Chapter 518: Chapter 513: Nicholas Thompson, Give Up_1
“Fourth Sister sent me a message,” Nicholas Thompson lowered his eyes, his lashes trembling subtly.
Molly Walker said there was an urgent matter and asked him to come to the Thompson family’s estate tonight.
An urgent matter. Molly’s recent urgencies probably had something to do with Gillian Thompson.
“Fourth Sister… the one who just recognized you as a brother, and who doesn’t get along with you?” Nicholas’s friend asked with a surprised expression, “Are you going?
Nicholas fell silent.
The gift he had sent her ended up in the trash bin. He had anticipated this, but it still hurt.
He had carefully chosen the gift.
He knew that he could never make up for what he had done, but he thought he could at least be less of an annoyance to her.
“Your Fourth Sister never liked you anyway. If she says it’s urgent all of a sudden, it’s probably not good news.”
Nicholas poured himself a drink and downed it in one gulp.
“Since you don’t want to go, why not continue to have a few drinks with us? After all, you’ve donated your kidney. We may not always have the chance to drink. Come on, let’s have another one…”
Amidst the clinking of glasses, there was a cheerful atmosphere.
…
In the hotel, Gillian Thompson lay next to Ethan Hopkins, her cheeks flushed, presenting a bashful look after an intimate moment.
Though she was pregnant, her needs in that department remained the same.
“I ran into your sister today,” Ethan sat up and said, his voice hoarse and melancholic, with a cigarette hanging off his mouth.
Gillian quickly sat up, anxiously asking, “Didn’t she do anything to you?”
Molly had always disliked them. If she encountered Ethan alone, she would most likely have harsh words for him.
“She didn’t say much, only that we wouldn’t last long and that she has a backup plan to make us break up,” Ethan sighed, “Gabriel, apparently there are all kinds of talented people in the ‘W’ organization. I guess her next move will be trying to sow discord between us.”
To prevent their secret from being exposed, Ethan decided to take the initiative.
If Gillian truly believes that Molly would try to stir up trouble between them, then nothing Molly says would affect Gillian.
Although Ethan hadn’t spent much time with Gillian, he knew her well. She was an affectionate person who believed anything he said.
Gillian hugged Ethan tightly and said, “Ethan, don’t worry. I won’t believe any of her provocations. As long as we love each other, no matter what she does, we will not separate.”
“Really?” Ethan’s eyes lit up, his face full of emotion, “Gabriel, I am so lucky to be with you. You are my lucky star.”
Gillian, her face flushed, threw herself into Ethan’s arms.
At that moment, Ethan’s cell phone vibrated a few times. Seeing the message on the screen, Ethan sat up straight, his face darkening.
“What’s wrong?”
As Gillian curiously peered at his phone screen, Ethan put his phone down and rubbed his eyebrows, saying, “Ivy Thompson went to see your second brother. Gabriel, there is something I might need to discuss with you.”
“Today, a girl who I went to high school with asked me to help her find a job. She’s hypoglycemic and fell. I helped her up just as Ivy saw us. I’m guessing she might have misunderstood.”
“Your second brother was at the bar drinking today. One of the guys drinking with him, who happens to know me, warned me about something. I think your sister is planning to cause trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Gillian’s face changed slightly.
Daniel Thompson fell ill, and only when Nicholas used his kidney as a bargaining chip, did the Thompson family agree to help the Hopkins family. If their plan was disrupted by Molly, everything would return to square one.
Now, she had to consider not only herself but also the baby in her belly.
She could bear the hardship, but the baby couldn’t.
If problems arose with the project, her marriage into the Hopkins family would be indefinitely postponed.
“This Molly, I think she’s just jealous that I have a baby and doesn’t want me to be happy.” Gillian said angrily, “No, I must call my second brother.”
Gillian promptly took out her phone and dialed Nicholas’s number.
She needed to inoculate Nicholas against Molly and preempt her, urging him not to listen to Molly’s one-sided accusations.
…
At the Thompson family’s estate, a car slowly drove in. The security guard opened the gate and greeted them respectfully.
After driving for quite a while, they finally arrived at the Thompson family’s estate.
The Thompson family’s estate covered more than fifty acres, just the interior of the mansion was over forty thousand square feet.
The Thompson family’s estate was near a mountain and a river. The news reported that the Feng Shui here was the best in Sunnydale City. No matter how much money was offered, the elder generation of the Thompson family never sold it.
The car drove a considerable distance before finally stopping at the gate of the villa.
In the late winter and early spring, the air was bitterly cold.
Molly, wrapped in a long cotton jacket, stepped out of the car.
The servants of the Thompson family bowed their heads, with their eyes sneaking glances at her.
She was beautiful, delicate, and had a unique aura.
Gillian Thompson had cultivated her socialite demeanor for many years, but this woman, who had been drifting about outside for many years, without any artistic cultivation, had it effortlessly.
This time, when Ivy returned to the Thompson family, she returned not only as the fourth daughter of the Thompson family but also with the backing of the ‘W’ organization.
Her identity was no longer just a child brought up by an old woman who gathered trash, but also the heir of Stephen Crane.
Although it was rumored to be a false story, many bloggers analyzed and investigated, guessing that it might not be a false story, but the truth, only hidden to protect Molly’s identity.
But as more people dug into it, another identity of hers came to light.
It was rumored that she was the manager of the ‘W’ organization.
Although there was no confirmation from Molly herself, the rumor had already spread.
The servants of the Thompson family were curious and sneaked glances at Molly after she entered the villa.
At this time, Nicholas had already arrived home.
Only Damian Thompson was home.
Seeing Molly, Damian exclaimeding in surprise, “Why are you here?”
“I need to discuss something with Nicholas here,” Molly smiled, “Since brother is here, why don’t you listen too?”
“No need, brother is busy. Since you came for me, you might as well just talk to me,” Nicholas’s tone was monotonous, “There are some things we can talk about ourselves.”
Damian saw Nicholas’ attitude indicating he wanted to keep him out, and looked at Molly.
Molly smiled lightly.
It seemed that Nicholas knew why she was here.
“In that case, go on with your business, brother. After I finish talking with him about this, I will find some time to chat with you,” she said.
She had hoped for something from Nicholas today, but seeing his attitude, it was clear he wanted to pacify the situation.
She was surprised to see Nicholas protect Gillian so much.
Unfortunately, this time, Gillian would disappoint him.
Damian glanced at her and then at Nicholas. After thinking for a moment, he finally just sighed and slowly walked out.
He could only hope that the relationship between Nicholas and their sister would not continue to deteriorate.
Molly sat on the sofa, crossing her legs, smiling attractively, “Nicholas, drop this project, stop urging brother to help Ethan Hopkins. Just give up.”
