“Boo-hoo, he’s alive, he’s actually alive.” Right in the middle of the living room, a well-built man covered his mouth and cried out loud.

Onlookers gazed at him in doubt, “Since when did you start caring so much about Michael Gallagher?”

“It it doesn’t have anything to do with me ” The muscular man rubbed his swollen eyes, took a deep breath, sniffled, “His being alive just means there’s no hope for me.”

As long as Michael Gallagher lived, whether he was gay or straight, the third son of the Thompson family would never glance his way.

He experienced a profound heartbreak!

Seeing a grown man crying his eyes out like a drama queen, the bystanders cringed in disgust and moved further away, giving him more breathing space.

The query from Jeremy’s mother didn’t alter James Leaford’s expression. He glanced at Michael Gallagher and stated unequivocally, “What kind of explanation do you expect from me? Do you want to force my niece to marry your son?”

Jeremy’s mother tilted her chin slightly, “Forcing? That’s too strong a word. I just want to know your thoughts on this. I am not forcing anyone.”

“If that’s the case, then we should respect my niece’s wishes. Yes, your son saved me, but don’t forget, Michael Gallagher saved my niece as well. It’s a shame I am a man; otherwise, after your son saved me, I would willingly repay his kindness, without needing you to force me. But at this age, it’s clearly absurd for me to offer myself to your son, right?”

Upon hearing this mockery, Jeremy’s mother’s face turned sour immediately.

“Who asked you to dedicate yourself? James Leaford, how could you be so shameless at this age?”

“Aren’t you older? I don’t see you exercising any restraint,” Natalie Lambert retorted sardonically, disdain flashing in her eyes.

Only a person as shameless as her could use this matter to pressure others.

“Yes, your son saved my father. If anyone should be grateful for that, it should be us, the Leaford family. But what’s up with you emotionally blackmailing my cousin? If your son is really in need of a wife, then I would rather ” She flaunted herself, standing tall, “marry your son and repay this life-debt on behalf of my father.”

” ” Jeremy’s mother was so furious that she couldn’t utter a word.

Michael Gallagher, standing nearby, heard the entire conversation clearly.

His profound, inky eyes settled on Jeremy Norman. A smile that didn’t reach his eyes played on his lips, he asked jeeringly, “The one who saved him was you?”

A frown gradually distorted Jeremy’s face.

He hadn’t confessed to saving James Leaford personally, because he couldn’t find the original person in order to purchase their silence.

Today, many wealthy people from Capital City had come to watch the drama unfold. If he confessed to the truth, he might end up getting embarrassed.

After some contemplation, he made a firm decision.

“No.”

No?

James Leaford was startled, he asked dubiously, “But that was your car!, Mr. Norman! Even though I can’t interfere in my niece’s future, you really don’t need to deny the good you’ve done!”

“Yes, Jeremy, it was your car indeed! In fact, I saw you driving ” Jeremy’s mother was cut off by Jeremy before she could finish her sentence:

“I had just bought that second-hand car. It had only been transferred to me after the accident happened.” He moved towards James Leaford, bending slightly, “I’m extremely sorry, Mr. Leaford, but, I am not the person you’ve been looking for.”

The atmosphere hung heavy

James Leaford seemed to have received a heavy blow as he nearly collapsed on the spot.

Had he mistaken the person again? He had actually mistaken the person again!

Seeing this, Joshua Thompson sighed. He awkwardly touched his nose. Joshua thought to himself – this now turned out great; Jeremy was utterly ruined by him.

It was all due to that car!

James Leaford stood still, not muttering a single word for a long time.

Zoey Lambert glanced worriedly at her father. The search for the mysterious savior had become a trouble spot for her father. Initially, they thought they had found the right person, but they had made a terrible mistake.

“If you just bought the car, then where is the original owner?” James Leaford stared firmly at Jeremy Norman.

Jeremy smiled apologetically, speaking softly, “I’m sorry, but the original owner deliberately concealed their identity, and I wasn’t able to track them down.”

James Leaford’s face turned ashen.

Just as the atmosphere was strained, the Gallagher butler chimed in, “The one who saved him was our young master.”

Everyone turned their eyes to Michael Gallagher.

“What did you just say?” A surprised Joshua Thompson asked pointing at Michael Gallagher, “Are you saying the original owner of the Lamborghini was him?”

Are you kidding me?!

The person who saved my uncle was Michael Gallagher? This jerk?!

“Yes.” The Jenkins Butler nodded, “That car was Mr. Jenkins’ birthday gift to our young master. James Leaford from the Sunnydale Leaford family was in the passenger seat of that car. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him yourself.”

Watching the drama from a corner was Jake Leaford. Upon hearing this, his face darkened: please don’t cue me in!

If Elizabeth Aitken found out he hadn’t severed relations with his family, he would be kicked out!

On cue, his cell phone began to ring relentlessly in his pocket.

It was Elizabeth Aitken’s call, which he didn’t dare to ignore.

Bracing himself, he answered the call. On the other end of the phone, Elizabeth’s voice sounded extremely calm, “Where are you?”

” we’re at a company karaoke party, didn’t I tell you it was our team building event today ”

Elizabeth laughed coldly, “Oh, your company is indeed upscale with team building events at Jeremy’s residence.”

” ” Jake suddenly found himself covered in cold sweat, “how did you know?”

“Someone’s live streaming you right now, congratulations, you are famous!” Elizabeth Aitken hung up before Jake could reply.

Jake raised his eyes, finding more than a dozen people pointing their cellphones at him, laughing and taking pictures.

“Oh yes, that’s Jake Leaford.”

“Excuse me, Mr. Leaford, were you really in the passenger seat at the time of the accident?”

“Was the one who saved James Leaford truly Michael Gallagher?”

Seeing the persistent crowd, Jake despaired, this was the end!

He remembered what the person who invited him to this event said: “We didn’t invite any paparazzi this time, you can relax here.”

Indeed, they didn’t hire paparazzi, but these gossip-mongers could easily become paparazzi.

Hearing from the Jenkins’ Butler that Michael Gallagher was the one who had saved him, James Leaford was surprised but not overjoyed, he was afraid of misidentifying the person again.

“Was it you?” He asked, shaking.

Michael Gallagher looked at him, nodding slightly. He spoke softly, “I wanted to apologize to you personally back then for the issues my grandfather caused, but I ended up saving you unexpectedly.”

“Did you ever think of your own safety when you saved me in such a manner?”

Michael chuckled, then turned to look at Molly Walker standing beside him, “I didn’t think much back then, all I knew was if something happened to you, the people who cared about you would be devastated.”

There was another sentence that he didn’t say.

If something happened to James Leaford, Molly Walker would hold the Jenkins family responsible and would reject him even more. Just by thinking of this outcome, he instinctively saved James Leaford.

“If I had died like that, it could have been my redemption for all the wrong things I’ve done.”

If he had indeed died, she would remember him forever.

His eyes softened, a deep dark color like a whirlpool that hung beneath his gaze, his lips slightly curved up in a faint hint of a smile.
