Chapter 327 - 326: Are You Interested in Joining the ‘W’ Organization?
Turns out Gillian Thompson still hadn’t given up.
Molly Walker sneered internally and said to Grace Harrison, “You don’t have to listen to her. Right now, other than Nicholas, no one in the Thompson family acknowledges her as their sister.”
Gillian Thompson was still in the Capital City and even auditing classes at A University.
How could this be considered a punishment? It was more like a reward.
No wonder Gillian Thompson was still so arrogant. Her development into such a self-centered person was largely due to Nicholas.
“Really?” Grace’s eyes lit up. “Then I can rest assured. Thank you, sister. I’ll return Mr. Thompson’s clothes right away.”
She waved at Molly Walker and rushed out.
Molly Walker watched as Grace Harrison hopped onto a pink electric scooter and sped off into the distance.
The sun had just set and Emma Smith also arrived on time.
“Ivy.” Emma Smith practically ran to her, panting heavily, with a slightly red face.
“Take a rest.” Molly handed her a cup of water and indicated to the sofa beside them.
Emma Smith took a sip of the water, thought about Samuel Richardson’s warning, bit her lip, and said to Molly, “Ivy, Daniel Thompson isn’t ill.”
Molly Walker was slightly taken aback.
“He faked his dementia!” Emma Smith explained again.
Molly Walker hadn’t expected Emma Smith to come and tell her this news.
As if afraid that Molly wouldn’t believe her, Emma Smith anxiously said, “It was Phoebe Belmont and my father who told me. I was there too. Phoebe said that Daniel Thompson is not at all sick. Faking his illness was purely to save face and salvage his marriage. He’s not sick at all.”
“Although it seems unbelievable, I wouldn’t lie to you. I asked Phoebe about it the day after she and my father met.”
She didn’t mention everything. For instance, that Samuel Richardson hadn’t told her the truth when he returned. She had guessed it herself.
Because Samuel Richardson had his own intentions.
He wanted to use this incident as leverage to pull down the Thompson family so the Richardson family could rise in their place.
She saw through Samuel Richardson’s intentions. Even if it cost her dearly, she had to tell Ivy about this.
Molly Walker wasn’t surprised to hear that Daniel Thompson was feigning his illness.
From the beginning, the news of Daniel Thompson’s illness had been strange.
She looked at the somewhat nervous Emma Smith and felt a soft ache in her heart. Her gaze landed on Emma’s neck and her pupils constricted slightly.
Moving as swiftly as thunder, she grabbed Emma Smith’s wrist, lifted her clothing, and saw the bruise that was red with purplish marks.
“Did Samuel Richardson do this?”
Emma Smith pulled her hand back, her eyes constantly welling up.
Samuel Richardson rarely hit her, but he did today because she wanted to go out and “inform” Molly Walker.
Seeing Emma Smith in such a state, Molly immediately thought of the last time when she had almost been “violated” by Jerry Jenkins.
This Samuel Richardson was not fit to be a father, let alone a human being.
It seemed that her verbal warning had no effect on Samuel Richardson.
Looking at Emma Smith’s embarrassed and awkward expression, Molly Walker’s expression darkened.
Emma Smith was in this state merely because she refused to submit to Samuel Richardson’s manipulation. Essentially, she had done nothing wrong. The only problem was that she was an illegitimate child.
But no one can choose their birth.
“Actually, it’s not a big deal. My father got used to brawls in the past, so he’ll be fine once he cools down.”
Even though Emma Smith tried to console her, Molly Walker’s heart was filled with a deep bitterness.
After thinking it over for a while, she abruptly asked, “Do you want to join the ‘W’ organization?”
Emma Smith was stunned, she thought she had heard wrong.
“I think that only if you join this organization, you can deal with people like Samuel Richardson. Plus, I wouldn’t have to worry about your personal safety.”
She had thought about it for a long time, about how to protect this kind-hearted girl. After reminiscing, she felt that having her join the organization would be more reliable.
The organization had just fired someone, so it made sense to bring in a replacement.
Once she confirmed Molly Walker wasn’t joking, Emma Smith’s eyes widened dramatically, her face filled with excitement. She stuttered, “Re…really? Can I really join? Ivy, you’re not just saying this to make me happy, are you?”
The ‘W’ organization!
Having the connections of this organization alone would give people a high status with various companies. If she could become a member of the organization…
Emma dared not dream.
“Of course, it’s true. And I happen to be short-handed. If you’re interested, I can have someone from the organization take you to register tomorrow.” Upon seeing Emma’s excitement, Molly was relieved.
She always paid back the kindness of others. She was willing to help a girl like Emma, who had her unique ideas and was not willing to stoop to unethical behaviour.
Upon hearing this, Emma trembled with excitement, tears streaming down her face.
She could actually join the ‘W’ organization!
Starting from now, she no longer needed to put up with Samuel Richardson’s behaviour, nor be manipulated by him.
Emma covered her mouth, tears falling like rain.
“Thank you, thank you…”
Her nose stung, her eyes blurred with tears.
She thought she had no future in this life.
She had a low education level and was not academically inclined. Apart from having Samuel Richardson as a father, her life was like a straight line, with the end in sight.
The day she found out Samuel Richardson was her dad, she was so happy she couldn’t sleep.
But later, she realised her father was not the same as other people’s fathers, it was better to not have him.
Later still, even though she disagreed with Samuel Richardson’s actions, she didn’t dare to show it.
Until she met Molly Walker.
Molly’s life showed her the infinite possibilities people have.
No matter if she was abandoned or raised by a garbage-picking grandmother, whether she failed in marriage or was trampled upon by others, she could still bloom with hope.
Molly Walker never gave up. She stood against the Richardson family single-handedly and managed to send Isabelle Richardson to prison.
From then on, she firmly decided not to condone Samuel Richardson’s wrong doing.
She wanted to be herself.
And now, she finally had the chance to be herself.
No one could manipulate her anymore.
Seeing Emma crying so hard made Molly feel heavy-hearted.
This girl must have had a hard life.
Well, at least once Emma joins the organization, Samuel Richardson will think twice before he makes any move in future.
After Emma finished crying, she quickly wiped off her tears and asked with red, swollen eyes, “Ivy, will your organization cover our board and lodging?”
Molly blinked, “Yes.”
“That’s good then,” Emma raised her chin proudly, “I fear Samuel Richardson will try to profit from me after learning about this. Once I join the organization, I won’t be staying at the Richardson’s place anymore. I would live as close to the organization as possible, and contribute all I can, even if it costs me my life.”
That she was accepted into this organization felt like smoke pouring from her ancestors’ graves, signalling fortune.
She had to share this with her mother and grandmother and make them proud.
Molly felt happy seeing Emma’s excitement and happiness.
Being able to help Emma made Molly feel relieved.
However, she did not expect Daniel Thompson to pretend to be sick without any care for his dignity.
If he was trying to save his face, acting dumb might have worked, but once the truth was revealed, he would lose all his dignity.
If Daniel knew that Phoebe Belmont had already shared this secret with his business rival, Molly wondered what he would feel.
Speak of the devil, soon Daniel Thompson, surrounded by his bodyguards, arrived at the Leaford family home.
“Daughter~ My sweet daughter~” Daniel, seemingly dazed, waved at Molly, and looked very much like a person with dementia.
