Chapter 422: Chapter 419 His Scheme
 

Looking at Molly’s struggle, Jeremy’s emotions surged.

Although he didn’t understand the internal affairs of the organization, what Michael did must have put her in a difficult position.

Thinking of Michael, Jeremy’s anger surged, and he couldn’t suppress it.

“Your baby was lost because of him, and now he still wants to put you in a tough situation. Molly, such a man, do you still want to forgive him?”

He gazed at her, his voice gentle and elegant, and a few ripples appeared in his tender eyes.

Molly pursed her lips, her face turning slightly pale.

Jeremy continued, “Molly, you know my feelings, but I won’t force you to be with me. I can’t bless you and Michael. He’s done so much to hurt you, and I can’t rest assured to hand you over to him…”

A worried expression covered Jeremy’s face, and his handsome features revealed a hint of coldness.

He was a paranoid person, especially in love.

But he also knew that in love if it wasn’t a mutual pursuit, it would be better to let go.

He had let go once, but what did Michael do?

He did nothing, and even lost his child.

“Regardless of what has happened between you and Michael, what he has done is enough for me to beat him up several times, Molly…” He couldn’t help but support her shoulder, “it’s not that I have to have you with me, but I can’t accept you being hurt by him again.”

Molly softly smiled and gently stepped back a few steps, freeing herself from his grasp.

“The baby’s matter can’t be solely blamed on him.” Molly calmly smiled at him, her eyes like smoke wafting about, alluring beyond measure.

Jeremy’s hand was left lingering in the air, his face showing shock and sorrow.

“I know there are misunderstandings about him, but the things between him and me can’t be explained in a few words.”

She was the one who deceived him first, and the baby in her womb was already unstable. That day, it should have been her who had the most responsibility for the miscarriage.

It was her reckless chase, while ignoring her own body, that led to the loss of the baby.

It was normal for Michael to be angry after finding out about her deception, but her emotions were abnormal.

She cared too much about his thoughts, so much so that she failed to protect the baby in her womb.

Jeremy’s expression was still, looking at her with an inscrutable gaze.

Molly, as she had been before, never protected Michael like this.

He thought that Molly would hate Michael deeply after losing her child, but in reality, it wasn’t the case.

She was subconsciously protecting that man.

Suddenly, another person came to Jeremy’s mind.

That person had also protected him like this.

Suddenly, Jeremy felt a dull pain in his heart.

“Miss Walker…” The Leaford family’s housekeeper walked in, stood by the side, and whispered, “Michael has arrived.”

Michael…

Jeremy’s eyes sharpened.

Molly glanced at Jeremy, and said to the housekeeper, “Ask him to wait a moment and tell him I have a guest.”

“I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.” Jeremy stood up with a complex expression on his face.

If he continued to stay here, he would be too indiscreet.

Molly furrowed her brow and whispered, “It’s dinner time. Why not stay for dinner before you go?”

“No need, I have something to do.”

Jeremy took a deep breath and almost seemed to fly away from this place.

As he stepped out the door, Molly called out to him.

“Jeremy,” she paused, “Thank you.”

Jeremy smirked and waved back at her casually.

When Jeremy left the house, he ran right into Michael.

Michael was dressed in a simple windbreaker, his hair fluttering in the wind, a restrained sharpness emanating from him, possessing an aura that was cold yet steady.

Seeing him, Michael showed no surprise.

Thinking of Molly’s protection of him, Jeremy’s heart clenched in pain.

He didn’t even look at Michael, staring straight ahead as they brushed past one another.

As the housekeeper saw Michael, he quickly walked up and said, “Miss Walker is waiting for you inside.”

While speaking, the housekeeper was already sizing up the man before him with his peripheral vision.

The man in front of him was tall and handsome, with a stiff posture that was enough to make people hesitate.

Although he was just an employee of the Leaford family, he had heard all about Michael.

Michael, Molly’s ex-husband, still held considerable power within the Leaford family.

Michael walked into the villa, saw Molly sitting on the sofa, and quickly approached her.

“Why don’t you rest?”

His magnetic voice was full of determination that couldn’t be questioned.

“I’ve been lying for a long time, and wanted to sit up. Why are you here?” She looked up, her gaze fixed on him unblinkingly.

Her face, once the size of a palm, was now thinner and weaker, making her deer-like eyes even bigger and brighter.

Michael silently looked at her delicate collarbone, his heart tangled in a knot.

His hand gradually tightened, then slowly loosened.

“I missed you…” Michael paused, flustered, “I wanted to see you.” Molly smirked, watching his guilty and nervous expression, and her anger subsided a bit.

Seeing him for an instant, Molly knew that he hadn’t been much better off than her.

“You went to Capital City University yesterday?” Michael’s heart surged with pain, “From now on, let me take care of anything you need.”

Thinking of something, he added grimly, “What Harry Lambert can do, I can do.”

He knew about the relationship between Molly and Harry Lambert. Harry’s intentions for her were clear, and he was willing to do anything she asked.

This made him uncomfortable.

He didn’t want her to trust any other man so much.

Molly was stunned, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly, “Are you jealous?”

“Yes.” Michael admitted frankly.

Molly’s heart skipped a beat,

Michael’s deep eyes locked on her, his voice low, “Harry Lambert’s feelings for you are known to everyone in Orientopia, and I don’t want him to get too close to you.”

“But he’s been my friend for many years…” Molly’s voice trailed off, and she immediately remembered what Jeremy had said to her earlier.

Michael had ulterior motives for the “W” organization.

If he knew that she was the Big Boss of the “W” organization, and that there wasn’t only No. 6 under her, but also No. 4, No. 3, and No. 2, wouldn’t that make him even angrier?

There were many men and women in the “W” organization, but her direct subordinates were mostly men.

This was a rule set by her former Master, who said that there were few women who could endure hardships, so the organization had always had a predominantly male composition.

It wasn’t until after her Master passed away and she took over the organization completely that the male-dominated structure began to change gradually.

“You have many male friends.” Michael thought of Jeremy who had just left, and his tone became sarcastic.

“You have quite a few female friends too.” Molly confronted him head-on.

Isabelle, Violet, Scarlett, which one was easy to deal with?

Seeing Molly staring at him angrily, Michael couldn’t help but find it amusing.

“There won’t be any more in the future.” He poked her cheek, a gentle curve appearing on his lips, “From now on, I’ll listen to whatever you say.”
