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

Mr. Jenkins spoke with conviction, but Stephen Crane remained silent.

Mr. Jenkins continued, “Do you think I asked you to dig up dirt on her out of nowhere? I can’t let her hubris go unchecked. She and my grandson have already divorced, but they still can’t let go of each other. She encourages my grandson not to return home. I can’t accept such a granddaughter-in-law. Stephen, I’ve been your friend for so many years, and there are some things I won’t lie to you about. It’s best if you keep your distance from the Leafords and the Thompson family, so you won’t be taken advantage of.”

Stephen Crane spoke with indifference, “Molly’s last name is Walker.”

“She’s still part of the family…” Mr. Jenkins said, then shuddered, “Stephen, what do you mean by that?”

“She is Holly Walker’s adopted daughter.”

Mr. Jenkins suddenly fell silent.

Holly Walker was Stephen Crane’s first love and the woman he had been thinking about for a lifetime.

Never in a million years did he expect that Molly was adopted by Holly Walker.

“Isn’t her grandmother called Sophia Walker?”

Mr. Jenkins was confused.

He had investigated Molly’s background and found she was adopted by an old lady who collected trash named Sophia Walker.

“How could her grandmother be Holly, just a trash collector… ”

In his memory, Holly Walker’s family background was not bad, it was a scholarly family, so it would be impossible for her to be reduced to collecting trash.

Hearing the words “trash collector,” Mr. Jenkins became even more heartbroken.

To avoid him, Holly was willing to change her name and identity, even if it meant collecting trash, rather than being found by him.

For all these years, she got her wish and successfully left a mark on his heart.

Mr. Jenkins was dizzy from the news.

Ivy Thompson had actually been adopted by Holly Walker, so…

“Stephen, what… what are your plans now?”

“I plan to give all my property to Molly.”

Mr. Jenkins took a sharp breath, and his hand trembled as he nearly dropped his cell phone.

“All your property… to her?”

“Yes.” Stephen Crane didn’t hide from his old friend, “From now on, she is my granddaughter.”

Remembering Mr. Jenkins’ earlier evaluation of Molly, Stephen Crane sneered, “From now on, if you bully her, you are bullying me.”

Mr. Jenkins’ eyes widened, and his lips trembled, followed by a shiver throughout his body.

He never imagined that in just a few days, Molly would become Stephen Crane’s “granddaughter.”

“Stephen… is it… could there be a mistake? Molly doesn’t look like someone Holly Walker would adopt. Holly’s character wouldn’t allow her to pick up trash… there must be a mistake.”

Each of Mr. Jenkins’ words struck Stephen Crane’s heart.

“Our investigations are never wrong,” Stephen Crane said, frowning unhappily. “That’s how it is. Believe it or not, that’s up to you. I’ve already said what I need to say, so the incident where you dug up dirt on her can be put aside. I made a mistake as well, but in the future, I don’t want you targeting this girl again.”

Mr. Jenkins remained silent.

He knew his old friend was angry, and might even blame him for the dirt-digging incident.

However, on second thought, Molly inheriting Stephen Crane’s property rekindled certain ideas in his heart.

With the Thompson family, Leaford family, and now Stephen Crane behind her, Molly’s fortune was increasing considerably.

And with the baby Molly had carried for the Gallagher family gone, once Michael returns to the Jenkins family and marries her, any future child will belong to the Jenkins family, not the Gallagher family.

At this point, Mr. Jenkins suddenly found the name Molly pleasing to the ear.

Since Stephen Crane was giving all his property to Molly, she would now be a worthy match for his grandson.

“Don’t worry, since she’s your granddaughter, she’s my granddaughter too. She and Michael love each other, so I won’t stand in their way anymore. We should just join forces and become one big happy family.”

Though they were far apart, Stephen Crane could hear the sound of Mr. Jenkins calculating through the phone.

But he couldn’t control Molly’s choice. If the two children were really meant to be together, he would naturally bless them.

Once he was sure Mr. Jenkins would no longer make things difficult for Molly, Stephen Crane hung up the phone.

As soon as Mr. Jenkins hung up, he hastily sent a message to Michael Gallagher: You can start making arrangements for your remarriage to Molly as soon as possible.

Before Michael could reply, the housekeeper hurriedly came in.

“Mr. Jenkins, young master Jerry hasn’t been released on bail…”

“Weren’t they saying there was insufficient evidence?” Mr. Jenkins rubbed his brow, “What happened?”

“A university student named Grace Harrison said she witnessed young master Jerry raping Zoey Lambert.” The housekeeper’s face was bitter; when Jerry was a fool, he was easier to deal with and didn’t cause trouble. But as soon as his mind cleared, he committed such heinous acts. The housekeeper struggled to understand.

As the housekeeper of the Jenkins family, he took the salary from Mr. Jenkins, but also took a salary from Zachary Jenkins.

All he could hope for was that once young master Jenkins took over the family, he would stop doing such things.

This Jerry Jenkins was truly a disgrace to the Jenkins family.

Exposed for doing such brazen, shameless acts, it was truly humiliating.

“It’s just a university student. Send someone to talk to her teacher and, if necessary, have someone threaten her as well,” Mr. Jenkins dismissed casually.

The university student would surely relent under the threat of expulsion and having it on their record.

Ten years of hard work; no one would want to bury their college career.

Hearing Mr. Jenkins’ words, the housekeeper could not help but twitch.

His own daughter was also attending college, and he suddenly held Mr. Jenkins’ methods in disdain.

Mr. Jenkins might not be skilled in many things, but he certainly knew how to threaten people.

But as the housekeeper of the Jenkins family, he had to do even the most despicable things. If he didn’t, Mr. Jenkins would have him replaced.

He could only hope that the girl named Grace Harrison had a strong backing, otherwise, once Mr. Jenkins made a move, there would be no way for Grace to refuse.

Capital City University.

After Grace and her roommate returned to their dormitory, her roommate, Alicia, clutched her chest, still in shock.

“Grace, will we be retaliated against by the Jenkins family?”

The Jenkins family was so influential in Capital City, and it was unclear whether their actions accusing Jerry Jenkins would lead to retaliation from the Jenkins family.

Thinking of Jerry’s cold gaze, Alicia shuddered.

“No, we just did the right thing. They can’t touch us.” Grace held Alicia’s hand, her heart pounding.

It seemed like none of the people in the Jenkins family were good people.

At that moment, the dorm manager came in and knocked on the dormitory door, “Grace Harrison, Alicia Taylor, the headmaster wants to see you.”

The headmaster?

Grace and Alicia looked at each other, wondering why the headmaster would suddenly want to see them…
