“Whether it’s true or not, the Thompson family will have an attitude. Instead of guessing here, why don’t you ask Damian Thompson directly?” His cold appearance made Jake Leaford’s face turn red.

He had a good relationship with Damian, but running to ask about this would seem a bit gossipy.

Moreover, this was clearly fake news. If he really went to ask, wouldn’t that make him look foolish?

He didn’t want to give Damian the chance to laugh at him.

“Forget it. This news is obviously fake. Your ex-wife must have been driven delusional by Isabelle, claiming to be Ivy Thompson. It’s a surprise she could even think of that.” Jake seemed to have thought of something and gossiped, “Speaking of which, you had an arranged marriage with Ivy Thompson back then, but before you could hold her, she disappeared.”

As soon as Jake’s words came out, he quickly realized that the question was a bit silly.

If Michael Gallagher wasn’t married, it’d be fine. But as a man who had been married twice, the Thompson family might not be willing.

Moreover, Isabelle was there, who dared to offend the Richardson family.

Actually, the Richardson family wasn’t particularly wealthy, but they had a father who had transitioned from fighting crime in Orientopia. No one dared to investigate how many lives he had taken, but just hearing the name “Richardson” was enough to make people tremble. It was a testament to their influence.

If the Thompson family and the Richardson family fought, it would be interesting.

“I think you came here today not to talk about cooperation but to gossip about my private life?” Michael’s fingers slightly twitched, his eyes staring deeply at Jake, becoming darker and more dangerous.

Jake stiffened all over and jumped up. “No, I’m just feeling indignant for you.”

“You’ve kept Molly Walker hidden for three years, secretly protecting her, even giving her a Design Department to play with. In the end, she didn’t even appreciate it. Look, she divorced you and got involved with the Thompson family.” In his opinion, Molly was no different from other women, just a gold-digger and social butterfly.

Looking at his friend’s evaluation of Molly, Michael suddenly realized that the three years she spent with him must have been genuinely hard.

At least the bad comments about her from the outside world were all because of him.

Michael cast a casual glance at him. “She doesn’t owe me anything, and the Design Department she led has already qualified for the jewelry design competition.”

“What?” Jake was astonished. “Is your Design Department that good?”

Michael lowered his eyes. Not only him, but even he himself was a little surprised when he received this news.

He looked at the profits of the various departments in the company for the past years. After Molly joined, the Design Department reached a break-even point in the first year, and the profits in the following two years ranked among the top in the company.

He didn’t pay attention to these things before, and the people in the company didn’t specifically tell him. Either Molly was low-key herself, or someone else stole her credit.

No matter which one it was, Molly must have felt quite wronged.

Others thought that during those three years, Molly was kept by him, but just relying on her own ability, she could have lived well.

She stayed in the Gallagher Group and settled for less than she deserved.

Seeing that Michael’s mood was not good, Jake was about to say something, but he swallowed it down in a hurry.

No matter what, he didn’t think Molly had the ability to do this.

She was still young, having just graduated a few years ago. How could she turn a company’s department that was about to fail into one that was competing? How was this possible for a woman like Molly?

“Mr. Gallagher, Miss Richardson is here.” The assistant who had gone out knocked on the door, and Jake, who was inside, had a playful smile in the corner of his mouth.

“Wow, your rumored girlfriend is here!”

Isabelle hurriedly entered, her voice sweet, “Michael, I have something urgent to talk to you about…”

Seeing Jake looking at her playfully, Isabelle immediately shut her mouth.

“What’s the matter?” Michael’s voice was gentle, which made her feel cared for.

Since Michael had promised to marry her, he had become much gentler with her.

She stood there, carefully glancing at Michael while thinking about how to bring up the matter.

Seeing her like this, Jake originally wanted to leave, but instead, his curiosity was piqued, and he waited for her to finish speaking, itching to know more.

Since Jake didn’t intend to leave, Isabelle didn’t care anymore and anxiously asked:

“Michael, has Gallagher Group got the pass for the jewelry design competition

She had already confirmed on the official website that only Gallagher Group in Sunnydale City was selected.

Michael nodded.

Isabelle’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Michael, let me participate.”

The assistant looked at her in surprise and glanced at their president.

Jake’s mouth was wide open in an “O” shape.

“Don’t worry, I’ve won small awards for my jewelry design before, I won’t disgrace you”

Standing nearby, the assistant’s face was full of embarrassment.

Miss Richardson was not an employee of the Gallagher Group, so how could she have the nerve to make such a request?

Looking at Isabelle’s pretty face and innocent appearance, the assistant had a word that came to mind: spoiled.

Michael didn’t speak, but Isabelle continued without giving up, “Michael, you should know that Gallagher Group lacks a top-notch designer, I can represent them.”

“Who says Gallagher Group doesn’t have a top-notch designer?” A crisp and lingering voice interrupted her.

Molly Walker stood outside the door, with her arms crossed, lazily walking in. “You are neither an employee of the Gallagher Group’s design team nor Michael’s wife, so it’s not appropriate for you to represent Gallagher Group in the competition.”

Recalling that Isabelle had collided with Joshua Thompson, Molly couldn’t hide her ridicule.

This competition pass was obtained through her design, and Isabelle just wanted to snatch it away without a reason, but she would have to see whether Molly agreed with that or not.

Seeing Molly, Jake was a bit surprised.

He had seen her photos, but he didn’t expect her to look even better in person. Such a beautiful woman.

He glanced at Michael. Was he intentionally hiding Molly like a concealed gem?

“Why can’t I represent Gallagher Group in the competition? I quite like your position.” Isabelle spoke ambiguously, smiling innocently. She walked over to Michael’s side and coquettishly said, “Michael, let me participate.”

Michael frowned and looked at Molly.

Molly stood there with a smile, ignoring him except for her hatred towards Isabelle, as if he were an enemy.

She was laughing and talking to Harry Lambert, but when she saw him, she treated him like a foe. What did he do wrong to her?

“What do you think?”

Michael asked her unexpectedly, and Molly was slightly stunned.

She really wanted to participate. This competition was a rare opportunity for designers, and it would be their first step towards the international stage.

In terms of design, Molly didn’t need money, but who wouldn’t want to be

more famous?

Looking into Michael’s deep and inquisitive eyes, she couldn’t say the words “I want to participate.”

It seemed that since that incident, the relationship between the two of them had become tense.

“I have no opinion. Everything is up to Mr. Gallagher’s arrangements.” Molly opened her hands and smiled helplessly..
