“Second Brother?” Gillian Thompson tentatively called out.

Ever since last time, aside from her second brother, everyone in the Thompson family wished she would disappear from this world.

Nicholas was disappointed in her, having arranged for her to drop out of school.

She silently watched as Nicholas reclaimed everything, without any ripple of emotion.

“Second brother, I’m sorry. I promise to start making my own money from now on, I won’t trouble you anymore.” Gillian’s face was as pale as death, offering a forced smile, “Don’t worry second brother, even if I don’t have legs, I still have my hands, I can support myself.”

At first, Nicholas thought it was a joke, but later he found out she seriously was looking for a job.

She found a job at an Internet Café, working at the front desk.

The first day, she was harassed by a customer.

The second day, the boss recognized her as the Thompson’s adopted daughter and began to insult her.

Unable to bear with it, he yanked her from there.

It wasn’t until Molly Walker announced on the group chat about a family meeting, and then Joshua called him to go, that he thought about it and finally decided to take Gillian with him.

After observing her for several days, he noted that Gillian had improved.

Everyone makes mistakes, but as long as one acknowledges them and is willing to repent, they can always start anew.

“As long as you truly realize your mistakes, your uncle and others won’t fault you.” A thought came to Nicholas’ mind, “Ivy Thompson is hot-tempered and has always been unfriendly towards you. If she loses her temper at you, try to compromise with her.”

Considering the affection the Leaford family had for Ivy, Nicholas frowned.

Ivy is clever, charming her uncle’s family and her mother and brothers.

Gillian is no match for her and can only compromise.

However, Gillian felt uncomfortable when hearing this.

She could remember when Molly first returned to the Thompson family, everyone asked Molly to accommodate her, and now the situation was reversed.

“Brother, don’t worry. I won’t argue with her anymore. No matter what she says, I will pretend not to hear it. Don’t worry, brother, I have changed. I won’t fight or compete with her… I don’t want anything anymore.”

Gillian spoke pitifully, causing a sourness to grip Nicholas’ heart.

This was his little sister that he personally picked from the orphanage years ago, hoping to protect her for a lifetime. He never thought it would escalate to this extent.

He had envisioned countless times that their harmony would be restored after the lost little sister was returned, and how the family would be happy together, which was unlike the fragmentation that was occurring now.

“As long as you think this way, it’s good. Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer anymore. You have been my sister for many years, and you should have a share of Thompson family’s shares too.” Thinking of the hardship Gillian went through in the Internet Café, Nicholas frowned and impulsively made a promise.

He made the decision.

If his father didn’t give Gillian the shares, he would give her his.

Hearing his words, Gillian’s eyes welled up, “Thank you, second brother.”

“By the way, I heard…” Gillian’s voice faltered, “Molly has become Stephen Crane’s heiress, she will inherit all of Stephen Crane’s tens of billions of dollars of wealth.”

“Four Sister is so lucky, even though she was lost for so many years, she’s living a better life than any of us. Sometimes, I even think… if only I could exchange places with her. If I could have her kind of luck, not just me, I think everyone would be willing to get lost too.” Gillian said enviously, her hand tightly clenched.

When she learned that Molly was Stephen Crane’s heir, she smashed things all night.

She didn’t understand how someone who was raised by a trash-collecting old woman could be this lucky.

If she could, she would really like to exchange places with Molly.

Hearing this, Nicholas was genuinely astonished.

Ivy had become Stephen Crane’s heir.

So much money, and he gave it all to Ivy?

“Where did you hear this from?” Nicholas frowned visibly, looking skeptical, “What kind of person is Stephen Crane, why would he give all his property to her?”

It was already astonishing enough to have “W” organization protecting her, and now there is Stephen Crane as well.

Could it be that this sister of his was anointed by heaven?

Such a smooth storyline, even a TV series wouldn’t dare to script it like this.

“Phoebe Belmont told me,” Gillian tried to suppress the jealousy in her heart, “She saw Stephen Crane go to Leaford house with her own eyes. Later, Stephen Crane’s assistant told her that he had given all his property to Molly.”

Nicholas’ gaze darkened, thinking about something, he lifted his lips, “You may not necessarily live worse than her in the future.”

“Really…” Gillian looked down at her prosthetic leg, “Second brother, please stop comforting me. With a leg like mine, I’m definitely not going to have a good life in the future.”

Nicholas fell silent, not knowing how to comfort her.

She was right. Even if she had a prosthetic leg that looked no different from ordinary people, the fake one would never be the same as a real leg. If he was in her position, he probably couldn’t walk out of his predicament either.

Gillian should have gone to the highest institution in Capital City to pursue dance, to continue doing what she loved.

She could have been a dancer, or even a corporate manager, but not spending the rest of her life with a fake leg.

It was all destroyed a few months ago.

The atmosphere in the car was heavy, and until they reached the front door of the Leaford residence, neither of them said another word.

Just as they got out of the car, they saw Joshua Thompson coolly blocking their way.

“Second brother, go in. This woman is not allowed in.”

Gillian had just gotten out of the car, hadn’t even steadied herself, and Joshua blocked her completely.

Nicholas spoke calmly, “This is a family gathering, she’s also a member of the Thompson family.”

“She’s only your family, not ours.” Joshua crossed his arms, his face adorned with a playful smile full of disdain, “Today is Fourth Sister’s arrangement. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been able to come today. And you brought an additional nuisance. Are you trying to annoy us?”

“Gillian knows that she was wrong.” Nicholas’ voice dropped a few degrees, “Everyone makes mistakes, Gillian has been our sister for so many years. Considering the time she has been with us, give her another chance.”

“Want a chance huh? Alright!” Joshua smirked, “I won’t mind forgiving her.”

“I want her to do something and if she does it, I’ll forgive her and even give her my shares.”

Gillian looked up, meeting Joshua’s sneering face and insightful eyes, then hurriedly looked down again.

“Do what?” Nicholas felt a bad premonition.

“She can do it right now.” Joshua swung open the car door, pointed at the seat and smirked at Gillian, “Sit down.”

Gillian stayed quiet. She instinctively looked at Nicholas and seeing his lack of expression, bit her lip and sat down.

Joshua lifted his hand, shutting the car door.

Gillian, sitting in the car, nervously swallowed.

She didn’t know what Joshua wanted her to do.

But as soon as she heard that doing this would make Joshua forgive her and even give her his shares, she suddenly wanted to try.
