The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce-Chapter 534 - 529 Not Helping_1
Chapter 534: Chapter 529 Not Helping_1
Outside Ethan Hopkins’ hospital room, reporters were gathered.
After all, there weren’t many who could dare harm Molly Walker.
Let alone her relationship with “W”, but because of her identity as Ivy Thompson, there are few who dare to threaten her life in broad daylight.
But Ethan Hopkins did, and did it blatantly.
Watching these reporters squeeze into his room, Ethan Hopkins’ face turned ashen.
He had just driven away the ancestors who had come to visit him, how could these people be here again.
The reporters were also a bit surprised to see Ethan Hopkins all bruised up. If you look closely, you can see that not only was his hand broken, but his leg was also nearly wasted. As for his face, you can barely recognize him.
“Hahaha, young Mr. Hopkins, you really look like a pig’s head right now.”
“That’s no pig’s head, it looks more like a color palette.”
The reporters couldn’t help but burst into laughter on the spot.
Ethan Hopkins was so furious that his face turned from green to white.
“Get out, get out! I’m not taking any interviews!” Ethan Hopkins was at wit’s end.
Both his hands were in casts, watching these people approaching, he couldn’t even run away.
“Mr. Hopkins, who gave you the courage to raise your hand against Miss Walker? Is it your fiancée?”
“Everyone knows that your fiancée and Miss Walker don’t get along, you’re venting for her.”
“Make way, make way…” Xander Moore and Lily Turner tried to squeeze a path through the middle, “Don’t rush, don’t rush, if there is anything, wait till my son-in-law recovers, don’t rush…”
“Son-in-law?” Reporters turned to look at Xander Moore and Lily Turner, completely lost. “Who’s your son-in-law?”
“Of course it’s Ethan Hopkins!” Lily Turner straightened her back proudly, “his fiancée is my daughter!”
The loud voices suddenly quieted down.
Looking at these two people who seemed to have popped out of nowhere, Ethan Hopkins infuriatingly quivered his lips.
Looking at Xander Moore who had a similar face to Gillian Thompson, Ethan Hopkins felt a twitch between his brows.
Could it be that these two were Gillian’s biological parents?
Ethan grated his teeth as he looked them up and down, noticing that they were covered in counterfeit name brand goods from head to toe. They appeared like people who wanted to seem rich but were too cheap to spend the money.
“Ah, Ethan, let me introduce myself, I am your future mother-in-law, and he is…” Lily Turner was about to go on, but she was interrupted by Ethan Hopkins.
“Get out, I want to rest.”
He did not want to acknowledge them in front of the reporters.
Not only did he not want to acknowledge them now, but he also did not want to in the future!
Thinking of this, Ethan Hopkins loathed Gillian Thompson even more.
If it wasn’t for him wanting to secure the Thompson family, he wouldn’t have wanted anything to do with these people.
Just at that moment, one of the reporters gasped an astonished shout: “Oh my god, big news, big news!”
The reporter was a young man wearing sunglasses, who excitedly shook the news he had found and presented it to everyone: “Look, there are photos of Ethan Hopkins and another woman being quite affectionate, they must be a couple.”
“Who would have thought that young Master Hopkins, who loves his fiancée so deeply and fought for her, was actually seeing someone behind her back.”
“Young Master Hopkins who is dating two women at once, you’re really something!”
“How disgusting, dating two girls at once, it’s really disgusting.”
The reporters’ gazes towards Ethan were no longer curious, but full of contempt instead.
Hearing these words, Ethan Hopkins was stunned.
Photos, what photos?
…
Molly was sitting in her hospital bed, surrounded by a row of concerned people.
After the nurse finished her check-up, her face was red all the way to her neck.
Being watched by so many handsome men, it was good enough that she managed to finish her medication.
“Alright, Miss Walker, you’ve already had your scan, there are no other wounds, just some inflammation, but still, be mindful when you return home.”
The nurse quickly ran out after organizing the medication, blushing.
This was the first time she had seen so many handsome men at once. But Miss Walker was also very beautiful, looking like a fairy who does not live among the mortals, especially her eyes. They were mesmerizing and enchanting, which made it hard even for a fellow woman like her to resist, let alone these handsome men.
Once the nurse had left, she kept stealing glances towards the room.
Considering Molly Walker’s status, the nurse heaved a sigh of envy.
Some people were born in Rome.
Having brothers from the Thompson’s, a superstar like Harry Lambert, and other handsome men to protect her must be destiny. A destiny that she couldn’t possibly have, even in her next life, or the one after.
“Is there still pain anywhere?” Michael Gallagher, looking at the wound on her neck, showed a face full of concern.
The thought of Ethan Hopkins doing such a thing to her in front of everyone filled Michael Gallagher with the desire to kill him.
“I’m fine, it’s just a minor external injury.” Molly Walker looked at the men surrounding her, a little amused and helpless, “You should go back, I’m fine. Making such a fuss is too ostentatious.”
“You’re our big boss, what’s wrong with being ostentatious?” Harry Lambert glanced at Michael Gallagher with a gloomy tone.
He just handed her over to Michael Gallagher, and she ended up suffering such a considerable injury. What was Michael even doing?
Molly knew they were blaming Michael, and she smiled slightly: “It’s not Michael’s fault, it’s Ethan Hopkins who went crazy. Moreover, it’s for the best this way.”
In this way, her brother and Nicholas Thompson no longer have a reason to help Ethan Hopkins.
But she couldn’t say this outright as her brother and Nicholas were both present.
Nicholas Thompson was shocked at how many people cared for her.
These people, each of them complicated, yet they all respected her as their leader. They treated her with affection, like a sister, like a family.
He had imagined Molly controlling the “W” organization due to luck given her young age. He had never expected her to be genuinely capable.
No wonder she didn’t take him seriously.
Each of these people adored her, treated her like a family member, perhaps he, as her brother, was superfluous.
Nicholas didn’t understand why. If it were before, he would have rushed to see Gabriel. But now, he was somewhat resistant.
It was as if he had gradually withdrawn his feelings for Gabriel.
“Nicholas…”
Damian Thompson approached him: “I can’t help with the Hopkins family matter.”
This time, Damian Thompson didn’t use a suggestive tone.
Nicholas Thompson nodded.
Not to mention his elder brother, even he was starting to waver.
“Nicholas Thompson, you’re not going to continue the deal to swap kidney for Hopkins’ support, are you?” There was a deep, sinister tone in Joshua Thompson’s voice.
If it weren’t for his Elder Brother holding him back, he would have crippled Ethan Hopkins’s legs on the spot.
“Now that Ethan Hopkins has lost the use of his hands, disabling his legs would lead the Hopkins family and Ivy straight to a fight.”
Damian Thompson’s advice subdued Joshua Thompson’s simmering rage.
If the Hopkins family targeted him, he wouldn’t be afraid. But if they tried something sneaky with Ivy, he wouldn’t dare to gamble.
The hands of Ethan Hopkins were already crippled. Leaving his legs for his continued survival and torment didn’t seem like a bad option either.
“Ethan Hopkins harmed Fourth Sister, and I won’t turn a blind eye.” Nicholas Thompson looked down, speaking indifferently, “I won’t assist the Hopkins family anymore.”
“Heh…” Joshua Thompson scoffed, his beautiful face filled with disdain, “So you are just not helping the Hopkins family, huh? All of us hate Ethan Hopkins to the point that we want to kill him, and you’re just not going to help him? You know, Nicholas Thompson, you might as well stay out of the way then, so people don’t owe you any favor.”
Nicholas Thompson cast a glance at Molly Walker’s retreating figure, his voice hoarse: “Not helping is already the biggest punishment.”
He knew the importance of this time’s assistance to the Hopkins family. It was Gillian Thompson’s desperate request.
Now that he was refusing to help, the one who would be affected most wasn’t Ethan Hopkins, but Gillian Thompson.
