Molly Walker’s eyelids gently lifted, her pupils were pitch black, a mocking yet enticing smile graced her lips.

“It’s quite a pity, he didn’t know how scheming I was even until his last breath.”

Molly laughed softly, laughing until her nose was somewhat stuffy.

Michael Gallagher was dead.

What kind of person she was, he could no longer see.

Isabelle Richardson opened her mouth, as if she had lost her soul, staring blankly at the ground without moving.

Everything had settled.

Molly offered a self-deprecating laugh, hands stuffed in her pockets, palms chillingly cold.

Taking a deep breath, she lightly lifted her foot, slowly walking out of the room.

Stepping out of the prison, the blinding sunlight shone on her face, making her eyes sting.

She squinted uncomfortably.

“Miss Thompson ” Emma Smith ran after her and stopped her, “Where are you going? Let me give you a lift.”

Molly gave her a glance, laughing softly, “I’m going to attend the Chamber of Commerce meeting tonight, Miss Smith, would you like to join me?”

She had a good impression of Emma Smith. Although they were half sisters with Isabelle, their personalities and qualities were vastly different.

She was grateful for Emma’s assistance with Jamie Smith’s matter.

“The Chamber of Commerce? Is it the large-scale meeting that Sunnydale City holds every year?” Emma Smith’s eyes brightened with admiration, “Even though I am Samuel Richardson’s daughter, I am not yet qualified to attend ”

To outsiders, she was simply Samuel Richardson’s illegitimate daughter, unacknowledged by the Richardson family directors, lacking an appropriate status to attend such a meeting.

Even though she was eager to broaden her horizons, she did not even have a ticket, only envy.

“If you want to go, I can bring you in.” Molly took out a ticket from her bag and gave it to her, “I just happen to have an extra one.”

Emma Smith took the ticket, her excitement overwhelming.

The excitement wasn’t just about her being able to attend, but also because Ivy Thompson was the one to bring her in.

Ivy Thompson, daughter of the richest man in Sunnydale!

She had just seen how remarkable Ivy was. According to Isabelle, Ivy was not only brave and strategic, but also had her own connections, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to switch Isabelle’s medication.

Honestly, she admired Ivy a lot. She was a type of girl who knew when to advance or retreat, the type she hoped to become.

“Don’t you want to go?”

Seeing Emma’s silence, Molly asked again with a smile.

Emma Smith nodded eagerly, “Sure, of course Thank you, Miss Thompson.”

“You don’t have to be so polite, you can call me Molly in the future.”

“Then can I call you Sister Molly?” Emma asked shyly, knowing that Molly was older.

Molly was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, “Sure.”

A red hue appeared in Emma’s eyes.

Great, she was one step closer to her idol!

Thompson Group, CEO’s office.

Daniel Thompson ended a call anxiously, eyes raising just to see Phoebe Belmont standing at the door.

“Come in.”

At the sound of Daniel Thompson’s voice, Phoebe bit her lower lip and walked in with her high heels clicking.

“What’s the matter?” Daniel’s voice was unresponsive.

With red-rimmed eyes, Phoebe asked anxiously, “I heard you had a quarrel?”

Daniel Thompson raised his eyes, his face impassive, neither admitting nor denying.

“She doesn’t understand you.” Phoebe plucked up courage, “I watched Gillian Thompson grow up. I know what kind of person she is. Gillian is filial and always includes you in our conversations. I don’t understand. Everything was fine before, how could you abandon your adopted daughter as soon as your biological daughter came back?

My neighbors couldn’t have a child, so they adopted one. The second year after adoption, they conceived their own child. After the baby was born, they sent the adopted child away. Later, their whole family suffered misfortune and their biological child also died of illness. Everyone said that the biological child brought disaster, so when they sent the adopted child away, the family’s fortunes were dispersed. I think what you did was right. Your kindness toward Gillian shows your kindness, balancing both parties. Amanda Leaford Maybe having been insane for so many years, she doesn’t have much affection for Gillian. I, an outsider, even have feelings for this child. I don’t understand how Amanda could be so heartless ”

At this point, she stopped talking.

Daniel Thompson didn’t interrupt her, but his face darkened increasingly.

Phoebe Belmont’s words deeply affected him.

Even he found it hard to comprehend how Amanda Leaford turned out this way.

Perhaps, as Phoebe suggested, Ivy’s return changed the family’s fortunes.

Thinking of Amanda Leaford’s and family members’ attitudes, Daniel Thompson closed his eyes, letting out a sigh.

His family, didn’t understand him as much as an outsider did.

“Phoebe, I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful underneath your tough exterior.”

Phoebe Belmont’s heart jolted, a blush creeping onto her face, making her look a bit shy.

“My mom also said that I’m very meticulous though it doesn’t seem so because I’m a workaholic. Many people don’t notice it. What I just said was from my heart.” She approached with a sympathetic expression, “Mr. Thompson, I know you’re not ruled by emotions. Gillian made tremendous contributions to the company. You treat her well, not only because you are her father, but also because you are the boss of Thompson Group. Your attitude toward her reinforces the employees’ trust in you.”

“If your family doesn’t understand, you can talk to me in the future. I can understand since I’m also part of Thompson Group.”

Those words made Daniel Thompson’s heart throb, surprise flashing in his eyes.

Thinking of the woman he quarreled with at home, he felt a twinge of pain deep inside.

When Amanda was young, she could understand him, but now, they were growing apart.

It would be great if Amanda could be as far-sighted as Phoebe.

Unfortunately, having been pampered and protected by him for numerous years, Amanda developed a willful nature.

Looking at his desolate figure, Phoebe felt a lump in her throat. She reached out with a longing to embrace him.

Watching the hand stretched towards him, Daniel Thompson went silent, his gaze deepening.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

“Daddy, it’s me.”

It was Gillian Thompson.

“I have something to talk to you about. Is it convenient now?”

Upon hearing her anxious voice, Daniel Thompson narrowed his eyes.

In the office at the moment, besides him, there was Phoebe Belmont. For reasons he couldn’t quite explain, he instinctively didn’t want to disrupt the current ambiance.

“I’m busy right now, go down and wait a while. I’ll call you up when I’m done.”

“Alright.” Gillian obediently turned and left, but after only a few steps, she heard Phoebe’s voice coming from inside the office.

With a puzzled frown, Gillian perked her ears, instinctively nearing the office.

Just then, the door opened, and Phoebe, her face flushed, walked out.

Seeing Gillian, the color in Phoebe’s face abruptly drained, she asked in surprise, “You didn’t leave?”

Seeing Phoebe’s reaction, Gillian’s heart skipped a beat, casting a suspicious glance at the office.

What could be so secretive that it had to be discussed behind closed doors?

Especially seeing Phoebe’s bashful expression, she couldn’t help but feel that they were up to no good.
