Chapter 3 – Chapter 3 What is the relationship between Mr. Thompson and my wife?
“Mr. Thompson, aren’t you leaving?”
Someone gently tapped him.
Joshua Thompson was unmoved, his hand trembling where others couldn’t see.
Molly Walker noticed someone had been staring at her.
Under the man’s rebellious long eyebrows, his eyes were narrow and passionate, his face extremely perfect, yet the corners of his lips carried a mischievous smile, arrogant and flamboyant.
The curiosity and excitement in his eyes made her feel uneasy.
There were very few people left in the room, and he sat still with no intention of leaving.
Molly didn’t wait any longer and handed the agreement to Michael Gallagher.
“I don’t want anything, just sign the original agreement.”
For the three years of their marriage, he might have disliked her, but he had never cheated on her.
These days, seeing him and Isabelle Richardson openly appearing together in various occasions, she decided to put the divorce on the agenda.
Michael Gallagher glanced at the agreement, sneered, “Is that man so important?”
Important enough to force him to let her go in front of so many people?
Molly Walker bit her lip slightly, knowing he had misunderstood.
But how did it matter if he misunderstood? They would come to an end eventually.
Seeing her silent, Michael Gallagher felt increasingly frustrated.
He wanted to ask who the man was, but he thought it was inappropriate at this moment.
The atmosphere was getting more depressing and suffocating.
He annoyed, he loosened his tie and hoarsely uttered a word:
“Pen.”
Seeing her standing still, he slowly raised his head: “Aren’t you going to let me sign?”
Molly Walker uttered an “Oh,” hastily took out a pen from her bag, and hesitated for a moment when handing it to him.
Michael Gallagher didn’t raise his head, took the pen and signed flamboyantly, and handed it back to her.
With a heavy agreement in her hand, Molly Walker forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart.
Even though the goal had been reached, her heart was still empty.
“Now that the agreement is signed, shall we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate next?” Isabelle Richardson suddenly reminded.
Molly Walker looked at Isabelle Richardson and saw her big innocent eyes. She thought of the missing caregiver.
On the day she questioned Isabelle Richardson, the caregiver resigned and disappeared, and her grandmother’s death became a mystery.
Seeing Molly staring at her fiercely, Isabelle Richardson anxiously stepped back a few steps.
Michael Gallagher saw Molly’s hateful appearance and knew she remembered her grandmother again.
“Molly, how many more times do I have to say that Isabelle didn’t harm your grandmother?”
She didn’t harm her grandmother.
He was determined to defend Isabelle.
She looked at him desolately, her voice hoarse, “Michael Gallagher, you know my grandmother is my only relative…”
She had been abandoned since childhood and would have frozen to death on the streets if not for her grandmother.
Her grandmother provided all her love and was the sole motivation for her to live.
Not only did she fail to fulfill her filial duties, she also let her grandmother die without knowing why…
She looked up, trying to keep her eyes wide so that the tears wouldn’t fall.
“I know,” Michael Gallagher pressed his lips, “I arranged for her to go to the hospital, she and your grandmother had no grievances and there was no reason to harm her.”
Molly Walker laughed lightly, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.
“I don’t know if she had a reason, but the caregiver said she argued with my grandmother that day.”
If she really cared for her grandmother, why would she argue?
Her grandmother had a good temper, and in all those years living with the neighbors, there had never been any conflicts. If she could even argue with Isabelle Richardson while sick, Isabelle Richardson must have said something.
Thinking that her grandmother was infuriated to death, her hatred for Isabelle Richardson was endless.
Isabelle Richardson was the only one who saw her grandmother that day; there must be a reason for her brain hemorrhage.
“Since you believe in her so much, let’s meet in court. I will find evidence.”
She glanced at Isabelle Richardson.
Not wanting to stay here any longer, she quickly turned and left. Perhaps she was too tired these days. When she reached the door, her vision blurred, and a hand supported her just as she was about to fall.
Molly Walker steadied herself and gratefully looked up. It was the man who had been staring at her just now.
“Thank you.”
Upon a closer look at her, Joshua Thompson became even more certain of his suspicion.
From the moment he saw her, he was amazed beyond words.
The person in front of him was so similar to his aunt.
They said that her lost sister looked just like their aunt.
This person could be his sister.
As his arm was gripped tighter and tighter, Molly Walker frowned and quietly broke free before turning away.
“Hey, wait!”
Joshua Thompson wanted to chase after her, but Isabelle Richardson stopped him.
“Mr. Thompson, are you interested in her?” Isabelle Richardson batted her big eyes and teased, “Her family is poor, I am afraid she can’t even enter your Thompson’s door.”
Everyone knew that Daniel Thompson’s requirement for his future daughters-in-law was clear: education and family background. Nothing less would do.
No one thought their demands were too high, because the Thompson family had the capital to be picky.
“Poor family?” Joshua Thompson raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.
If this person was really his sister, she must have had a hard time these years.
Michael Gallagher kept their marriage a secret even from him, which showed that the Gallagher family didn’t care about this Mrs. Gallagher from the start.
“Yes, she was picked up by her grandmother, she doesn’t even know who her parents are.”
This sentence made Joshua Thompson look strange.
Isabelle Richardson continued to add fuel to the fire, “Your family would never allow such a woman to enter, right?”
Between the lines, there was mockery of Molly Walker’s identity.
Seeing Michael Gallagher approaching them and thinking of Molly’s angry departure, Joshua Thompson couldn’t help but feel indignant for Molly.
If his own sister were lost and adopted by others, would she be ridiculed like this too?
He leaned casually against the door, glanced at Isabelle Richardson and said, “If she can enter the Gallagher’s door, why wouldn’t she be able to enter the Thompson’s door?”
Isabelle Richardson looked embarrassed and glanced at Michael Gallagher.
Michael Gallagher came over.
“You have been watching the play for so long, what’s the hurry? Why not sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving?”
Joshua Thompson somewhat regretted the encounter with Michael Gallagher; he just wanted to check Molly’s information right away.
Hearing how similar she was to his aunt, and that she happened to be adopted, he thought that maybe this was not a coincidence.
“Michael Gallagher, I have urgent business. We can talk next time.”
Without even looking at Michael Gallagher’s expression, he tried to leave quickly, but Michael Gallagher stopped him in his tracks.
Michael Gallagher looked deep.
From the moment Molly entered, Joshua Thompson’s eyes had never left her.
Although Joshua Thompson was aggressive, he knew when to back off, there was no reason not to stay for the show.
Molly wanted the divorce because she had found the love of her life.
Could it be Joshua Thompson?
Michael Gallagher’s face gradually turned cold.
“What is Mr. Thompson’s relationship with my wife?”
