The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce - Chapter 369 - 368: Is It Too Late to Admit Defeat Now?

Chapter 369: Chapter 368: Is It Too Late to Admit Defeat Now?

She thought of the words Mr. Jenkins had just said.

She couldn’t contact the people in the “W” organization, but Ivy Thompson became the only bridge to connect them.

If she wanted to know more information about the people inside further, she could only find Ivy Thompson and ask her clearly, even if it meant swallowing her pride.

“Mr. Jenkins, the message you got, is Ivy Thompson the person sent by the ‘W’ organization to compete?” Scarlett Jackson did not believe it, so she asked Mr. Jenkins directly.

Mr. Jenkins had heard their conversation just now, and his face was extremely solemn.

“It shouldn’t be.”

Although he said that, Mr. Jenkins and the others had the same idea – Ivy Thompson absolutely must not get a ranking.

After watching Molly Walker enter the venue, the bodyguard beside Michael Gallagher whispered a few words in his ear.

These bodyguards were specially hired by him to protect Molly Walker, and some had already infiltrated the venue.

Though he was aware she was from the “W” organization, and participating in the competition on their behalf, he still worried about her safety.

“Mr. Gallagher, Mr. Jenkins and the others are not far from us. Violet Summers and Scarlett Jackson are also here.”

Michael Gallagher’s eyes darkened, and he indifferently said, “Tell me any news immediately.”

There would definitely be no good outcome with Violet Summers and Scarlett Jackson together.

“Keep an eye on them, and if they try to sabotage the competition, gather evidence.”

“Yes.”

As the contestants entered, the audience also began to stream in.

Catherine Brown saw Natalie Lambert and Tiffany Smith go in with the Thompson and Leaford families, so she hurriedly caught up with them.

After having her ticket checked, Catherine Brown chose a seat in the last row, but could only watch helplessly as Natalie Lambert and Tiffany Smith went to sit in the front rows.

Catherine Brown couldn’t help herself and immediately stood up.

“Natalie Lambert!” Catherine Brown caught up to them, but Natalie Lambert and Tiffany Smith had already taken their seats in the second row.

Catherine Brown stopped in her tracks as if glued to the ground.

She couldn’t believe that Natalie Lambert and Tiffany Smith actually had tickets for the front row, and the second row at that.

Just then, Natalie Lambert also saw Catherine Brown and turned her head slightly, waving to her.

Provocation! This was definitely provocation!

Catherine Brown’s eyes turned red with jealousy.

Finally, she took out her cell phone and mentioned Natalie Lambert in her friends’ group chat.

“Catherine Brown: Why didn’t you tell me that you got front row tickets?”

“Natalie Midnight: I asked you to refund your tickets earlier, but you didn’t. How could I buy front-row tickets for you?”

“Catherine Brown: …”

“Tiffany: Catherine, you are the one who didn’t refund the tickets. You can’t blame Natalie.”

“Catherine Brown: Heh, you just want to make fun of me.”

“Natalie Midnight: You are a joke indeed, but no one wants to see it.”

“Catherine Brown: …”

Catherine Brown looked at Natalie Lambert’s back, shaking with anger.

She was both furious and jealous.

She never expected Natalie Lambert’s cousin to be so powerful that she could get front-row tickets.

Looking at her own last-row ticket stub, which she originally wanted to keep as a souvenir, she now felt it was unbearably irritating.

So she slumped back into her seat.

“Just a ticket from Ivy Thompson, what’s so great about that?”

Catherine Brown’s eyes turned red with anger.

Even though she said that, she couldn’t help but feel jealous.

If she hadn’t made the wrong judgment and stubbornly refused to refund her ticket, she could have enjoyed the second row seat as well.

Catherine Brown grew angrier the more she thought about it.

At this moment, the girl sitting beside her seemed to have heard her words and kept staring at her.

“What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman before?” Catherine Brown couldn’t help but blurt out angrily.

The seats next to her were originally reserved for Natalie Lambert and Tiffany Smith, but after they had their tickets refunded, she didn’t know who the agency sold them to, so she wasn’t friendly to the people next to her either.

Gillian Thompson was just scolded by her, but instead of getting angry, she laughed and asked, “Do you know Ivy Thompson?”

Catherine Brown’s expression stiffened, and she looked at Gillian Thompson suspiciously. The more she looked at her, the more familiar she appeared.

A name suddenly flashed through her mind, and she exclaimed in surprise, “Gillian Thompson?”

A while ago, Gillian Thompson’s affairs with the Thompson family had made quite a stir, so she had also heard much about this woman’s unusual experiences from Natalie Lambert.

In essence, she actually looked down on this woman.

An adopted daughter, not born with a good background but only because of her greed and pestering had caused the Thompson family to abandon her.

Unfortunately, some people were simply shallow.

Now, seeing Gillian Thompson and herself sitting in the same row, Catherine Brown felt ironic and amused.

“I just now saw you not getting along with Natalie Lambert. Actually, I don’t like her either. Although we’ve been cousins for so many years, she’s very snobbish. She’s always playing with people who have money and ability.”

Gillian Thompson scoffed sarcastically with a smile.

Last time her leg was injured by Jeremy Norman, she tried to contact Natalie Lambert, but got no response.

She used to have a good relationship with Natalie and her sister until Molly Walker showed up, and they became strangers to her.

She had seen through the Thompson and Leaford families long ago.

“I don’t know her. She’s friends with my friends. Ivy Thompson got her the second-row tickets.”

Gillian Thompson smirked: “Ivy always has a way to get special tickets.”

Her words were filled with sarcasm.

She then turned to Daniel Thompson and said with a smile, “Daddy, look, they’re in the second row.”

Daniel Thompson followed Gillian’s pointing finger and indeed saw Joshua Thompson sitting in the same row with the Leaford family.

His family sat in front, but as the head of the household, he sat in the last row. This treatment made his mood complex, indescribable, and depressed.

In the past, the Thompson family would always show him respect, but now he seemed to be marginalized by them and the Leaford family.

“Daddy….”

Gillian called him again.

Daniel lowered his eyes, gave her a faint glance, and pointed at his own head.

That meant he was a patient now and couldn’t respond.

Gillian suddenly understood and smiled.

But just now she saw Daniel’s frustration.

Daniel’s biggest problem was that he didn’t really have dementia, which made things easier for her.

As long as she pleased Daniel, she wouldn’t have to worry about the rest of her life.

Yet she didn’t know that the real drama was yet to come.

Molly finished her makeup, took the badge of her team, and pinned it on her clothes.

Someone saw the letters on her badge and exclaimed in surprise, “The ‘W’ organization! You’re actually a contestant from that organization!”

As that person spoke, the others looked at Molly.

As competitors, they had known their opponents for a while, but the mysterious contestant from the “W” organization was indeed something they dreaded.

Because the designer suddenly appeared, but nobody dared to say she didn’t have a chance because she was representing the “W” organization.

One “W” organization could be more powerful than several or even dozens of hundreds of enterprises, so the person sent by such an organization couldn’t be underestimated.

With her mask half-off but still wearing sunglasses, Molly didn’t impede these people’s curiosity.

“Hello, everyone.” Molly waved to them gently, “I am honored to be your opponent.”

Her soft voice was like a spring breeze, but it inexplicably made them shiver.

Opponent…

As a contestant sent by the “W” organization, they started with a disadvantage in terms of background!

Who can compete against someone with that kind of background?

“My friend, please stop teasing.” A male contestant forced a smile, “If I knew someone from the ‘W’ organization was competing this year, I wouldn’t have participated.”

They hadn’t mentioned anything about this organization’s people coming during the previous competition. Why did such a person suddenly join the finals now?

Could they even win against somebody from the “W” organization?

What if they win and the opponent takes revenge on them later?

The competition was a small matter; living was more important!

Could they forfeit now?

This person’s words made the others eager as well.

By giving up the competition, they could find a good excuse and perhaps avoid losing face.

But what if they give their all and end up offending someone from the “W” organization in the process…

“I think I’ll give up the competition. I haven’t bought the return ticket yet, so I’ll buy it now.”

“I’ll go back too. I’ve already given up.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Give up now and come back next time. I’m still a hero!”

Listening to these people discussing forfeiting, Molly was speechless.

She couldn’t believe these people were so afraid of the organization that they didn’t even have the courage to participate in the competition.

There were also some international friends present, and after determining the domestic winners, they would compete against these international friends.

Although Orientopia would only select one representative to compete against these people in the end, Molly didn’t want to win the top spots this way.

“My friends, I hope you won’t give up.” Molly’s tone paused, “It would look like you’re under my control, and as if I’m already predetermined.”

Other contestants: Is there a difference between this and being predetermined? Who dares to fight someone with your background?

“Actually, there’s no need for you all to give up.” Molly smiled kindly and sincerely with confidence in her voice, “Because even if you give it your all, you may not be able to win against me.”
