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

Chapter 423: Chapter 420: Meeting Christopher Evans

Molly Walker’s heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, then it pounded like a drum.

She was no longer a little girl, yet, faced with such a warm change, it was hard to stay in control as if she would lose control if she was not careful.

Thinking of Scarlett Jackson, Molly’s racing heart gradually calmed down.

She already knew from last time that Scarlett held her master’s last words and that Scarlett’s heart was set on the ‘W’ organization too.

If Michael Gallagher was interested in the organization, he would have to partner with Scarlett.

Recalling Jeremy Norman’s words, Molly’s eyes began to sting.

“Michael Gallagher… Are you interested in the ‘W’ organization?”

She did not directly mention the matter of the last words.

But once Michael heard these words, he understood everything.

“Did Jeremy Norman tell you?” Michael curled his lips into a cool smile.

Molly lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Michael’s gentle gaze fell on her as he softly said, “These are my father’s last words.”

“Is the leader of the organization your friend?”

In fact, he had always had an answer in his heart but had never asked her directly.

If it was as he speculated, then Molly would surely be caught in a vortex of contradictions.

He didn’t want to put her in a difficult position.

Molly glanced at him, intending to say the organization was hers but dared not to.

She was afraid, afraid he would see the selfishness in her heart.

Before the master passed away, he had privately told her to take care of his descendants, not that she should hand over the organization to them.

But whether the master had changed his mind later, she didn’t know.

If the master’s descendants wanted the organization, she couldn’t bring herself to completely sever ties with them.

But she couldn’t bring herself to completely hand over the organization either.

She was afraid that Michael would find out she was the leader of the organization, and was even more afraid that the two of them would become enemies.

Human nature is unpredictable, and she didn’t want to test it.

“Indeed, the leader of the organization is my friend.” She simply carried on his train of thought.

“How does your friend treat you?”

Molly was taken aback: “Alright.”

“Alright?” Michael laughed coolly, “Then why did he let you win over Jeremy Norman?”

Molly gave an awkward laugh: “Where did I win him over…”

“Jeremy Norman told me himself that you accepted the task the organization had initially published requiring you to get close to him.”

If the leader truly cares for her, they wouldn’t have let her accept such a project.

This could only mean that the leader’s kindness towards her was based on interest.

Molly didn’t know how to reply.

It was her own organization; of course, she could take on any project if she wanted to.

But she couldn’t straightforwardly tell him that.

“You should rest first, I will handle these matters.” Michael’s eyes were burning, like flames about to ignite.

If he were to take over the organization, frictions with her friend were bound to happen.

“Michael Gallagher…” Molly looked steadily at him, “Can you, surrender the organization?”

“I can’t.” Michael’s eyes were indifferent, “I am not used to giving control to others.”

Molly’s heart trembled violently.

She had friends in the organization that she cared about and efforts she had to put in.

She didn’t want to fight with Michael.

Seeing that Michael was determined not to give up, Molly took a deep breath.

It appeared the only option was to split the organization.

Thinking of the message Christopher Evans sent to No. 6, Molly felt bitter.

Christopher Evans said the organization belonged to the master, and now that the master’s descendants had appeared, it was time for the organization to change hands.

Christopher Evans had always been unhappy with her taking over the organization. Now that the master’s descendants had appeared, he was happier than anyone else.

She could guess that the next person Michael was going to meet was Christopher Evans.

“I’ve taken care of Jerry Jenkins’ matter, tell your cousin not to worry, he can’t come out for now.”

Michael knew she cared about her family, so he explained this matter clearly.

“Cousin has said she’d settle this herself.” Molly’s tone softened, “Thank you.”

“No need for thanks. After all, it’s the Jenkins family’s actions, so I also have a responsibility and obligation.” Michael Gallagher’s brow furrowed when he thought of his na?ve grandfather, “Zachary Jenkins is getting old. Acts without thinking. His act of kidnapping your friend might not land him in prison.”

Molly nodded.

She had long known that dealing with Mr. Jenkins wouldn’t be easy. He was advanced in years and not in the best of health, making legal punishment almost impossible.

This incident had traumatized Grace Harrison and Alicia Taylor. In addition to expressing her remorse, she also intended to secure justice for them.

“Whatever you want to do to the Jenkins family, you don’t have to consider me.”

Michael’s words made Molly hesitate.

The Jenkins family was, after all, his family. She thought that, no matter what, he would somehow defend them.

“I don’t have any family members who break the law.”

Michael Gallagher’s voice was low and the depths of his eyes held a storm.

Molly clamped her lips together.

No one wanted family members who broke the law. Thankfully, Michael was clear on this point and did not blindly defend his relatives.

“What about Scarlett Jackson?” Molly asked, watching him carefully, “What are you going to do?”

Scarlett Jackson’s relationship with Michael had always been nuanced.

Scarlett had in her possession the Master’s keepsake and last words. If Michael wanted to smoothly take over the organization, he couldn’t offend Scarlett Jackson.

“What do you want?” Michael stared at her, eyes cool beneath his drooping lashes, “The miscarriage had something to do with her, though she didn’t admit it….”

“Without concrete evidence, there’s no way to punish her. But we can take action in other ways.”

Hearing these words, Molly felt disoriented for a moment.

Since that day, Michael seemed changed.

He became more tender towards her but much colder towards others.

But Molly didn’t like Scarlett Jackson either. The miscarriage had no direct link to her, but there was an indirect one.

She was not magnanimous.

The best punishment for Scarlet was Michael’s attitude.

If Michael was willing to back her up, she was equally willing to remain silent and allow him to.

“I’m going to meet someone later. Would you like to come?”

Just as Molly was about to refuse, Michael spoke again: “You might know this person.”

“Who?”

“Christopher Evans.”

Christopher Evans…

Molly knitted her brows.

He was indeed up to something.

Seeing the slight change in her expression, Michael understood.

She knew Christopher Evans.

…

In a private room of a tea house somewhere in Capital City.

Scarlett Jackson and Violet Summers sat together, next to a burly man.

The man wore sunglasses and a mask, concealing himself completely.

“Big Boss, this is Scarlett Jackson whom I mentioned previously. She’s the one who brought out that painting by Nathan Parker.” Violet Summers stood and introduced her independently.

Although she was not a member of the ‘W’ organization, she was brought up by Christopher Evans and was intensely loyal to him. When she got in touch with the Jenkins family and started referring to Evans as Big Boss, he did not object.

“Mr. Evans, Mr. Jenkins is on his way and should arrive soon,” Scarlett told him, giving Michael top priority.

Ever since Axel Jenkins had identified her at the karaoke bar, Zachary Jenkins hadn’t responded to any of her messages.

She had no choice but to bring up Christopher Evans again.

This time, Zachary Jenkins finally responded.

Christopher Evans didn’t push when he saw Scarlett wasn’t willing to say more. He sat patiently on his chair, waiting.

Although he wasn’t revealing anything on the surface, he was subtly excited and eager deep down.

Ever since that person took over the organization, he had been suppressed. Now, his position within the organization was not even equal to that of No. 6.

He was the man that the Master had personally raised, yet now he was being trampled by a young upstart. It was a disgrace.

In the past, he restrained his words out of considerations for the powers within the organization. But now, finally, there was someone who could handle that person.

At the thought of the Master’s last words, Christopher Evans sneered.

That person had taken over the organization without having the right or reason to do so. Now, someone who deserved to was finally coming to set things right.
