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

Chapter 100: If we win, it’s yours; if we lose, I’ll bear the burden

“What did you say?” Aaron Howard widened his ears and narrowed his eyes,

“Did I hear that right? You want me to add four thousand five hundred?”

He then looked at Elizabeth Aitken and sneered, “Where did you find this friend, someone who loves daydreaming as much as you?”

He had liked Molly Walker at first glance, but when it came to money, even the most likable people could become unlikable.

“Get out of here. I don’t give a damn about the exchange, and you want me to pay extra, treating me like a fool!” He waved his hand impatiently, “Forget adding four thousand five hundred dollars, I don’t even have three bucks. I’m in debt.”

As soon as his words fell, Bella Howard immediately spoke up, fearing that

Molly and her friends might leave, “It’s just four thousand five hundred, right? I have it! I have it!”

Four thousand five hundred, that’s just how much she had in savings.

Let alone adding four thousand five hundred, even if they added another four thousand five hundred, they would still be earning.

The house could sell for a maximum of fifteen thousand dollars, and Elizabeth Aitken’s house, when sold right away, would be worth tens of thousands of dollars. This exchange would be a guaranteed profit!

They couldn’t pass up such an opportunity.

Worried her younger brother would say something else, Bella Howard approached Elizabeth Aitken and said warmly, “We will sign the contract for four thousand five hundred dollars, and let’s get this done tomorrow.”

Maybe fearing they would change their minds, Bella Howard immediately took out a pen and paper, signing the contract.

Molly glanced at the contents, then filled in some details. Bella didn’t look closely, just laughing and finalizing the contract with her signature.

Aaron Howard didn’t say anything else in opposition, as long as he didn’t have to pay the money, everything else was negotiable.

The house belonged to both him and his sister, and she had more money than him. He knew he needed her support in the future, so he didn’t say anything else against it.

Watching the contract exchange, Elizabeth felt her palms sweating, her heart pounding.

Seeing her best friend’s calm demeanor, Elizabeth took a deep breath, put away the contract, and said to them, “We’ll sign the contract tomorrow, move out the day after tomorrow. I’ll go home and discuss this with my family tonight.”

Her father, younger brother, and sister were unaware of this matter, and she needed to go back and let them know.

“Do you need me to accompany you?” Molly knew that Elizabeth’s father had always been strict, and if he found out she had exchanged houses privately, there might be a fight.

Elizabeth shook her head and smiled bitterly, “Don’t worry, Molly. They all rely on me for their livelihood now. I have the final say on major matters.”

Hearing these words, Molly’s heart ached.

As the eldest in her family, Elizabeth carried the most significant responsibility.

But as long as they could get through this hardship, things would improve.

Hearing that Elizabeth needed to discuss with her family, Bella grew anxious and kept pushing, “Why do you need to talk about it…Elizabeth, the contract clearly states that if you back out, the contract penalty is ten times the value of your house…”

Ten times, that would be not tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This was her way of making sure Elizabeth wouldn’t change her mind overnight.

Elizabeth glanced at her and laughed coldly, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word.”

Once everything was settled, Molly walked with Elizabeth to the entrance of the alley. Noticing the curious neighbors watching them, Molly suddenly spoke, “If we had the money, we could buy the house next to Aaron Howard too.”

Elizabeth stopped and looked at her.

“I can lend you the money,” Molly smiled at her, “As long as you’re brave enough.”

A gust of wind blew by, lifting Elizabeth’s short hair.

The slight chill made her heart race even more.

Borrow money to buy a house?

Since the conversation had come this far, if she still didn’t understand, it would mean she was quite stupid.

Jake Leaford had said that Molly had been taken back by the Thompson family.

What did the Thompson family do? They were investors, especially in property and finance, and had accumulated considerable wealth.

Now that Molly was a part of the Thompson family, she must know many insider secrets. And these secrets couldn’t be directly revealed. No wonder Molly asked if Elizabeth wanted to trust her.

She looked at Molly and hesitated, “Can I trust you?”

Can she trust her?

Molly smiled, “Yes, this time, the win is yours, the loss is mine.”

Elizabeth smiled.

She knew this was their unspoken friendship.

With Mollys remark, she would try to convince her family today, no matter what.

After Elizabeth Aitken left, Molly had already finished investigating what needed to be investigated here.

The car that had brought her here was not far away, and she purposely waited until Elizabeth had left before she walked in this direction.

She didn’t want her changed identity to pressure Elizabeth.

As she walked in this direction, someone bumped into her head-on.

Seeing her, the person shuddered all over and immediately turned to run away.

Molly was also stunned.

Although she had only shown her face for a few seconds after changing her hairstyle and outfit, she recognized her at a glance!

The caregiver, her grandmother’s caregiver!

The caregiver had lied due to the power of Isabelle’s family back then, but now her identity had changed, and the caregiver might change her mind.

If she continued to let it go, it wouldn’t be impossible for Isabelle to silence the caregiver again.

As the caregiver ran forward, she pursued her frantically.

At this moment, a car drove towards her, and Molly’s mind went blank for a moment as she stood there dazedly.

The car lights flashed, and a force grabbed her, throwing her to the ground.

Her head hit the man’s chest hard, like a solid wall, his muscles strong and firm, not hurting when she hit him, hard yet soft.

Molly blinked her eyes, momentarily confused.

The car roared past, and the truck driver opened the window and cursed at them, “Are you trying to die! Damn it, you scared the shit out of me!”

The driver cursed and left.

Seeing the truck at a distance, Molly shuddered all over.

“Are you alright?” The person touched her forehead.

This gesture reminded Molly of her grandmother touching her head every time she fell, saying that people have three fires, and touching the forehead could make the forehead flame more vigorous.

“Thank…” She looked up to say thank you, but her words stalled for a moment.

He tilted his head to look at her, his nose high, skin fair, long eyelashes covering his clear eyes, thin lips tightly pursed, his face showing worry and panic.

“What are you doing here?” She asked the question and then remembered that Damian had said that the Gallagher family had also sent someone to investigate.

She didn’t expect Michael Gallagher to come personally.

Looking in the direction of the fleeing caregiver, she wanted to continue chasing but found that her foot was twisted.

She grabbed Michael Gallagher’s arm and said firmly, “Help me, we can’t let her get away.”

The caregiver must not have gone far yet, and she didn’t want to give up, even if the person in front of her was Michael Gallagher, she still wanted to give it a try.

The caregiver was the key to avenging her grandmother.

Michael Gallagher narrowed his eyes, looking at the direction the person had fled, frowned, and seeing Molly’s tense expression, squinted his eyes. This was the first time Molly had asked for his help since their divorce. He raised his eyebrows and told the approaching bodyguards, “Go after her, don’t let her escape.”

Watching the bodyguards go after her.

Molly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn’t bring that watch today, otherwise, she wouldn’t have to bother him.

Michael Gallagher glanced at her foot, “You’ve broken your foot. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Going to the hospital…

Molly quickly said, “No need.”

Michael Gallagher’s lips twitched slightly, “It seems like you’re really afraid of me taking you to the hospital.”

Last time she had low blood sugar from motion sickness, this time a broken bone, she seemed unwilling to go to the hospital for both.

All of this seemed strange and unusual.

Michael Gallagher’s eyes narrowed, dangerous and gloomy, “Molly, is there something you’re hiding from me?”
