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

Gillian Thompson’s smile gradually stiffened, her eyes widened, and her voice tightened, “You mean, that person is Emma Smith?”

“Yes, she also has to be here today for work. She happens to be in this hotel, and she’ll be here soon. I’ll invite her to come meet everyone, so she can testify that you really are part of ‘W’ and didn’t deceive us.”

Hearing this, everyone’s anticipation was piqued again.

The bespectacled man’s words reminded them that what Gillian said might not be true.

She claimed to be from “W,” yet she didn’t know about the changes to the rules within the company. She seemed more like an outsider; who knew if she was bragging or not.

“If there are no objections, I’ll invite her over.” The bespectacled man adjusted his glasses, just about to stand up when Gillian Thompson stopped him.

“Wait a minute!” Gillian Thompson smiled awkwardly, “This is our class reunion; there is no need to involve unrelated people.”

“I’m busy later and don’t have time to meet so many people. After eating this meal with everyone, I have to go.”

“We’re all in the same circle, so what’s there to be afraid of? I just spoke with Emma Smith, and she said she’ll be here soon.” The bespectacled man smirked, “Oh, right, she said your sister is also here and will come over together.”

Her sister?

Molly Walker?

Why is she here too?!

Gillian Thompson’s face turned pale, her heart pounding rapidly.

It was one thing for Emma Smith to come, but why was Molly Walker here too?

She attended a class reunion where she didn’t want to see the people she least wanted to encounter!

“Gillian Thompson is right; this is our class reunion. There’s no need to involve unrelated people.”

Ethan Hopkins stepped in to ease the tension; Gillian Thompson’s face was full of gratitude.

Hearing Ethan Hopkins help her, the others understood. Since Ethan Hopkins had spoken, they lost the interest to bicker with him, but they could see that Ethan Hopkins was intentionally protecting Gillian Thompson.

A few female classmates were a bit jealous, not expecting that Ethan Hopkins would still be willing to help Gillian Thompson even after she had fallen so low.

The bespectacled man saw that Ethan Hopkins was speaking for her, so he gave a light laugh and ignored him.

Ethan Hopkins’ intentions were too obvious; he would help Gillian Thompson even if he knew she was lying. It was clear that his motives were impure.

“Ethan Hopkins, I heard that your family’s business has encountered some problems recently; is it true?”

“Ah, something happened to Hopkins’s family? I haven’t heard.”

“How is it? Is it serious? Do you need everyone’s help?”

…

Ethan Hopkins’s gentle face briefly stiffened before returning to normal, “It’s nothing serious; it’s already resolved. Thank you, everyone.”

Gillian Thompson blinked thoughtfully.

She remembered that Ethan Hopkins’s family owned a small company with fewer than a hundred employees, but it was quite profitable. If anything happened, bankruptcy was a possibility.

After the reunion, Gillian Thompson took the initiative to exchange contact information with Ethan Hopkins.

“If you need help, you can find me. Although I am no longer with the Thompson family, my second brother is still there. He can help if there’s anything.” Gillian Thompson said earnestly. She wanted to mention “W” but thought about her identity in the company and eventually held back.

If Ethan Hopkins asks her for help and she fails to deliver, he would undoubtedly be disappointed in her.

Thinking about this, Gillian Thompson was startled.

Why did she care so much about what Ethan Hopkins thought?

Ethan Hopkins’s voice was gentle, reassuringly saying to her, “Thank you. In fact, I’m still the same as before; nothing has changed.”

Gillian Thompson’s face turned red immediately.

Back in college, Ethan Hopkins had a crush on her and even subtly confessed his feelings. However, because of the disparity in their family backgrounds, she knew that Daniel Thompson would not agree, so she never accepted his pursuit.

As luck would have it, she was now the one who didn’t match up to him.

But compared to Jeremy Norman, Ethan Hopkins was indeed the most suitable for her.

What she couldn’t obtain from Jeremy Norman, she could get from Ethan Hopkins. She was heartbroken by Jeremy Norman, and because of this, she suddenly realized that it’s better to find someone who loves her instead of someone she loves.

Ethan Hopkins’s words subtly hinted at his feelings, and Gillian Thompson shyly lowered her head.

At the hotel entrance, Molly Walker and Emma Smith happened to be walking in together. When they saw the two people standing at the staircase, Molly Walker hesitated for a moment.

Emma Smith also saw Gillian Thompson.

“Is that… Gillian Thompson’s love interest?”

Seeing Ethan Hopkins, Molly Walker had no expression. As long as Gillian Thompson didn’t have any ill intentions, she didn’t care who she was with.

As she looked towards Gillian Thompson, Gillian Thompson also happened to look over and see her.

Gillian Thompson’s eyes widened, “Molly…Fourth Sister!”

Thinking of the person standing next to her, Gillian Thompson immediately corrected herself.

Even if the whole world knew she and Molly Walker didn’t get along, she didn’t want those around her to know.

Since finding out about Molly Walker’s identity within “W,” she developed a strange feeling towards her: jealousy, hatred, and an urge to become her.

Hearing Gillian Thompson’s words “Fourth Sister,” Molly Walker tugged at the corner of her lips and sneered.

“Fourth Sister, thank you for arranging my job at W. I’ll be reporting there next week, and I promise not to let you down.”

Molly Walker struggled not to laugh out loud.

No wonder it was Gillian Thompson; she really knew when to bow and when to fight back. She originally wanted her to back down, but she didn’t expect her to climb up the pole instead.

Seeing Ethan Hopkins’s surprised gaze, Molly Walker immediately understood that Gillian Thompson purposely said those words to save face for herself.

She sneered with hooked lips, and before she could speak, Ethan Hopkins had already come over.

“Are you Gillian Thompson’s sister, Ivy Thompson? I’m her classmate, Ethan Hopkins; I’ve heard so much about you.” Ethan Hopkins’s eyes shone, his voice trembling with barely contained excitement.

Seeing his excitement, a sense of loss flashed through Gillian Thompson’s eyes.

Molly Walker glanced at his outstretched hand, nodded slightly, then ignored Gillian Thompson and walked upstairs with Emma Smith.

Today was the quarterly meeting for “W.” The location was set at this hotel. She and Emma Smith happened to meet on the way, so they headed over together.

She was busy, so naturally, she didn’t have time to worry about Gillian Thompson and her classmates.

Being ignored, Ethan Hopkins withdrew his hand with a wounded expression, looking awkward.

“Don’t mind her; she’s always like this.” Gillian Thompson, filled with anger and nowhere to release it, sneered a sentence.

Ethan Hopkins smiled gently, “It’s alright. It’s only natural for her to have this attitude since she doesn’t know me.”

Fourth daughter of the Thompson family and Michael Gallagher’s ex-wife, there were countless people who sought to curry favor with her. It was only reasonable that she didn’t want to bother with him, especially after all, he was nothing now.

If he becomes Gillian Thompson’s husband, things would be different. She wouldn’t stand to see her brother-in-law’s family go bankrupt, would she? As long as the Thompson family helps out, his company can be saved.

Gillian Thompson didn’t know what he was thinking. Seeing him staring at Molly Walker’s back, she felt annoyed, “You’re not falling for her, are you? Don’t get any ideas about her; she belongs to Michael Gallagher.”
