Chapter 392: Chapter 391: Investigation
Inside the Police Station, Michael Gallagher explained his purpose to the Chief. After their conversation, Scarlett Jackson was finally released on bail.
Upon seeing Michael, Scarlett’s eyes filled with tears.
Although she had done many bad things in the past, she was truly wronged this time.
She admitted provoking Ivy Thompson.
But she definitely didn’t push her.
Jeremy Norman, however, deliberately opposed her and it was clear that he had a personal grudge.
“Mr. Jenkins, it’s Jeremy who accused me of pushing Ivy Thompson. She’s a pregnant woman; I had no time to even move away, let alone push her. Why would I do such a thing?” Scarlett poured out her grievances like spilled beans.
Others misunderstanding her was one thing, but she couldn’t afford to let Mr. Jenkins misunderstand her too.
Michael’s footsteps paused and Scarlett’s heart skipped a beat.
Michael turned his head back and glanced at her indifferently: “You really didn’t do anything?”
Scarlett’s conscience wavered as she avoided looking him in the eye: “Of course not, I’m not stupid. Why would I go after a pregnant woman?”
Even if she had done something, she could not admit it.
It was uncertain whether Ivy’s baby could be saved. If she took the blame for this, she wouldn’t be able to wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Great River.
“What position does that Christopher Evans hold in the ‘W’ organization?” Michael asked.
Scarlett rejoiced in her heart and answered hurriedly, “He is the second-in-command, ranked only below the Big Boss.”
“Moreover, he was also one of Uncle Jenkins’ apprentices. He knows about Uncle Jenkins’ last words too. He said that if you want that position, he will help you.”
It was Violet Summers who introduced her to Christopher Evans.
As it turned out, Christopher Evans happened to be Violet’s former boss.
She thought that after Uncle Jenkins’ death, his last words wouldn’t matter much, but she didn’t expect that other senior executives in the organization would also recognize them.
As long as Christopher Evans helps, the organization will eventually belong to Michael.
“Mr. Jenkins, have you finally decided to take over the organization?”
She remembered that Michael was not interested in the organization before.
Her biggest concern was not being unable to take over the organization, but rather that Michael wasn’t interested in it.
She believed in Michael’s abilities; if he wanted to, he could easily take back the organization.
If he didn’t want it, then it would only fall to Jerry Jenkins, and all her efforts would be in vain.
“As long as you want to take over the organization, we will do our best to help you get it.”
Michael didn’t nod, nor did he refuse.
He slightly hooked his thin lips, and his sharp black eyes seemed like a deep pool.
Thinking that Jeremy wanted to issue a task in the organization so that Molly would marry him, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.
He was not interested in the organization, but if Molly could easily be “controlled” by the organization, he would control the organization himself.
Instead of being protected by others, he would take control himself.
Scarlett didn’t know what he was thinking; she only knew that she was one step closer to the organization.
She was in a good mood thinking that she would meet with Christopher Evans tomorrow.
Once Michael took over the organization, their engagement would be advanced.
How did it matter if Ivy Thompson was a part of the “W” organization? Once Michael had full control of the “W” organization, she would be the organization’s mistress.
As for the Leaford family and Ivy Thompson, all of them would be trampled under her foot.
Olivia Sawyer was now enjoying her time in the sun.
Ever since people in the circle found out that the Big Boss wanted to promote Olivia, they started to marginalize her, and she had no outlet for this anger.
After taking over the organization, the first thing she wanted to do was to destroy Olivia’s reputation.
At that time, Olivia had just finished participating in the audition for a major TV series.
This TV series was adapted from a popular novel that had swept the nation. Before it was even filmed, it had already accumulated many fans who were eagerly waiting for its release, including original novel fans, casual fans, and her fans.
The author of the novel even specifically requested her to play the role.
And just like that, she easily secured the role.
The film producer courteously escorted her to the car, holding Olivia’s hand and saying, “Don’t worry, we will do our best with this series, especially your role. We will ensure that the promotion is in place and will definitely make you more famous.”
The producer had a wide network in the industry. He knew that Olivia was now supported by the Big Boss and her ascendancy to the top was just a matter of time.
Now she owes someone a favor so that she can have more cooperation in the future.
Molly Walker, of course, understood her meaning, and after a few modest remarks, she got into the car.
Sitting in the car, she thought back to the days she’d had recently and felt like she was still in a dream.
She had thought she would be sidelined, but in the blink of an eye, she became someone no one in the circle dared to offend.
She knew that all this was thanks to Ivy Thompson.
She originally thought Ivy had just said it casually, but Ivy had really helped her and even helped her excel even more.
She took out her cell phone, flipped to Ivy Thompson’s number, paused for a few seconds, and with a click, the call was made.
The phone was answered by Jeremy Norman.
“Hello.”
Hearing Jeremy Norman’s voice, Molly Walker was stunned for a few seconds.
Why were Ivy Thompson and Jeremy Norman together?
Afraid that Molly would misunderstand, Jeremy explained, “Molly is in the hospital, and the Thompson family saw the incoming call and gave me the phone. Do you need her for something?”
Hearing that Ivy was in the hospital, Molly’s heart tightened, asking, “How is she?”
She remembered that Ivy was pregnant, and now that she was in the hospital, could it be…
Jeremy simply said, “The baby isn’t doing very well.”
With a thud, Molly’s eyelids twitched.
Although she used to dislike Ivy, now that Ivy had helped her so much, she felt only gratitude towards her.
Hearing that the baby was not doing well, Molly had already guessed the outcome.
The baby was probably gone.
“Which hospital?”
“Capital City First Hospital.”
Molly took a deep breath, “Alright, I want to see her.”
Ivy was her benefactor, and she had long wanted to thank her in person. Now that Ivy was in the hospital, both emotionally and rationally, she had to visit her.
“Go to Capital City First Hospital.”
Molly instructed her driver.
The assistant sitting nearby heard the conversation and hesitated to remind her, “Molly, we have a banquet later. It’s a film by famous director Richard Bradford…”
“I’m not going. Cancel it.”
Hearing her words, the assistant’s mouth opened slightly, wanting to persuade her but finally swallowing the words.
Just who was Ivy Thompson, to make Miss Walker not even want to meet such a famous director?
Capital City First People’s Hospital.
Upon hearing the news that the baby in Molly’s belly had disappeared, Joshua Thompson’s eyes turned red, and his clear pupils were filled with layers of fluorescent light.
Gone.
His nephew just disappeared like that.
He had imagined many times the scene of meeting his nephew: if it were a girl, he would spoil her like a princess; if it were a boy, he would teach him how to chase girls. But he never thought that his nephew would run away.
“How did the baby disappear?”
Joshua forcibly suppressed his anger, trembling as he asked.
Damian Thompson closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and wet the corners of his eyes.
Like Joshua, he couldn’t accept the fact that his nephew had left either.
Amanda Leaford looked at Jeremy Norman next to her and calmly asked, “Jeremy, you said you watched the whole process. Can you tell us how my grandson disappeared?”
If it was really Michael Gallagher’s fault, she would never allow Ivy to be with him.
She couldn’t do anything about the past, but now that something had happened to Ivy right under their noses, if it was because of Michael Gallagher, she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself either.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Jeremy’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, his eyes complex.
If he said it was Michael’s doing, would the Thompson family stop trying to bring Molly and Michael together?
