The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce-Chapter 446 - 443: Lies About to be Exposed
Chapter 446: Chapter 443: Lies About to be Exposed
Mr. Crane also knew the real reason for her grandmother’s death.
Could Isabelle’s death be related to Mr. Crane?
Molly Walker didn’t dare to think deeper.
If it was Mr. Crane, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Mr. Crane being able to entrust everything he has worked for his entire life to her indicates that, in his heart, the importance of her grandmother has long surpassed everything else.
Thinking of this, Molly’s nervous heart gradually calmed down.
In the end, Mr. Crane just did what she didn’t dare to do, and the rest could only be left to time to verify.
Capital City Hotel.
Gillian Thompson was dressed exquisitely, wearing a floor-length gown that concealed her flawed legs.
People were coming and going in the hotel, casting curious glances at her.
Gillian leaned on a marble pillar, her body shaking uncontrollably.
Today she attended a class reunion, only to unexpectedly learn that Isabelle had died.
Her relationship with Isabelle was deep, and she hadn’t felt anything when Isabelle was in prison. The moment she learned of Isabelle’s death, she suddenly felt nauseous. freewebnoveℓ.com
She knew the reasons for Isabelle’s death.
“What’s wrong with you?” A gentle male voice sounded in her ear.
Gillian looked up and was immediately stunned: “Ethan Hopkins!”
Ethan Hopkins was her class president during college and the dream guy of all the girls in school.
Talented, polite, and with an excellent family background, he had almost no weaknesses.
“It’s you…” Ethan smiled gently, “Long time no see.”
Ethan’s eyes were filled with gentle laughter, his features handsome and his smile humble and soft.
Gillian steadied herself, straightening her back: “I was feeling a little unwell just now.”
“Well, the reunion banquet is about to start. I’ll take you there.”
As he said this, Ethan carefully held her in the air with his hand, preventing her from falling.
This small detail made Gillian blush.
Over the years, no man had ever cared for her like this apart from the Thompson brothers.
In the past, there were men who would go out of their way to please her, but ever since the identity explosion in the media, no male student had taken the initiative to approach her.
Ethan’s small gesture inflated Gillian’s self-confidence.
His actions proved that even with her broken legs, she was still charming.
When Gillian and Ethan appeared in the private room together, the room suddenly quieted down.
“Ethan Hopkins, how are you with her!” A tall girl with long curly hair in the room exclaimed, “She’s been expelled from the Thompson family, and now she’s being cursed by everyone on the street. Be careful, she might cling to you!”
Gillian’s face turned red from what she said.
Before, as Daniel Thompson’s daughter, she would be courted wherever she went, especially during college. She and all the other girls had ostracized Hazel Lewis who had become her enemy.
Seeing her in a sorry state, Hazel naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity to humiliate her.
“Although she was expelled from the Thompson family, she’s still our classmate.” Ethan didn’t seem to dislike her, but rather helped her.
A warm stream instantly flowed in Gillian’s heart, and she blurted out her other identity fearing that Ethan would look down on her: “Although I’m not with the Thompson family, my second brother has always cherished me. I know you guys look down on me now that I’m down and out, but I’ve never told you that I actually have another identity.”
“Another identity?” A bespectacled man laughed, “Stripping off your false identity, there’s still another one? A toad is still a toad even if it takes off its coat, haha …”
“Hahahahaha!”
The entire room burst into laughter.
“Really?” Gillian retorted without blushing, “Is the identity of an employee in the ‘W’ organization a toad?”
“W organization?” The bespectacled man adjusted his glasses, squinted his eyes, and recalled that the official “W” account had once defended Ivy Thompson.
Almost everyone now did not doubt the relationship between Ivy Thompson and ‘W’ organization.
“Didn’t you and your sister Ivy Thompson have a bad relationship? I heard that she openly told everyone that you’re not a Thompson. How come you’re close to her now?” The bespectacled man laughed, his face sarcastic, “Don’t tell me you two made up, I won’t believe it.”
If a wealthy family could make up after such a big incident, no one would believe it, not just him.
Gillian laughed and said confidently, “You guys must have guessed wrong. Although we don’t have a good relationship, we’re still family behind closed doors. Even if she doesn’t like me, my relationship with my second brother isn’t bad. It’s not hard for him to help me find a job in ‘W’ organization.”
“Don’t underestimate my leg’s condition. No one dares to bully me inside ‘W’. I’ve seen all kinds of talent, and others… Never mind, I won’t tell you the rest, lest I leak team secrets.” Gillian feigned mystery, leaving everyone in the room puzzled.
The people in the private room looked at each other. Although they didn’t quite believe it, they felt that what she said made sense.
The wealthy family had complicated relationships and tangled interests, and if Ivy Thompson had a position in “W”, it wouldn’t be difficult to arrange a job for Gillian.
No one thought that Gillian would have another identity after being expelled from the Thompson family, and the contempt towards her suddenly weakened a lot.
Gillian’s face was full of confidence, but she was actually very nervous in her heart.
She hasn’t joined the organization yet, and she’s only going to report tomorrow. Moreover, she’s just a janitor inside, but luckily no one here knows these inside stories. As long as she can deceive these people, it’s enough.
Gillian didn’t notice, but Ethan Hopkins beside her looked deeper and deeper into his eyes after hearing what she said. It was just not obvious, and no one noticed the changes in his eyes.
The meal had a subtle atmosphere, and it was awkward. After learning that Gillian was in the “W” organization, some people good at fawning began to approach her again, asking one question after another.
Gillian didn’t understand any of it and could only say a few nonsense things.
Just at this moment, the bespectacled man looked at his cell phone and said to Gillian, “My friend just happens to be doing something in this hotel. She’s also in the ‘W’ organization, and she just joined this month. I’ll have her come over and meet you. Maybe you two know each other.”
Gillian’s face stiffened. The people of “W” organization?
If it was before, she would definitely be willing to socialize, but she hasn’t joined the organization yet. What if she’s discovered?
Gillian’s panic didn’t show on her face, and she changed to a surprised expression within a moment. “Really? What’s her name? Actually, we might not recognize each other once we take off our masks at the headquarters.”
“Really? Wasn’t this rule abolished a while ago?” The bespectacled man asked in surprise, “The boss of ‘W’ has issued an order that this rule has been abolished. From the day before yesterday, we can talk face to face.”
Gillian’s embarrassment surfaced on her face upon hearing this.
She could feel that the bespectacled man was deliberately picking on her, but she wasn’t afraid.
After all, she’s going to join the organization sooner or later, and it’s normal if people in “W” don’t recognize each other.
“Ask her to come over.” Gillian smiled lightly, “By the way, what’s her name?”
“She is…you might know her.”
She knows her too?
Gillian frowned, feeling a faint sense of foreboding.
“Her name is Emma Smith.”
