The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce-Chapter 535 - 530: Standing up for Fourth Sister_1

Chapter 535: Chapter 530: Standing up for Fourth Sister_1

Hearing him say he wouldn’t help Gillian Thompson, Molly Walker slightly raised her eyebrows.

In the end, she held no expectations towards Nicholas Thompson, so his refusal to help was a pleasant surprise.

Originally, she intended to wait, to help once Nicholas Thompson saw the real faces of Ethan Hopkins and Gillian Thompson. However, unexpectedly, Ethan Hopkins seemed to have overstepped the line.

Ethan Hopkins actually made a move against her.

Of course, she wasn’t exactly a saintly figure herself either.

When Michael Gallagher acted, she retaliated. All of the photos of him and Liliana Leaford, she sent to major media outlets, not holding back a single one.

She was certain the media would be thrilled upon seeing those photos.

Seeing how everyone seemed to hold hostility towards him, Nicholas Thompson knew staying any longer would be pointless, he’d just be a nuisance.

He stood up and stated calmly: “I’m stepping out for a bit.”

To get some fresh air and to see Gillian.

No matter what, he still wanted to check on her, given that she was pregnant.

…

At that moment, Gillian Thompson was frantically scrutinizing the photos released by the media, as well as the speculation surrounding them.

This time, it wasn’t just a few photos, but dozens of them.

After looking through the photos, Gillian Thompson felt as if the blood in her body had solidified, frigid right to the bone.

Along with the images released by the media, there was also the in-depth gossip about Ethan Hopkins and Liliana Leaford.

Their relationship wasn’t baseless!

Gillian Thompson’s heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, the pain was unbearable.

“Gillian Thompson!”

Just then, the door was violently shoved open, Riley Wallace stormed over to Gillian Thompson, raising her hand high.

With a “slap”, an imprint of a red palm instantly appeared on Gillian Thompson’s face.

“Even if you’re not pretty, that’s fine, but your taste in men is terrible. You found a murderer! Ethan Hopkins hurt Ivy. In that case, I’ll hurt you.” Riley Wallace said, gripping Gillian Thompson’s shoulder tightly.

The anesthesia from Gillian Thompson’s body had only just worn off, leaving her defenseless against Riley Wallace’s grip.

“Riley Wallace…” Gillian Thompson sucked in a breath due to the pain, “We’ve known each other for so many years and I’ve never wronged you, have I? Are you really going to fight me over that woman now?”

Riley Wallace and Joshua Thompson had always had a love-hate relationship. Naturally, Gillian Thompson could see Riley Wallace’s feelings towards Joshua, but she never tried to stop it.

“I’ve never wronged you, has my behavior towards you ever been inappropriate? Gillian Thompson, I, Riley Wallace, have never owed you anything. But now, it’s time for me to avenge our Fourth Sister!”

Fourth sister…

Gillian Thompson was taken aback for a few seconds.

She had forgotten, Riley Wallace and Joshua Thompson had already gotten their marriage certificate. The current Riley Wallace was Ivy Thompson’s sister-in-law.

And her? She was just an outsider.

“You probably don’t know yet, your parents were kicked out of their hospital room by Ethan Hopkins.” Riley Wallace laughed, seeming to take pleasure in her misfortune. On closer observation, there were shades of Joshua Thompson in her expression, a hint of mischief, and the look of one who enjoyed a good show.

“Your so-called parents are a joke, demanding a dowry of seventy-five thousand dollars from Ethan Hopkins. Unfortunately, Ethan Hopkins announced to the press that he wouldn’t even give fifteen thousand dollars. Gillian Thompson, you’re not even worth fifteen thousand!”

Gillian Thompson’s face turned gradually pale. She clenched her hands into fists, her lips trembling: “A dowry is not a measure of a person’s worth.”

Though she wanted to argue, wanted to speak up for Ethan Hopkins, she lacked the confidence to do so.

The news from the media and all those photos were still fresh in her mind. Even if the dowry wasn’t a measure of a person’s value, she had to admit, that the meaning behind Ethan Hopkins’ words was that she wasn’t even worth fifteen thousand dollars.

Suddenly, a wave of pain emanated from her lower abdomen.

Gillian Thompson’s whole body trembled: “Baby, baby…Riley, can you call a doctor for me? I cannot lose this baby.”

At this moment, she suddenly thought of Molly Walker. Even though Molly had divorced, she still chose to give birth to her child.

At that time, Gillian had scoffed at Molly, calling her irresponsible and shameless.

And now, it was her turn.

Only those who had really been pregnant knew how important the baby in their belly was.

Riley Wallace glanced at her belly, her itching fist gradually relaxed.

She wanted to teach Gillian a lesson, but she hadn’t expected this bitch to be pregnant.

She cared so much about the baby and yet pretended to jump off a building. What else could this be if not deliberate provocation!

She had heard from Joshua that Nicholas Thompson, her second elder brother always protected Gillian. Gillian’s actions were most likely an attempt to win sympathy and sow discord between Nicholas and their fourth sister, Ivy.

Riley Wallace leaned close to Gillian, fiercely gripping Gillian’s wrist and tightening her hold.

She had learned martial arts before and knew that if force was applied viciously at a certain spot on the wrist, it would cause great pain. Particularly when, after gripping tightly, the grip was shifted, causing flesh to grate against bone, it could result in the person passing out from the pain.

Gillian broke out in a cold sweat under her grip.

“Remember this pain.” Riley’s lips moved and her beautiful eyes narrowed like a cat baring its teeth and claws, “Next time you threaten to jump off a building and slander Ivy, I will throw you off myself, so you can experience what it’s really like to jump.”

Every time she thought of Gillian’s repeated threats, Riley would be disgusted.

She had sneered when Gillian jumped off a cliff and broke her leg, but at that time she and Joshua Thompson were not yet a couple and she had no standing to stand up for Ivy.

But now it was different, she was Ivy’s elder sister-in-law, and she needed to protect Ivy.

Ivy had grown up without the love of parents or brothers, she would provide that love.

Whoever dares to mess with Ivy, she would dare to deal with that person.

Seeing Riley Wallace defending Ivy Thompson with all her might, Gillian’s face turned beet red with anger.

Why…

Why does Ivy Thompson have such a good life, why is she treasured by everyone.

Before, she was the one cherished by everyone in the Thompson family, but now everything had changed.

Even Nicholas Thompson and Daniel Thompson who were once biased towards her were now almost siding with Ivy.

Gillian’s lips trembled, the pain in her lower abdomen getting worse.

After warning Gillian, Riley Wallace left. A few minutes later, the doctor came in.

“Your baby is fine for now.” After the doctor had conducted the fetal heartbeat monitoring and other tests, his gaze fell on her swollen face and he awkwardly said, “A pregnant woman’s emotional changes have significant impact on the baby’s health. You can’t let your emotions rise and fall drastically. As for the effects of the anesthetic gun, we can’t guarantee there are no issues, we can only observe through subsequent pregnancy checks.”

Gillian nodded weakly.

“Doctor, when will she be able to be discharged?”

The familiar voice made Gillian’s heart leap. She instinctively looked towards the doorway to see Nicholas Thompson walking towards her.

He was wearing a grey suit that day, looking very formal. His hair was combed neatly, giving an impression of both alertness and indifference.

Gillian recalled that in the legal field, Nicholas was somewhat of a big shot. Many difficult lawsuits would end in perfect victories once he was involved.

Such a man had once been her protector.

But now, she wasn’t so sure.

When she had threatened to jump, Nicholas hadn’t really appeared. If this had been in the past, he would have surely promised her everything, stayed by her side until she awoke.

Fortunately, Nicholas had finally come.

He was late, but his presence was still welcome.
