Gillian Thompson’s heart was in her throat, and she quickly gave Lily Turner a look.

Lily Turner feigned ignorance, staring at Daniel Thompson with pleading eyes.

No matter what, she had to take Gabriel back this time, and she couldn’t let her go to that old house. It would be hard enough to see each other, let alone recognize their kinship.

Seeing such a look in her eyes made Daniel Thompson feel annoyed, as if something he cherished was being taken away.

Moreover, her mention of “adoptive father” was extremely ironic. Although everyone in the world knew Daniel was Gabriel’s adoptive father, no one had ever dared to question it to his face.

“I am Gabriel’s father, may I know who you are ”

Just as Lily Turner was about to blurt it out, Gillian Thompson hurriedly interrupted and said, “She is my aunt!”

Lily Turner’s eyes widened, unable to believe Gillian Thompson would actually say that. She was clearly her biological mother, not some aunt!

“I’m not I’m her umph umph ”

Just in the nick of time, a rough hand covered her mouth.

Xander Moore covered her mouth while apologizing with a smile on his face, “I’m sorry, my wife isn’t quite right in the head. She wants to take our niece home now that she’s hurt, but we can’t afford to take care of her. I’ll just take her away now, I’m really sorry.”

He smothered Lily Turner’s mouth and practically dragged her away.

Gillian Thompson’s rigid body gradually warmed up, and her numb face finally regained some sensation.

They were so close to being discovered!

Before she could even catch her breath, Daniel Thompson’s deep voice rang out:

“Wait.”

Xander Moore stopped in his tracks, and Lily Turner took the opportunity to break free from his grip, glaring at him angrily.

Daniel Thompson smiled and softened his tone, “Since you are Gabriel’s family, you are also our family. Now that you are here, why not have dinner with us before you go?”

Xander Moore remained silent, while Gillian Thompson turned deathly pale.

Have dinner?!

With Lily Turner’s IQ and EQ, everything would be exposed if she had dinner with the Thompson family!

They couldn’t have this dinner!

Gillian Thompson’s hands gripped the armrest tightly, her fingers digging into the leather armrest as her nails sank deep into it.

“Dad, my uncle and aunt have something to do. They probably won’t have time for dinner today. Let’s do it another day!”

The atmosphere grew tense.

Understanding the situation, Daniel Thompson smiled and said to Xander Moore and Lily Turner, “I originally planned for us to have a family dinner and to prepare some gifts for you to take home. But if you don’t have time ”

“We have time! We have time!” Lily Turner’s eyes lit up upon hearing the word “gift”, “We can rearrange our other plans.”

She ignored Gillian Thompson’s glare and Xander Moore’s anger, all she could think of was money.

It wasn’t her fault for being greedy. Now her son’s illness was a bottomless pit, and for the sake of her son, she could put aside any pride or concern for her daughter. Visjt n𝒐velbin(.)c𝒐m for new updates

Although Gabriel had promised to give them money, she had been detained for so many days and her daughter had not helped at all. Who knew if she would help in the future? It was better to rely on oneself rather than others.

“Alright, wait here. I’ll make a phone call.”

Daniel Thompson walked to the side and made a call. Gillian Thompson vaguely heard him calling Damian Thompson, asking him to bring the car out and pick up the guests to the mansion.

Gillian Thompson glared at Lily Turner hatefully, “What are you trying to do? I’m telling you, if you dare to mess around, not only will you not get one hundred fifty thousand, you won’t even get fifteen dollars!”

Xander Moore also scolded Lily Turner in a low voice, “If Gabriel’s adoptive parents find out, Gabriel will have to return to our house!”

“Let her come home then.” Lily Turner raised her chin, her face full of disdain, “A golden cage or silver cage is not as good as one’s own doghouse. It’s better for her to go to our house than to that old mansion. If they know Gabriel has family, they wouldn’t dare to bully her like this.”

Seeing Daniel’s attitude towards them, not only was Molly not disgusted, but she was also very polite. This meant that Daniel took Gillian seriously, so even if they truly took Gillian away, the Thompson family would definitely give them money and not let Gillian suffer.

“The Thompson family’s old house is in a large mansion in the suburbs, much larger than ten of your houses combined.”

Hearing Lily’s “nonsense,” Gillian trembled with anger.

Even if she died, she would never return to the Moore’s wretched den.

Soon after, Damian and Nicholas arrived in their car.

Seeing this, Lily became so nervous that she didn’t know where to put her hands.

Their wealth was unrivaled in Sunnydale; not to mention their cars. In comparison, their demeanor alone was enough to make them feel ashamed of themselves.

“Where is Joshua?” Daniel asked.

“He went to pick up Ivy.”

Daniel hummed indifferently.

He was growing more and more displeased with his daughter. She hadn’t done anything favorable, but she was always involved in things that tarnished the Thompson family’s reputation.

“This is Gillian’s uncle and aunt.”

Introducing the two of them to his sons.

Seeing Lily, Damian and Nicholas looked surprised, especially Nicholas, who first seemed amazed and then excited.

“Gillian, you found your family?!”

Over the years, Gillian hadn’t been interested in finding her family, but as time went on, they’d gradually forgotten about it. They never expected these people to just show up on their doorstep.

Gillian’s face was full of embarrassment, fearing that Daniel would overthink, so she didn’t dare to show any additional expressions.

“Yes, my aunt and uncle only found me a few days ago.”

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito buzzing.

Previously, Lily had arranged for someone to kidnap Ivy. Although she has stayed in jail for a few days, looking skinny and unrecognizable, she still didn’t dare to take it lightly.

She gave Lily a warning glance and then got into the car.

At this moment, Molly also got into Joshua’s car.

“Are you feeling okay?” Joshua looked at her belly with concern, “If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to. Today’s celebration is for Gillian.”

A hint of irony crept onto Joshua’s disapproving face.

“A celebration?”

When Molly heard that it was a celebration for Gillian, she immediately backed out.

She had no interest in attending these family dinners in the first place, but now that it was a celebration specifically for Gillian, her enthusiasm completely deflated: “Never mind, I’ll just stay at the hospital.”

Just as she was about to get out of the car, she suddenly remembered something and asked, “What did Gillian do to deserve this?”

“She called the bosses of several dozen companies and convinced them to continue cooperating. That crappy organization is also offering her protection. Now, she’s the darling of the company!” Joshua sneered, his tone full of disdain.

As far as he was concerned, this was probably just a drama concocted by Gillian herself, relying on the backing of that crappy organization to toy with everyone in the company. Only those who aren’t misled believe such things.

Molly’s red lips pursed into a straight line, trying hard not to burst out laughing.

“The W organization is offering Gillian protection?”

Joshua’s thick eyebrows raised slightly in surprise, looking at her lazily, “What’s the matter?”

“Did Gillian say she was the one who made the calls?” Molly giggled.

“Dad thinks it was her, but I don’t think she has the ability,” Joshua smirked, “were you the one who made the calls?”
