The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce

Seeing his own grandson’s expression and attitude, Mr. Jenkins knew that he was determined to be a third party.

Anger made his chest heave up and down, and thinking of something, he simply closed his eyes, out of sight out of mind.

“There’s no point in turning back, you think she’s waiting for you?” He snorts, “a good horse doesn’t eat turned grass, Ivy Thompson won’t turn back. You’ll only give up after hitting the wall.”

Zachary Jenkins pursed his lips, with no sign of wavering on his face.

Whether it’s a wall or not, he had to hit it to find out.

He pulled up his mask, quickly covering half of his face. The suffocated feeling spread through him, and a hint of coldness floated in Zachary’s eyes.

He can’t wear a mask all the time, he has to show up in public sooner or later

Thinking of Molly Walker and Jeremy Norman’s relationship, his chest suddenly felt suffocated. He walked quickly out of the hospital room, wanting to get some fresh air outside.

As he stepped out the door, a gentle and familiar voice rang in his ears:

“Mr. Jenkins.”

Zachary’s steps halted, his body stiffened.

Molly Walker laughed and walked over to him. As expected, this man was wearing a mask again.

“What a coincidence, Mr. Jenkins is also in the hospital.” She glanced inside the door, and an old man kept looking out. She guessed that this was probably Mr. Jenkins.

The Jenkins family is very famous in the business and political circles of Capital City, because people in their family are always flourishing and constantly growing with Orientopia’s development.

By now, not only has the Jenkins family become a well-established family, but also very wealthy.

Mr. Jenkins was also a legend. When she took over the organization, she could investigate everyone’s background, except for the Jenkins’, which was shrouded in mystery.

Thinking of her respected master in the organization, and connecting the relationship between Michael Gallagher and the Jenkins family, the answer in her heart was about to come out.

“What a coincidence, Miss Thompson is here too.” Zachary’s voice was somewhat hoarse, his eyes sharp, accompanied by a touch of starlight and warmth.

Today, she wore a thin coat, but she was showing off her graceful figure since the Capital City had heating everywhere.

She was naturally tall, with well-proportioned body, and this pink woolen collar coat made her look even more charming and tender.

He looked dazed for a moment, as if he saw her just after graduation, also wearing light pink clothes, neither tacky nor innocently attractive.

He missed her these days, desperately wanting to see her, but when he actually met her, he wanted to run away.

His recent feelings were perfectly reflected in his actions.

His throat was dry, and he unconsciously licked his lips. His eyes were deep.

Molly looked at him, and thought about his true identity. Her heart felt like it was being pressed by a boulder.

Even though she knew he was Michael Gallagher, they acted like strangers, insincere and polite. How ironic.

She took out an invitation from her bag and handed it to him: “The day after tomorrow is my engagement banquet with Jeremy Norman. Mr. Jenkins is welcome to attend with a female companion.”

Zachary’s body was as cold as ice, and his long, slender eyes were full of coldness.

He casually glanced at the invitation and felt a pain in his heart as if it was being cut by a knife.

If he was Michael Gallagher, he could tear this invitation to shreds.

But now he was Zachary Jenkins, and he had no reason to refuse this invitation.

Molly held the invitation in her hand, suspended in the air. The situation was at a standstill for a moment.

She wasn’t angry either, her lips curling into a gentle smile, and just as she was about to take back the invitation, Zachary quickly took it.

“I will attend on time and will not bring a female companion.” He looked deeply at her, “Except for her, no one else is qualified to be my companion.”

Molly’s heart started pounding, but she quickly suppressed it.

Give up, Molly, do you think he’s talking about you?

Even if his relationship with Isabelle Richardson is just an act, what about Violet Summers? And the many other women who have had scandals with him? It couldn’t all be playacting.

Her fluttering heart was ruthlessly suppressed.

Molly smiled brightly, “Welcome, Mr. Jenkins.”

Her smiling face was like a blooming flower, gentle yet resolute.

Michael Gallagher’s breathing hitched, his eyes falling on her slightly protruding belly, and his heart feeling parched.

The baby in her stomach was his, and now, she was going to marry another man.

Did she really intend to have the child call someone else ‘father’?

Feeling like shackles were tightening around his heart, Michael Gallagher’s eyes became frighteningly dark.

“Mr. Jenkins, I have some work to do, so I’ll go now.”

“Where? I’ll take you.”

Knowing that she was a toxic flower, he couldn’t help but want to get closer.

Molly Walker slightly lifts her chin, her mouth curving into a light smile, as tender and persistent as rain in southern China.

“I’m going to the police station to see Xavier Gallagher. Since Mr. Jenkins is so enthusiastic, let me trouble you to take me there.”

Upon hearing the words “Xavier Gallagher,” Zachary Jenkins’s pupils contracted slightly.

This subtle expression didn’t escape Molly Walker’s eyes.

She knew Xavier Gallagher was sent to the police station, and without thinking further, she figured he had sent his own brother to prison.

After her investigation, Molly learned that Xavier had planned to terminate Zachary’s organ transplantation, but his plan was exposed and he ended up behind bars instead of Zachary.

“If it’s troublesome for you, Mr. Jenkins, I’ll go there myself.” Thinking about the relationship between Zachary and Xavier, Molly quickly added another sentence.

Earlier, she indeed felt resentment and wanted to provoke him, but when she thought about what Xavier had done over the years, she felt some regret.

“It’s not troublesome,” Michael said as he looked deeply into her eyes. “I’ll take you.”

Molly Walker opened her mouth to say something but decided to merely nod her head.

The two didn’t speak on the way, and Zachary didn’t even ask which police station Xavier was at. Instead, he drove straight to the one where Xavier was.

On the way, Molly could sense his melancholy.

She intended to get back at him, but when the moment came, she couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless.

She knew that Xavier held a special place in Michael’s heart. This deep-rooted pain he felt at the fall of someone he had once admired, missed, and respected must have cut to the bone.

Molly bit her lip as a sudden pain throbbed in her lower belly.

“What’s wrong?” Michael quickly pulled the car to the side of the road, sensing her discomfort.

Shaking her head, Molly weakly responded, “It’s nothing.”

“Are you hungry?” he asked, “Even if you’re not, the baby in your belly might be.”

After being silent for a few seconds, Molly recalled that she hadn’t eaten breakfast and that it was already lunchtime, so she may indeed be hungry.

Soon after, Michael opened the car door and looked at her. “Get out.”

There were some restaurants right across from the police station.

After some thought, Molly clenched her teeth and surrendered to her appetite.

She had to get a shot to stabilize the pregnancy every day, and her baby indeed couldn’t stand hunger.

As she and Michael entered the restaurant, another car happened to park right in front of the entrance.

“Jeremy, isn’t that Ivy?” In the car, Jeremy Norman’s mother spotted the person who had just entered, her eyes sharp.

Upon seeing the two people who had just walked in side by side, Jeremy gripped the steering wheel tightly. “No, Mom, you must be mistaken.”

“Mistaken?” Jeremy’s mother shrieked, “I have perfect eyesight! I would recognize Ivy Thompson even if she was incinerated! She’s practically engaged to you, and now she’s on a date with another man! No way, open the door! I need to get out!”

“What are you trying to do?” Jeremy asked with a touch of impatience in his calm voice, “We’re here to eat, not make a scene. Grandma will be here soon, don’t let her see any jokes.”

“Jokes? You’re also afraid of family members seeing jokes? Doesn’t Ivy Thompson care about you when she’s seen in public with other men!” Jeremy’s mother shook with anger. “Jeremy, we come from a proper family; we can’t let others walk all over us!”

Originally, Ivy Thompson, a pregnant woman like her, shouldn’t be welcome in their Norman family. If it wasn’t for her son’s affection and the Thompson family’s background, she wouldn’t have agreed to it at all.

It would have been acceptable if Ivy had behaved, and at worst, they would have just taken it as charity, raising someone else’s child. But now! She’s blatantly making her son a cuckold! What is this?!

“Open the door! I want to get out!” Jeremy’s mother grabbed the car’s back door, angrily pounding it. “If we don’t catch them cheating today, she could make you a cuckold again someday! If you don’t let me out today, I’ll kill myself in the car!”
