Chapter 262: Chapter 261: Life and Death Uncertain

Translator: 549690339

Seeing Daniel Thompson like this didn’t make Molly happy; on the contrary, it left her feeling cold.

It was impossible for her not to mind the numerous excessive things Daniel had done to her.

After being in solitude for so many years and finally finding her biological parents, she had expectations in her heart, but never imagined her father would be such a person.

Watching Daniel’s tearful gaze, Molly stepped back a few steps, widening the distance between them.

“Mr. Thompson, I’ve told you before, your apology has no meaning to me.” She grinned bitterly, “Some damage has already been done, and it’s not something that can be made up for by apologizing. The word ‘father’ has always been distant to this wild child you raised outside. I used to have expectations for you, but time and time again, you’ve made me feel desperate. Now, I’ll just pretend my father is dead.”

“You don’t need to apologize because I will never forgive you.”

Molly’s tone was indifferent, but if you looked closely, you could see her eyes were brimming with tears.

If Daniel were the only person left in the world, perhaps she would consider forgiving him, but there were still her brother, Amanda Leaford, and her grandparents to consider.

She had no shortage of familial love.

Even though Daniel has been prepared for Molly’s words, his heart still trembled violently.

He knew Molly wouldn’t easily forgive him.

“Ivy, I know you won’t forgive me so quickly, but I’ve changed and will make up for it for the rest of my life. Including the family shares, I’ll also give you those ”

“No need.” Molly abruptly interrupted him, “I don’t need your money.”

Daniel’s face turned slightly pale.

Money was the thing he was most proud of; yet, his daughter didn’t need it.

That’s right, how could someone from “W” organization be short of money?

Molly no longer looked at his face, and stride towards the Leaford family’s villa.

Daniel wanted to say something but could only watch her leave with his words stuck in his throat.

Thinking of how he was deceived recently, his wife leaving him, and his sons ignoring him, Daniel suddenly felt his heart being torn into pieces, followed by a heart-wrenching pain that reached his mind.

He slowly crouched down, and when he looked up again, there was only confusion in his eyes.

Despite the bustling streets of Capital City at night, the noise was tumultuous and chaotic.

Daniel stood by a bridge.

Under the bridge, a few young guys were hanging around smoking.

“Brother, New Year is coming soon, and we haven’t made any money this year. We’re in deep trouble.” A thin, weak man complained to a muscular man about the difficulties they faced this year.

“A crackdown from above, we people have no way to make a living.”

The strong man put out his cigarette and spat out a mouthful of saliva with a fierce expression.

He stared at Daniel on the bridge and squinted his eyes. “There’s still a way out, you see, that man on the bridge wants to jump! You see that silver Rolex on his wrist? I’ve seen it in a luxury store, even the second-hand market for this discontinued model can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

Hundreds of thousands of dollars

The thin man gasped. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were enough for them to live on for several years.

“Will he really jump off the bridge?”

The thin man’s eyes shone as he stared intently at Daniel.

As long as this man jumped off, they would “save” him and take all of the valuables on his body!

In the black market for second-hand goods, watches were the best things to sell.

“Most likely.” The muscular man lit another cigarette, his eyes revealing a fierce glint as he stared at Daniel. “If he doesn’t jump, we’ll make him jump.”

Who would remember the watch during the chaos?

If the man drowned, there would be no evidence left.

Watches were the best indicators of one’s social status. A person who could afford a watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars would not have a low social status. However, the New Year was approaching, and they were poor, left with little choice but to take a risk.

They didn’t need anything else; they only wanted the watch.

Daniel didn’t know he was being watched, and as he walked, his eyes grew more and more bewildered.

Standing by the bridge looking at the pitch-black river, he was plunged into a dilemma.

One hour passed, and the men waiting nearby became impatient.

“Brother, will he jump or not?”

The thin man stared at the watch, itching to get his hands on it.

The burly man also couldn’t wait any longer, and as he strode over to Daniel, he hesitated a little.

“Hey, what are you doing standing here? Are you trying to commit suicide?”

Startled by the sudden voice, Daniel looked at the man in front of him in a daze. “I I don’t know ”

He seemed suddenly speechless, his lips trembling, and his face showing some fear.

“I can’t find my way home.”

Can’t find the way home?

The muscular man sized him up and smirked.

“Brother, he ”

“Alzheimer’s.” The man shook his head and chuckled softly. “This man is suffering from dementia.”

“Dementia!” The thin man was shocked. “He’s still so young ”

“Who says young people can’t get sick?” Thinking of his own father, he sneered. “Some people do evil things, and old age diseases find them easily; payback knows no age.” frёewebηovel.cѳm

He cocked an eyebrow and glanced at Daniel: “Let me take you home, brother.”

Daniel was at a loss for words, his body stiff, but he had forgotten everything and could only let the man lead him away helplessly.

Molly returned to the Leaford house and sent a message to No. 6: “Check out what happened to Daniel Thompson recently.”

Daniel’s change was too sudden, and even knowing the truth about Gillian Thompson’s parents was not enough to make him feel so guilty.

Recently Amanda had been suffering from insomnia. Although Amanda didn’t say anything, Molly knew that she hadn’t let go of her feelings for Daniel.

After all, he was the man she had loved for so many years. It must be more difficult for her to accept the fact that he changed, rather than his infidelity.

Molly approached Amanda’s room and raised her hand, just about to knock on the door, when Amanda hurriedly emerged from inside.

“Daniel is in trouble!”

Amanda held her cell phone, her face full of anxiety.

Molly’s heart skipped a beat.

Amanda rushed out, her footsteps faltering, and her legs noticeably weak.

Thinking of Daniel’s apology earlier, the pain and confusion on his face, Molly felt a bit of cold sweat on her palms.

She didn’t know what had happened to Daniel, but it had made Amanda panic like this.

Molly quickly went up to support Amanda: “Mom, don’t worry, whatever the problem is, let’s solve it together.”

Recently, Amanda was in weakened mental state, and Molly didn’t want her condition to worsen.

Her eyes caught a glimpse of the mobile phone in Amanda’s hand, and her heart sank when she saw the message.

“Mr. Thompson jumped into the river; his life is hanging in the balance and he is being rescued.”

Daniel jumped into the river?!

Molly never thought Daniel would be so desperate.

“No way, with his personality, he wouldn’t be so desperate; something must have happened!”

Amanda panicked, leaning heavily on Molly, her face deathly pale.
