The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce-Chapter 9 - – Chapter 9: He Already Had Someone Else in His Heart

Chapter 9 – Chapter 9: He Already Had Someone Else in His Heart

It was her mother-in-law, Lana Lewis.

Molly Walker answered the phone: “Hello, Mom.”

On the phone, Lana Lewis sounded a bit impatient: “Come back to the villa, I have something to ask you.”

Molly was silent for a few seconds, and eventually let out an “Mmm.”

Her mother-in-law was the best person in the Gallagher family to her, including willingly paying for her grandmother’s hospital and medical expenses.

On the day she brought up divorce, Michael Gallagher told her not to let her mother-in-law know about it.

There were no secrets in this world, and her mother-in-law would eventually find out.

It was a drizzling rain, with millions of tiny droplets falling on the umbrella.

Molly closed the umbrella and stopped at the door of the villa.

This was a standalone villa, almost as big as a small estate. When she first moved in, she felt a little out of place, but her mother-in-law was patient and taught her everything about the place.

Times have changed…

She knocked on the door, and Aunt Lewis opened it.

Aunt Lewis smiled warmly: “Young lady, Ma’am has been waiting for you.”

Molly walked in and saw her mother-in-law sitting on the sofa, frowning at her cell phone, as if she had seen something unpleasant.

“You’re here.” Lana Lewis glanced up and saw her, patting the seat next to her, “Come here.”

“Michael will be here in a while. Whatever it is, you two can discuss it face to face.”

These words made Molly uneasy: “Mom, we…”

“I know what you want to say.” Lana Lewis clenched her hand, gritting her teeth on her usually gentle face, “After yesterday’s news, those old guys in the company called me and said they wanted Michael to step down.”

Stepping down…

If it sounds nice, it’s stepping down; if it doesn’t, it’s asking Michael Gallagher to leave the Gallagher family business.

“You should know that Michael’s cousin also has many supporters in the company. They’re just waiting for Michael to make a mistake. Now that the news of Michael and the Thompson family’s baby has come out, my face… “At this, her eyes filled with tears and she sighed, “I really don’t know why Michael would do this. Molly, please help him. If the news of his divorce comes out, Michael’s situation in the company will be very difficult.”

Molly sighed: “Mom, even if I don’t bring up the divorce, Michael Gallagher will.”

Molly hesitated whether to tell Lana Lewis about her wedding night and what Michael Gallagher had said to her.

On their wedding night, Michael Gallagher reminded her that he could give her money and status, but not love.

His words were clear, he already had someone else in his heart.

She had been wholeheartedly supporting him for years, waiting for the day he would turn around and look at her, but now it was all in vain.

As long as Michael protects Isabelle Richardson, she and Michael will never reconcile.

“I know you’re concerned about Isabelle Richardson, but rest assured, as long as I’m here, she won’t be able to set foot in our house.” Lana Lewis narrowed her eyes, and a fierce glint flashed in them, “Even if her family is rich, it’s useless. She’s not the daughter-in-law I approve of.”

Molly looked up, her mouth slightly open, a little surprised.

Her mother-in-law made no attempt to hide her disgust for Isabelle Richardson.

Just as she was about to say it wasn’t just because of Isabelle, someone walked in from outside and interrupted her.

It was Michael Gallagher.

Dramatically, Isabelle Richardson was right beside him.

Seeing Isabelle Richardson, Lana Lewis abruptly stood up: “Why did you come here?”

Isabelle Richardson hid behind Michael Gallagher, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz: “Aunt.”

“Get out!” Lana Lewis pointed to the door and issued an eviction order without hesitation.

“I asked her to come.”

Michael Gallagher’s words made Lana Lewis tremble with anger: “Do you know what you’re doing? You bring her here, how is your wife supposed to feel?”

Michael Gallagher looked at Molly, thinking of how Joshua Thompson was willing to ruin his reputation for her, and his expression became colder.

At first, he just suspected Molly and Joshua Thompson’s relationship, but now it seemed likely to be true.

After all, Joshua Thompson was even willing to spread “scandalous” news for her.

Michael Gallagher pursed his lips and looked away.

“We’re divorced.”

As soon as he said this, Lana Lewis’s face turned deathly pale: “What did you say?”

“We’ve already signed the agreement and got the divorce certificate.” He looked deeply at Molly.

Molly gave a bitter smile.

They just signed an agreement, but Michael Gallagher said they got a marriage certificate. He wanted to kill his mother’s thoughts of them getting back together.

Although she had made up her mind not to look back, her heart still hurt when Michael said these words.

Isabelle Richardson stood aside, her lips curling up.

This subtle movement did not escape the eyes of Lana Lewis: “Even if you’re divorced, I won’t let Isabelle enter our house.”

“Aunt, do you hate me that much?”

Isabelle couldn’t stand this anger and asked directly.

She was the eldest daughter of the Richardson family, and everyone only catered to her. Even Michael’s mother used to like her.

She couldn’t accept the cold sarcasm from the person who used to like her.

Lana Lewis didn’t expect her to ask directly. Wasn’t it evident enough? Did she still want her to say it out loud?

Lana, being straightforward, replied directly since Isabelle asked: “Yes, I don’t like you.”

“You’ve hurt one of my sons already, and now you’re planning to hurt my second child. How can I like you?”

“What should I like about you? Your caused my eldest son to die or causing my youngest son’s family to fall apart? Isabelle, you shouldn’t even be asking me such a humiliating question.”

Tears rolled down Isabelle’s eyes.

Molly Walker was shocked to hear this.

She had always known that Lana had two children, but wasn’t the eldest heir of the Gallagher family, Noah Jenkins, dead due to an accident? How was it related to Isabelle?

Isabelle clenched her fists in her sleeves, like a shaky falling leaf: “Aunt, why don’t you give me another chance to be your daughter-in-law?”

“Shut up! You still have the nerve to say that.” Lana stood up. “If it wasn’t for you, Xavier wouldn’t have died. It’s all because of you, you disaster!”

Mentioning Xavier, a burst of hatred bursts from Isabelle’s eyes: “Aunt, I have said it before. His death has nothing to do with me.”

Molly stood aside with a heavy expression.

Wasn’t Noah Jenkins burned to death?

The mother-in-law’s attitude was somewhat subtle.

Was there any other hidden information about the death of the eldest young master of the Gallagher family?

Isabelle laughed innocently: “Aunt, if you really miss Xavier, you should let Michael marry me. After all, Xavier was so kind, he must have wanted me to be happy…”

Lana could no longer bear it and raised her hand and slapped Isabelle’s face hard.

With a “slap”, Isabelle’s face immediately turned red.

Michael quickly pulled Isabelle behind him: “Mom!”

“Get out!” Lana pointed to the door, her face as cold as frost.

After saying this, her legs weakened, and she fell backward.

“Mom!”

“Aunt!”

…

The emergency room of the hospital.

Looking at the familiar corridor, Molly shuddered.

Last time, she received news of her grandmother’s death here.

“It’s all because of me…” Isabelle cried with a sad face. “If it wasn’t for me, Aunt wouldn’t have fainted.”

Molly looked at the familiar emergency room, as if she had returned to the scene of her grandmother’s death.

Isabelle still cried, and Molly got up annoyed: “Can you shut up!”

Isabelle’s crying stopped abruptly.

Molly coldly looked at Isabelle, hatred spreading once again.

“Michael…” Isabelle hid behind Michael Gallagher, who looked expressionless at Molly.

Molly clenched her lips and looked back coldly, “I suggest you send her away before Mom wakes up.”

“No!” Isabelle panicked. “I want to stay here to take care of Aunt. Michael, please let me stay here. I want to take good care of Aunt to make up for my sins.”

“Redemption?” Molly laughed.

Her grandmother died, and Isabelle acted as if nothing happened.

Now her mother-in-law was hurt, and she wants to redeem herself again?
