Chapter 135 - 135: Did You Arrange for My Kidnapping?

“No need.” Phoebe Belmont looked quite angry, “There’s no need to tell him about such a small matter, we can handle it ourselves.’

She then stood up and said to the man, “Bring more security guards downstairs.’

Wearing high heels, she strode into the elevator with a heroic posture and full of momentum.

Aaron Howard and his group were still waiting downstairs. Perhaps because there were so many of them, the security guards did not dare to make a move until Phoebe Belmont brought more guards with her.

Seeing Phoebe Belmont come out with so many people in a pompous manner, Aaron Howard immediately panicked.

Starting a commotion was one thing, having the courage to confront them was another.

Phoebe Belmont glanced at Aaron Howard and then at the people behind him, making a judgment at that moment.

“Ivy Thompson has nothing to do with this project, as the demolition site was decided by our vote, and has nothing to do with her!” Phoebe Belmont’s tone was indifferent, her face expressionless.

Hearing this, Aaron Howard was stunned.

He had received the message that Ivy Thompson was in charge of the project, but now it wasn’t her responsibility?

“Even if it’s not her responsibility, it’s a fact that she encouraged her friend to take advantage of our Aaron Howard’s house swap, our Aaron Howard’s house is now in her friend’s hands, you can check if you don’t believe!” The one speaking was Aaron Howard’s sister, who was said to have just graduated and was the most educated woman in the family.

Phoebe Belmont’s face remained unchanged, as she sneered and looked at her, “Little sister, you’re still a student, right? Threatening and spreading rumors with so many people, do you know the legal consequences you’ll have to face?”

Aaron Howard’s sister’s face turned slightly pale.

She had just graduated and had no experience with legal matters. Upon hearing the words “legal consequences,” she was so frightened that her lips trembled.

Moreover, Phoebe Belmont’s aura was intense, giving a strong sense of oppression.

Seeing her backing down, Phoebe Belmont’s red lips curled up in a cold snort.

She had seen many people like this, they were all paper tigers. Faced with the powerful background of the Thompson family, even if they were truly wronged, they could only endure it!

Phoebe Belmont no longer bothered to argue with them and sternly shouted, “I’ve explained over and over again that Ivy Thompson is not in charge of this project. By blocking us here, you’re seriously delaying our normal work. Now, I’ll give you one minute to leave, or I’ll call the police immediately, and we’ll settle the damages you’ve caused us in court!”

If this project really belonged to Molly Walker, she wouldn’t interfere and would gladly watch the drama from the sidelines.

But now that she was in charge of the project, any issues would be her responsibility. Even if Molly had truly used her power for personal gain, she had to remain silent and swallow the bitterness!

Hearing the words “settle in court,” even Aaron Howard began to waver, regardless of how confident he was.

If they were to sue the Thompson family, they had no chance of winning at all, and they could even end up with more compensation to pay.

But if he backed down now, where would he put his reputation?

When Phoebe Belmont saw that they had begun to back down, she knew it was the right time.

She signaled her assistant, who handed her the items they had prepared earlier, “Come on, it’s lunchtime now. We know you’ve been working hard, so we’ve prepared lunch boxes for you all.”

After saying that, the security guards behind her handed out the pre-packed lunch boxes to Aaron Howard and the others, along with bottled water.

Receiving these things, the Howard family members felt somewhat embarrassed.

They had come to cause trouble, but they had also been given lunch boxes. Having received the favor, it was now impossible for them to pick a fight.

“The Thompson family is not here to harm the common people. Our Mr.

Thompson started with nothing and understands your hardships. But Ivy Thompson is indeed not in charge of this project. If you followed the news, you would know that she openly severed ties with Mr. Thompson. If she really did do such a thing, we would not stand by idly.” Phoebe Belmont’s red lips formed a straight line, her long eyelashes covering the calculations in her eyes.

Her words were clear. Ivy Thompson had severed ties with the Thompson family, and they should go find Ivy Thompson for any issues with her.

“Is she really not part of the Thompson family anymore?” Aaron Howard asked suspiciously, “The Thompson family no longer manages her?”

When he first learned that Molly Walker was Ivy Thompson’s friend and still Elizabeth Aitken’s friend, he was somewhat apprehensive. But now that he heard she was no longer Ivy Thompson, Aaron Howard was overjoyed.

“l don’t know the specifics, but she said herself that she doesn’t want to use the Thompson surname anymore and wants to continue using the Walker surname.” Phoebe Belmont smiled, her voice loud enough for not only these people to hear, but also the Thompson family employees behind her.

Actually, Daniel Thompson had not said that he didn’t recognize Molly Walker, but just thinking of the trap Molly Walker had set for her made Phoebe Belmont’s teeth itch in hatred.

She didn’t care about Ivy Thompson’s identity, right? Well, she shouldn’t use that identity anymore.

Without the protection of the Thompson family, she didn’t believe that Molly Walker could still be in good spirits.

Hearing that Molly Walker was no longer a part of the Thompson family, Aaron Howard was excited.

No wonder Elizabeth Aitken wasn’t bothered when he came over to cause trouble; it turned out that Molly Walker had already severed ties with the Thompson family.

Even though he couldn’t deal with the Thompson family, couldn’t he deal with a lonely woman who had been abandoned by her family?

As long as he controlled Molly Walker, he didn’t believe that Elizabeth Aitken would watch her friend get bullied.

Aaron Howard glanced at the beaming smile on Phoebe Belmont’s face, squinting his eyes in thought for a few seconds, then said to the relatives behind him: “Since Ivy Thompson is no longer related to them, we’ll leave first.’

Hearing this, Howard’s relatives sighed in relief.

They had wanted to leave a long time ago.

It wasn’t worth fighting with the Thompson family over a few thousand dollars, and there was no need to take the risk of losing either.

In no more than five minutes, a potentially huge problem had been resolved.

Phoebe Belmont’s assistant looked at her admiringly: “Mr. Belmont, your PR skills are really impressive.”

Phoebe Belmont raised the corner of her lips and laughed in delight, “It’s just a small matter. By the way, if the media wants to report on today’s event, there’s no need to deliberately block them.”

If Molly Walker wanted her to clean up the mess, she had to pay a price.

Phoebe Belmont laughed softly…

In the Third Hospital, Gillian Thompson’s hospital room.

Gillian Thompson lay in bed, her foot wrapped up tightly, looking somewhat miserable.

Doctors and nurses constantly monitored her condition and offered their greetings.

It wasn’t until after the doctors left that Molly Walker entered the room. Seeing her, a smile appeared on Gillian Thompson’s face, “Sister…”

“Call me by my name.” Molly Walker interrupted her without politeness.

Gillian Thompson’s embarrassment flickered across her face, “No matter what your relationship with Dad is like, the fact that you’re Ivy Thompson remains, and no one can change it. it’s only right that I call you my sister.”

Molly Walker gave a sarcastic smile, her slender fingers playing with her long hair, and seductively pursed her lips. Her voice was as soft as gauze, “Gillian Thompson, let’s not beat around the bush, let’s get straight to the point.”

“Did you arrange for someone to kidnap me?”

Gillian Thompson’s big eyes widened slightly, revealing a panicked look,

“What are you talking about? Why would I do such a thing?”

Gillian Thompson seemed to remember something, suddenly realizing, “Did you record this conversation again? Can’t we just talk normally?”

She pouted, “Believe it or not, I’ve never done anything to harm you.”

Molly Walker didn’t want to waste words with her and threw her cell phone on the bed, “I’m not that bored to record every conversation I have with you.”

Gillian Thompson glanced at the phone screen, her voice softening, “l know you’re on guard against me, so I just asked one more question, I didn’t mean anything else.”

“What about Mom? When she was with you, she used a recording too; is she also on guard against you?”
