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

Chapter 495: Chapter 490: Tian Dazhuang’s Daughter
Gillian Thompson’s face suddenly numbed, feeling both pain and numbness.

Not only did they know each other… they were quite familiar!

Gillian Thompson’s mind quickly flashed through Grace Harrison’s face.

Big eyes, bangs, standard figure, ordinary clothes, yet exuding sweetness everywhere.

Such a girl was the legendary pure and desirable beauty.

If Grace Harrison were from an ordinary family, it would be fine, but she was actually Carter Harrison’s daughter!

Why, why did every random person on the street have a better family background than her, while she had nothing and had become a cripple?!

Heaven was too unfair to her…

Gillian Thompson was both envious and resentful, her eyes faintly flashing with hatred.

“What’s wrong?” Madam Xiao noticed her condition and felt uneasy. This situation made it seem like she had a feud with the Harrison family, “You don’t have any issues with that Grace Harrison, do you?”

As the saying goes, “Old ginger is the spiciest,” and Madam Xiao immediately caught on to the clues.

Gillian Thompson quickly reacted, forcing a smile: “How could that be… Oh, right, Auntie, my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable. I want to go to the restroom.”

Madam Xiao glanced at the door, suspiciously saying: “We’re already at the door…”

Gillian Thompson’s eyelids twitched, thinking about the excuse to escape, when the door opened.

Grace Harrison and her parents walked out.

“You’re here, I was just about to have the children come to see you.”

Grace’s mother smiled and pulled her daughter over.

Facing Grace Harrison, Gillian Thompson stiffened, her expression absolutely ugly.

Unexpectedly, Gillian Thompson was here. Grace Harrison’s brow rarely furrowed into a “川” character.

Fearing that Grace Harrison would say something that would expose her, Gillian Thompson took the initiative to enthusiastically shake hands with her: “Hello Miss Harrison, I’ve heard so much about you. Nice to meet you for the first time. Please take care of me in the future.”

Seeing Gillian Thompson smiling brightly, Grace Harrison smiled and withdrew her hand without any courtesy.

“Oh my, you two are actually schoolmates.” Tian’s Mother laughed and continued to her daughter, “Molly Walker is the adopted daughter of the Thompson family, and also your Auntie Xiao’s future daughter-in-law. You two are schoolmates, and Molly is your senior sister. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask her; she has more experience than you.”

“Sister…” Grace Harrison muttered and sneered, “She just went to my school for further study; she shouldn’t be counted as my senior sister.”

These icy words were like a slap in the face to Gillian Thompson.

Further study, she indeed only went for further study. With her grades, she couldn’t get into that school.

But Grace Harrison’s words were filled with disdain and contempt, making it hard for Gillian Thompson to save face.

Madam Xiao noticed something was wrong and looked at her future daughter-in-law: “Didn’t you just say you were going to the restroom? You go first.”

Gillian Thompson pursed her lips and said nothing; her face was terrifyingly pale.

How could she dare to leave now? If Grace Harrison said something, it would be too late for her to salvage the situation.

“I… I’m fine now.”

Gillian Thompson stammered, making Madam Xiao’s face darken.

Just then, Grace Harrison wanted to say something more, but her mother held her back: “Why don’t we go in and talk first? My daughter usually has a good temper. I don’t know what’s gotten into her today, hehe…”

Although she was talking about her own child, her words were hinting at something.

Yes, she usually had a good temper; why was it different when she met Gillian Thompson?

Stopped by her mother, Grace Harrison held back her more vicious words.

She knew that times were different now. Everyone who came here today had status. If she offended someone because of a word or two, it would be difficult for her parents.

Gillian Thompson was extremely nervous, her eyes never leaving Grace Harrison’s face.

She was afraid, afraid that Grace Harrison would reveal that she had bullied her before.

If she had known that Carter Harrison was her father, if she had known this day would come, she would never have bullied Grace Harrison.

“Don’t just stand there, let’s go inside and talk.”

Tian’s mother and Madam Xiao both went inside, leaving Gillian Thompson and Grace Harrison behind.

Thinking of something, Gillian Thompson leaned into Grace Harrison’s ear and said, “I know you have a crush on my big brother.”

Grace Harrison stopped in her tracks.

“I can help set you two up. I know what type of woman my brother likes.” Gillian Thompson’s gaze swept over Grace Harrison’s face, and sure enough, she saw the expression she most wanted to see.

Grace Harrison really did like her older brother.

“I apologize for overstepping my bounds with you in the past, not knowing you were Carter Harrison’s daughter. I hope you don’t mind. After all, you’ll be my sister-in-law in the future, so it’s okay for a sister to forgive her little sister, right?”

Instead of responding directly, Grace Harrison’s lips curved up, “Tell me more about what type of woman your brother likes.”

Gillian Thompson gave a meaningful smile, “My brother, well… he doesn’t like women from wealthy families.”

Grace Harrison was taken aback.

“Do you know why my brother is still single?” Gillian Thompson played with her fingers leisurely, “It’s because he hates the idea of marrying for an alliance.”

Not liking wealthy families?

Grace Harrison had not expected Gillian Thompson’s brother to have such a strange preference.

But on second thought, it made sense.

For someone of his status, his marriage would have been arranged quickly, but he’s been single for so long, there must be some issues.

However, she never thought his issue would be not liking women from wealthy families.

“By the way, my brother also likes…” Gillian Thompson smirked, “Men.”

Grace Harrison: “…”

Gillian Thompson was satisfied with the embarrassment and shock on Grace Harrison’s face.

As for actually setting Grace Harrison up with her older brother, of course not. Gillian Thompson would rather see Grace Harrison and the Thompson family cut ties completely.

After all, Gillian Thompson’s past bullying of Grace Harrison was indeed a dark chapter. If Grace Harrison were to become one of the Thompson family, Gillian Thompson would lose everything.

Seeing Gillian Thompson’s satisfied smile, Grace Harrison did not refute it. Instead, she quietly pondered the meaning of the words inside.

Having spoken, Gillian Thompson entered the door first.

Grace Harrison stood silent at the entrance, lost in thought.

“Miss Harrison.”

A gentle voice brought her thoughts back to the present.

Grace Harrison looked to the side and saw Molly Walker in a red long gown.

Molly stood there, poised and elegant, the long skirt of her gown swaying around her ankles. She had piled her hair up on her head and worn a small diamond tiara.

The tiara was extremely delicate, layered like stacked clouds.

Molly’s features were already refined, and under the light, she looked like a painting from the Middle Ages as she leaned against the railing.

Grace Harrison admired her in astonishment for a while, before suddenly becoming flustered, “Sister Molly, what are you doing here?”

Molly pointed inside, “I saw an old acquaintance and was afraid you would be bullied.”

Hearing this, Grace Harrison felt a warm current running through her heart.

Last time, she might have been bullied to nothing had it not been for Molly.

“It’s alright, I won’t be bullied anymore.” Grace Harrison thought about her father’s status in the capital city, and held her chin high in pride.

“Oh?” Molly blinked curiously, “How so? Have you thought of a way to deal with her?”

Grace Harrison’s face turned red, and she shook her head in confusion, “No, I haven’t come up with anything. But I know what she’s afraid of.”

When it came to bullying, she couldn’t outdo Gillian Thompson, but in terms of family background, she had long surpassed Gillian.

She wouldn’t have dared say anything if Gillian Thompson were still with the Thompson family, but now, she was Carter Harrison’s daughter.
