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

Nicholas Thompson remained silent.

Fights only lead to internal friction; he did not understand why Daniel was so happy.

Daniel gently patted the back of his hand, chuckling, “Nicholas, Ivy forgave me. She doesn’t blame me for what I did before.”

Nicholas Thompson: “…”

Seeing Nicholas didn’t respond, Daniel didn’t mind, “I realized only after I got seriously ill that family is the most important. To tell you the truth, the moment Ivy reconciled with me, I felt at ease. After I got this sickness, I couldn’t eat or sleep well, but since she forgave me, my mood has improved a lot.”

“Whether she takes our last name or not, I just care about her as a person. As long as she recognizes me as her father, I can give her anything.”

When he heard that Molly Walker had forgiven Daniel Thompson, Nicholas Thompson felt as though his heart was tied up with a rope, struggling for breath.

It turned out that Molly Walker wouldn’t hate someone forever; she could also forgive people.

She could forgive Violet Summers, forgive Michael Gallagher, and even forgive Daniel Thompson, but she just wouldn’t forgive him.

Thinking of the gift he hadn’t sent yet still lying close to his heart, Nicholas felt unbearably hot.

Daniel didn’t notice his abnormality. He continued proudly, “By the way, bring your brother over. I’m going to transfer all my shares in the company to Ivy, all under her name. And my collection, she’s always liked those things. Give them all to her.”

When he heard him saying he would give all his collections to Molly, Gillian Thompson’s face changed drastically.

For years, Daniel loved collecting various auction items. Any of those items would fetch a high price if casually put up for sale.

Previously, Daniel said he would give everything to her, so why was he giving it all to Molly now?

Nicholas saw Gillian’s face turn pale, and she almost couldn’t stand. In the end, he couldn’t help but remind his father, “Dad, you initially said that you would give those few famous paintings to Gillian.”

Actually, Daniel really meant to give all his collections to Gillian after his death.

But since Daniel was talking about giving everything to Ivy, it showed he had a different idea. Even if Gillian couldn’t get all the things, there was still hope to hold onto those few paintings she loved most.

Daniel looked up at Gillian.

Gillian tried to hold back her tears as she said, “This is Daddy’s possession, so he can give it to whoever he wants. There’s no need to worry about me.”

Although this is what she said, deep down she hoped.

She wished that Daniel would remember his promise to her and at least leave something for her.

But Daniel was destined to disappoint her.

“Gillian, it’s not that I’m biased. You are about to get married soon; you don’t need these. As a designer, these collections can exert their biggest value only in Ivy’s hands,” Daniel said this and paused, “If you like those paintings, you can ask from Ivy after she gets them.”

Ask Molly Walker for items?

Gillian’s fair face turned even redder.

Let alone whether Molly would give them or not, there was no way she would ask for items from Molly.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Nicholas didn’t expect that, even after saying all these, Daniel still wanted to give everything to Molly.

Daniel has always been biased; he used to protect Gillian much, and now he was so extremely fond of this Fourth Sister.

“Thank you, Daddy, I don’t need them.” Gillian took a deep breath, maintaining her image, “It’s getting dark. Second Brother, you can go home without worry. Ethan and I can take care of him.”

“You two will take care of him?” Nicholas seemed surprised, “Where are the caregivers?”

Gillian gave an awkward smile, “The caregiver is hired by Fourth Sister, but she’s already asked them to leave. It’s okay; Ethan and I can handle it.”

Gillian stuttered, but Nicholas heard the implied meaning.

He didn’t expect that the caregiver was hired by Ivy Thompson, but she made the caregiver leave and left Gillian and Ethan Hopkins to take care of his father. This was clearly bullying!

A surge of anger rushed to his head, and Nicholas’ face darkened, “Dad’s illness is not a joke. You two leave. I’ll deal with the caregiver issue.”

Daniel Thompson’s illness was not minor; it could worsen at any time. With Gillian and Ethan Hopkins here, he simply couldn’t feel at ease.

Ignoring their lack of caregiving experience, Gillian’s pregnant body was not suitable for looking after someone.

“Second Brother, I’ve promised Daddy and Fourth Sister that I’ll help here, so don’t worry about it. Ethan and I can handle this. Rest assured; we will take good care of Daddy.” Gillian tried to smile pleasingly, “You helped Ethan with the project; it’s only fair we help in return.”

Mentioning the project, Nicholas was taken aback.

Molly Walker had explicitly reminded him not to give the project to Ethan Hopkins.

Thinking of that photo, Nicholas’s anger gradually subsided. He looked at Ethan Hopkins and narrowed his eyes, “You two, come with me.”

He had been suspicious about the matter of the photo.

He had investigated Ethan Hopkins, but found his emotional history was almost blank. If there had been a few relationships, it could be plausible, but a blank emotional history and the unique affection for Gillian made him feel something was off.

A person being too clean often implies the opposite.

Gillian and Ethan Hopkins looked at each other in dismay. Ethan Hopkins said something in Gillian’s ear, and she suddenly understood.

The two followed Nicholas Thompson out together. Only when they were out of Daniel Thompson’s sight and hearing did Nicholas start to speak, “What’s the deal with that Liliana Leaford?”

Gillian Thompson glanced at Ethan Hopkins, then quickly explained, “Second Brother, she’s my schoolmate. Did you hear some rumors? Don’t believe Molly Walker; she’s trying to stir up trouble. She just doesn’t want you to help Ethan.”

Nicholas didn’t utter a word, his brows furrowed tightly.

“I know that girl. Don’t worry, Second Brother. If Ethan did have an affair, I would be the first to not spare him,” she assured him with great certitude.

But after saying this, she was a little puzzled. Although Liliana Leaford was indeed her schoolmate, she didn’t have much impression of her.

She believed whatever Ethan Hopkins said.

Photos can be staged, and rumors can be fabricated. She had no other thoughts now, except wanting Ethan Hopkins to take over the project.

“Are you sure this girl and Ethan Hopkins are not related?” Nicholas took out his cell phone and passed the photo to her, “Gillian, these actions and the girl’s facial expression don’t seem fake.”

Seeing the picture in his phone, Ethan Hopkins’ eyelid twitched violently.

A photo, Molly Walker actually took a photo!

Seeing Gillian’s hand flipping through the photo back and forth and zooming in and out, Ethan Hopkins felt his heart shrink.

Gillian started to study the girl’s look and Ethan Hopkins’ gaze according to what Nicholas said.

The girl seems to be playfully scolding, and Ethan Hopkins looks loving, it does not seem to be fake.

Gillian held back her discomfort and scrolled through each photo; the more she looked, the more alarmed she became.
