The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce-Chapter 329 - 328 Unable to Keep a Man’s Heart
Chapter 329: Chapter 328 Unable to Keep a Man’s Heart
Amanda Leaford’s emotionless words hit Daniel Thompson as if he had been struck hard.
It’s over…
Indeed, she has fallen in love with Chase Jackson…
When they were young, he hadn’t lost to Chase Jackson, but in his middle age, he lost to him.
This blow left Daniel Thompson in a daze for quite a while.
Seeing him pretending to be sick, Amanda was even more furious.
Pretending to have dementia, what a great act, what does she think of herself? And everyone else? Toying with them like monkeys?
Amanda Leaford left without looking back.
After a while, Daniel Thompson finally came to his senses.
He wasn’t here to argue today, he wanted to reconcile with Amanda. How did their conversation end up talking about divorce?
He quickly turned around to chase after Amanda Leaford.
“Amanda, Amanda, wait!” Daniel Thompson pulled her, his face pale, “Let’s talk things out properly, don’t tell the kids about me pretending to be sick…”
Amanda shook off his hand and coldly stared at him: “You think Ivy doesn’t know, and your son doesn’t know? Your lousy acting might have fooled me, but can it fool them? How can you still be so obsessed, it’s so disappointing!”
Daniel Thompson’s expression froze.
What did she mean?
The kids already knew he was pretending to be sick?
How was that possible? He had been acting so well, even taking a few days to study.
“Daniel Thompson, if you sincerely repent, then be sincere and treat our children well. That way, I might still be able to respect you for the sake of the children.”
As she said this, a touch of sadness flashed through Amanda’s heart.
The reason she had tolerated Daniel for so long was because of their past feelings and the fact he was their children’s father.
But now, Daniel is becoming more and more unreasonable.
“Fine, I sincerely repent. What about you?” Daniel closed his eyes in pain, “How long have you been with Chase Jackson behind my back? I can break up with Phoebe Belmont, but can you break up with Chase Jackson?”
“Amanda, I asked you back then, choose him or me. You said you loved me, and now…” The thought of Amanda and Chase Jackson being together made Daniel Thompson grit his teeth, “No matter what, I won’t divorce you, and I definitely won’t let you be with him.”
Amanda coldly left only one sentence: “Whatever you want” and then left.
Watching her leave without looking back, Daniel Thompson’s heart ached.
At this moment, Phoebe texted him: “Mr. Thompson, have the misunderstandings between you two been resolved?”
Daniel Thompson’s heart was tightly twisted.
Misunderstanding, there was no misunderstanding between him and Amanda.
Amanda and Chase Jackson really were together; they were serious.
At this time, the anger in Daniel Thompson’s heart was covered by sadness and pain.
Looking at Phoebe’s profile, the idea of revenge began to emerge in his heart.
If Amanda had an affair, what right did she have to criticize him for having an affair?
He sternly sent a message to Phoebe: “Come to the Leaford family’s villa tonight.”
Phoebe quickly replied: “Why are we going there?”
“To announce our relationship.” Daniel Thompson replied coldly.
Molly Walker was waiting outside the villa, seeing Amanda leave, she let out a sigh of relief.
Just now, she had been worried that the two would start a fight. Now, it seemed that Amanda was more like withdrawing completely.
“Call your brother and the rest of them over.” Amanda’s face was somewhat weary.
“They just left, saying they’ll be back for dinner tonight.”
Fearing other media outlets would spread false news, her brother and the others went directly to the media companies. With threats, bribes, and warnings, the incident was finally put to rest.
When Daniel Thompson’s affair with Phoebe came out, her brothers hardly took any action.
However, in the same scandal, her brothers clearly cared more for their mother, directly buying out the media’s stories.
“Your father’s illness is fake.” Amanda didn’t plan to hide this from her most beloved youngest daughter.
Ultimately, Daniel only pretended to be sick to secure their marriage and save face after his scandal with Ivy.
If Daniel was indeed sick, that would be one thing. She couldn’t possibly leave him when he was sick with dementia.
But she never expected Daniel Thompson would actually fake it.
He would never hide anything from her in the past, but now he’s more willing to believe the No. 3 outside.
Decades of emotion have faded away.
Looking at Amanda’s red eyes, Molly Walker’s heart also felt uneasy.
“Did he tell you about the illness?”
Amanda nodded, sarcasm flashing in her eyes. “He told me not to tell any of you. He did so many outrageous things, yet still wanted to save face for himself.”
Molly was silent.
From the moment Daniel faked his illness, he put his own pride first.
“Mom, don’t make choices that make you suffer for us.” Molly held her hand firmly, saying decisively, “We are all living good lives now. Brother has taken over the Thompson Group, so the property won’t fall into anyone else’s hands.”
She knew that Amanda had always been worried about them, fearing that they would be at a disadvantage.
In the past, Daniel was the president of the Thompson family and their nominal father, but now he is nothing of the sort.
They only have one mother.
The only reason Daniel became their father was that he was Amanda’s husband.
Other than that, he meant nothing.
Hearing this, the distress in Amanda’s heart was abruptly soothed, her eyes brimming with tears. “People say daughters are close to their mothers’ hearts. If it weren’t for your comfort during these times, I really don’t know what I would have done. Some things are not convenient to discuss with your brothers.”
“Think about the over twenty years we were apart. If you hadn’t left us, you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
To keep Amanda from dwelling on the subject, Molly quickly changed the topic: “I’m living a good life now…”
She pointed at her stomach, “By finding me, you not only gained a daughter, but also a grandchild.”
Amanda looked at her stomach, breaking into a sudden smile, “That’s true. Fortunately, you’re living well now, otherwise I would never forgive myself.”
Back then, she worked herself to the bone to have so many children with the hope of having a daughter. Her obsession led to her mental breakdown when her daughter had an accident.
Seeing the regret on her face, Molly felt a lump in her throat.
It was precisely because of her accident that Amanda went insane for so many years. In a way, she was the biggest victim of the whole incident.
She had always asked the organization to investigate the reason for her disappearance, but they could never find any leads.
The “W” organization’s intelligence network covered the entire world. If they couldn’t find the information, it meant only one thing: the enemy’s network was even more extensive.
Who was it that took her away and left her by the trash bin?
Over the years, the richest Thompson family couldn’t find her whereabouts, nor could people from the “W” organization find her background. The clues were cut clean, but something about it seemed extraordinary.
Molly spent the entire afternoon consoling Amanda, finally lifting her spirits, but this state of mind didn’t last long before the Leaford family had an unwelcome visitor.
“What are you doing here?” Seeing Phoebe, Amanda’s body trembled slightly and she looked to the security guards, “Drive her away, we don’t welcome her here.”
“Amanda, this is your brother’s house, not yours. Who are you to call the shots?” Gaining Daniel’s approval had considerably emboldened Phoebe.
She was wearing a light purple fur coat, her hair curled into big waves, with fiery red lipstick, looking alluring and charming.
“Besides, I didn’t want to come here. Daniel called me.” Phoebe touched her hair and smiled smugly.
Brother Daniel…
Amanda’s face changed instantly.
“What are you still standing here for?” Molly looked at the hesitant security guards. “How do you guys work as security? Letting anyone in?”
“I invited her to come here.” Daniel walked over with a calm expression, looking at Amanda before cold-heartedly saying, “I remember that I contributed some money when your parents bought this house. So, don’t I count as half the owner? It’s not too much for the owner of the house to invite a guest, is it?”
Daniel’s words were like a knife, stabbing deep into Amanda’s heart.
Amanda tried to control her emotions, but her clenched fists betrayed her feelings. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

So much for the owner of the house!
When her parents wanted to buy this big house after she had given birth to Damian, it was Daniel who offered to help, saying it was to make amends and show filial piety for marrying her away.
How did so much time pass, and now it has become his house?
Hearing Daniel’s words, Phoebe’s eyes lit up.
This house belongs to Daniel too?
The price of the houses here couldn’t compare to those in Sunnydale. In Capital City, every inch of land was expensive.
Indeed, being the richest man had its benefits; money was never an issue.
Moreover, just now, Daniel blatantly took her side in front of Amanda.
Finally, Daniel had protected her in front of Amanda!
She was about to turn the corner!
With this thought, Phoebe couldn’t help but be excited, her hands trembling and her eyes brighter.
After waiting so long, she finally saw hope!
Trying to suppress her excitement, Phoebe looked at Amanda triumphantly, her eyes sweeping across Amanda’s beautiful face, a hint of jealousy passing through the depths of her gaze.
She had to resort to countless aesthetic medical procedures to maintain her youthful appearance, while Amanda’s beauty was all-natural.
Some people were indeed blessed with good looks, but what did it matter? Amanda was older than her and would age in time anyway.
What good did it do Amanda to have so many sons if she still couldn’t keep her man’s heart in the end?
