Translator: 549690339

Molly smiled at Scarlett Jackson, instantly feeling a surge of hostility from the woman.

Even though Scarlett kept mentioning it was for work, her actions just now seemed rather suggestive.

Meeting Michael’s expectant gaze, Molly raised her eyebrows and said softly, “Of course, I don’t mind.”

It wasn’t her place to mind.

Hearing that, the light in Michael’s eyes gradually faded.

Did she really not mind?

Watching Molly act laissez-faire, an agitation rose in Michael’s heart.

Scarlett happily told him, “In that case, let’s go to a room and chat. I’ve thought about the investment proposal you mentioned last time ”

“Miss Jackson,” Michael interrupted her, “I’m sorry, but I’m not in the mood to talk about work today.”

Having her words cut off, Scarlett’s smile wavered on her face as she glanced at Molly, her fingers tightening slightly.

Even having already been married and pregnant, this woman still looked so good, no wonder Zachary liked her.

Scarlett had to admit, Ivy Thompson had the charm to captivate people.

However, she wasn’t like other women; she could wait.

“Then let’s not talk about work. I have some information about Miss Thompson that might interest you.”

Michael’s lips tightened, his deep eyes unfathomable.

Molly had already walked downstairs, seemingly deliberately creating an opportunity for them to chat.

His ex-wife was really as understanding as ever.

Yet, this understanding was like a flame, igniting his heart.

Scarlett continued, “My father and Uncle Jenkins are good friends, and Uncle Jenkins once told me about your marriage, saying that your first wife wouldn’t last long ”

Upon hearing this, Michael’s pupils narrowed.

The Uncle Jenkins Scarlett was referring to was his grandfather’s son, his biological father, Edward Jenkins.

As far as he remembered, he had only met Edward once. Edward appeared shortly after Noah Jenkins’s accident, revealing Michael’s true heritage and claiming his father’s surname was Jenkins, not Gallagher. However, Michael didn’t believe him at the time and didn’t want to leave the Gallagher family.

When Edward later died, Michael didn’t even go to see him for the last time.

He had a good life with the Gallagher family. Even in the face of great difficulties, he couldn’t abandon the family. Not only would he take responsibility, he would lead the family on the right path.

Eventually, using his own strength, he took the Gallagher Group to new heights.

“My dad told me not to tell you about it, but since you’re considering remarriage, there’s something I need to let you know.”

“Ivy Thompson marrying you wasn’t a coincidence.”

After Molly went downstairs, her eyelids kept twitching.

“Michael and Scarlett are still talking. You’re just going to let them be? Aren’t you afraid something might happen?” Joshua Thompson glanced upstairs with a skeptical tone.

Scarlett didn’t seem like a good person at all, just now, she was practically attaching herself to Michael.

Why did Michael have so much romantic entanglement?

Joshua was annoyed.

“If something happens, it’ll happen sooner or later.”

Ever since the incident with Isabelle, she didn’t want to hold Michael too tightly. If a man really wanted to do something bad, no one could stop him.

If Michael did something with someone else, she wouldn’t have to worry about remarrying him.

Although she said that, Molly’s heart couldn’t help but race.

She always felt there was more to Scarlett than just seducing Michael.

Joshua found her obviously worried but pretending not to care amusing.

Was this what love looked like?

His dear sister

Joshua grabbed a cigarette and walked briskly to the balcony. At that moment, a girl approached.

“Joshua Thompson ” The girl was very thin, with heavy makeup. She was beautiful, but her makeup was a bit excessive.

Joshua raised his eyebrows. The girl seemed familiar, “What’s up?”

Riley Wallace took a deep breath and said the words she had been preparing for a long time, “Joshua ”

They had known each other for years, and she had liked him for just as long.

They got along like bickering partners, but she never dared to reveal her feelings for him.

A while ago, her family started pushing her to go on blind dates. She thought long and hard about it, ultimately deciding to confess her feelings to Joshua.

If she were rejected, she would give up and take her family’s advice to focus on blind dating after New Year.

If the confession were successful

Ha! She didn’t even dare to think about it

“I like you!” Riley closed her eyes and shouted at the top of her lungs.

The surrounding noise suddenly quieted down.

Joshua squinted his eyes, a playful grin on his lips, “You like me?”

He lifted her chin and teased, “What do you like about me?”

As he hooked her chin, Riley’s heart thumped wildly.

For years, Joshua always called her a chubby girl. In preparation for her confession, she deliberately lost weight.

She thought that after losing dozens of pounds so quickly and learning new makeup techniques, Joshua wouldn’t recognize her.

Being nervous, she didn’t dare reveal her true identity, thinking that even if she were rejected, they could still be friends.

Riley puffed out her small chest, “I liked you from the moment I first saw you.”

Joshua, “You can’t just like a guy based on his appearance.”

“I know ”

“You should also consider your own appearance.”

Riley was taken aback.

“Look at your figure, what’s the difference between you and a bag of bones?” Joshua gave her a sideways glance, clicking his tongue, “It would hurt my hand to touch you.”

“But didn’t you always like skinny girls?” Riley complained with a hint of a sob in her voice.

He criticized her for being chubby when she was fat. Now that she was thin, he called her a bag of bones. It seemed like he just didn’t like her.

When she was in school, Joshua said she was too obedient, so she turned into a tomboy, bickering with him every day.

When he called her a chubby girl, she lost weight.

And now, he said it hurt his hand to touch her

Riley felt wronged to the extreme, covering her face and bursting into tears.

She had given up, really given up.

Now not only had her confession failed, she couldn’t even be friends with him anymore.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have confessed in the first place.

It was so embarrassing.

Riley’s nose felt sore, and her tears poured out like broken beads.
