Really coming?
The middle-aged woman was suddenly wide awake, quickly standing upright. Next to her stood a young woman in a traditional long dress, so beautiful and elegant that she appeared to be in her twenties.
Upon hearing that Molly was coming, the woman in the long dress glanced at the door unconsciously, her face showing a touch of nervousness.
She had heard about the Gallagher family dinner and hurriedly asked her aunt to bring her along.
She liked Michael Gallagher and had liked him for a long time.
Michael was the first heir to the Gallagher Group, handsome and promising, and even though there were rumors that he had an illegitimate child and was divorced, she didn’t mind.
As much as Molly Walker was the fourth daughter of the Thompson family, if she wanted to remarry, the woman doubted she’d have much of a chance.
“Aunt…” she nervously gripped the middle-aged woman’s sleeve, who patted her shoulder with generosity, “Don’t worry, Violet. Miss Walker is not better than you in any way.”
Violet Summers forced a smile, but the nervousness on her face didn’t lessen.
Seeing her like this, the middle-aged woman sighed. Her niece was excellent, but just a bit too shy.
“Mmm!” Violet glanced at Michael Gallagher, her face blushing slightly.
Hearing that Molly was coming, Lana Lewis was overjoyed, her face rosy and her spirits high.
The various remarks from the rest of the Gallagher family didn’t affect Lana; she didn’t care about the opinions of the other side branches. All she cared about now was Molly Walker.
Molly entered the room under everyone’s gaze, pausing for a moment when she saw the scene inside.
She had never seen a family dinner with so many people. Even the last
Thompson family dinner wasn’t like this, with no place to sit even in the living room.
Today, she wore a simple light gray-blue woolen coat that highlighted her small, delicate, and fair face. She was holding a small package in her hand, and although her attire was nothing out of the ordinary, there was just something different about her compared to everyone else. Perhaps it was her beautiful face that made her clothes seem like mere foils.
Her big and bright eyes were especially moving, along with her curly lashes, straight nose bridge, and an inherently enchanting temptation that inexplicably attracted everyone’s attention.
She walked directly towards Lana and softly called her “mom”.
Hearing this address, those who were watching seemed to suddenly wake up.
“Miss Walker, since you and Michael are divorced now, calling her ‘mom’ doesn’t seem appropriate,” said an old woman, her expression full of contempt.
“I told her to call me this. I like it. I’m happy. Do you have a problem with it?” Lana responded fiercely, “Mind your own family’s affairs. There’s no room for your involvement in my family’s matters.”
The old woman’s face alternated between blue and white.
“Come here, Molly. Sit beside me,” said Lana, ignoring her and pulling Molly to sit down next to her. She spoke softly, “I’ve wanted to hold a family dinner since you were at the Gallagher house, but Michael said your marriage was a secret and it wasn’t suitable to be announced. I didn’t expect that the family dinner would happen so soon.”
Molly glanced at Michael Gallagher, his deep eyes revealing no emotion.
From the moment she entered, his gaze had been focused on her.
He never thought that she would come.
His assistant had been waiting for two hours, and he thought she wouldn’t show up.
As Molly met Michael’s deep pupils, her heart tightened.
In the end, she was still afraid, afraid that her mother-in-law would reveal her secret to everyone.
“Since everyone is here, let’s talk about the aftermath,” said Lana Lewis, as the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
No one would be so forthright about discussing their aftermath.
Even the members of the Gallagher family who were prepared for this couldn’t help but gasp at Lana’s words.
Molly’s heart tightened, and she quickly grabbed Lana’s hand, who smiled and held hers in return.
“You all should know by now that I’m suffering from a terminal illness, and I don’t have long to live. But I’m ready to face life and death with an open mind because there’s nothing for me to worry about anymore,” Lana said confidently.
Her two sons had found their successors.
Thinking of this, Lana Lewis gratefully took Molly Walker’s hand and said to everyone, “After I die, all my personal property will go to Molly.”
“What?”
“Sister-in-law, think it over!”
All the others were taken by surprise.
Lana’s property is worth at least several hundred million. When she was young, she had no other hobbies and liked to buy houses. Decades later, the prices of these houses have increased manifold.
Now she’s saying that she will give all her property to Molly?
“Are you crazy? This woman has divorced Michael already. You can’t give the Gallagher family’s property to an outsider!”
“That’s right, think it over! This is not a small matter; don’t make a mistake!” The other members of the Gallagher family were speechless and jealous. They thought that there was some posthumous arrangement to be communicated at the family dinner, and that at least they would have a share in it. However, they didn’t expect Lana to give all her property to an outsider.
The hall was filled with noisy discussions as Lana, seemingly not hearing them, asked a servant to get her paper and pen to write her “will” on the spot. Seeing this, Molly’s eyelids twitched and stopped Lana: “Mom, thank you, but I can’t accept something I haven’t earned.”
“You have to,” Lana held her hand earnestly. A thousand words were whirling in her mind, but in the end, her lips moved without uttering the most crucial sentence.
Molly’s heart trembled as it rose to her throat.
She knew her mother-in-law’s intention—she wanted to give the property to the baby in her womb.
Molly was making this “will” in front of so many people so that she could rightfully inherit the “inheritance.”
As Molly thought about her mother-in-law’s possible last burst of strength, her nose soured and she slowly lowered her head.
Michael Gallagher glanced at her, his lips tightened, and his face showed no surprise.
His mother had told him about this, saying it was compensation for Molly and that it was a debt the Gallagher family owed her. Michael allowed this since Molly had left with nothing.
He did not want Molly to leave empty-handed. Instead, he wished her wealth could grow so that other men wouldn’t easily win her heart. For example, Jeremy Norman sending her a house…
Michael’s smile took a cold turn. “I’ll write it.”
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded.
Violet Summers stood beside the servant, carefully looking at the “will” on the paper, smiling: “If you write it in this format, it won’t be legally binding. I know about this; let me write it.”
The servant looked at Lana, and when she nodded, handed Violet the paper and pen.
Molly looked at Violet in her beautiful and elegant white embroidered traditional long dress.
She had the unique Eastern beauty, intelligence, and grace, as well as the Western hot figure—full bosom and protruding hips, sexy but not vulgar.
At a single glance, Molly fell in love with this girl.
After Violet finished writing the “will,” she showed it to Lana, then handed it to
Molly, shyly smiling, “Miss Walker, check if there’s anything to be changed.”
Molly took a brief look, attracted by the beautiful writing on the paper. It was as neat as if it were printed, making one feel refreshed by just looking at it.
“I have no problem with it.”
“Okay.”
Violet smiled at Molly, “Miss Walker, you can call me Violet..”
