Chapter 245
After Molly Walker and Zoey Lambert left the shopping mall, Zoey was still grumbling, “Has Uncle gone crazy? How can’t he understand this?”
Molly laughed. Thinking about the time when Michael Gallagher and Isabelle Richardson were caught up in a mess, she also felt that Michael might have lost his mind, not even noticing that Isabelle was obviously a green tea. But now she thinks that men are not blind to it, but used to indulging in the gentle town.
Zoey talked while carrying large and small packages. She said she was pregnant and couldn’t lift heavy objects, so most of the things were still held by Zoey.
“Where to?” Zoey fastened the seat belt and raised her eyebrows.
Molly was thinking, when she saw someone in the car in a convertible that sped past not far from them.
It was Phoebe Belmont and Daniel Thompson.
“Can you follow that car?” Molly smiled, “follow the one in front.”
When she was in the organization, she had accepted various tasks, including helping others to teach No. 3 a lesson.
She looked down on Amanda Leaford and didn’t want to teach her a lesson, so Molly would do it.
Zoey got the message, stepped on the gas, and quickly followed.
In a room of the Leaford family’s villa, a thick, gold-red flower-patterned carpet lay spotless on the floor, and the walls were decorated with beautiful and clean carved wallpaper. The exquisite crystal chandeliers shone brightly, making it hard for anyone to open their eyes.
An old woman and a well-dressed Amanda Leaford sat on the sofa in the corner.
“Would you like to reconsider Daniel’s matter?” Mrs. Leaford looked at her beloved little daughter, her heart twisted into a knot.
Yesterday, her family had humiliated Daniel in front of so many people, and she had been uneasy ever since.
“Mom, are you trying to persuade me too?” Amanda smiled helplessly, thinking that it would be a joke if she got divorced at this age.
“I’m not trying to persuade you. I just want you to think about it. You two have had so many years of feelings, and I’m afraid you’ll make a hasty decision.” Mrs. Leaford sighed, “I’m old, half my body is in the grave. I just want you to be happy. No matter what decision you make, your father and I will support you. If you want to come back, this family will always have a place for you.”
Amanda’s nose felt sour, and she said people used to say that a married woman didn’t have a home. How fortunate she was to still have a home after being ill for so many years.
“Mom, I understand your thoughts. I’ll talk to Daniel after I see him.”
Mrs. Leaford nodded with satisfaction, “That Phoebe Belmont can’t make any waves. The most important thing is Daniel himself.”
At this moment, the housekeeper came over and knocked on the door. He whispered, “Ma’am, Miss Leaford, Daniel Thompson is here. He’s outside the door.”
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Amanda walked downstairs calmly and saw Daniel standing anxiously by the door from a distance, and her heart suddenly stirred.
After recovering from her illness, her gratitude to Daniel outweighed her feelings. She hadn’t expected him to stay by her side for so many years, only to end things in such a clichéd way.
The moment Daniel saw Amanda, the shameful scene from last night flashed before his eyes, and the guilt in his heart instantly vanished, replaced by endless anger.
“Amanda, your Leaford family is really vicious. What did Gillian do to offend you? You want to break her leg?”
Daniel started with accusations.
Amanda’s face instantly turned cold, “Daniel, what nonsense are you talking about? What does Gillian’s leg have to do with our family? You’re getting old and confused!”
“Gillian is now in the hospital. She came here yesterday and her leg was broken. If it’s not you, who could it be?” Daniel was infuriated by her calling him “old and confused”. “You always disliked her. Now that she’s come to Capital City, she hasn’t bothered you. Why don’t you let go of even a disabled person? She’s our daughter, after all!”
Amanda didn’t know what he was yelling about, but she could guess the meaning of his words.
For some reason, Gillian had broken her prosthetic leg and blamed it on them.
Amanda had originally intended to have a good talk with Daniel, but she completely gave up on it now.
“She has parents, what does it have to do with us?” Amanda looked coldly at Daniel’s astonished face, walked over to the sofa, took out a pile of documents from her handbag, and threw them in front of him. “Gillian has been in contact with her parents and is using our money to support them. All the evidence is here. Only you, the fool, are still kept in the dark by her.”
Daniel’s lips were trembling, and his eyes were filled with shock. 𝘧𝘳𝓮𝓮𝓌𝘦𝓫𝓷𝘰𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝓬ℴ𝘮
Gillian’s parents were still alive?
Seeing the photos, Daniel’s face turned pale, and the veins in his forehead bulged as if they were about to burst.
The people in the photos were the ones Gillian had claimed to be her uncle and aunt last time.
“Also, Gillian’s leg has nothing to do with me or my family. Don’t jump to conclusions.”
Amanda’s voice was calm, and her heart was as still as water.
Looking at these materials, Daniel felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, waking him up. He looked at Amanda, stammered, “Amanda, I I’m sorry, I was too impulsive.”
Amanda waved her hand, her voice cold, “You’d better leave now. I have guests coming.”
Daniel wanted to explain but was discouraged by her disgusted look.
He hadn’t thought that Gillian would deceive him.
He had thought Gillian was the only relative on his side, but now he realized that he was the laughingstock.
“Why don’t you leave? Are you waiting here for dinner?” Amanda’s voice was as cold as an ice awl.
Daniel’s heart clenched painfully.
Just as he was about to walk out the door, he bumped into someone face to face.
“Chase Jackson!”
The guest Amanda was talking about turned out to be Chase Jackson!
Thinking about the attitude of the Leaford family and Chase’s motives, Daniel suddenly realized what was happening.
“Okay, that’s so good ” He stared at Chase, “How long have you two been together?”
Chase frowned, “Daniel, don’t think everyone is as dirty as you are if you’re dirty yourself.”
Daniel snorted coldly, glanced at Amanda, and left quickly.
Inside the Norman family’s villa, the luxurious decoration was all in the modern style. Jeremy Norman sat on the sofa, listening to the detective’s report.
“Michael Gallagher’s death is indeed strange because no one has seen what he looked like after his death. However, this fake death thing is too weird, so no one has ever doubted it. Mr. Norman, have you received any message?”
The man who spoke wore black sunglasses and handed over all the information he had found to him.
According to the investigation, it was indeed possible that Michael Gallagher was still alive.
“Noah Jenkins could come back from the dead. Why couldn’t he?”
