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

Molly Walker remained silent, exchanging a glance with Grace Harrison.

“Let’s go out and eat something. Today, I specifically asked the chef to prepare the most famous tea snacks from our family…”

Having dealt with Gillian Thompson’s troubles, Grace’s heart was indescribably happy.

In the past, she could only be bullied by Gillian Thompson. She never thought there would be a day when she could hold her head high and breathe freely, albeit relying on her family. Still, having something to rely on is not bad…

If she could make Gillian Thompson suffer, then she wouldn’t mind being a parasite.

…

At the entrance of the banquet, Ethan Hopkins walked in with a good mood and spotted a red-eyed Gillian Thompson right away.

He had planned not to come today because of work, but he was worried and decided to follow her.

He didn’t expect to see Gillian Thompson like this when he walked in.

Ethan frowned, fearing his worries would be confirmed: “What happened?”

His tone was somewhat impatient.

Seeing him, Gillian Thompson was startled and thought of what had happened today, her heart pounding fast.

“Why are you here?”

“I was worried about you, so I came to check on you.”

“I think you’re not here to see me, but your childhood sweetheart, right?” Thinking of Grace Harrison’s identity, Gillian Thompson couldn’t help but mock.

“This is the Tian family’s place, what nonsense are you talking about?!” Ethan furrowed his brow, not knowing what had gotten into Gillian Thompson’s head.

Just then, Ethan’s phone was ringing.

Gillian Thompson saw that it was Ethan’s mother’s call, snatched it hastily, and hung up.

This series of movements, done in one breath, and after completing them, Gillian Thompson’s heart tightened.

“That was my mom’s call, Gillian Thompson, do you know what you’re doing?!” Ethan felt annoyed and sharply scolded her.

Gillian Thompson was nervous inside, but with a calm appearance, she hooked her arm around Ethan’s, coquettishly saying: “I… I have something to tell you, call Aunt back in a while.”

Ethan was suspicious, but seeing that the call had already been hung up, and his mother hadn’t called back, he eventually listened to Gillian Thompson.

Gillian Thompson was just about to exaggerate the events of today, but before she could speak, she saw Grace Harrison approaching her excitedly.

Gillian Thompson’s eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly tried to pull Ethan away, only to be stopped by Grace: “Gillian Thompson, why haven’t you left yet?”

Ethan saw the princess dress-wearing Grace, looking like a fairy, and his eyebrows raised: “Who is this?.”

Seeing Ethan’s gaze glued to Grace and recalling his past with Grace, Gillian Thompson felt jealous: “Ethan, I have urgent matters, please accompany me out first.”

If she let Ethan continue to stay, she would probably lose any chance to explain herself.

Ethan looked at Grace and then at Gillian Thompson, suddenly laughing: “Gillian, you haven’t introduced her yet. Why does this young lady want you to leave?”

“Because she is not welcome here.” Grace’s voice was soft, but it was sharp enough. “Gillian Thompson, would you like to leave on your own, or do I have to ask the security guards to drive you away?”

“Young lady, who are you? There are so many guests at the Tian family’s party, what right do you have to ask her to leave?” Ethan initially felt some goodwill towards her as her face looked familiar, but Grace’s rude words made him feel anger as well. “My girlfriend’s family name is Thompson. You should know the Nanyang Thompson family, right? Although everyone here today is a distinguished guest, aren’t you afraid of offending the Thompson family by talking like this?”

“Yeah, young lady, what you said really hurts someone’s feelings. Everyone here today has a certain status, it’s not good for you to ask the security guards to drive someone away.” A bystander, who was watching the scene, spoke up for Gillian Thompson.

They knew Gillian Thompson, but not Grace Harrison.

The Tian family had protected Grace incredibly well. No one at the party knew Grace’s identity before the Tian family officially introduced her.

But they did know Gillian Thompson’s identity.

Although it was rumored that the relationship between Gillian Thompson and the Thompson family was not good, the relationships among the upper class were always subtle, and sometimes they wouldn’t break ties for the sake of saving face.

At this time, it was nice to do Gillian Thompson a favor.

As soon as one person spoke up, everyone started pointing fingers at Grace Harrison.

“Today, the Tian family is hosting, and who are you, young lady? You’re causing trouble here. I think it’s not her who should leave, but you.”

“Yes, miss, you’d better apologize to Gillian Thompson. You can’t afford to offend the Thompson family. I heard that there’s Molly Walker backing her, a descendant of Stephen Crane.”

“Offending the Thompson family means offending Stephen Crane.”

Hearing these people’s words, the unhappiness in Ethan Hopkins’ heart vanished instantly.

Even if the relationship between Gillian Thompson and Ivy Thompson was not good, as long as they had the surname “Thompson,” Gillian could always use the power of the Thompson family to do many things…

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Ethan Hopkins’ eyes.

Before, he always thought of relying on Gillian and the Thompson family to establish a relationship, but seeing everyone’s praise for the Thompsons, he realized that even being associated with this surname could bring many benefits.

That means they could use this to negotiate terms and collaborations with others.

They didn’t necessarily have to work directly with the Thompson family.

Unexpectedly, the people around were helping her, which left Gillian both surprised and delighted.

Seeing that Grace Harrison was about to get angry, Gillian Thompson decided to quit while she’s ahead, pulling Ethan Hopkins to leave: “Let’s go, Ethan. This is the entrance; let’s not block it.”

After all, this was the Tian family’s place, and Gillian Thompson knew when to stop.

Ethan Hopkins saw that Gillian wanted to leave urgently and sensed an unusual atmosphere. He finally nodded and led her away quickly.

After they left, Grace Harrison’s pale face finally looked better.

Actually, in the face of Gillian Thompson, she still felt a certain fear – a crushing feeling in terms of family background.

Even though her parents were very rich, the pressure Gillian had put on her at the beginning was still present. She had used up all her strength just now to say those few words.

As for the comments of the people around her, she didn’t care at all.

After all, as long as Gillian didn’t change her surname, she would always be part of the Thompson family, a fact that no one could change.

Thinking about the relationship between Gillian Thompson and Xie Yizhe, Grace Harrison’s eyes fell.

Facing these people’s pointing and whispering, Grace Harrison clenched her teeth.

She wanted to see the expressions on their faces when her parents would announce her identity later.

Thinking of this, Grace Harrison took a deep breath and turned to leave.

…

At this time, Molly Walker was waiting for Michael Gallagher.

Michael Gallagher went to pick up Amanda Leaford and brought Natalie Lambert and Zoey Lambert along with him.

As soon as these people appeared, the spotlight was on them, attracting everyone’s attention.

Natalie Lambert and Zoey Lambert were dressed in high-end trailing long dresses, while Amanda Leaford wore a fragrant cloud gauze traditional cheongsam. Her long hair was twisted into a bun, revealing her slender neck and giving off the air of a woman in her thirties with an aristocratic bearing.

Michael Gallagher wore a navy blue suit, his hand naturally drooping down, revealing a string of low-key luxurious Buddha beads. With a faint smile on his face, he looked like ice that had already melted, showing its most stunning side.

This melting iceberg quickly spotted the person he was looking for.

He hurried to Molly Walker’s side in two steps, his eyes twinkling: “Molly.”

This affectionate appearance made the ladies around them envious.

A handsome man like him, whose eyes were entirely filled with another, was rare among the wealthy. More often than not, relationships in this circle revolved around interests, and true love was rare.

But this man’s eyes were filled with love, as if he couldn’t wait to present her with the best things in the world… It was so precious!
