The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce

Chapter 12 – Chapter 12: Let me guess, she is pregnant?

Molly gave a bitter smile: “Maybe.”

If it weren’t for her grandmother’s dying wish, she wouldn’t have even thought about looking for her birth family. After all, being abandoned next to a trash bin meant that whoever left her there didn’t expect her to survive.

“If you need my help, just say so. We’ve also been looking for my sister for years, so we are more familiar with the process and connections than an ordinary family.”

Joshua Thompson’s eyes held a hint of laughter, his tone seemingly relaxed, but there was an underlying melancholy.

What a difference there is between different families that have lost a child.

Molly even wished that she was the one who got lost from the Thompson family, but the chance of that was practically zero.

Miss Thompson, the fourth young lady of the Thompson family, couldn’t possibly be found beside a trash bin.

“If I need help, I’ll definitely ask you for it.” Molly didn’t refuse Joshua’s offer.

After all, once she makes up her mind to find her family, she might need help in the future.

In Lana Lewis’s hospital room.

Isabelle Richardson, the accompanying caregiver, had a worried look on her face.

She had been taking care of Lana with all her heart, but soon realized that it wasn’t that simple.

Being a caregiver was exhausting.

Not only did she have to serve tea and water, but she also had to clean up all of Lana’s toiletries.

She had the urge to ask Michael Gallagher to hire a professional caregiver instead.

She picked up her cell phone, intending to send a message to Michael, but received a text instead: “Miss Richardson, the results of your investigation are ready.”

Isabelle’s irritation instantly vanished.

The results she had been waiting for so long had finally arrived.

She had seen Joshua Thompson with a briefcase several times at the hospital recently.

Driven by curiosity, she had hired a top detective to investigate.

Although it had cost her a six-figure deposit, the results were finally in.

“Let me guess, did Molly get pregnant?”

She couldn’t think of any other reason why Joshua would visit the hospital so frequently.

The only possibility was that Molly was pregnant.

“Pregnant?” The person on the other end of the phone sounded confused and quickly denied it, “No, she’s not pregnant.”

“Not pregnant?” Isabelle’s eyes widened, she had been almost certain, but it turned out she was wrong. “If it’s not a pregnancy, then what is it?”

With frequent visits to the hospital carrying a briefcase, she couldn’t think of any other reasons.

“It’s a DNA test results… Joshua Thompson requested it from this hospital. It’s the DNA test results.”

“What did you say?”

Isabelle’s mind went blank, her grip on her phone loosened, nearly dropping it.

“Miss Richardson, my investigation found out that Joshua Thompson took a DNA test.”

After the confirmation, Isabelle fell silent.

“Who did Joshua Thompson take the DNA test with?”

“We can’t find that out. Joshua purposely kept it a secret, and the hospital is very good at keeping confidential information. My informant only told me it was a DNA test result, we couldn’t find out anything else.”

A DNA test…

Has the missing Thompson family’s daughter been found? If so, it wouldn’t have anything to do with Molly!

The truth was, this investigation result had disappointed her.

If Molly was carrying Joshua’s baby, then Michael wouldn’t care so much about her. After all, no one would want to be an instant father.

“Keep investigating and inform me as soon as you have results. It would be best to find out who else was involved in the test.”

If the fourth young lady had really been found, she would need to make a phone call to Gillian Thompson.

This would certainly be big news!

Of course, she would sell this information to Gillian of the Thompson family.

She found Gillian’s number and immediately dialed it.

“Hey, Gillian, your third brother has found someone and is doing a DNA test now. Do you think it’s possible that your Fourth Miss was found?”

“How many times have I told you not to call me Gillian?” an impatient voice came from the other end, “They’ve done so many tests every year and been disappointed every time. There’s no need to report this kind of thing to me. I’m having dinner with my mentor, so don’t make this kind of call anymore.”

“Gi…Little Gillian, but this time, Joshua seems very confident. I think it might be for real this time…”

“So what if it is? Even if that person really comes back, my father and brothers still love me the most. Instead of gossiping about me, you should solve your own problems. I heard about your scandals abroad. Didn’t you say you could handle Michael Gallagher? How come my third brother ended up handling it in the end?”

Isabelle’s face flushed, turning red with anger.

“That’s all Joshua’s nonsense!”

“Anyway, I don’t care about any of this. In the future, there’s no need to report baseless gossip to me.”

Gillian hung up the phone, making no effort to be polite.

Isabelle was so angry she nearly smashed her phone on the ground.

“What’s so great about an adopted daughter?”

Gillian’s name carried the Thompson family’s expectations for the Fourth Miss, which was why she didn’t like her name. But Isabelle looked down on her and refused to change the way she addressed her.

What angered her the most was that even though Gillian was adopted, she was deeply loved by the Thompson family. Isabelle had to suppress her anger.

Moreover, the Richardson and Thompson families were about to enter into a major collaboration. Once this cooperation was successful, the Richardson family’s strength would increase, and by then, if she married Michael, no one could say anything.

Thinking about this, she suppressed her rising anger.

The next day, Molly stood outside the Gallagher family’s villa with her household registration and other documents, waiting for Michael Gallagher.

Today was the day of their divorce.

Inside the villa, Michael Gallagher hung up the phone and turned to see Molly walking over.

She was holding a document bag and walked briskly.

Thinking of her relationship with Joshua, Michael felt agitated and unconsciously opened his work phone.

His assistant had sent a message: “Mr. Gallagher, the people opposing you in the company are the same group that supported Elijah Gallagher.”

Elijah Gallagher was his cousin who had always had his eyes on the Gallagher family’s business.

Those people were always waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of his mistakes.

The “rumors” Joshua had spread had obviously had an effect.

Michael closed his phone.

He knew that Molly was waiting for him outside.

If they got their divorce certificate, Molly would be completely free and likely to fall into Joshua’s arms next.

Just thinking of her being intimate with someone like that made a surge of anger rise in his heart.

Last time, right here, she had brought him a bowl of glutinous rice balls, and they ended up in a relationship. He was annoyed at being manipulated, and even more annoyed that she had proposed a divorce.

He closed his phone, mischievously lying down on the bed, closing his eyes, intending to sleep it off like that.

However, after a while, an alarm sounded throughout the room.

Immediately after, thick smoke billowed into the room from outside.

Molly was standing outside the villa, unable to get through to Michael Gallagher on the phone.

Not until an alarm and cries for help came from inside the house.

There was a fire!

Molly shuddered and quickly looked at the people inside the villa.

She rushed into the house and grabbed an aunt who was running out: “Is Michael Gallagher upstairs?”

She remembered that Michael was terrified of fire and wouldn’t even enter the kitchen. If there was a fire in the house, he wouldn’t be able to get out.

The woman, desperate to escape, thought for a moment and quickly nodded, “Mr. Gallagher is upstairs, let’s get out of here, the fire is too big!”
