Chapter 308 - 307: Not Entering the Jenkins Family’s Door
“Miss Richardson, what exactly happened between you and Jerry? That scream just now, it was yours, wasn’t it?” Mr. Jenkins’ question instantly pushed Emma Smith into the spotlight.
Emma stood there, like a trembling leaf in the wind.
“Don’t worry, if you’ve been wronged here, speak up. I will make sure Jerry takes responsibility for you.”
Mr. Jenkins’ meaningful words made the atmosphere ambiguous.
Changing clothes, screaming, taking responsibility
Everyone was amazed; could it be true that something had happened between Emma Smith and Jerry Jenkins?
At this moment, the maid brought some clothes; she not only had men’s coats but also underwear
Seeing these clothes, everyone’s suspicions grew deeper.
Could Jerry, a fool, also be interested in that matter?
Molly saw that Mr. Jenkins, with just a few words, had led the truth in that direction, obviously trying to establish Emma’s “loss of innocence” as a fact.
She looked at Emma, who seemed to have been frightened by this situation.
Emma still hadn’t recovered from Samuel’s ruthlessness.
If this was allowed to continue, Emma’s reputation would be ruined.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Jenkins, I was the one who splashed water on Jerry.” Molly spoke up and shattered everyone’s imagination, “I saw him biting Emma’s hand and refusing to let go, so I had to splash water.”
The scream was from being bitten; changing clothes was because of being splashed with water. She explained the scene in just a few words.
Mr. Jenkins’ face darkened instantly. Unfortunately, Molly was the only one who had entered the room at that time, and none of the others, including reporters, had captured anything. What had really happened inside could only be left up to Molly to explain.
Mr. Jenkins knew that there must have been more to it than just that. Jerry had taken some medicine, if it hadn’t been for Molly rushing in, he would have already taken advantage of Emma by now.
“Is that so?” Mr. Jenkins squinted his eyes and warned Emma, “Did Jerry really bite you?”
“Could I have made it up when I saw it with my own eyes? Why else would I splash water all over Jerry Jenkins, right Mr. Jenkins?” Molly lifted her chin, her tone mocking and slightly aggressive.
Jerry was a fool, and it was not surprising that he bit people. It was reasonable for her to help Emma by splashing water.
She didn’t believe that Mr. Jenkins would dare to blatantly lie in front of so many people.
Mr. Jenkins took a deep breath, and the ferocity on his face gradually eased.
Since Ivy had perfectly explained it, it was impossible for him to continue to argue. He definitely couldn’t expose that Jerry had taken some medicine and that it was not as simple as biting someone, right?
“Jerry’s mind is not the same as normal people. Even if he bit Emma, you shouldn’t have splashed water on him.” No wonder Jerry was all wet; it was all because of this woman!
“What’s wrong with splashing water? Are you allowed to let your grandson bite people, but my sister isn’t allowed to splash water on people?” Joshua Thompson’s nonchalant voice rang out, “Don’t you know how to control your own foolish grandson, yet still think you have the right to let him bite people?”
“You ” Mr. Jenkins clutched his chest and banged his crutch on the ground fiercely. He said to Michael Gallagher, “This woman, I forbid you to marry her! I will never allow her to enter the door of our Jenkins family!”
Michael smiled faintly, his eyes dark and intense: “Okay.”
Okay?
So decisively? Hearing that, Joshua’s anger shot through the roof.
Is that the kind of person planning to remarry his sister?
Michael’s words made the atmosphere instantly become chilling.
They thought that Michael would definitely remarry Ivy. Not long ago, at Jeremy Norman’s birthday banquet, Michael’s appearance seemed to declare ownership.
But they did not expect that he would simply listen to Mr. Jenkins’ words. Mr. Jenkins said that Ivy was not allowed to enter the door of the Jenkins family, and he agreed without hesitation.
Could it be that he didn’t intend to remarry Ivy?
Michael’s response satisfied Mr. Jenkins very much.
If Ivy refused to let the child change his surname, then he could only change his granddaughter-in-law.
While Mr. Jenkins was relieved, Michael spoke again: “Not enter the Jenkins’ door, but enter the Gallagher’s door instead.”
Mr. Jenkins: ” ”
“I don’t care whose family I join, I’ll be wherever Molly is.” Michael Gallagher walked to Molly Walker’s side, reached out his hand to hold her fingers, interlocking them. With enigmatic waves in his indifferent eyes, he was like a deep and inscrutable sea, impossible to fathom and see through.
The arrogant yet languid tone made Molly slightly stunned. She moved her hand, only for it to be gripped tightly by Michael. Eventually, she gave in and let him lead her.
She looked at Mr. Jenkins’ angry and glaring appearance, lips curling up, and couldn’t help but chuckle at his reaction.
Serving him right for being so furious.
“Alright, alright! So, you would rather join the Gallagher family than the Jenkins one. Do you plan to infuriate me to death with your decision?” Mr. Jenkins leaned against the wall, shaking a little.
It was quite apparent that his grandson was with Ivy Thompson and didn’t even care about his family name.
From heaven to hell in an instant, Mr. Jenkins was so angry that his head was spinning. However, he had a clear realization that if he did not accept his granddaughter-in-law, his grandson wouldn’t acknowledge him either.
Before Mr. Jenkins fainted from anger, Samuel Richardson intervened: “Today is the Jenkins family dinner. Why don’t we all say less and sit down to discuss things calmly to avoid making a scene standing here?”
Samuel Richardson knew that his side wouldn’t gain any advantage today, and he might as well try to win over Ivy Thompson.
Since Ivy was so protective of Emma, it was ultimately a good thing.
Later on, if the Richardson family had a connection with W Organization, it would be easier for them to discuss collaborations with other companies.
Seeing Samuel Richardson’s change in attitude, Molly sneered and said to Emma Smith, “You were frightened today. If you’re not feeling well, you can rest at my place.”
Emma’s eyes reddened, and she hesitated to say anything.
Zoey Lambert came over and held Emma’s hand, “You are my cousin’s friend, which makes you our friend too. Don’t be shy with us. You can stay at our house for now. We have a family doctor who can take a look at the place where you were bitten by the man today, disinfect the wound and get a rabies vaccine ”
Zoey spoke with great seriousness, which made Emma unable to hold back a smile.
Thinking about Samuel Richardson’s actions, Emma felt somewhat disheartened. Seeing Zoey’s enthusiasm and remembering that Ivy was staying there too, she agreed after a few seconds of consideration.
Being able to live with her idol would alleviate some of her pain.
“Mr. Jenkins ” A soft voice rang out.
Scarlett Jackson, dressed in an exquisite evening dress, walked over with Olivia Sawyer.
“Last time you said you wanted to meet the leading lady of ‘The Mist,’ so I brought her here.” Scarlett Jackson glanced at Olivia Sawyer, who smiled and nodded at Mr. Jenkins.
“Mr. Jenkins, hello.”
Seeing Olivia Sawyer, Mr. Jenkins was quite excited.
He was fond of this detective film, and the female detective in it left a deep impression on him.
“Little Scarlett, you know me well. Every time you come here, you bring me a gift.” Seeing Scarlett so thoughtful, Mr. Jenkins was very pleased.
If only his granddaughter-in-law were this obedient.
He used to have a good impression of Ivy Thompson, but since she publicly announced that her child would not take the Jenkins name, his opinion of her plummeted.
He had been scolding the world his whole life, and everyone in Capital City respected him, calling him Mr. Jenkins. Yet, the employees of that organization were so arrogant, not even showing basic respect towards the elderly.
Combined with today’s events, Mr. Jenkins decided to replace Ivy Thompson as his future granddaughter-in-law.
“Little Scarlett, you mentioned last time you wanted to ask Michael for investment advice. Take this opportunity to ask him, and don’t let the others stand around waiting. Mr. Powell ” Mr. Jenkins instructed the housekeeper next to him, “Please have everyone go to the back garden for dinner and tell the chef to start serving the dishes.”
“Alright, everyone, please follow me.” Mr. Powell led the way, ushering the others downstairs.
As Michael Gallagher was about to go downstairs, a slender hand clung to his arm, “Zachary Jenkins, we haven’t finished talking about our last conversation. Shall we continue this time?”
Molly stopped in her tracks, her gaze fixed on Scarlett’s hand.
Michael raised a cold brow, quickly shaking off Scarlett’s hand and looked at Molly with a slight hint of panic in his eyes.
Scarlett was not annoyed and turned to Molly with an affable smile, “Miss Thompson, Michael and I are just discussing work. I assume you don’t mind, do you?”
Hearing this, Michael looked intently at Molly.
