The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce Chapter 366 – Ridicule for a Lifetime

Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Ridicule for a Lifetime
“No problem.” Natalie Lambert grinned wickedly, “You can eat your fill.”

“Catherine, I just agreed to have lunch with Natalie.” Tiffany Smith awkwardly declined Catherine’s kindness.

“With her? Tiffany, are you joking?” Catherine sneered, pointing at the crowd outside, “Look at the people lining up outside. If you eat with her, you won’t have time to eat before the competition starts. Look at these people, who knows how long they’ll have to wait in line. Don’t believe me, ask Natalie if she got a number and how many tables are ahead of her.”

Hearing Catherine’s aggressive words, Natalie Lambert let out a cold laugh.

“I don’t need to get in line. My cousin booked a private room.” Natalie didn’t even look at Catherine as she spoke to Tiffany Smith, “You don’t mind having lunch with my cousins, right?”

Cousins meant the young masters of the Thompson family.

And the cousin, naturally, was Ivy Thompson.

Having lunch with these people, Tiffany Smith not only didn’t mind but was also a bit excited.

Ivy Thompson was a member of the “W” organization, able to get front-row tickets, not just simply powerful, she, of course, wanted to have a look.

“Of course I don’t mind. I even want to thank your cousin in person. Thank her for getting me tickets.”

Tiffany Smith’s fair face flushed with excitement.

“Tickets? What tickets?” Catherine quickly picked up on the key information, “You guys got tickets?”

Tiffany Smith wanted to reply, but considering Catherine’s personality and what Natalie Lambert had said, she swallowed her words.

Natalie Lambert smirked at Catherine, taking Tiffany with her to the private room.

Watching them enter the private room smoothly, Catherine suddenly felt unsatisfied with the seat she had snatched.

The table she had grabbed was small and couldn’t hold many dishes.

But what frustrated her the most was that Natalie had no intention of telling her the truth.

Whether they had gotten tickets or not, she wouldn’t tell her.

“Humph! It’s all thanks to her cousin anyway. What’s so great about that!” She kicked the table corner, wincing in pain.

Not long after Natalie Lambert and her friend entered the private room, both the Thompson and Leaford families had arrived.

Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher sat together, while Tiffany Smith sat not far from them, looking excited and blushing.

Many people in the room were those she could only see in magazines or on the news, yet they were right in front of her, talking.

Tiffany Smith sat next to Natalie Lambert, her body tense and her face flushed.

Natalie Lambert saw her excitement and introduced her to her family with a smile.

“This is my friend, Tiffany Smith.” Natalie gave a big grin, pushing Tiffany to the front of everyone.

“Hello, everyone.” Tiffany Smith stood up to greet them.

Molly Walker looked at her with amusement, and Tiffany nervously said to her, “Thank you, Miss Thompson, for the tickets.”

“You’re welcome, it was no trouble at all.”

Though Molly said that, Tiffany Smith was still very excited.

Did Ivy manage to get tickets for all these people?

Seeing Tiffany Smith’s excited demeanor, Molly Walker chuckled and remained silent.

She didn’t have such great ability but had only bought scalped tickets.

Money could make the ghosts work, let alone these tickets.

Some leaders’ families weren’t interested in the design competition and sold them privately through intermediaries. All it took was a bit of research and willingness to spend money to get them.

Money was the least of her concerns after managing the organization for so many years.

“By the way, I have something to tell everyone.” Molly thought for a moment and decided to mention that she would be participating in the contest as well. “I will be representing the ‘W’ organization in this design competition.”

The room went silent for a moment.

“You’re participating in the competition?” Natalie was both surprised and delighted, “That’s great news! I’ve heard about your talent for jewelry design but have never had the chance to witness it. Now, we can see it for ourselves.”

“Which number are you, do you need our help?” Damian Thompson was also somewhat surprised.

Joshua Thompson, on the other hand, remained much calmer.

It wouldn’t be strange for something to happen with this sister.

“We need to guard the scene securely this time. There can be no accidents.” Based on previous experiences, his fourth sister had many enemies who might cause trouble.

“I heard some rivals like to plagiarize competitors’ works, with the purpose of leaving them with no way out. Fourth sister, be sure to protect your work and don’t let others see it.”

After saying this, Joshua Thompson subconsciously looked at Nicholas Thompson. “Don’t tell anyone about Fourth sister’s participation in the competition, including your absent-minded sister.”

If Ivy had any competitors, it would be no one but Gillian Thompson and Violet Summers. The fact that his fourth sister only told her family on the last day showed how important and confidential this competition was.

Joshua was well aware of this, but Nicholas’s words were a clear reminder that he had caused trouble for the Thompson family.

Nicholas did not refute, as he knew he had done many outrageous things and could only make up for them in time.

The only member of the Thompson family not present at the moment was Daniel.

Daniel had already been staying in the hotel for a full day.

Since he had openly pretended to have dementia, he had been waiting in the hotel without complaint.

Damian said that after the New Year, he would send Daniel back to their mansion in Sunnydale.

With thousands of square feet of space and complete recreational facilities, the mansion would be far less boring than his confinement in the hotel.

The doorbell rang “ding dong”.

Daniel stood up vigilantly and looked out through the peephole.

It was Gillian outside the door.

“Miss Thompson, Mr. Thompson is resting inside and not seeing anyone,” recognizing Gillian, the bodyguard quickly stopped her from going any further.

“I came to see my Daddy, I’ll leave after that.” Gillian lifted her chin.

Ever since the last incident, her classmates had found out that she had been abandoned by the Thompson family.

Fortunately, her second brother had helped her out, personally delivering things to her every day, so the news of her abandonment had gradually faded.

Nicholas’s presence still made people at school wary of her.

Even if she wasn’t as she used to be, she was still the sister Nicholas acknowledged as his own.

She had wanted to see Daniel for a long time, and today she finally found the opportunity to do so.

“Daddy, open the door, Gabriel is here to see you. Please let me in,” Gillian pleaded in her voice. “I know you’re still angry with me, and although I’ve done a lot of outrageous things, I know I’m wrong.”

“Daddy, whether you believe it or not, I always treated you as my real father. I always wanted to take care of you when you get old, just like when you were sick and I took care of you. No matter what happens, you will always be my most respected father.”

.

Hearing this confession, Daniel’s face softened slightly.

When he was sick, Gillian had taken care of him for a long time. The doctor said that if it weren’t for her good care, he would have been left with lingering health problems.

It was because of this that he had always doted on this daughter.

But could he still trust her?

Thinking of the things she had done, Daniel sat on the long balcony, closed his eyes slowly.

“Daddy, I just want to see how you’re doing. I really worry about you,” Gillian’s voice grew smaller and smaller. “I’ll leave after seeing you. I promise not to stay a minute longer.”

“Even pets feel love for their owners, Daddy. Even if you consider me a pet you raised, you must believe that I have feelings for you.”

The hotel corridor was eerily quiet.

Just as the bodyguard was about to pull Gillian away, the door suddenly opened.

Daniel’s stern face appeared in everyone’s line of sight.

“Daddy!”

Gillian broke free from the bodyguard’s grip, her tearful eyes settling on Daniel. “Daddy, are you okay?”

As she spoke, she looked Daniel up and down, her face full of concern.

Daniel silently stepped aside, neither warmly nor coldly saying, “Come in.”

“Daddy, didn’t you go to the design competition?” Gillian followed him into the presidential suite. “I heard everyone from the Thompson family and Leaford family went. My sister got the tickets. They knew you are not sick, so why are you being held in the hotel like a criminal?”

Gillian grew angrier as she spoke, as if she were defending Daniel’s honor.

She glanced up at Daniel and found him neither sad nor happy, his emotions not fluctuating at all.

This condition made him look like he really had dementia!

“Daddy…”

“Who said I’m not sick,” Daniel suddenly spoke with an inexplicable chill in his voice. “I am sick, and the whole world knows I’m sick.”

A shiver ran down Gillian’s spine.

What was going on? Would Daniel really pretend to be sick for the rest of his life?

“Daddy, you… don’t really plan on continuing like this, do you?”

“You are Mr. Thompson, the undisputed richest man in Sunnydale. How could you have dementia? If word gets out…” Gillian’s voice trailed off, stopping herself from saying anything more.

The thought of the richest man being afflicted with such a disease would make people ridicule him.
