“I heard that the Thompson Group almost had a capital fracture this year, all thanks to Gillian Thompson.”
“I heard that too. She even knows people from the ‘W’ organization; she must be feeling so smug now.”
“An adopted daughter outshines the biological daughter; I wonder if Daniel Thompson is happy or sad.”
“Of course he’s happy. Didn’t you see he brought the adopted daughter with him and left his biological daughter behind?”
Everyone’s chatter entered Molly Walker’s ears.
Upon entering the hotel, she took off her coat to reveal her enticing and beautiful figure.
“Sister Molly, let’s go.” Emma Smith rolled her eyes secretly.
She knew what these people were talking about.
A while ago, the news of Gillian Thompson calling dozens of company bosses within two days had spread widely, especially her close relationship with the “W” organization, which was a hot topic.
Samuel Richardson reminded her to build a good relationship with Gillian Thompson.
However, she didn’t like Gillian at all. So what if Gillian had a good relationship with that organization? She didn’t want to fawn on her insincerely.
“She’s so arrogant now because she has the backing of that organization.” Emma Smith looked at Molly’s expression and carefully explained, “Actually, everyone knows that if not for that organization, your father wouldn’t have brought her over.”
That’s human nature, especially those who hold high positions, who know how to weigh pros and cons. With the “W” organization behind Gillian Thompson, Daniel Thompson would also look favorably upon her.
Molly nodded indifferently.
Seeing that her mood wasn’t affected, Emma Smith let out a sigh of relief. Today, she was able to attend the Chamber of Commerce event thanks to Ivy Thompson, who not only invited her but also gave her a set of clothes and a bag. She wanted to refuse, but Ivy said it was a gift for convincing Jake Smith.
She nervously accepted the gift and took note of the kindness in her heart, promising herself that she would repay Ivy when the opportunity arose.
Soon, the two of them entered the venue after having their tickets checked.
At that moment, Emma Smith’s cell phone rang. After answering the call, she looked at Molly hesitantly.
“You can go and do your own thing, don’t worry about me.”
Hearing this, Emma gratefully smiled at her.
The call was from Samuel Richardson, who asked her to come to him after knowing she was there.
After bidding farewell to Molly, Emma found Samuel Richardson.
Seeing Emma, Samuel Richardson’s suspicion was shattered, and he squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice, “How did you get in?”
The entire Richardson family only had two tickets. The Chamber of Commerce wanted to control the number of attendees, so he couldn’t even buy an extra ticket with money.
“Ivy Thompson gave it to me.” Emma didn’t hide the truth and told the whole story from beginning to end.
Samuel Richardson’s expression showed a hint of surprise.
How did Ivy Thompson have a ticket?
He didn’t think too deeply, simply reminding her: “Ivy Thompson is not liked by Daniel Thompson. Now in the Thompson family, Gillian Thompson is getting all the attention. You should take the time to build a good relationship with her. As for Ivy don’t interact with her too much.”
When Michael Gallagher was there, he was still wary of Molly. Today, Daniel Thompson brought Gillian Thompson over, clearly telling everyone that the adopted daughter was more important than Ivy.
“Many people will start to cozy up to Gillian Thompson after today, so don’t be like your sister, offending everyone. You’re smarter than her; you should know which relationships are good for the company.”
Emma’s face paled slightly.
This was a clear indication from Samuel Richardson that she should give up on Ivy Thompson and try to please Gillian Thompson instead.
If she really did so, it would be a complete betrayal.
Maybe it’s because she had accepted Ivy’s favors that she plucked up the courage to refute Samuel Richardson today-
“I choose Ivy.” Facing Samuel Richardson’s cold face, she lifted her chin and said firmly, “Things may change in 30 years; who knows? What was the result of my sister’s good relationship with Gillian Thompson? If I have to choose, I’ll choose Ivy, at least she’s willing to give me clothes and take me to the Chamber of Commerce.”
She was sure that even if she had a good relationship with Gillian Thompson, Gillian wouldn’t treat her as well as Ivy did.
She was neither ungrateful nor a fair-weather friend.
When Emma Smith dared to refute him, Samuel Richardson’s face darkened, and he yelled in a low voice, “Having a falling out with Gillian Thompson, who has close ties with the ‘W’ organization, is like having a falling out with the ‘W’ organization!”
He didn’t want to get involved in these matters, but Gillian Thompson had the support of the “W” organization, which was what he cared about.
Seeing Emma Smith’s determined attitude, Samuel Richardson was so angry that his face turned green; his daughter was becoming increasingly disobedient.
“I’ll go take care of things now. If you need me, Daddy, just call me.”
Avoiding her father’s gaze, Emma Smith quickly ran away without waiting for Samuel Richardson’s reply.
On the other side, Gillian Thompson entered the room arm in arm with Daniel Thompson, and as soon as they entered, they were surrounded by others.
Daniel Thompson was the richest man in Sunnydale, and his carefully cultivated daughter naturally became the object of others’ pursuit.
The Chamber of Commerce was attended each year by Daniel and Damian Thompson, but this time he brought his daughter. The smart people quickly sensed the business opportunities in it.
“Why did Mr. Thompson bring his daughter this time? Where’s Damian? I didn’t see him.” The one who spoke was Felix Thompson, Lucy Thompson’s father.
As soon as he spoke, everyone else’s attention was drawn to Gillian Thompson’s figure.
Felix Thompson acted as their mouthpiece, asking the question they most wanted to ask.
“Damian is unwell ”
“Oh, Damian is here!” Felix Thompson, in high spirits, looked towards the entrance. His eyes were shining unusually bright, and when he saw Nicholas Thompson and Joshua Thompson next to Damian, a hint of surprise crossed his face, “Nicholas, and Joshua, too.”
What happened to the rule of no more than three tickets per family?!
Did Daniel Thompson’s wealth allow him to bring all his children here this time?
Daniel Thompson frowned and looked towards the entrance. When he saw this, his heartbeat almost stopped.
What did he see?!
His three sons came dressed stylishly, one in front of the other, walking towards him.
Damian wore a white suit, with a gentle smile on his face. Nicholas was dressed in a navy-blue fishtail suit, revealing a restrained luxury. Joshua was wearing a pink suit, with eye-catching yellow hedgehog-like hair. A playful and unrestrained smirk hung at the corners of his lips. Their entrance drew screams with each step.
Seeing these three sons, Daniel Thompson was not only unhappy but also furious.
Especially his eldest son, who had refused to attend the Chamber of Commerce event due to illness, now stood tall and full of energy, looking more like an elegant young master than someone who was sick.
Joshua noticed Daniel Thompson first, whistled, and strolled over casually, greeting loudly, “Hey, Father! What a coincidence!”
What coincidence?!
As expected, money can make the ghosts grind. They must have bought their way in!
Many people cast resentful and angry glances at Daniel Thompson, filled with jealousy and annoyance.
They had tried every means to bring an extra person in but couldn’t, while the Thompson family, on the other hand, had all come.
Seeing them, Daniel Thompson’s face turned as black as coal, and he asked in a stern tone, “How did you get in?”
If they had really bought the tickets with money, then today he would be thoroughly humiliated.
“Fourth Sister gave us the tickets.” Damian Thompson shrugged and smiled, casually mentioning it. Still, it stirred up waves of commotion among the crowd.
Fourth Sister, who was she?
Ivy Thompson!
What was her ability that she could get four tickets?
The atmosphere became awkward, making people speculate for no reason.
Upon seeing Damian, Gillian Thompson’s body stiffened.
How could they come
If Damian and the others had come, would Ivy also be here?
Gillian Thompson’s head buzzed, and fear roiled in her chest.
