Chapter 56 - 56 is a counterfeit
“The truck driver contacted the eldest lady of the Richardson family, Isabelle Richardson, before he targeted Joshua Thompson.”
Eldest lady of the Richardson family, Isabelle Richardson.
A chill sliced through Molly Walker’s eyebrow. It was her again.
“Whatever it takes, we need to find evidence of Isabelle’s contact with the driver.”
Harry Lambert let out a languid hum: “What will you do next? Are you planning to go live with the Thompsons?”
Thinking of Gillian Thompson, Molly answered coldly, “No need, they are probably too busy to bother about me right now.”
Daniel Thompson had mentioned choosing a day to acknowledge her, but she did not agree nor refuse. Now that she had found her biological parents, returning to her ancestral family was inevitable. But if the Thompson family wasn’t in a hurry, she wasn’t either.
Once it’s publicly announced that she is Ivy Thompson, the media will likely follow her daily, which would make her tasks very troublesome.
Harry Lambert, remembering something, suddenly asked, “Are you sure you don’t want my help investigating your grandmother’s case? The entire organization is at your disposal, just give us orders. The power of the Richardson family is not as simple as we imagined, it would be dangerous for you alone.”
“No need, ” the light danced in Molly Walker’s beautiful eyes as she responded with a light laugh. “I want to handle my grandmother’s matter personally.”
It was once her grandmother’s enemy, and now it included setting up Joshua Thompson too.
When the time comes, not only her but the Thompson family would also cause trouble for Isabelle.
As she left the hospital, intending to hail a cab to the Gallagher’s, Lucy Thompson and a few girls bumped into her. Seeing Molly, Lucy sneered, “Yo, you’re here too?”
“Lucy, who is this?” A short-haired girl next to her looked Molly up and down, a flicker of admiration in her eyes.
The socialite circle was full of pretty girls, but rarely one with such distinctive personal charm.
Lucy, thinking about yesterday’s drama at the Thompson family dinner, they were all sent away. She didn’t know what Daniel had told everyone else. But since there was no new news from the Thompson family, it proved that Molly was not Ivy Thompson.
If Molly was Ivy Thompson, such explosive news would have leaked from the Thompson family by now. The silence only proved one thing – Molly was bluffing yesterday.
If Molly was Ivy Thompson, she should have been more cautious. But since she wasn’t, all she had to do was stick to Gillian Thompson, who was Molly anyway?
“As for her…” Lucy sneered wickedly, “She faked it, she even claimed to be Ivy
Thompson at the family dinner yesterday!”
“She is Ivy Thompson?” Another girl burst into laughter, “If she’s Ivy Thompson, then I can also pretend to be Ivy Thompson.”
“Exactly, which girl didn’t have such a daydream, waking up and suddenly becoming the daughter of the richest man. If she’s Ivy Thompson, then she must still be dreaming!”
Several girls chattered simultaneously, mocking Molly.
Molly’s lips curled into a smile: “Have you had enough?”
A daring yet unrestrained smile blossomed on her pretty face, her voice as cold as millennium-old ice.
The noise quieted down.
For some reason, even though she didn’t say much, it made people feel a strange chill.
“We say whatever we want, you can just ignore us. What, you want to stop us from talking?” Lucy Thompson crossed her arms, her nose pointed up, “I don’t know what kind of a spell you cast on my aunt, pretending to be Ivy won’t help, my Uncle and my brother’s favorite sister will always be Gillian.”
Molly kept her silence, the thought of Nicholas Thompson asking her to apologize to Gillian brought forth a cold laugh, she then walked around her to leave.
However, Lucy intentionally impeded her, clearly wanting to embarrass her.
“Where are you going? Is what I’m saying wrong? Come see everyone, there’s a shameless woman here pretending to be Ivy Thompson.”
Ivy Thompson is the lost daughter of the Thompson family, everyone in Sunnydale City knows that. Many girls have even fantasized about whether or not they’re Ivy Thompson, the youngest daughter of the Thompson family, and have three older brothers – it’s the kind of family one dreams of.
However, everyone only dares to harbour that dream in their heart, never daring to voice it.
After Lucy Thompson’s outburst, all nosy and curious people swarmed over.
Molly Walker understood; Lucy was deliberately trying to humiliate her.
“Is she Ivy Thompson? Did Daniel Thompson find his daughter?”
“The person who said that looks like Lucy Thompson of the Thompson family. Looking at her disdainful expression, she seems to think this woman is a fraud.’
“She is so good-looking, why does she want to be a fraud?”
“Who knows? Perhaps she has a delusion disorder.”
People around them were discussing and all their words fell into their ears.
On the other hand, Lucy Thompson thought it was straightforward. Isn’t Molly trying to pretend to be Ivy Thompson? Then she would expose her true face.
This scene was quickly snapped and uploaded by the media, quickly becoming a trending topic.
Gallagher Group, CEO’s office.
Michael Gallagher was discussing a collaboration with Jake Leaford, president of the Leaford Group who was scrolling through his cell phone. It seemed he found something interesting, his eyes looking straight at Michael Gallagher as he teased, laughing: “Your hidden wife is a trending topic.”
Michael Gallagher recalled her and Harry Lambert’s matter.
It cost him a lot of money to suppress that information. Did she cause more trouble?
Seeing Michael Gallagher not flinching, Jake Leaford passed him his cell phone: “She said she is Ivy Thompson. Lucy Thompson is there with a few women, mocking her.”
Ivy Thompson?
Michael’s eyebrows raised as he picked up the cell phone and glanced at it.
A few people were blaming Molly, surrounding her in the middle, and his calm wife’s comments below said she has a thick face.
“I remember your wife indeed was adopted, but saying she’s the Thompson Family’s lost daughter is too far-fetched. Do you think she’s crazy? There are so many other people she could impersonate, why is she daring to impersonate Ivy Thompson?” Jake Leaford narrowed his eyes and took a heavy puff of smoke, “The Thompsons are not people that can be easily fooled. If they think you are plotting something behind their back because of her, she would make big trouble.”
Upon hearing this, the assistant nervously looked at her boss.
How would Miss Molly dare to impersonate Ivy Thompson? If this is spread out, it is the boss who would get embarrassed.
Jake Leaford thought that Michael Gallagher would definitely be angry knowing this news. Surprisingly, he tossed the cell phone back to him, saying casually: “You seem to care about her.”
Under the cold gaze of Michael Gallagher, Jake felt a chill and quickly waved his hand: “Don’t talk nonsense, I don’t like this kind of woman.
He hardly had any impression of Molly; Michael Gallagher had never let them meet her face.
Jake understood; a hidden wife could not make a public appearance, thus his impression of Molly had only ever been, “college student”, “kept woman”, “dependent”.
In their eyes, a wife who could not be brought out was not considered a wife.
“But how do you see this Thompson family matter? You don’t actually think she is Ivy Thompson, right?” Jake Leaford’s remark made Michael Gallagher’s deep eyes darken a bit.
Joshua Thompson’s protection towards her, seems to not be without reason..
