The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce - Chapter 368 - 367: Playing Disappearing

Chapter 368: Chapter 367: Playing Disappearing

Observing Scarlett Jackson’s fluctuating complexion, Mr. Jenkins, who had lived for most of his life, vaguely guessed that something must have happened.

“What’s wrong? The other party is not willing?”

Scarlett bit her lower lip and shook her head slightly: “The other party disappeared on me. They told me just fine that they would meet me at the competition venue, but suddenly I couldn’t contact them.”

Not only that, but she could not even get through their phone. Scarlett did not dare to tell Mr. Jenkins that she might have been blocked by the other party.

“Let’s wait a bit longer then. The organizer of this competition told me before that there would be a representative from the ‘W’ organization participating in the competition. If we still can’t get in touch, we’ll go directly to their players.”

Scarlett nodded, “We have no other choice.”

Although lowering their standards by catering to players might seem like a decrease in quality, it was a desperate measure in a desperate time.

The painting by Nathan Parker is worth millions of dollars, and if the other party intends to claim it as their own, then they are at a disadvantage.

After this episode, Scarlett felt as if she had been awakened by a hammer.

Her only reliance was the late Edward Jenkins, but if the other party did not admit it, then Edward Jenkins’ suicide note and testament would be of no use.

The so-called Big Boss’s succession within the organization was even more groundless.

At the thought of this, a chill ran down Scarlett’s spine.

In the end, all that the Jenkins and Jackson families have done is gamble, betting on the character of the current leader of the “W” organization.

This gamble is very likely to lose. The fact that the other party cut off communication with her shows that they did not take them seriously at all.

“Did you reveal your identity?” Mr. Jenkins’ wrinkles deepened on his face.

He didn’t have long to live, and his only hope was to recover his son’s lost inheritance abroad.

The organization was founded by Edward, and if he couldn’t get it back, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to Edward even after he died and went to hell.

“I don’t think so.” Scarlett sounded dejected, “I’ve been very careful, and I haven’t revealed it to anyone…”

Having said that, Scarlett suddenly thought of someone.

Ivy Thompson!

That’s right, after she told Ivy Thompson about the organization, Ivy disappeared on her.

Could it be that Ivy Thompson leaked the information?

But didn’t Violet Summers say that she was not part of the organization?

Scarlett immediately looked at Violet Summers, who had been standing by her side silently, and asked with a trembling voice, “Violet, are you sure that Ivy Thompson only has transactions of power and money with the organization?”

Violet, startled, nodded calmly, “I’m sure. It was the Big Boss of the organization who said it himself.”

Even if he said it himself, it’s possible that he was just covering for Ivy Thompson.

Now, Scarlett regretted showing off in front of Ivy Thompson as it was equivalent to exposing her identity.

After all, the fact that the Big Boss of the “W” organization would appear in this competition was only known to a few people other than her,

Exposing this matter was like laying her identity bare for others to see.

Scarlett’s heart beat faster and faster, her face flushed with anger.

Just then, Violet suddenly noticed the people from the Leaford and Thompson families cheering towards the red carpet outside the venue, and her eyes narrowed skeptically.

Everyone on the red carpet was a contestant. If not for being targeted by Molly Walker, Violet would also have been on the red carpet.

However, later, the “W” organization kicked her out, and Michael Gallagher did not let her continue to represent the Gallagher family in the competition.

Logically speaking, both Leaford Group and Thompson Group should not have any representatives participating in the competition.

Violet suddenly thought of someone.

Molly Walker!

Only if Molly Walker participated in the competition would the people of the Leaford and Thompson families be that happy.

Violet’s eyes widened as she counted the people from the Leaford and Thompson families, and found that Molly Walker was indeed not there.

Could it be…

She suddenly turned her head to look at the area on the red carpet where a girl in a long dress, wearing a mask and sunglasses, waved to the people of the Leaford and Thompson families.

That graceful figure, radiant and noble temperament, even wearing a mask and glasses, Violet recognized at a glance.

Violet was shocked.

Why was Molly able to participate when she couldn’t?

Jealous, Violet’s eyes turned red.

“Miss Jackson,” Violet enunciated each word as she informed Scarlett of her discovery, “Molly Walker is participating in the competition.”

“What?” Scarlett, who hadn’t yet recovered from the recent events, heard this shocking news, “How can she still participate? Weren’t her qualifications revoked?”

Because of the accident, Molly missed the semi-finals, and moreover, due to her falling out with the Norman family, it was even more unlikely that she would continue to compete on their behalf.

“It wasn’t revoked; I saw her.” Violet pointed in the direction of the red carpet, “It’s that woman in the long dress and shawl. Even though she’s wearing glasses, you can still tell it’s her. Just now, her family members were waving at her.”

Scarlett glanced in the direction of the red carpet and only saw the retreating figure of a woman entering the venue.

Scarlett’s eyelids twitched involuntarily.

“You didn’t see it wrong, did you?”

“I couldn’t possibly see it wrong.” Violet’s voice was full of certainty, “Even if she turned to ashes, I would recognize her.”

If it weren’t for Molly, she wouldn’t have fallen into such a situation.

Scarlett felt a strange unease in her heart. According to her investigation and understanding, Ivy Thompson did have the strength to participate in the competition. But, who was she representing now?

Suddenly, Scarlett thought of a possibility.

Ivy Thompson couldn’t be the one sent by the “W” organization to participate in the competition, could she?

She exchanged a glance with Violet, and the two of them saw the shock and fear in each other’s eyes.

It couldn’t… possibly be such a coincidence, could it?

Thinking of this possibility, Scarlett felt a bit dizzy.

If Ivy Thompson really was part of the “W” organization, she still needed to confront Ivy Thompson.

Just thinking about this awkwardness made Scarlett feel uncomfortable all over.

What on earth had Ivy Thompson done, that she could even represent the “W” organization in the competition?

“Miss Jackson, what should we do now?”

Violet also thought of this point.

This was an international competition. Firstly, the competition would take place within Orientopia to select the national champion, and later on, they would compete against athletes from other countries.

If Ivy Thompson were to win the championship, not only would it bring glory to the Thompson family, but the Leaford family would also rise with the tide.

Although the event couldn’t compare to the Olympics, it was still an international competition and could bring glory to Orientopia as well.

Violet clenched her teeth tightly, her fingers balled into fists.

There was a time when she also wanted to be someone who brought glory to her country; her design skills were extraordinary, and people had to line up a month in advance to buy her designs. She had been waiting to shine in such a competition, and she never imagined that she would be suppressed by Molly Walker.

“Miss Jackson, we absolutely can’t let her win.” Violet’s teeth itched with hatred.

Scarlett raised her eyebrows, not commenting on Violet’s words.

This time, Ivy Thompson could not win even once.

The Leaford family was currently enjoying a thriving momentum in Capital City, and if they were to receive another boost, it might affect the positions of other families.

The cake could only be distributed so much; if the Leaford family took more, other enterprises would get less.

For emotional and rational reasons, she did not want Ivy Thompson to achieve a good ranking either.

But what if Ivy Thompson was part of the “W” organization?
