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

Chapter 126: Chapter 126 She wants to tell Michael Gallagher that the baby is his.

Translator: 549690339

There were some things he didn’t want to believe, but once the thorns were planted deep in his heart, they would sting him from time to time.

Phoebe could also see his dilemma and suggested softly, “I think we can involve Gillian Thompson in this. We can tell the outside world that Gillian is taking over. If the higher-ups insist on seeing the person in charge, we can send Gillian, but we can still leave the decision-making power internally to Ivy Thompson.”

They all knew that Ivy Thompson’s reputation was ruined. If such a notorious person were to take charge, the government might not agree.

“What does the Gallagher family say?” asked Daniel Thompson.

“There hasn’t been much said on their end, but their main focus is on working with our company. It shouldn’t matter to them who is in charge on our side. Although Gillian is injured, she has grown up under our watch, and her abilities are evident. Also, with our help, Mr. Thompson, you can rest assured.”

Phoebe laid out the pros and cons clearly, offering a solution that everyone else thought was a good idea.

They didn’t mind Daniel promoting his child, but they couldn’t put someone with a bad reputation in charge, right?

Handing it over to Gillian wouldn’t have a significant impact on the Thompson family, as she was, after all, a member of the Thompson family as well.

Making compromises could maintain the balance.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Daniel Thompson let out a deep sigh.

“Let’s do it your way. You can also help with the preliminary work.” Phoebe nodded, and the other shareholders breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the big company wouldn’t be easily destroyed.

Stepping out of the company, Phoebe, in a good mood, made a phone call: “Notify them about the demolition site in East City District. Mr. Thompson has handed over the preliminary work to me, and there won’t be any changes, so rest assured.”

After hanging up, the smile on Phoebe’s face couldn’t be hidden.

All her relatives lived in the East City District. Better to benefit her own people than others.

She had also secretly bought many houses in the East City District. As long as the area was demolished, the money would go into her pocket.

As for Ivy…

Once power was transferred, Ivy would become a mere shell.

How could a recent college graduate compare to her, who had worked for many years?

At the entrance of the third hospital, as Elizabeth Aitken stepped onto the steps, her father sent her a message: It was rumored that the Thompson family decided to demolish the East City District.

Elizabeth closed the chat box after reading it, but her father was relentless. He kept pestering her even after she entered Molly Walker’s hospital room and even called her.

Elizabeth awkwardly hung up her cell phone.

Seeing her at a loss, Molly asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Elizabeth threw her phone aside and stammered, “It’s nothing, just some harassing calls.”

Molly looked at her with gentle eyes, her lips slightly pursed.

She had known Elizabeth for many years, and whenever she lied, her eyes would blink rapidly.

Combining this with the recent events involving her, Molly asked in a soft voice, “Is it about the house issue I asked you to change last time?”

Elizabeth’s face stiffened slightly.

“It was my recklessness at the time. I didn’t consider your difficulties. Don’t worry. I’ll keep my word. I won’t let you suffer any losses.” Molly reassured her with a smile.

If something really happened, she would buy Elizabeth’s house.

She could afford it, and most importantly, she didn’t want to put Elizabeth in a difficult position.

Once again, hearing the assurance, Elizabeth shook her head, touched. Molly wanted to help her because she treated her as a friend, so Elizabeth couldn’t kick her while she was down.

“My house is a small matter. I’m still young, I can make money. I’m just worried about you. They say the Thompson family has already announced that they’re changing the person in charge of this project to Gillian Thompson. Molly, is everything okay with you?”

As she heard the person in charge had been changed, Molly’s complexion turned slightly pale, but she quickly regained her composure.

She curled the corner of her lips, sneering.

She didn’t expect the project to be returned to Gillian Thompson after all the back and forth.

Seeing her face tense up, Elizabeth didn’t ask any more questions and shifted her concern to the baby in her womb: “Where’s my goddaughter? What did the doctor say?”

“How do you know it’s a daughter?”

“I guessed. I like daughters. I’m afraid sons will end up like their fathers, being jerks.” As she said this, Elizabeth glanced at Molly’s face again. “Molly, both

Harry Lambert and Jeremy Norman have come forward. What about Michael

Gallagher? What’s going on with him? He’s the real father of the kid!” Molly shook her head, whispering softly, “No, he doesn’t know.”

“You can’t just be indifferent! You were with him for three years, and he let you get hurt by those rumors?” Elizabeth Aitken said more and more angrily, “No, I have to teach this scumbag a lesson.”

Having said that, she got up and walked out. Molly Walker could not stop her.

Elizabeth Aitken was determined to make a scene at Michael Gallagher’s place.

Michael Gallagher was at the hospital, and if she made a scene there, it might cause trouble for Molly Walker. She thought about it for a moment and suddenly had an idea.

A few dozen minutes later, at the bottom of Gallagher Tower.

Elizabeth Aitken walked around with a sign saying “Michael Gallagher abandoned his responsibility. He’s a scumbag that even the gods hate!” and quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers.

She timed it just right so that when it was rush hour, she would announce to the public that the baby in Molly Walker’s belly was Michael Gallagher’s.

Why should another man take responsibility when Michael himself is the father?

She wanted to expose his true colors in front of his employees.

Deep in her heart, Elizabeth Aitken scolded Michael Gallagher

Just past six o’clock, Elizabeth Aitken saw more and more spectators and smiled.

She shouted, “Come on, look, come and see, there’s a blockbuster news here!”

She raised the sign, and with her loud voice, quickly drew a crowd. Some people who saw Michael Gallagher’s name didn’t dare to approach but didn’t leave either, watching from a distance. Everyone wanted to know what gossip would come out.

As Gallagher employees, they had recently heard a lot about Molly Walker’s situation.

They never expected that Molly Walker, an ordinary employee in the company, would turn out to be Michael Gallagher’s wife, let alone that Molly Walker was allegedly the woman who had gone missing from the Thompson family. Then another bombshell – Molly Walker had an affair and was pregnant!

This sequence of gossip didn’t scare them. Instead, it excited them even more.

Who would resist gossip?

Especially when it involves the company’s boss and his ex-wife.

As Elizabeth Aitken was just about to reveal the truth, a hand suddenly grabbed her. Angrily, she looked at the person, and when she saw it was Jake Leaford, her face went from white to black. She asked viciously, “What are you stopping me for?”

“Don’t make a fool of yourself. Get down from there,” Jake Leaford said as he pulled her down from the steps with a dark face.

Elizabeth Aitken angrily broke free: “Make a fool of myself? Embarrass you?

Jake Leaford, don’t meddle in others’ affairs, or I’ll curse you too.”

“Are you afraid I’ll tell the truth and embarrass your friend? Let me tell you, if he’s done something, he should think about the consequences.”

Elizabeth Aitken thought Jake Leaford was afraid she would reveal the truth about Molly Walker being pregnant with Michael Gallagher’s baby.

However, at this time, Jake Leaford just wanted her to shut up.

Michael Gallagher might still have some affection for Molly Walker, but he didn’t have much patience for other women. If she lost her job over this, it would be a small matter compared to being targeted and retaliated against by someone like Isabelle Richardson.

Elizabeth Aitken stood on the steps once more, and this time, Jake Leaford didn’t give her a chance. He walked up to her and picked her up horizontally in just a few moves.

Everything was spinning as a strange yet familiar male shower gel scent hit her nose. Elizabeth Aitken was stunned.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers were all shocked and opened their mouths wide.

“Am I seeing this right? Is that Jake Leaford?”

“What on earth is going on?”

“The gossip has exploded. We won’t be able to enjoy it anymore.”

“Who cares about gossip? We’ve had our fill of dog food.”

They had just realized that this girl and Jake Leaford were not ordinary acquaintances. The Leaford family was ranked fourth in Sunnydale and was said to be closing in on the Richardson family financially. But it was also said that the Leaford family was currently involved in a marriage alliance with the Lewis family.

Was the girl just now Miss Lewis?

Not far away, a truck was parked at the entrance of an alley. Aaron Howard got out of the car, ready to unload the goods when his coworker nudged him with his elbow, “Hey, isn’t that your wife? What is she doing with another man…”

Aaron Howard looked in the direction his coworker was pointing and saw Elizabeth Aitken blushing, pushing the man in front of her while also seeming to give in to the advances. It seemed like she was flirting just a little.

The teasing gaze and sympathetic eyes of his colleagues made him feel humiliated, as if they could see the green light on his head.

Aaron Howard’s face suddenly darkened. Angrily, he threw the cigarette in his hand and walked towards them..
