Seeing the text message, her smile froze on her face.
âWhatâs wrong?â Damian Thompson was the first to notice something off.
Molly Walker took a deep breath, slowly put down her cell phone, and her cold words were like icy bone-piercing chills: âThe man is gone.â
A deathly silence.
âThe driver had an accident on the road, was hit by a flowerpot that fell from the sky, and died on the spot, while the murderer was just an ignorant child who liked to throw things from heights.â
How could it be such a coincidence that this happened the day the murderer turned himself in?
Joshua Thompson let out a deep, terrifying chuckle from his throat. Damian Thompson and Nicholas Thompson wore expressions of deep frost.
âIsabelle Richardson really has a big life.â Joshua Thompson was really angry.
He didnât like Isabelle Richardson in the first place, but they hadnât reached the point of a full-on fight. Now, his patience had reached its limit.
âNo wonder the Richardson family is more ruthless than we thought.â Damian Thompson stood up, and under his gold-rimmed glasses, his beautiful eyes shone with brilliance.
Molly Walker felt as if there was a huge hole in her heart, and the cold air was gushing in.
Originally, she thought that this matter could bring down Isabelle Richardson, but she never expected that she could still escape even after all this.
Is it really so difficult to punish a bad person?
âAfter doing so many bad things, itâs impossible not to leave any traces.â
Just thinking about the Thompson family still having to work with the Richardson family, Joshua Thompsonâs stomach churned with anger.
âIâm going to find father.â He stood up suddenly.
âIâll go with you.â Damian Thompson followed him out.
Nicholas Thompson thought for a moment and said to Molly Walker: âWhere are you going? I can give you a ride.â
âNo need, the place I have to go, only I can go.â
Seeing her expressionless face, Nicholas Thompsonâs breath hitched, and his complexion darkened.
If Joshua Thompson were taking her, she would definitely not refuse, would
She?
In her heart, she still hadnât fully accepted him as one of her own.
Nicholas Thompson gave a bitter smile and walked in the direction of the Central Hospitalâ¦
Richardson Tower, Isabelle Richardsonâs office.
Upon learning of Charlie Johnsonâs death, Isabelle Richardson burst into laughter.
With him gone, and now allied with the Thompson family, she would finally no longer have to live in fear.
As long as Charlie Johnson was dead, she would no longer have any concerns behind her.
She had to quickly share this good news with Gillian Thompson.
Isabelle Richardson joyfully took out her cell phone.
Gillian Thompson had been very upset lately. Ever since she was hospitalized, her brothers had been fawning over Molly Walker all the time. Now that she was about to have surgery, not a single person came to see her and comfort her.
When she received a call from Isabelle Richardson, she couldnât suppress the agitation from the bottom of her heart: âDidnât I tell you not to call me if itâs not important?â
Isabelle Richardsonâs calls never brought any good news.
Isabelle, completely oblivious to this sentiment, spoke with excitement: âCharlie Johnson is dead.â âWho is Charlie Johnson?â
âThe driver.â
âReally?â Gillian Thompson was so shocked she sat up, âHow could it be such a coincidenceâ¦â
âMy Daddy arranged it.â Isabelle Richardson proudly said, and Gillian Thompsonâs heart tightened violently.
Isabelleâs indifferent tone, treating human life like grass, made Gillianâs face go numb and filled her heart with fear.
She had grown up with a high-quality education and never thought she would become involved with someoneâs life.
Gillian Thompson took a deep breath, her face turning cold: âIâm helping you just because youâre my friend. Iâm not interested in anything else, so you donât have to report everything to me.â
Her hand gripping the cell phone shook violently, and she felt somewhat regretful for helping Isabelle Richardson.
Isabelle Richardson had committed such an act, and she had helped her â in the future, she wouldnât be able to clear her name of any accusations.
âI just wanted to share the good news with youâ¦â
âYou donât have to share with me.â Gillian Thompson becomes more and more flustered, âI donât want to know anything.â
âSome things might be good news for you, but not for me.â
There was silence on the line for a few seconds before Isabelle let out a light hum.
Perhaps she was affected by what Gillian had said, and Isabelle didnât continue the topic.
Gillian hung up the phone in a daze and looked up, only to find Nicholas Thompson standing outside the door.
Gillian nervously hid her cell phone under the covers, trying to force a smile on her face: âSecond brother, when did you get here? Why didnât you knockâ¦
âI saw the door open and just came in.â Nicholas handed her a small package, âThe milk tea you love.â
Gillian took the heavy milk tea, opened it, and took a small sip.
Suddenly, Nicholas asked, âAre you and Isabelle close?â
Gillianâs hand loosened and the milk tea spilled outâ¦
Carrying the address given by Harry Lambert, Molly Walker arrived at a run-down neighborhood, and after a long search, she finally found a dilapidated door.
She knocked on the door, and a sleepy woman came out.
The woman was wearing loose pajamas and slippers, a cigarette dangling from her mouth, and her cheeks were sunken and thin.
Seeing Molly, she lifted her heavy eyelids: âWho are you looking for?â
âCharlie Johnson.â
The womanâs face tensed up for a moment before returning to her casual look: âI donât know him.â
As she pushed to close the door, Molly stopped it with her hand, and whispered, âHeâs dead.â
The womanâs hand faltered, and a sullen look appeared on her face: âWhat does his death have to do with me? I donât know him.â
She shoved Molly away and slammed the door shut.
Molly stood outside without leaving, saying through the door, âArenât you curious how he died?â
There was no response from inside.
âHe didnât deserve to die. Heâs dead now, taking the blame for someone else.
Donât you want to avenge him?â
Molly pressed her lips together and smiled: âThe person who caused his death is also my enemy. I can avenge Charlie for you.â
Finally, the door opened, and the womanâs eyes reddened: âWill you really avenge him?â
Molly nodded: âThat person also killed my family members.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The woman threw a package to her, moodily: âI hope you keep your word.â Molly wasnât surprised when she received the heavy package.
After learning that Charlie had extorted seven hundred fifty thousand dollars from Isabelle, she asked Harry Lambert to investigate his background.
Charlie lived frugally, there must be some hidden story behind this much money.
Harry sent her all the information he could find.
Charlie specialized in doing this kind of thing and was very cautious in dealing with anyone. If one didnât look closely, they would almost not be able to find any connection between him and this woman.
Finally, she found a record of Charlie sending money to a woman half a year ago. This record had been destroyed by him, but the organizationâs investigation methods directly infiltrated the system, and they could still track the transaction even if it was deleted.
Based on the account name, she found the woman.
When Harry found this woman, he was amazed: âCow, you are always so accurate about people.â
âItâs not that Iâm accurate about people, itâs that everyone has a weakness.â Charlieâs weakness was this woman.
Considering how cautious Charlie was, she assumed he would have left a backup plan.
Especially after he narrowly escaped being silenced, he would definitely leave something for the person he cared about, both as a way to threaten others for his own survival, and to help avenge him.
Charlie committed crimes and should be punished by the law, not by someone taking matters into their own hands and causing his untimely death.
More importantly, the real murderer, Isabelle, shouldnât be allowed to escape justice.
As she held the heavy package, Molly felt a weight lifted off her shoulders, her eyes red and swollen.
Grandmother, your granddaughter will soon avenge you!
