Translator: 549690339

“I’m not certain, but now that we have a target, it’s Gabriel’s classmate from abroad, who will come tonight.” Damian Thompson said, with a grin in his eyes.

Nicholas Thompson excitedly grabbed his hand: “Brother, are you telling the truth?! Is Ivy really coming back?!”

Seeing their younger brothers excitement and choked voice, Damian’s eyes dampened as well.

Over the years, they had searched thousands of places and spent a fortune but were unable to find any trace of Ivy.

For over twenty years, they had prepared for the worst, never expecting to see Ivy alive again.

“Brother, look, 1 told you Gabriel is our lucky star. Not only did she heal us, but now she has also helped us find Ivy.” said Nicholas. as all his guilt toward

Molly Walker vanished. “When Ivy comes back, our family will be reunited.” Nicholas’ emotion affected Damian as well.

“Once Ivy returns, you can also find a girlfriend.” Damian’s teasing remark caused Nicholas to roll his eyes. “You should say that to Joshua.”

“Ever since the three of us privately agreed not to marry until we found Ivy, Joshua has been working hard to suppress the primal power within him, playing games among flowers. I guess once Ivy is found, he will be the first one to get married.” Mentioning Joshua, the ever-sunny Nicholas also softened,

Joshua was the youngest brother and the most pampered by them.

The thought of seeing Ivy tonight cheered up Nicholas a lot: “Dad and the others are still waiting for me. I should go and explain to them first.”

Just as Nicholas approached them, he noticed the awkward atmosphere.

Gillian Thompson had already changed her clothes and was sitting next to Daniel Thompson, making him laugh out loud.

When Gillian saw her brother coming, she glanced nervously both ways.

With a faint smile on her lips, Molly Walker locked eyes with Nicholas, causing him to hesitate in his steps.

“What took you so long?” Daniel Thompson asked with a serious look. “How did the surveillance check go?”

The scene suddenly fell silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Gillian clutched at her clothes, staring pitifully at Nicholas, her voice soft and broken. “Second brother…

Isabelle held her breath as well.

“l checked the surveillance footage,” said Nicholas, looking at Molly and pausing for a moment. “Gillian was correct; Miss Walker pushed her.” Gillian Thompson sighed with relief.

Daniel Thompson stared at Molly, his face falling cold and serious.

He never expected that a seemingly calm and righteous young girl could harbor such malice.

Nicholas, the one who spoke just now, felt a sudden pressure in his heart. He turned to Molly and asked, “Miss Walker, may I have a word with you?”

Molly sighed, shaking her head. She laughed alluringly, yet cold as ice, “No need. Since you’ve checked, there’s nothing I can say that would change the outcome, right?”

A chill spread from her fingertips to her heart; everyone in the room, along with the air, made her cells feel unbearably cold.

She never expected that even someone as seemingly just as Nicholas would blatantly favor Gillian.

“l thought you were different from the others, Mr. Thompson,” Molly’s laughter didn’t reach her eyes. “Perhaps others might tamper with surveillance footage, but I thought you wouldn’t, because you’re a lawyer.”

“But I forgot, you too are a lawyer.”

A lawyer can defend the victim, but also protect the perpetrator.

Nicholas’ pupils shattered abruptly.

He had prepared a significant compensation payment for a private settlement, but he never expected that Molly wouldn’t even give him a chance for that.

Her words seemed not to blame him, but each one implied that she was blaming him.

She was right; he is a lawyer. But here, he only wanted to be a protective older brother.

I’m sorry.

Nicholas lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering the light in them.

Molly picked up the box and stood up, her face tired, and her expression dim. She moved her gaze away and walked towards the door of the hallway.

Gillian stayed put, feeling guilty.

Looking at Molly’s retreating figure, Isabelle was once again amazed by Gillian’s influence.

Nicholas’ protection of Gillian was downright twisted.

While it was obviously Gillian’s fault, he blatantly lied to shield her.

Just as Molly was about to leave, Daniel Thompson spoke up, “Since Miss Walker pushed Gillian, she should apologize to her. Then we can let bygones be bygones.”

Daniel’s words made Nicholas’s face turn red.

Gillian also glanced guiltily at Nicholas.

She knew her second brother had already seen the surveillance footage and said those words earlier only to save her face. Her aims were achieved.

But now, with Daniel’s words, what if Molly went wild?

Gillian knew that Molly didn’t even give consideration to Michael Gallagher’s face.

“Dad, why don’t we forget it? You can see that I’m fine,” Gillian began to plead for mercy, looking at Molly as she spoke.

The latter turned around, her lips curved into a mocking smile.

However, Daniel Thompson ignored Gillian’s plea and looked at Nicholas,

“Since you checked the surveillance and confirmed that Miss Walker pushed Gillian, you should do as you said and send her to the Public Security Bureau.

Why aren’t you pursuing her now?”

His words made Nicholas feel awkward.

He wanted to defend his sister but couldn’t force Molly to confess.

Since he knew the truth, it was even more impossible for him to take extreme actions against Molly.

Seeing Molly standing there all alone, combined with his father’s sharp words, he started to feel sympathy for her.

In the video, she only wanted the box, and Gillian was clearly trying to make things difficult for her.

Now, it wasn’t just Gillian who was bullying her; the entire Thompson family was against her.

Nicholas suddenly found the card in his hand, which Damian had given him earlier, unbearably hot.

He looked at his father, wanting to say something but hesitated.

Seeing Nicholas like this, Gillian quickly tugged at her father’s arm and playfully said, “Dad, let it go. Ivy is coming later. Let’s spare her for today.”

“How could we let her go…” Daniel Thompson glanced at her meaningfully. “Since she did something wrong, she should apologize, right, Miss Walker?”

Upon meeting Daniel’s scrutinizing gaze, Molly chuckled. With a sarcastic smile, she replied, “You’re right, but did I really do something wrong?” She didn’t understand why Daniel stopped her.

Just now, she thought he didn’t seem as indifferent as people said. Was he flipping the script now?

Out of concern for Joshua, she didn’t want to think ill of the Thompson family.

She even endured everything that happened today for Joshua’s sake.

But that didn’t mean she was, in fact, a pushover.

When she questioned back, Daniel Thompson nodded, “Indeed, do you not know whether you pushed or not?”

“l didn’t push.” Reflexively, Molly blurted out, “Your son is lying.”

As she said these words, Daniel actually started laughing, ‘You’re right. Nicholas indeed lied..
