The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce-Chapter 525 - 520: Probing the Reality and Illusion _1
Chapter 525: Chapter 520: Probing the Reality and Illusion _1
Ethan Hopkins’ pupils contracted.
Molly Walker knew about his relationship with Samuel Richardson!
But it only took him a moment to adjust his mentality, and he chuckled warmly, “Samuel Richardson? What kind of relationship could he and I have? My aunt just join his company, so the relationship between him and me is just that of a typical common senior and junior. What is the meaning of your question, Miss Walker?”
“Auntie…” Molly Walker raised her eyebrows, “Your aunt is Phoebe Belmont?”
She remembered that Phoebe Belmont had just joined Samuel Richardson’s company.
A shock flitted through Ethan Hopkins’s heart, but he managed to look calm on the surface, “Yes, Phoebe Belmont is my cousin’s aunt.”
Molly Walker chuckled lightly.
Phoebe Belmont was Ethan Hopkins’ aunt…
Everything made sense now.
No wonder Ethan Hopkins would move against Gillian Thompson.
It turned out Phoebe Belmont was the one instigating things behind the scenes.
If they all united, it would be a deadly blow to my brother and the entire Thompson Group.
An executive who has been in a company for decades moving to a competitor’s company, that’s very dangerous.
Especially someone like Phoebe Belmont who is desperate.
Molly Walker looked up, her gaze firm.
“Ethan Hopkins, I don’t care what your relationship is with Phoebe Belmont, but if you and Samuel Richardson join forces to target Thompson Group, I will start with you.”
The tone of her speech was gentle, but it contained a sharp edge.
The smile on Ethan Hopkins’ face suddenly disappeared, his lips thinning into a straight line.
He knew that Molly Walker was not making empty threats.
“Isabelle Richardson’s death, that was your doing, right?” Ethan Hopkins’ tone was light, “I know Miss Walker is capable. I value my life and I dare not mess with Thompson Group. Besides, Gillian and I are about to become husband and wife. What good would it do for me to harm the Thompson family, they are my in-laws.”
“Your little tricks might fool Gillian Thompson, but don’t try to play them in front of me.” Molly Walker smirked, “You have been secretly dating that girl for five years, Ethan Hopkins. Gillian Thompson is just your stepping stone, isn’t she?”
The atmosphere fell into a cold, awkward silence.
Ethan Hopkins’ heartbeat pounded.
Molly Walker knew. She actually knew!
He had spent so much money covering up these messages, yet she had found out in such a short amount of time!
These days he had been avoiding Liliana just to avoid being discovered.
That day was Liliana’s birthday, he thought he would make an exception just this once, but he didn’t expect this one transgression to break all his plans!
Liliana was his first love, and also the love he couldn’t let go of.
Molly Walker was right, Gillian Thompson was his stepping stone and could only be his stepping stone.
Ethan Hopkins forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart, his face full of anger: “Miss Walker, I have been speaking to you out of respect. What’s the meaning of this? What are you trying to suggest that I am?
I’ve explained time and time again, that was my junior in college, you can ask Gillian if you don’t believe me, they even know each other. I Ethan Hopkins, have nothing to hide, no one can slander me.”
Ethan Hopkins’ anger was so palpable, anyone who saw him would believe he was wrongly accused.
Molly Walker looked at him silently, without speaking.
Some things are better left unsaid.
Those who engage in underhanded dealings, will eventually reveal their true colors.
“I don’t care who you are with, but keep your dirty hands off Thompson Group and even more so any member of the Thompson family.”
As for Gillian Thompson, she’s not on the list of those Molly Walker intends to protect.
Molly Walker’s light sentence brought him invisible pressure.
Others didn’t know, but Ethan Hopkins knew, she was the manager of “W”.
Whatever she wanted to do, she could basically achieve.
The story of Isabelle Richardson dying in prison appeared to be an accident, but no one actually believed it was an accident.
Even if it wasn’t her doing, her identity as the manager of “W” would have countless people follow suit to do her bidding.
The reputation of “W” is too great.
The identity of the manager of “W” is enough to stifle him and Gillian Thompson for a lifetime.
Ethan Hopkins clenched his fist, a deep sense of humiliation and powerlessness enveloped his mind.
From the moment Molly Walker called out to him, the feeling of inferiority, of being looked down on, had arrived. This was an invisible kind of oppression.
“Why does Miss Walker always think I’m going to harm the Thompson family?” Ethan Hopkins’s tone was self-mocking, “I still need Damian Thompson’s help right now, how could I possibly harm the Thompson family?”
“Just because you won’t now, doesn’t mean you won’t in the future.” Molly Walker eyed him dismissively, “The thing you handed over to Samuel Richardson, is it related to Thompson Group?”
Ethan Hopkins’ pupils contracted, his lips moved awkwardly.
Seeing him like this, Molly Walker’s heart sank massively.
It really is related to Thompson Group.
If this was given by Phoebe Belmont, it could still be controlled. If it was Gillian Thompson…
What she knew was that the Thompson family members all had an internal account, which could see all the things in the backstage of Thompson Group, nearly nothing to hide.
Thinking of this, Molly Walker’s heart skipped a beat.
Gillian Thompson had the Thompson family account.
Ethan Hopkins was equally shocked.
He didn’t expect that Molly Walker could even find out this.
“Miss Walker, have you been following me?” Ethan Hopkins narrowed his eyes, his tone unfriendly.
His transaction with Samuel Richardson was conducted in a hotel, with no outsiders present, unless someone had planted surveillance on him.
Thinking of this, a shiver ran down Ethan Hopkins’ spine.
The capabilities of the “W” organization were too strong, he felt as if he was naked and exposed under others’ gaze.
“Gillian Thompson said she gave the item to you.” Molly Walker didn’t admit it, and switched the topic..
Hearing that Gillian Thompson had said it, Ethan Hopkins breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped doubting: “Indeed, Gillian did give…”
“Ethan!” An anxious voice interrupted Ethan Hopkins’ speech, it was Gillian Thompson.
Gillian Thompson was pale, with a hint of lingering fear.
She glared at Molly Walker furiously, “When did I say that I gave something to Ethan? Don’t think you can use me to test Ethan while I’m not there. I’m telling you, Molly Walker, up until now, I haven’t given Ethan anything.”
Gillian Thompson’s words immediately sobered up Ethan Hopkins.
Was Molly Walker just testing him just now?
Ethan Hopkins stared at Molly Walker intently, but couldn’t read anything from her expression. She looked as if nothing had happened, upright and open, making it hard for him to guess.
The words she said just now, how much of it was a test and how much of it was true?
Samuel Richardson has already taken the hard drive, waiting for the moment when Thompson Group collapses. At such a critical moment, nothing can go wrong.
Just now he was almost tricked into revealing everything by Molly Walker.
Ethan Hopkins felt both anger and fear.
It’s not just him, even Gillian Thompson was startled by Molly Walker’s actions just now.
Giving the hard drive to Ethan Hopkins, if this was discovered, she would become a traitor to Thompson Group. At that time, going to prison would be the least of her worries, she was afraid that even her life would be at the mercy of Molly Walker.
After all, Isabelle Richardson’s life had already been played out.
Thinking of this, Gillian Thompson shivered with fear. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Looking at the reactions of the two, the depth of Molly Walker’s eyes was calm like a deep pool.
Just now she was indeed testing, and she probed out the reality of Gillian Thompson and Ethan Hopkins.
The hard drive was very likely given e by Gillian Thompson to Ethan Hopkins.
Molly Walker walked over to Gillian Thompson, eyeing her closely as she scanned her abdomen.
Gillian Thompson quickly covered her belly and took a step back, “You… what do you want?”
