The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce

Chapter 524: Chapter 519: Baby, you really don’t blame me anymore?_1
 

A wave of wild joy surged in his heart, and Daniel’s eyes turned red. He was on the verge of shedding tears.

“Child, you…you…you really don’t blame me anymore?”

All of this was already out of Gillian’s control.

No, maybe she never had control…

This Ivy, she never played by the rules.

It was clear that she and Daniel were at odds and would never reconcile, but suddenly…

“Ivy, are you really planning to change your last name?” Gillian gritted her teeth, hitting the nail on the head.

She refused to believe that Ivy was really willing to change her last name.

However, what she didn’t expect was that the next sentence from Daniel dashed all of her hopes.

“Whether or not she changes her last name isn’t important.” Daniel waved his hand, grinning broadly, “As long as my daughter is happy, the last name doesn’t matter.”

The moment Ivy said “Okay” just now, all his worries were laid to rest.

He already had three sons and didn’t need to worry about inheritance. Even if Ivy didn’t want to keep the Thompson last name, he didn’t mind.

As long as Ivy was willing to call him “Daddy,” he was willing to accommodate her in everything.

Daniel’s words were like nails, hammering into Gillian’s heart, creating bloody holes, and causing severe pain.

He didn’t even care about the name change…

Indeed, blood is thicker than water…

No matter how hard she tried, she could never reach the bottom of Daniel’s heart, nor she could behave as she pleased like Ivy.

The last name she prided herself on was something Ivy didn’t want.

And yet, Daniel didn’t care…

Gillian’s face gradually turned pale.

Seeing Daniel so happy, Ivy raised an eyebrow.

She initially just wanted to see Gillian’s reaction. She hadn’t really planned to forgive him, but she didn’t expect that Daniel would go as far as to compromise on the matter of the last name.

Her bright eyes landed on Gillian. Gillian’s reaction didn’t escape her gaze.

If that’s the case, she didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire…

“I can forgive him, but I have a condition.” Ivy’s lips curled into a somewhat evil smile, “I want all the shares you have.”

Wasn’t Daniel going to give the shares to Gillian?

Then she would take them all back.

She could also use Gillian’s appeasement policy.

“All the shares?” Daniel pondered for a few seconds, then turned to look at Gillian.

He had initially agreed to give the shares to Gillian. Fortunately, nothing has been confirmed yet.

Gillian went numb all over when she met Daniel’s remorseful eyes.

She already knew the result!

Daniel would definitely give the shares to Ivy.

Perhaps Daniel had feelings for her, but these feelings were nothing compared to Ivy’s forgiveness.

Indeed, the next second, Daniel said to Ivy, “If you want the shares, I’ll give them all to you, you’re entitled to them.”

Gillian dropped her head, her face flushed hot and her nose tingled.

Everything was Ivy’s right, then what about hers?

“Gillian, I’m sorry. Since your sister wants the shares, I can only give them all to her. Later, I will make up for it with other things…”

“Other things, what other things?” Gillian suddenly raised her head, couldn’t help but sob, tears pouring down her face, “Daddy, you’re no longer the one in charge of the Thompson Group, what can you give me? Are you going to give me your fatherly love?”

Ethan Hopkins wanted to stop Gillian, but it was too late.

Daniel Thompson’s face suddenly turned ugly.

“What do you mean by ‘giving you father’s love’? Could it really be like Ivy said, that you came to take care of me just to put on a show?”

Gillian Thompson’s breath hitched, she opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything for a long time.

“Didn’t you say that you don’t care about these things and just want to be by my side to fulfill your filial duties?” Daniel Thompson leaned back, his face was calm, and his narrowed eyes exuded authority. “If you really want to be filial, you should not want anything else. Looking at you now, I don’t think you’re sincere. You should go back and never visit me again, I can’t stand it.”

At the bottom of Gillian Thompson’s heart, there was a “thud” sound, knowing that he was now angry.

Just now, she couldn’t help but speak out her inner thoughts, which greatly irritated Daniel Thompson.

Ethan Hopkins stood to one side, looking extremely cross.

This was not the first time.

This Gillian Thompson was too foolish for words.

At such a time, there was no point in competing with Ivy Thompson. It would have been better to take what she could get.

She could have established a closer parent-child relationship this time, but was provoked by Ivy to lose her bearings. Such a woman can never be the lady of the Hopkins household.

“Gabriel, you should promptly apologize to Uncle. Don’t forget why you came here today.” Ethan’s reminder awakened Gillian like a bucket of cold water.

She looked at Ethan Hopkins, shocked.

Last time at the Harrison’s, she had caused trouble because she couldn’t control her mouth. If she messed things up again this time, Ethan might not be so fond of her anymore.

“I’m sorry, Daddy. I shouldn’t have acted so rash. I shouldn’t have gotten annoyed with my sister.” Gillian Thompson lowered her head, appearing very sincere. “It’s just that I care too much about you, Daddy.”

“The shares are yours, Daddy. You have the right to decide what to do with them. But taking care of you is our agreement, and Ethan and I will stay here until you are discharged from the hospital.”

Following that, no matter what Daniel Thompson said, Gillian refused to leave.

However, Daniel Thompson’s gaze remained on Molly Walker, looking rather pleased.

Seeing him like this, Molly Walker blinked and decided not to add fuel to the fire.

She would rather hold onto the shares than hand them over to Gillian.

Keeping quiet for now was not a big deal.

Besides, technically speaking, Daniel Thompson was her father. Just putting up a facade, she didn’t mind playing along.

When Molly Walker left, Ethan Hopkins was also just stepping out.

By noon, Gillian wanted to have lunch and sent Ethan out to buy it.

“Ethan Hopkins, can we talk?”

Ethan saw Molly standing by the door with her arms folded, looking at him coldly. He felt a chill crawling over his skin.

“Miss Walker…” Ethan offered a gentle smile. “What do you want to say to me?”

This was the first time he was alone with Molly Walker.

Every time before, Gillian was always there, watching Gillian and Molly at odds, he could only feel frustrated.

In his view, Gillian was no match for Molly. Every time Gillian confronted Molly, she ended up the loser.

The manager of W, Molly Walker, was not a simple character.

Upon hearing Molly call him, he instantly became fully alert.

Molly seeing him turning pale, laughed inwardly.

This man, although warm and kindly on the surface, wasn’t very good at hiding his real intentions. Just like a lame fox, always looking to reveal his true nature.

If it wasn’t for his reminder just now, Gillian would have made another mistake.

Given Daniel Thompson’s character, he probably wouldn’t have let Gillian stay to take care of him.

Yet, Gillian was salvaged by Ethan after all.

This man’s ambition was greater than she had thought.

Molly Walker, with her radiant and scorching smile, said in a voice as cool as a spring hitting a stone, but with a hint of mockery, “Ethan Hopkins, what kind of deal do you have with Samuel Richardson?”
