Chapter 210: Daniel Thompson’s Relief
The reason was soon uncovered.
Seeing the message Harry Lambert sent her, Molly Walker sneered.
It was Gillian Thompson’s doing again.
Gillian Thompson took charge, with Violet Summers mediating, and those contract-breaking companies were all persuaded by Violet Summers one by one. Apparently, the power of the ‘W’ organization was used.
“These companies received the message that someone in the Thompson family had offended the ‘W’ organization, and with Violet Summers’s testimony, they soon gave up on cooperating.”
Although it had no significant impact on the Thompson Group itself, so many companies suddenly stopped cooperating, causing the other uninformed partners to be scared.
Someone in the Thompson family had offended this organization. Who had offended it? She was afraid the responsibility would fall on her head again
“This Gillian Thompson is still up to no good.”
Gillian Thompson was trying to sacrifice her, and even the entire company, for personal grudges.
This incident was neither too big nor too small. No matter how powerful the Thompson family was, they could not compete with the well-known “W” organization in the country, let alone the world.
One was in the light, and the other in the dark. No one dared to offend this organization openly.
The essence of cooperation between companies is interest. No one would damage their own interests for the sake of a one-time collaboration.
“Your brother’s taking charge of this project, and if there’s trouble, I’m afraid it will also affect him.”
Molly Walker’s long eyelashes trembled slightly.
“Give me the list of those companies and the contact information of their bosses.”
Starting with the first one, Molly Walker made personal phone calls.
At first, these company bosses were unwilling to believe her, but after Molly repeatedly assured them, she gradually dispelled their concerns.
For each phone call she made, Harry Lambert sent an email to these bosses on behalf of the organization, stating that the previous information from the organization was a rumor.
Within two days, all the information was communicated in place.
These people had initially only half-believed Molly’s words, but after receiving calls from the ‘W’ organization, they finally felt relieved.
Soon, these companies resumed their collaboration with the Thompson Group.
Hearing about this, Daniel Thompson couldn’t help but smile.
Phoebe Belmont quickly brought Gillian Thompson over.
The meeting was in progress, and Gillian Thompson, sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed into the conference room.
All the senior executives of the Thompson Group were in there—Damian Thompson, Joshua Thompson, and Nicholas Thompson were also present.
Seeing Gillian Thompson, Joshua Thompson’s face suddenly fell, and he asked bluntly, “Why did you bring her?”
This was a company-wide meeting, and Gillian Thompson, an “outsider,” should not have been eligible to participate.
Gillian’s heart leaped. When Phoebe Belmont called someone to pick her up, she only mentioned a surprise for her and didn’t say anything else.
Looking at the current situation, there was no surprise, only shocks.
Daniel Thompson walked over to Gillian Thompson and said to the crowd, “As you all should know, the company recently faced a crisis—many companies, especially those closely cooperating with the Gallagher Group, withdrew from the collaboration one after another. This time, we owe it to Gabriel and her friend.”
“As you all know, Gillian is good friends with the team leader of this organization. Her friend helped us out of their respect for Gillian. Gillian, come ”
He personally pushed Gillian Thompson’s wheelchair in front of Damian Thompson.
“Damian, you should sincerely thank your sister. Without her, you would have been finished.”
Hearing this, Gillian Thompson was a little stunned.
She had just talked to Violet Summers the previous night, who said that it would take at least three days to notify everyone. How was it resolved overnight?
The efficiency of this organization was truly impressive!
Gillian didn’t suspect anything, covering her mouth with a smile, “I’m happy to help my brother.”
Now that Damian was taking over the project, her help for the company was indirectly a help to Damian.
She stole a glance at Damian and noticed him smiling at her, warming her heart instantly.
Indeed, she had made the right move this time.
She was determined to regain her brothers’ affection and her status within the family.
She wanted to show Daniel Thompson and the others that finding their long-lost sister, Ivy, was useless, and only someone like her with connections could help save the company.
When they heard that Gillian Thompson had sought help for the company, everyone looked at her with kindness.
“Miss Thompson, I heard you’ve been on the phone all night for two days, explaining the situation to dozens of companies. You were really dedicated, calling each of them.”
“Yeah, I’ve heard about it too. They said that just after Miss Thompson finished each call, someone from that organization came to dispel the rumors, advising them not to believe or spread them.”
Receiving such praise, Gillian felt guilty, and her heart skipped a beat.
Phone calls? What phone calls?
She never made any calls at all.
Joshua Thompson squinted at her, asking in an awkward tone, “What, you’re saying you didn’t make those calls?”
Calling the owners of all those companies for two consecutive days was no easy task.
Not to mention she wouldn’t know the owners’ personal numbers, it would take not only superb eloquence but also great intelligence to change their decisions over a single phone call. Those owners were all seasoned businessmen, and it wouldn’t be easy to persuade them with just a few words.
He didn’t think Gillian had that ability.
Joshua’s words silenced the room.
Gillian’s face turned pale and her lips trembled.
She knew the person who made those calls was definitely not her.
Could it be Violet?
Looking at so many pairs of eyes, she bit her lip and hesitated, nodding, “It was me.”
Now that the arrow was on the bow, she had to let it fly. She couldn’t just admit it wasn’t her in front of so many people.
“Mr. Thompson, you’ve raised quite a capable daughter.”
“Yeah, my friend told me that your daughter persuaded him with just a few words. And right after she hung up, the phone call from the ‘W’ organization came in. More than fifty calls! That organization must be helping your daughter!”
The ‘W’ organization never interfered in business matters. That they made an exception for their company showed that deep connections were needed to convince them.
Hearing the praise, Daniel’s eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled. He was glad that he hadn’t sent Gillian back to the old house; otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to cope with the company’s crisis.
His gaze shifted to Joshua and the others, his expression extremely serious.
“From now on, you all should treat Gillian better.”
Joshua sneered, rolling his eyes in disdain.
Treating her better was actually about treating the organization behind her better, right?
What benefits could that organization get from helping someone like Gillian?
Nicholas Thompson smiled comfortingly.
As long as Gillian could change for the better, everything still had a chance to turn around. As for the organization, he neither cared nor bothered about them. With or without them, he would still treat Gillian as his sister.
Damian Thompson gave Gillian a gentle smile, “Thank you, Fifth Sister. We really owe it to you this time.”
Gillian’s eyes evaded while she muttered “No need,” but she couldn’t shake the bad feeling deep inside her.
She suddenly thought of someone.
Could it be Ivy who made the calls?
No, it’s impossible.
A person raised by an old scavenger wouldn’t have had the chance to get in touch with the ‘W’ organization.
Suppressing the panic in her heart, Gillian excused herself due to discomfort and left the room.
To completely lay her worries to rest, she called Violet Summers as soon as she stepped out.
The “beep-beep” sound of the cellphone was like a hammer pounding her heart, making her face burning hot.
At that moment, she truly felt time was crawling by.
