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

Chapter 589: Chapter 584 Key_1
 

Ethan Hopkins spilled everything, leaving no room for face-saving, in an effort to reduce his own guilt.

Realizing that all trust had turned to ash, Gillian Thompson crouched inside, crying her heart out.

She was wrong, so very wrong.

It was wrong from the start…

Gillian Thompson thought, if she hadn’t kept Molly Walker from entering at the beginning, if she had not stopped Joshua Thompson from showing the paternity test to everyone, perhaps this day would never have come.

Molly Walker was kind to everyone; if she had shown goodwill from the start, she would have been kind to her too, wouldn’t she?

After all, she was even nice to someone like Emma Smith.

Unfortunately, she no longer had the chance.

…

“Miss Walker, now that you have this key, why not go and have a look at this place?”

Suddenly, someone sent Molly Walker an address.

A key…

Molly Walker thought of Nicholas Thompson.

Nicholas Thompson had handed her a box, which contained a key, but since she had been busy sorting out the aftermath, she hadn’t had a chance to deal with it.

After a while, someone reminded her.

Following the address, Molly Walker arrived at an old house.

She took out the key, opened the door, and as the door swung open, she was greeted by various gift boxes, piled high throughout the entire room.

She walked up to a box, opened it…

Inside was a letter and a limited edition, vintage doll.

Then, she opened the second, the third box… until she finished opening the twenty-fifth box.

This year, she was twenty-five by nominal age.

That meant Nicholas Thompson had been preparing gifts for her since she was one year old.

Twenty-five gifts represented the years of concern Nicholas Thompson had for “Ivy Thompson.”

Perhaps, before Gillian Thompson’s leg incident, Nicholas Thompson had plans to cherish his sister dearly.

Nobody thought it would end up like this.

Thinking of Nicholas Thompson, covered in blood, the key suddenly felt scorching hot in her hand.

Her throat felt dry.

In the end, Molly Walker called a car and had all the gifts moved to her residence.

Seeing those gifts, Michael Gallagher didn’t say a word; he just held her tightly.

“Daniel Thompson’s kidney source has been found.”

“Before Nicholas Thompson got on the ambulance, he said his kidney was a match for Daniel Thompson.”

Molly Walker’s expression faltered.

The rest of the Thompson family had all been checked except Nicholas Thompson, who had always been left until last.

“However, he is still in the ICU and can’t undergo the surgery, so we found another kidney source from somewhere else.”

Michael Gallagher’s words gradually pulled her thoughts back to reality.

Nicholas Thompson was not dead but was hardly different from being dead.

Being in the ICU is like having lost half of one’s life, like having one foot in hell.

Fortunately, Nicholas Thompson was strong and had not given up on life.

“About Nicholas Thompson’s situation… thank you.”

When Nicholas Thompson was in trouble, Michael Gallagher had immediately asked his friend who was skilled in surgery for knife wounds to come quickly.

The doctor was highly skilled and after several days of effort, finally pulled Nicholas Thompson back from death’s door, and though he was still in the ICU, there was still hope.

“Don’t thank me,” Michael Gallagher lightly touched her nose, “what concerns you concerns me.”

“The doctor said there’s still a chance for Nicholas Thompson to wake up, but he needs a catalyst.”

A catalyst, what catalyst?

No one knew…

But now the ending never quite felt perfect.

Through the confessions and narrations of “Black Rose,” many secret cases related to Samuel Richardson were uncovered, and he couldn’t escape the death sentence.

As for Gillian Thompson…

Molly Walker’s lips curled into a cold sneer.

She was thankful to Ethan Hopkins for his intervention, which also had Gillian facing the death penalty.

Upon discovering her imminent death, Gillian caused a riot in prison but all she got was a brutal beating from the other inmates.

Unlike Isabelle, they always beat her to an inch of her life, leaving her in agony.

Molly knew death wasn’t the worst thing, but the anticipation of death, like sharpening a knife before cutting flesh, was truly terrifying.

Gillian screamed for Nicholas in prison, but her cries would soon turn into heart-wrenching sobs.

No one told her that Nicholas was still alive.

Whether Nicholas was dead or alive became a knife constantly twisting in Gillian’s heart.

The evidence Emma Smith provided was so compelling that it led to the capture of Ethan Hopkins, Phoebe Belmont, and Samuel Richardson in a single sweep.

Richardson Tower went directly into bankruptcy.

The companies that had turned to Richardson Tower for contracts were all a bit panicked; they had switched to Samuel’s embrace immediately after hearing about the troubles of Thompson Group, without realizing that it was the Richardson family that would end up in bankruptcy instead.

Soon, the news of the collaboration between Thompson Group and Stephen Crane spread far and wide.

Everyone knew that it wasn’t so much a collaboration with Stephen Crane, but more like he was giving Thompson Group a boost.

Shortly thereafter, the news of Li Family in Capital City being acquired by Thompson Group broke.

Since the Jenkins family’s downfall, the Leaford family was at the height of its influence and wouldn’t normally have been acquired by any company.

Yet, the Leaford family willingly allowed itself to be acquired by Thompson Group.

Some speculated that Thompson Group wasn’t just the richest in Sunnydale; at this rate, the Thompson family might become the richest in Orientopia by next year.

Those who initially turned to Richardson Tower were now shamelessly approaching the Thompson family for collaboration.

Thompson Group became highly prominent, and, in a short time, their stock price soared.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

On the day Gillian was sentenced to death, many people came to the Thompson residence.

“Ivy!” Lucy burst into excitement upon seeing Molly, “I have some good news to tell you.”

Molly smiled slightly at the sight of Lucy.

Although Lucy had done things in the past that Molly disapproved of, thankfully she had corrected her ways in time and hadn’t turned completely bad like Gillian.

“I think I saw Nicholas’s girlfriend.”

The words had hardly left Lucy’s mouth when Molly’s expression instantly stiffened.

“What did you say?”

Nicholas’s girlfriend was known to everyone as Catrina Rodgurez, but she had died months ago.

“I just saw her on my way here; she was going to the hospital where Nicholas is,” Lucy said. “Ivy, do you think Nicholas’s girlfriend might still be alive?”

Lucy wasn’t sure, but she felt she hadn’t been mistaken.

Aside from her relationship with Gillian, she had also been close to Catrina and knew what she looked like.

But she had only seen the side of her face at the time…

Though confused, Lucy couldn’t help hoping it was true.

Molly’s heart was pounding fiercely.

These days, Michael had been busy preparing for their wedding, and she hadn’t been too focused on it, considering the value of a human life wasn’t something you could just forget.

The rest of the Thompson family was looking forward to the wedding, saying it would be good to counteract the bad with joy.

But now, hearing Lucy’s words, a surge of excitement rushed through her.

Her nose tingled, and her eyes began to blur.

No. 6 had thoroughly investigated, and there were issues with the way Catrina’s body was recovered, but at the time, since she was Dion’s child and they wanted to avoid more impact, the case was hastily closed without family objections.

Yet, there was a hope in everyone’s heart.

Perhaps… Catrina was not dead after all.
