Chapter 125 - 125: Changes in Demolition

If she could, she wouldn’t want to choose any of them.

When she married Michael Gallagher, it was her one-sided love. The ending was miserable, and she didn’t want others to feel that pain.

She had known No. 6 for many years and had always treated him like a younger brother, never having any other thoughts.

As for Jeremy Norman…

Getting close to him was only for the mission; at most, they were friends.

Seeing her in distress, Damian Thompson gently smiled, “My sister’s charm is too great.”

Although he didn’t understand much about Harry Lambert, since he was a celebrity, he was willing to publicly claim to be the father of the baby, which showed that he was responsible.

Both Jeremy Norman and Harry Lambert had good conditions, which showed that they were not attracted by the Thompson family’s background.

“You don’t have to make a decision so soon.” Damian Thompson comforted her gently when he saw her frown.

Marriage is a major event, and indeed requires careful consideration.

In the hospital, all the reporters were stopped by the bodyguards at the door of Michael Gallagher’s room.

After looking at the two posts on eBay, Michael laughed coldly and put his phone aside.

“Ivy Thompson has quite the charm…” Jake Leaford grinned, “But now everyone in the country knows that you’ve been cuckolded.”

Those two men claimed that the baby was theirs, which also confirmed Molly Walker’s affair.

This wave of operations made his heart race.

“I heard that the Thompson Group’s stock price is falling, Ivy is part of the

Thompson family, her reputation now has a huge impact on the stock market. Daniel Thompson must be very frustrated, having recognized such a big troublemaker.”

Jake Leaford’s schadenfreude made Michael’s eyes sting a bit.

Thinking about this farce, he didn’t find it funny at all. Instead, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Michael Gallagher reminded him in a hushed voice, “The Gallagher family has a partnership with the Thompson family, so the decline in Thompson’s stock price is not good for the Gallagher family either.” Jake Leaford’s words stopped abruptly.

Gallagher and his Leaford family had deep cooperation, so if there was an impact on the Gallagher family, they would be affected as well.

“What should we do?” Jake Leaford started scratching his head, “Actually, I do have a plan.”

Michael looked at him with raised eyebrows.

“Now you can publicly say that the baby in Ivy Thompson’s belly is yours; this way, the rumors would be debunked, and Ivy might be moved and remarry you!” The more he thought about it, the better Jake Leaford felt about this idea, “Anyway, there are already two men voluntarily claiming the baby, one more wouldn’t make a difference, and one less won’t either. Only by doing this can you reverse the situation and prevent the continuous decline of the Thompson Group’s stock.”

Michael crossed his hands, slightly raised his chin, and looked cold as a knife, “Indeed, it’s a good idea.”

Jake Leaford was happy and quickly said, “I knew this plan was good. So, are you going to…”

“Bang!” A glass cup brushed past his ear…

Jake Leaford’s words got stuck in his throat.

“It’s good that the Thompson family’s stock price is falling; it’s perfect for buying in.” Michael’s voice was cold, directly rejecting his proposal.

Jake swallowed his saliva and didn’t say another word.

What worried him now was whether he could make money back from the hundreds of thousands of dollars he spent on the old and dilapidated house a few days ago.

If there was no demolition in the end…

Jake Leaford’s face suddenly became ugly.

In the old and shabby alley on the Southern Side.

Elizabeth Aitken had just returned from work when Mr. Aitken threw the phone at her, “This is the good friend you’ve been bragging about! She’s now like a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to hit. Everyone says she’s a social butterfly. If I had a daughter like that, I’d hate not to strangle her to death!”

Elizabeth retorted coldly, “Unfortunately, you don’t have that kind of blessing.”

“Blessing?” Mr. Aitken laughed, “The shareholders of the Thompson Group are all asking for a change in the project manager. The pie she painted for you is about to fall through, so it’s better not to have such a ‘blessing’.” Elizabeth Aitken furrowed her brows with anxiety.

She had heard about Molly Walker’s situation, and today her boss had specifically called her into his office to ask whether the cooperation promised by Molly before still counts.

If the Thompson family does not assign the project to Molly, indeed, everything will become uncertain.

She didn’t give her boss a definite answer.

If her promotion was solely for the sake of the Thompson family’s cooperation, then this promotion would not be worth it.

With a calm expression, Elizabeth said, “I believe in Molly. Even if she’s facing difficulties now, it’s only temporary. As her friend, I can’t kick her while she’s down.”

“Kicking her while she’s down?” Her father’s face turned livid with anger, “Where do you get the confidence to say it’s only temporary? Our whole family is almost homeless, and you still care about whether she falls into a pit or not?”

Her father was still upset about the house issue, filled with expectations at the beginning because Elizabeth’s promotion was all thanks to Molly. But now, it seemed like the relocation matter would also fall through.

With someone else in charge, it’s uncertain whether the Southern District would be demolished or not.

Elizabeth stopped arguing with her father and gathered her things to leave. Her father shouted angrily, “Where are you going in this late hour?”

“I want to go see her.”

The media had been saying all kinds of things, and the words were harsh. So were the comments, which were purely internet explosions.

Harry Lambert had too many fans who could not bear this blow. These fans could only vent all their anger on Molly, even digging up her past.

If it were her, she simply wouldn’t be able to bear it.

As her friend, she had to be there for Molly. Even if she couldn’t help with her problem, she at least had to comfort her.

Outside the CEO’s office in the Thompson Group building, company’s management members were lined up.

These people were young and old, making everyone else in the office too nervous to leave their seats.

These people were all shareholders from the CEO’s office!

Usually, the general shareholders’ meeting wouldn’t be this complete, but today, all of them were here in full force.

Daniel Thompson looked helpless.

“Let them in,” he sighed slightly.

“Mr. Thompson, this project is in cooperation with the government. You know how much they value reputation. I understand that you care for your daughter who’s been wandering outside, but you can’t use such a big company project as her training ground,” said a middle-aged man who was around the same age as Daniel Thompson. His words were heavy and filled with concern. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Daniel remained silent, puffing on his cigarette.

He thought back to the day when Amanda fell unconscious. On his way home, an old man with a compass stopped him, insisting on giving him advice. In the past, he wouldn’t give these scammers a glance, but this time, the old man said a single sentence that stopped him in his tracks.

The old man told him that someone in his family had already fallen unconscious, and if the situation was left unattended, their family members would be affected one by one.

Worried about Amanda, he stayed and engaged in an in-depth conversation.

This person was indeed different from scammers in the past. He was even able to deduce the details of Ivy Thompson’s disappearance. However, he refused to reveal the cause of her disappearance, citing that it would leak the secrets of heaven.

He only said that the newly acknowledged family member would bring a great disaster to the family, while the adopted daughter could bring them prosperity.

Daniel thought back, and it was true that their fortune improved after adopting Gabriel. Their family business had been thriving.

When he heard Ivy might bring harm to their family, Daniel angrily drove the old man away. However, the knot in his heart remained.

Why was it such a coincidence?

And why was it so accurate?

Looking at the shareholders with weathered faces, Daniel Thompson had to admit that he was wavering..
