drink, paused. Under the dim light, it was difficult to see him clearly.

He wasn’t the type to enjoy celebrating his birthday, but since getting married, Molly celebrated it for him every year, making him start to care about anniversaries. He even specifically chose today to propose.

“I don’t like celebrating my birthday.” He picked up his glass and clinked it with Jake’s.

Jake’s eyes fell on his wrist and laughed meaningfully.

Even though he claimed not to care, he still wore the gift Molly gave him.

This gift seemed to be from Molly. When he first received it, he showed it to Jake.

Jake liked the beads at first sight. With such quality and craftsmanship, even if he asked someone to buy them, it would be difficult to find. He didn’t expect Molly, his delicate wife, to buy them.

Back then, he even joked that Michael was spending the Gallagher family’s money to buy things for himself, as if it was just changing hands.

Looking back now, Molly didn’t care about the Gallagher family’s property at all. Perhaps her net worth was even higher than his and Michael’s combined.

No wonder she could get such a good item at that time.

“It’s your birthday today, what good stuff did she send you? Show it to me!” Jake Leaford was excited.

He usually liked to play with trinkets, and natural objects could reveal a unique charm with some polishing. It gave a sense of mystery and excitement to unbox them.

Molly Walker seemed to know her stuff, maybe she sent Michael Gallagher something good again.

Michael ignored him, glancing at him flatly, “Isn’t this good wine enough to shut your mouth?”

Jake quickly shut up.

He had tried probing Michael repeatedly, but Michael didn’t take the bait, which meant he was in a bad mood.

“Did you have a fight with her?” Jake put down his wine glass, suddenly thinking of Elizabeth Aitken and said with a bitter smile, “We really are in the same boat. Elizabeth left as well, and I still haven’t found her.”

“I wanted to ask you to help me check with Molly, but I guess that’s not gonna happen.”

“You deserve it.” Michael said coldly, with a mocking smile.

Jake took a deep breath and sighed bitterly.

“You’re right, I deserve it. I’m tasting the bitter fruit now, I shouldn’t have lied to her.” Jake took a big sip and said with a sigh, “There’s no room for deception in love, right? Did you have another disagreement with her?”

Thinking of what happened in the hospital, Michael clenched his fingers tightly.

Time passed by the minute, and it was still an hour away from midnight.

This day was almost over, and he hadn’t heard Molly say happy birthday yet.

Molly, who had fallen asleep in the Leaford family’s villa, was suddenly awakened.

She looked at the time, and it was already past midnight.

After donating blood, she had been extremely tired. The Norman family tried to persuade her to rest in the hospital, but she firmly refused.

After calling Michael and finding out that Scarlett Jackson had picked up the phone, she was so angry that she skipped dinner and went straight to bed. She slept until the early morning of the next day.

She looked at the time on her cell phone, then glanced again at the date and jumped up.

At this time…

She checked the date again, confirming her suspicions.

Yesterday was Michael Gallagher’s birthday!

No wonder Michael was so angry; she had completely forgotten about it!

What should she do next, how should she explain this?

The more Molly thought about it, the more nervous she became. Her heart was pounding, and she couldn’t sleep well.

At first, she felt justified, and she even thought of reasons for breaking up in her mind. But now, she felt increasingly guilty.

Looking at the numerous missed calls on her cell phone, she felt a heavy weight on her chest that she couldn’t relieve.

Thinking about the design competition tomorrow, Molly lay in bed in a big font, forcing herself to sleep, but stayed awake with her eyes open until dawn.

Early the next morning, Zoey Lambert and Natalie Lambert woke her up.

“Let’s go, let’s go, go watch the competition!”

Natalie Lambert grabbed Molly’s hand, her face full of excitement: “The final match of the design competition is about to start, it’s only a few kilometers away from our house, and there’s also a jewelry exhibition, let’s go shopping together and see if there’s anything we like.”

They knew that Molly once wanted to participate in the competition, but later withdrew due to various reasons. Both Zoey and Natalie loved jewelry, so as soon as they found out that today was the final match of the design competition, they immediately came to find Molly, wanting to take her along to watch the competition.

Even if she couldn’t take part, watching it was still possible, Natalie thought.

Seeing the excited look on Natalie’s face, Molly rubbed her temples. “Did you get tickets?”

The audience tickets for the design competition were hard to get. It’s a world-class competition, and top designers from all over the world gathered in Capital City. There were only a few seats available for the competition, and ordinary people couldn’t get tickets.

“I got it, I got it.” Natalie proudly raised her chin, “Though they are in the last few rows, at least we got in. After we get in, we’ll move a small stool and squeeze to the front.”

Molly smiled helplessly.

Due to the limited seating at the competition, spectators in the back could move small stools to the front to watch, but it would inevitably be uncomfortable.

“Return your tickets, I have a few front row tickets here, so we can take uncle and the others to watch.”

“Front row?” Natalie gasped, “You… you… how many front row tickets did you get?”

Without certain resources and financial power, the organizers wouldn’t sell front row tickets to just anyone.

But this cousin managed to get front row tickets!

“As many as you want.” Molly winked, “How many do you want, cousin?”

Natalie’s eyes lit up: “I have two friends who want to watch. Can you get front row tickets? Not the first row, but within the first five!”

She was also fond of jewelry and had friends who were interested in the same.

If she managed to get tickets within the first five rows, she would gain lots of face!
