The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce-Chapter 33 - Treat Everyone Fairly

Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Treat Everyone Fairly

Translator: 549690339

Don’t do anything deceitful, and don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking at the door. Gillian Thompson did something wrong, so of course she was afraid of surveillance.

Isabelle, standing on the side, also started to panic. She knew the whole process, and knew there would be trouble if the surveillance was checked. Daniel Thompson told Nicholas, “You go check the surveillance.”

Gillian, regardless of her wet body, hurriedly grabbed Nicholas, “Second brother, I’ll go with you.”

Her tone was unavoidably anxious.

Daniel’s gaze darkened.

Gillian hurriedly defended herself, “I’m just curious and want to know how she pushed me.”

Molly was holding the box, her red lips curved in a gorgeous smile, “Even if you don’t change your clothes, you still want to watch surveillance. Miss Thompson has a strong curiosity.”

Only then did everyone look at Gillian and noticed that she was only wrapped in a towel and hadn’t even changed her clothes yet.

Daniel frowned seriously. Being middle-aged, his tone was inevitably forceful, “Don’t you trust your second brother to check it himself? Be good and go change your clothes first.”

Gillian’s face turned red, she muttered a few words, looked at Nicholas with grievance but finally turned around to change her clothes.

Nicholas didn’t say a word and walked towards the surveillance room.

“Miss Walker and Isabelle, come in and sit down.” Daniel’s tone was gentle.

Isabelle worried about the surveillance and was digging her feet in the ground. Hearing Daniel calling her, she nodded reluctantly.

Several people sat in the living room waiting for the outcome.

Molly put the box aside, calmly accepting the tea handed over by the servant.

Daniel saw that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she didn’t even have the petty arrogance or nervousness of a common family. His appreciation deepened.

He had been a soldier before with a strong aura. Combined with his status as the richest man, many young girls didn’t even dare to look him in the eye. But Molly, as Joshua said, was indeed different.

“l heard from Joshua that Miss Walker was also adopted?” Daniel suddenly spoke.

Isabelle clenched the cup in her hand.

She pretended not to care and took a big sip of tea. Her peripheral vision, however, remained fixed on Molly and Daniel.

“Yes.” Molly calmly continued, “Although I haven’t had parents since childhood, the love my grandmother gave me was enough to make up for the lack of love.’

“Your grandmother must be outstanding.” Daniel sincerely sighed. Children from single-parent families or those lacking love would grow up with difficult-to-heal scars, either feeling inferior or arrogant. Yet he could not see these defects in Molly, proving that those who raised her indeed did a good job.

“If I have the opportunity, I really want to meet such an elder.”

He didn’t know Molly’s grandmother had passed away.

Mollys eyes drooped, thinking of the old woman who had raised her unconditionally despite her poverty, her calm heart stirred again.

She mocked Isabelle with a glance, “Unfortunately, my grandmother has passed away.”

Daniel’s face showed a hint of surprise and regret, “That’s a shame.”

“l just regret not giving her a good life, and even causing her untimely death because of me.’

Isabelle clenched her fists, her teeth grinding loudly.

Molly cast an ambiguous glance at her, making insinuations without naming names that aroused suspicion.

Daniel glanced at Isabelle and stopped the conversation.

On the other side, Nicholas was checking the surveillance. After watching it twice, he finally saw the truth.

It wasn’t Mollys fault.

He held the mouse, hesitating over the delete button.

“Why the hesitation?” Damian’s voice sounded from behind, “l thought you would delete it directly.”

Nicholas paused, helplessly saying, “Gillian isn’t like this. It must be that Molly offended her somehow.”

His whole heart was full of making excuses for Gillian.

Damian hesitated whether or not to tell Nicholas about the good relationship between Joshua and Molly.

His second brother was good in every respect, but he was somewhat partial when it came to protecting his own family. He was fair to everyone else, but biased when it came to his own kin.

He was very similar to Joshua in this regard.

“You’re a lawyer, I thought you would treat everyone fairly.”

“l treat everyone fairly in court, but now that it involves Gillian’s reputation, I can’t turn a blind eye. Brother, after Ivy went missing, Gillian has been healing us in her place. Without Gillian, it would have been very difficult for

Dad and us to make it this far.’

Nicholas’s words were both helpless and desolate.

After Ivy’s disappearance, their mother had a mental breakdown, which was a fatal blow to their family. freewebno(v)el

Then Gillian came and made their lives a little bit better.

Over the years, they had pampered Gillian as if she was Ivy, and it had become a habit.

Damian didn’t say anything. Beneath his transparent gold-rimmed glasses, his phoenix-like eyes appeared even more profound.

Joshua had already fallen asleep in exhaustion, otherwise he might have started fighting with Nicholas.

Damian was considering whether or not to tell Nicholas about Joshua’s insistence that Molly was Ivy. Before he could say anything, Nicholas deleted the surveillance footage.

The information was wiped away.

Damian frowned, “Nicholas, this is unfair to Molly.”

“It is unfair. If there is retribution, let it come to me.” Nicholas smiled brilliantly. He was obviously someone who had grown up in the sunshine, but it allowed Damian to get a glimpse of the darkness hidden deep within him. “Molly is in the process of divorcing Michael Gallagher without taking anything. I guess she needs money the most right now. I will give her enough compensation.”

Nicholas thought this solution was excellent. As long as there was enough compensation, no one would refuse.

Damian sighed.

Ivy’s disappearance had affected their mother and the three brothers.

Nicholas might have appeared sunny on the outside, but when it came to family matters, it made him unconsciously biased.

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade him otherwise, Damian handed him a card, “For Molly’s compensation, 1 have a portion here too.”

Nicholas raised his eyebrows in confusion.

“Last time she was bullied by our cousin, I promised her that I would give her an explanation. Since you are going to compensate her, give her my share as well.’

Nicholas silently accepted the card.

Damian thought of the proud and beautiful woman and glanced at the premium credit card, “She probably won’t accept our compensation.”

But it will definitely leave a bad impression on them.

“She hasn’t suffered any real losses and can still get a large sum of money.

What’s there to be unsatisfied about?” Nicholas replied noncommittally. “It’s

Gillian who fell into the water, not her.’

In his opinion, Molly had no reason not to accept it.

“She’s not like other women.’

Damian squinted his eyes, recalling her red dress and facing off against Lucy.

This Molly was like a strong rose, unwilling to bow down to anyone.

He couldn’t imagine how such a woman could bear to be Michael’s secret wife for three years.

Thinking about Joshua wanting to acknowledge Molly as his sister, Damian decided not to say what was on his mind.

It’s better not to let Joshua know, as long as Nicholas could handle the matter, to avoid any conflicts between the brothers.

Damian suddenly asked curiously, “Nicholas, if Ivy comes back and has a conflict with Gillian, who would you support?”

“Gillian is so kind, she wouldn’t have a conflict with Ivy.” Nicholas refuted decisively.

“That’s not necessarily true.” Damian laughed like a sly fox. “Do you mean… Has Ivy been found?!” Nicholas’s eyes lit up..
