Elizabeth wanted to rush up again, Molly stopped her: “Elizabeth.”
“Why are you here?”
Seeing Molly, Elizabeth’s face showed a hint of embarrassment. It was not very honorable for such a thing to be seen by friends, but soon she felt relieved because she knew Molly was on her side.
“I had some errands to run nearby, are you okay?” Molly walked up and stood with Elizabeth, her gaze coldly looking towards Bella Howard.
Bella was wearing thick, faded pajamas, covered in dust from rolling on the ground and her hair was messy with some weeds tangled in it – a disgraceful and fierce sight.
As Bella looked Molly up and down, Molly did the same. Bella was taken aback upon seeing Molly, her gaze quickly shifting from Molly’s face to the clothes and bag she was wearing.
Bella couldn’t recognize any of the brands Molly was wearing, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t evaluate people.
She was a hotel waiter, and she had encountered all kinds of people. The bags that people like Molly carried were only used by those who entered the presidential suite.
When did Elizabeth get to know such a wealthy person?
Looking at how close Elizabeth seemed to Molly, it seemed like they were close friends.
“Elizabeth, who Bella looked at Molly, her tone immediately softened, of course she was afraid of offending wealthy people.
“Sis.” Just then, Aaron Howard came over with a bag of wine. Seeing Elizabeth, he raised his voice, “Elizabeth Aitken! Why are you here?”
His gaze fell upon Mollys face, and his eyes lit up.
“Elizabeth, is this your friend?” He licked his lips, his laughter somewhat vulgar.
He had only seen such beautiful women on television. Even the women in the nightclub were not as good-looking as Molly.
He hadn’t expected Elizabeth to have such a friend.
He owed a lot of money, and Elizabeth refused to pay it back for him and had proposed a divorce. In addition, Elizabeth never had any children, so he knew he couldn’t salvage their marriage. He reluctantly agreed on the condition that Elizabeth would pay off half of his debts.
Seeing Aaron’s greedy eyes staring at Molly, Elizabeth felt disgusted.
Looking back, she realized she had been blind to end up with such a family.
“Brother, your ex-wife wants to move the furniture from our house. I won’t let her, so she wants to hit me. Will you do something about it?” Bella accused Elizabeth first. “l remember she used our wedding money to renovate her house, shouldn’t she move out of the house if she takes the furniture away?”
Bella kept mentioning Elizabeth’s house because her house was in a good school district, which would be convenient for their baby’s future education.
As for the old and dilapidated house they were in now, it had nothing.
“Bella, initially, you gave me fifty thousand dollars to renovate my house, but later I spent one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to renovate this old and dilapidated house. After the divorce, you made me take on over a hundred thousand dollars in debt. Now, can I sell the appliances in the house to offset the debt?” Elizabeth was not willing to be weak; she pointed to Aaron and asked the neighbors, “Are you all really going to help a man like him?”
To gamble and whore around?
The neighbors looked at each other, not daring to speak.
They only knew that Elizabeth couldn’t get pregnant, but they didn’t expect Aaron to be a gambling, whoring man.
Aaron didn’t expect Elizabeth to be so unyielding, and seeing Molly standing by her side, he felt like worms were crawling on his face.
Molly suddenly asked, “You were just saying that you wanted to exchange houses?”
Molly knew Elizabeth’s mom had a small apartment because it was bought after working and saving money in another city. At that time, it only cost a few tens of thousands of dollars, but later the price had increased.
But it was a forty-year-old property.
“Yeah, it’s a good deal for her if we swap our nice house with hers!” Bella angrily glared at Elizabeth.
Molly assessed their house, which was not very large, but like the house her grandmother had left her, it had a small yard and several trees around it. Although the house was only about forty square meters, the area was still around seventy or eighty square meters without any additional shares. “If Elizabeth agrees, can you guarantee not to regret it afterward?”
“Absolutely no regrets! I’ll be a grandson if I do!” Bella’s face lit up, and she tentatively asked, “Are you really going to trade houses?”
“Molly…” Elizabeth hurriedly pulled at Molly and whispered in her ear, “1…1 don’t want to trade.’
Although her house was small, it was a legitimate commercial house with a better environment than where they currently were.
Moreover, her father, sister, and younger brother all lived in that house, and it would be troublesome to move.
She didn’t know why Molly seemed to be on Bella’s side.
Molly patted Elizabeth’s hand and whispered, “Do you trust me?”
Trust her?
Elizabeth was anxious, but Molly’s eyes were clear and bright, and she looked serious. Elizabeth’s turbulent heart immediately calmed down.
She thought about how Molly was no longer the same person she was before.
She was now Ivy Thompson.
Alright!
She would gamble.
Besides, Molly wasn’t the kind of person to take advantage of others, except for Michael Gallagher.
Seeing Elizabeth calm down, Molly smiled. If Elizabeth didn’t trust her or didn’t want to trade, she wouldn’t force it. The matter of slum redevelopment and demolition was confidential, so even if they were good friends, she couldn’t reveal anything.
Moreover, there were so many people there. She could only ask if Elizabeth trusted her and not divulge any additional information.
If Elizabeth trusted her, she would do her best to help Elizabeth live a better life. If she didn’t, Molly wouldn’t interfere further.
Do you really want to exchange houses?” Bella’s face beamed with happiness, thinking such a good opportunity would fall on her. She hurriedly said, “Don’t wait, let’s go to the Real Estate Bureau tomorrow to complete the transfer.”
“Hold on…” Aaron squinted at Molly, suspecting she knew something. This house would only sell for a maximum of fifteen thousand dollars, and
Elizabeth’s house was valued around seven to eight hundred thousand dollars. Although it would benefit them, something seemed off. He couldn’t believe such good fortune would fall upon them.
Rolling his eyes, he suddenly said with a wretched smile, “1 won’t trade.”
“Aaron!” Bella’s face changed drastically, and she quickly hit him on the arm, “What nonsense are you speaking?!”
She apologetically glanced at Elizabeth, “Don’t listen to him, 1 agree even if he doesn’t.’
“It’s not that I don’t agree.” Aaron raised his chin, looking at Elizabeth, and said nonchalantly, “Elizabeth, our ancestral house may be old but at least it has a yard, and it’s bigger than your house. Your brothers and sisters could even live in an extra shed. It’s a good deal for you. But, 1 will only agree if you give me an additional four thousand five hundred dollars.”
“You!” Elizabeth didn’t expect him to be so greedy. She trembled with anger, pulling Molly and whispered, “Let’s not trade, let’s go.”
They hadn’t taken a few steps when Aaron quickly called out, “Wait a minute!” He rushed over and tried to appease them, “Hey, don’t be in such a hurry to leave, we can still talk.”
“What’s there to talk about when you’re acting so disgraceful?” Elizabeth was so angry that her brows ached.
“No need to add extra money, let’s forget about it. After all, we were married, and this little money doesn’t matter. Fine, let’s trade! We’ll go to the Real
Estate Bureau tomorrow.”
Seeing Aaron pretend to be in pain, the corners of Molly’s crimson lips raised slightly; her tone lazy, “We can trade, but you’ll add four thousand five hundred dollars..
