âWhat are you talking about?â Jake Smithâs smile remained unaltered, his tone as gentle as ever, âCome in, letâs talk properly. Donât cry, it hurts me to see you cry.â
He reached out and gently wiped her tears away, his gesture as tender as if he were touching a treasure in this world.
Tears flowed down from the corner of Amelia Collinsâ eyes.
What she was most unwilling to give up on was Jakeâs gentleness and consideration, which always made her feel loved.
Ameliaâs gentleness weakened her courage to confront his infidelity.
It was not that she didnât want to, but that she was afraid, afraid that exposing this secret could put an end to her relationship with Jake Smith.
Jake was completely unaware of the live broadcast, he assumed Amelia had heard some news from somewhere.
Jakeâs thoughts immediately turned to a person.
âDid Molly Walker say something to you?â
This woman gave him an unpredictable feeling, and upon reflection, he was even somewhat scared. Molly was too smart and calm. In a few words, she could guess the relationship between him and Amelia. What he feared even more was her guessing the relationship between him and Isabelle Richardson.
Amelia shook her head, she wanted to talk about the live broadcast, but before she could even start, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time suddenly rushed out.
In the blink of an eye, the reporters pointed their cell phones at Jake Smith and took many photos.
Even the thick-skinned Jake was stunned at this point.
He looked at Amelia with a fierce, angry look on his face, âYou cheap woman, you called the reporters!â
He instinctively blamed everything on Amelia.
Amelia was stunned too, when did these people start lurking around them?
Just as she was about to explain, Jakeâs hand harshly slapped her face.
With a âslap,â Amelia was dizzy and her heart turned cold.
Jake quickly closed the door, but these reporters were merciless. In order to get the first-hand resources, they pushed forward like mad, quickly forcing the door open.
The excitement was clear on the reporters! faces.
Jake Smith, he was an internet celebrity in the medical field!
And who was Isabelle Richardson? The mother of Michael Gallagherâs child!
Once the news of these two people broke out, it would cause an earthquake-like scandal, a hot spot that could absolutely ignite the entire country. Whoever gets the first-hand data would hold the key to the traffic.
Amelia, who was slapped by Jake, felt like dying and numbly watched Jakeâs face shifted from feigned calmness to panic.
Suddenly, a woman wrapped in a coat covering her head rushed out of the room and let out a shrill scream.
Even if Amelia wanted to deceive herself, when the reporters chased the woman around, Amelia finally saw her face.
It was Isabelle Richardson!
She was really having an affair with Jake Smith!
Amelia suddenly thought of a possibility.
Perhaps when Jake confessed to her, she had already fallen into Isabelleâs trap, just to make her keep the secret.
Jake had deceived her feelings and treated her like a from.
Amelia, who had figured everything out, felt her heart bleed as if it had been cut with a knife.
She retreated with a laugh and was crying, her hands and feet were cold.
She thrust her hands into her pockets and suddenly touched a card.
It was Molly Walkerâs business card.
âMaybe one day you will need me.â
That personâs words echoed in her ears.
The card she held in her hand suddenly became burning hot.
Amelia gritted her teeth, a fierce light flashed in her eyes.
Molly Walker was already lying on the hospital bed, with Damian Thompson sitting next to her, explaining the ins and outs of Daniel Thompsonâs âchange of heartâ.
âDad has handed this matter to me. His intention is to let Gabriel take control. He says your reputation is affecting the company.â
Molly, holding a cup of hot tea, took a small sip and nodded in understanding: âl understand him.â
Indeed, her reputation was not good, and this project was a government collaboration, not a Thompson family project, so she had to consider the feelings of her partners.
âThe urgent task at hand is to salvage your reputation, otherwise it will affect your marriage.â Damian Thomson furrowed his brows, trying to think of a way for her to recoup her losses.
Molly looked at the worried Damian Thompson and felt slightly guilty.
Even if Daniel Thompson did not treat her as his biological daughter, she did not actively integrate into the Thompson family. She wasnât really concerned about those projects.
Compared with the âW Organizationâ, she can say that she had invested no heart into those projects.
If she hadnât promised Elizabeth Aitken, she wouldnât have even looked at the contract Phoebe Belmont handed to her.
âBrother, I actually donât mind these things, you donât need to worry about me anymore.â Thinking about what No. 6 and Jeremy Norman did, Molly sighed slightly.
To salvage her so-called reputation, she just needed to pick a man to be the babyâs father and then smear Michael Gallagher.
But she didnât want to do that, as reputation alone canât feed her. She had just cleared her relations with the Thompson family. Now being without a family, she was unafraid of anything.
Damian Thompson gave a bitter smile: âJoshua argued with Dad, saying he wants to change his surname to Walker, to become Joshua Walker.â
Molly was taken aback.
This incident originated from her, and she never imagined that Joshua would act even more decisively than her.
Joshua Thompson changing to Joshua M/alker, that was too drastic.
âl think that name is not bad.â Damian Thompson smiled, his tone refined and gentle, âThere isnât much good in Thompson, apart from the halo of being the richest family. Most of the time, people in the family find themselves constrained. It is the surname âThompsonâ that restricts him.â
Hearing these words, Mollyâs face turned red. She could act outrageously arrogant because she had backing but what was the matter with Joshua using her surname? Even if she was willing, it would only make him the laughingstock if this went out.
âBrother, donât joke around. I will try to persuade him seriously.â
She hoped that the Third Brother was just acting on a whim, and he wasnât really going to use her surname! She was just enjoying being cut-off from the family, she couldnât just add someone to her household registration out of nowhere!
Seeing that she didnât treat it as a joke, Damian Thompson didnât continue this topic either.
He suddenly remembered Daniel Thompson mentioning the âW Organizationâ, feeling that he should discuss it with her.
âSister, it seems that Gabriel knowsâ¦
âDing Ding Ding,â Mollyâs cell phone rang.
Molly apologized to Damian with a smile and without caring about those around, she pressed the play button.
âMiss Walker, hello, I am your grandmotherâs caregiverâ¦â
As soon as she heard this voice, Mollyâs heart lept.
As expected, as soon as the relationship between Isabelle Richardson and Jake Smith exploded, the breakthrough in her grandmotherâs tragedy came.
âl want to know when you will press charges against Isabelle Richardson, I can be your witness, but my safety now is not guaranteedâ¦â Amelia Collinâs voice was trembling by the end.
She also knew that the moment she chose to betray Isabelle Richardson and Jake Smith, she could lose her life at any moment.
Mollyâs voice was gentle yet firm: âDonât worry, 1 will have my friends take you to a safe place where absolutely no one will dare to harm you.â
The accident of the driver last time made her realize that keeping an eye on the witness was not enough. The safest method was still to bring the person to the âW Organizationâ base where there are professional guards.
Even if Isabelle Richardson wanted to act, she wouldnât dare confront the âW Organizationâ openly.
Hearing Molly saying she would take her to a safe place, Amelia Collins still didnât relax.
âMiss Walker, I donât want to go to the safe place you mentioned. Itâs not that I donât trust you, but that Isabelle Richardson and her group are too ruthless. If you really want to protect me, I have a suggestionâ¦â Amelia Collinsâ voice paused, want to live in the Thompson family.â
The Thompson family was the richest family in Sunnydale. By living there, as long as she did not go out, Isabelle Richardson would not be able to harm her.
Isabelle Richardson could act in an underhanded way, but she wouldnât dare
go against the Thompson family openly.
Hearing this, Molly frowned.
It wasnât that the Thompson family wouldnât work, but she had just had a falling-out with Daniel Thompson..n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
