Chapter 343 - 342: Nicholas Thompson’s Disappointment
Even if they stopped Nicholas’s credit card, the three brothers had other businesses under their names over the years. At least the income from the two law firms under Nicholas was quite considerable.
If Nicholas wanted to help Gillian, they could turn a blind eye, but if he helped too much, that would mean giving family money to outsiders.
“I only gave Gabriel a little living expenses and bought her a ticket back to our hometown.” Nicholas Thompson said calmly.
Molly Walker hooked the corner of her mouth slightly, Nicholas’s words only said halfway.
He still wanted to pave the way for Gillian.
Unfortunately, he ran into her, who was born to counter him.
“A little living expenses…” Molly Walker’s calm voice faded, and her lips smiled sarcastically, “then you must have given a lot of money, it can even let her study at Capital City University.”
Capital City University…
All the people looked at Nicholas Thompson.
Capital City University is not for everyone, either genius or rich.
Gillian Thompson actually went to Capital City University!
It’s impossible for her to be a genius, given Gillian’s current physical condition, she most likely spent a lot of money to get in.
“Nicholas, is what Fourth Sister said true?” Joshua Thompson raised his eyebrows lightly, languid, fascinating, “you even bought her a school? You’re really a good brother in Orientopia, huh.”
“Nicholas.” Amanda Leaford looked at Nicholas Thompson steadily, “Is what they said true? Did you really send her to Capital City University?”
Nicholas Thompson lowered his eyes, with a tight frown, his expression gloomy.
Seeing him like this, Amanda Leaford’s face was full of disappointment.
She knew her son well, and if Nicholas was like this, he must have hit a sore spot.
“She has done so many terrible things. We turned a blind eye when you helped her, but why did you sponsor her education?”
There was something Amanda Leaford didn’t say aloud.
With Gillian’s legs broken, even if she continues to study, she will be stopped at the door by various professions. It’s simply a waste of money.
Nicholas Thompson’s face was expressionless, his gaze shifted to Molly Walker, and he said sarcastically, “I know you’re a member of some organization and have great ability. Following us is easy for you, but you’re wrong. I didn’t sponsor Gabriel to go to university.”
“I don’t know where you got your information, but Gabriel did go back to her hometown. Ivy Thompson, your intelligence is wrong.”
Nicholas Thompson narrowed his eyes and decided not to admit it.
Gillian already enrolled in school, and now was not the time for problems to arise.
“Second brother.” Damian Thompson, who seldom expressed his opinion, said solemnly, “Gillian can no longer have anything to do with our family. You better cut off contact with her as soon as possible to avoid trouble in the future that affects our family.”
“Affect our family…” Nicholas Thompson sneered, “Gillian has become like this because you all forced her.”
“A few months ago, she was our good sister, but now you’re asking to cut ties with her. Was all those years of affection just an illusion? You can do it, but I can’t.”
Anger filled Nicholas Thompson’s face.
Ivy Thompson’s dislike for Gillian was one thing, but their brother and third brother used to spoil Gillian. However, they all sided with Ivy Thompson when she returned.
The more this happened, the more likely Gillian was to go astray.
“I took Gillian to see a psychologist, and she’s severely depressed. The root of the problem is in our affection for her. You all used to adore her, and then suddenly withdrew, causing her great harm.”
Thinking of the doctor’s words, disappointment filled Nicholas Thompson’s eyes, “I’d rather we never showed her any affection.”
From heaven to hell, and back to heaven, it was a test of one’s state of mind.
He didn’t believe that Ivy Thompson, a person who had been poor since childhood, would suddenly become the daughter of the richest man without any change in her state of mind.
Gillian was willful, but that was because they spoiled her. Ivy just had to step aside and talk nicely to get along with Gillian, but Ivy chose to provoke Gillian instead.
“I’ve said what I have to say. Also, in the future, I’ll give Gillian money to see a doctor.” Thinking of the doctor’s words, Nicholas Thompson felt a lingering fear, “the doctor said Gillian has a strong tendency to commit suicide. You guys don’t have to worry about her, I will.”
Suicidal tendencies?
Depression?
Hearing these words, Molly Walker laughed without saying a word.
A familiar episode.
“I remember Isabelle Richardson used to have depression.” She looked at Michael Gallagher, and he nodded.
“Isabelle Richardson did have depression, but her desire to survive was stronger than anyone’s.”
Everything Isabelle did afterward was to decriminalize herself and avoid the death penalty.
As for whether she really had depression, it’s hard to say.
For someone like Gillian Thompson who would do anything, it’s not impossible to pretend to be sick.
“With a woman like Gillian Thompson, she’s not much better than Isabelle Richardson.” Joshua Thompson looked lazily at his second brother, “are you sure that doctor isn’t her classmate?”
The color on Nicholas Thompson’s face grew darker and darker.
“Gabriel wouldn’t fake being sick.”
“You said she’s not at Capital City University.” Molly Walker brought the topic back, “let’s go to Capital City University and see if she’s really studying there or not.”
Just as Nicholas Thompson was about to speak, Amanda Leaford immediately echoed, “Let’s go have a look then. I can’t accept someone emotionally unstable living under our watch.”
Adopting Gillian Thompson was the most regrettable thing she had ever done.
Leaford family was also in Capital City. If Gillian Thompson used the reputation of the two families to do something, the consequences would be unbearable for them.
Hearing that they wanted to go to Capital City University to look for Gillian Thompson, Nicholas Thompson’s face stiffened for a moment.
The reason why everyone is so repelled by Gillian is because of their prejudice. If their family sees Gillian studying hard, they may change their minds.
Hearing the name Capital City University, Damian Thompson’s mind wandered, thinking of a fair-skinned, cute and playful face.
“Big brother, do you want to go?” Molly Walker noticed Damian Thompson was quiet and invited him proactively.
She remembered that Grace Harrison was also at Capital City University.
“Don’t bother him, he’s not interested in these things.” Joshua Thompson shrugged helplessly.
Damian Thompson rarely participated in these gossips and quietly did his own thing.
However, to Joshua Thompson’s surprise, Damian Thompson nodded exceptionally.
Joshua Thompson stared at Damian Thompson with wide eyes as if he was looking at a monster.
Damian Thompson slightly adjusted his glasses and smiled without saying a word.
Molly Walker smiled knowingly.
Just now, she received a message that Gillian Thompson was looking for trouble with Grace Harrison, along with Phoebe Belmont.
Since learning that Gillian Thompson was at Capital City University, she had been keeping a close eye on Gillian’s movements.
This Grace Harrison had helped their mother and might even become her sister-in-law in the future.
Since Nicholas Thompson was so sure that Gillian was a good person, let him see for himself what kind of good person Gillian was.
