Chapter 425 - 422: Never Touched Her
Chapter 425: Chapter 422: Never Touched Her
If Samuel Richardson knew she was lying to him, he would probably kill her with his temper.
To win Samuel’s trust, she had to keep this a secret.
“Mr. Richardson… don’t listen to her, there are so many people here. If this gets out, how can we cooperate in the future?”
She couldn’t think of any other way so she could only threaten Samuel with this matter to keep him from spilling it out in anger.
But Samuel seemed deaf to what she was saying; he was being consumed by anger at this moment.
He couldn’t do anything to the Thompson family or to Molly Walker, so why not disgust them?
Samuel looked deeply into Phoebe Belmont’s eyes and whispered, “Don’t worry, this will not affect our relationship even if it comes out.”
Phoebe’s face changed.
Though it had no significant implications for Samuel, it would greatly harm her.
If word got out, she would bear the guilt of being Daniel Thompson’s No.3
And she couldn’t deny it.
Looking at Samuel’s stubborn and reckless face, Phoebe felt disgusted.
He wanted to vent his anger but had no regard for her life or death.
“Mr. Richardson, you cannot say it…”
“Since you want to know, I won’t hide it anymore.” Samuel ignored Phoebe’s objection and suddenly raised his voice, “Congratulations on your father, Daniel Thompson, having a baby in his old age.”
“A baby in his old age?” Molly chuckled, “Next, you’re going to say it’s Phoebe’s baby?”
There happened to be an internet celebrity filming a video in the restaurant, and seeing such a thrilling scene, they immediately started a live broadcast.
At this moment, Daniel Thompson was talking about Joshua Thompson’s marriage with Amanda Leaford at the Leaford family’s villa.
Daniel was secretly delighted that Amanda was finally willing to speak seriously with him when James Leaford came downstairs with a dark face and threw the cell phone directly onto his face.
“My dear brother-in-law, congratulations on having a baby in your old age.”
Daniel’s mouth twitched, feeling an ominous sense of foreboding.
Upon picking up the phone and looking, Daniel’s vision went black for a moment, almost fainting from anger.
On the cell phone, Samuel Richardson was congratulating him on having a baby in his old age.
“That is not my seed in her belly.” Daniel gritted his teeth, “I never touched her.”
However, he knew that once it was livestreamed, most people would choose to believe.
Daniel Thompson had unspeakable bitterness.
If he had known that Phoebe would set him up like this, he wouldn’t have said another word to her.
If this matter was confirmed, his reputation would be ruined.
He stared intently at Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher on the screen, hoping that they would say a few words for him.
But the thought was fleeting.
This daughter has always disliked him and would rather see him lose face all the way to the Pacific Ocean, so how could she possibly speak up for him?
Daniel Thompson slumped down.
Seeing him like this, Amanda didn’t offer a single comforting word.
After all, things had turned out this way because he had brought it upon himself, and he had to bear the worst consequences.
Daniel closed his eyes and prayed in his heart.
Just as he was about to give in to despair, he heard Molly sneer in the video.
“It’s impossible for Phoebe to be pregnant with Daniel Thompson’s baby.”
Upon hearing these words, Daniel almost burst into tears.
He never expected Ivy to speak for him.
Gratefulness and guilt filled his heart, wrapping around his cold heart.
It’s no wonder she is Daniel Thompson’s daughter. In times of crisis, she is still on his side.
Daniel Thompson’s lips couldn’t help but curl upwards as his mood improved.
Since his children had become distant from him, he no longer had any hope for their filial piety, but now that his daughter was protecting him, Daniel felt genuinely happy.
“How could that not be possible?” Samuel Richardson laughed heartily, “Everyone in the country knows Phoebe Belmont and Daniel Thompson are having an affair. Phoebe got pregnant, whose could it be if not your father’s?”
“Why would he insult me like that when I haven’t done anything to him?” Daniel’s face contorted with anger.
“If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself.” Amanda Leaford said calmly.
Daniel’s face turned from green to white.
The Tea House was surrounded by people outside.
Molly Walker’s denial didn’t matter in Samuel’s speculation, but his purpose today was to make her feel uncomfortable and let the Thompson family feel humiliated.
His Isabelle was half-dead in prison, why should Daniel have a fulfilling family life?!
He hadn’t had a son in his lifetime, but Daniel had one in his old age, how could he not be jealous?!
Molly glanced at Phoebe, who was trembling all over, and smiled, “There’s something you may not know.”
“Daniel Thompson has been unable to procreate for a long time. Miss Belmont, did the baby in your belly jump out of a rock?”
Unable to procreate?
Samuel didn’t react, and Phoebe froze, her body getting colder.
She never thought Daniel would have lost his fertility.
Samuel coldly glanced at Phoebe, full of suspicion.
When Phoebe said the baby was Daniel’s, he didn’t have any doubts, but now that he thought about it, it was indeed unreasonable.
Given Daniel’s character, he wouldn’t let Phoebe have a baby.
“Lost fertility…” Samuel’s face changed several times.
No one would joke about this.
The people present didn’t react when they heard this.
But then again, it made sense for Daniel, who was sixty years old, to have lost fertility.
If Daniel had lost fertility, then who was the baby in Phoebe’s belly?
“Lost fertility? Maybe No. 3 wanted Daniel to play the role of happy father?”
“As expected, No. 3 is shameless and has no integrity.”
The crowd discussed, and Phoebe’s face flushed with shame.
“I know you’re still upset about me sending Isabelle to prison, but there’s no need for you and Phoebe to collaborate on such a clumsy lie.” Molly playfully glanced at Samuel, whose face looked terrible, “Don’t forget, the things you did back then are enough for you to squat in prison for several years.”
If it weren’t for Emma Smith’s sake, she would have sent him away already.
She planned to pay off the debt with Samuel’s seven hundred fifty thousand dollars, but he wasn’t content.
Upon hearing “several years in prison”, Samuel’s face turned pale.
He was so focused on getting revenge that he forgot about the leverage Molly had on him.
He glared at Phoebe angrily.
If it weren’t for this woman deceiving him, he wouldn’t have lost face.
Michael Gallagher stood by Molly’s side, watching her skillfully deal with Samuel’s difficulties, his face slightly easing.
If it weren’t for Samuel’s appearance, he would have almost forgotten about him.
It seemed that it was time to give Samuel a lesson.
Michael’s thin lips formed a straight line, tightened his fingers, and his eyes became obscure.
“Does Daniel really have no fertility?” Samuel asked Phoebe in a low voice.
Phoebe clenched her teeth, her face full of embarrassment.
Whether Daniel had fertility or not, how would she know?
She and Daniel hadn’t even had an intimate relationship, how could she know so much.
Phoebe wished she could crawl into a hole under Samuel’s angry gaze.
After saying that, Molly and Michael went to the private suite reserved by Christopher Evans and the others.
They didn’t know what happened outside, and they certainly didn’t know Michael would bring Molly.
