“What do you mean by that?” Nicholas Thompson quickly calmed down, but couldn’t suppress the pounding in his heart. “Did you find her parents?”

Molly Walker sneered coldly and was about to reveal the truth when Gillian Thompson’s sharp voice cut in:

“Ivy Thompson!” Gillian Thompson hurriedly approached, her eyes red like a rabbit’s. “I admit I shouldn’t have tried to take credit for your achievements, and I know I was wrong But do you have to see me dead before you’re satisfied?”

Hearing her mention her own parents, Gillian Thompson became frantic and threw caution to the wind.

Ivy Thompson had close ties with the “W” organization, so finding her parents wouldn’t be difficult, especially after the last family dinner when she knew she had made numerous mistakes. But she didn’t want her second brother to know the truth.

Among the entire Thompson family, perhaps only Nicholas Thompson truly cared for her. If even he were to be disappointed in her, she would never be able to regain her footing!

She was terrified, afraid that Molly Walker would reveal everything.

Molly Walker just smiled silently.

“Second brother, will you take me to the airport? I’m a little scared to go alone.” Gillian Thompson turned to Nicholas Thompson for help. Her thinking was simple: as long as she could get Nicholas Thompson away, he wouldn’t discover the truth.

Nicholas Thompson remained silent, deeply looking at her.

Everything was left unsaid.

Molly Walker smiled, knowing full well that it’s impossible to awaken someone who’s merely pretending to sleep. Some things are best left hinted at.

The cell phone vibrated a few times; she looked down and saw that it was Emma Smith calling.

Ultimately, Nicholas Thompson didn’t take Gillian Thompson to the airport, leaving her heart feeling half-frozen.

Thinking of Molly Walker’s unfinished statement, she felt drained of strength.

After an unknown amount of time, she gritted her teeth and bravely called Violet Summers.

“Violet ”

“I heard.” Violet Summers interrupted her. “I’ve never seen a woman as stupid as you!”

“I’m sorry ” Gillian Thompson hurriedly apologized, admitting that Violet Summers was right. She was indeed too stupid. If she had confessed her feelings to Daniel Thompson sooner, even if the truth came out, he wouldn’t be as estranged from her as he is now.

Now, she was stuck between a rock and a hard place, with even Nicholas Thompson on the verge of disillusionment.

“There’s only one way now.”

“What’s the solution?” Gillian Thompson’s desperate heart leapt with hope.

“Create momentum.” Violet Summers’ voice was cold. “Make everyone think that Ivy Thompson’s relationship with ‘W’ is fake.”

Violet Summers sneered; she had spent an entire day investigating Molly Walker and the organization’s news, only to come up empty-handed and even be asked by her superiors not to look into it any further.

Just who was this Molly Walker, and why would even the organization’s senior executives protect her!

As she thought about her conjecture, Violet Summers sneered coldly.

Only by leaking this information could they force Molly Walker to reveal her identity.

Molly Walker had used her connections with the organization to clear the way for the Thompson family; now, all Violet Summers had to do was close that path.

“Would that work?” Gillian Thompson was somewhat bewildered. “Her relationship with that organization is real; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to get the Chamber of Commerce’s invitation. If I do this will it anger her ”

Thinking of the leverage Ivy Thompson held over her, Gillian Thompson hesitated.

Violet Summers was impatient: “Do you have any other options? You don’t actually want her to marry Jeremy Norman, do you?”

The last thread of restraint in Gillian Thompson’s heart snapped.

Violet Summers was right; she had no other choice.

Inside the Richardson family’s villa, Emma Smith had changed her clothes and was calling on the servants to prepare some snacks.

She didn’t expect that Ivy Thompson would really agree to come and visit her home.

She recounted the situation to Ivy Thompson, telling her that her father wanted to meet her and asking if she was willing to come over. Ivy Thompson said she had some free time and could join them for afternoon tea.

Upon hearing this news, Samuel Richardson was somewhat stunned.

He didn’t expect Molly Walker to agree to discuss matters with him so easily.

Samuel Richardson grew anxious as the meeting approached.

He couldn’t guess what Molly Walker’s relationship with the “W” organization was, but it was definitely not simple. Violet Summers was a team leader within the organization, and Molly Walker was even more formidable than her, being at least team leader-level or above.

It’s not just the team leader of the “W” organization he’d curry favor with, but even an ordinary member.

No one would ever complain about having too few connections.

As Molly entered the Richardson family’s villa, she saw Samuel Richardson and Emma Smith standing side by side waiting for her.

“Miss Thompson ” Samuel hurriedly came forward, “It must have been hard to travel such a long way, please come in and sit down!”

Seeing his polite manner, Molly’s heart suddenly trembled.

When she first met Samuel, he was high-spirited, cold, and authoritative. However, today, he seemed like a completely different person.

Emma had mentioned that Samuel wanted to apologize to her. Molly agreed to talk to him not because she wanted to hear his apology, but to ask about his attitude towards Isabelle.

Samuel Richardson’s influence was not to be underestimated. If he wanted to do something about Isabelle’s situation, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to escape unscathed.

She knew that after news about the Chamber of Commerce, more people would try to curry favor with her based on her connections with the organization, and Samuel would be no exception.

“Miss Walker, Emma has already told you the details, right? Actually, I want to sincerely apologize to you this time for the harm caused by the kidnapping last time. To be honest, I want to compensate you and hope you won’t hold a grudge anymore,” Samuel said.

Molly’s eyes darkened when she heard the mention of the kidnapping.

Ironically, it was Isabelle who saved her from almost losing her innocence during that kidnapping.

“Since Mr. Richardson brought it up, I’ll be straightforward,” Molly said coldly, sitting upright in her chair, her back resting against it. “I don’t want any compensation from you, but I do request that you don’t make any attempt to save Isabelle, like changing her death sentence to a suspended one, or a life sentence instead.”

Samuel’s face stiffened.

He had indeed thought about doing this. Saving Isabelle was now impossible, but saving her life wouldn’t be difficult.

“Not interfering in her affairs shouldn’t be too difficult, right?” Molly chuckled, her lips curling into a breathtaking arc.

Samuel hurriedly tried to smile: “Yes, no problem. Even a god wouldn’t be able to save her after what Isabelle has done. I am a citizen of Orientopia and dare not go against the law. But this doesn’t count as compensation. You can make other requests.”

Getting Samuel’s assurance, Molly’s heart relaxed a bit.

She knew that Samuel hadn’t made any recent attempts to save Isabelle, but that didn’t guarantee he wouldn’t try in the future. As long as he promised not to interfere, she had confidence that her grandmother would be avenged.

“Since you said I could make another request, I won’t be polite ” Molly smiled, revealing her adorable canine teeth. “I’m running low on cash lately. Mr. Richardson, could you lend me some money?”

Borrowing money

Samuel’s heart suddenly sank.

Although she said “borrow,” he knew that once he “lent” the money, there was little chance of getting it back.

“Seven hundred fifty thousand dollars isn’t a huge sum for Mr. Richardson, right?”

Seven hundred fifty thousand dollars!

Samuel froze, his expression incredulous.

He hadn’t expected Molly to ask for such a large sum, all at once!

“Seven hundred fifty thousand dollars isn’t a small amount ” Follow the latest novels 𝒐𝒏 n𝒐/velbin(.)com

“Of course not. This money was, after all, taken by Isabelle from our Thompson family. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for me to borrow it back from you, right?” Molly blinked, wearing an innocent smile.

Samuel’s heart ached with anger.

He knew about the seven hundred fifty thousand dollars, which was the money Isabelle used to “hire a hitman.” He never imagined that he would end up having to pay it back!

Samuel’s face turned pale, lips trembling.

The words he spoke now felt like poured water, and he wished he could slap himself hard in the face.

At that moment, the housekeeper walked in, his face white with urgency.

He paced anxiously near the door, occasionally gesturing towards Samuel.

Samuel took out his cell phone and casually flipped through it, only to see a news message forwarded by the housekeeper just now.

Upon reading the message, Samuel frowned at Molly.

The news said that Ivy Thompson had no connection to the “W” organization and that everything was fake, including the ticket to the Chamber of Commerce event. She had spent a huge amount of money to buy it from outside sources. The blogger even confidently provided payment screenshots and chat records.

Complete real evidence!

The news that Ivy Thompson was an imposter exploded like a bomb, attracting attention from all corners of their social circle.

Ivy Thompson’s name quickly gained fame, with everyone wanting to know who would be bold enough to impersonate someone from the “W” organization!

Did she not want to live?!
