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

Chapter 106: Lesson 106: Only a fool would refuse to make money

Is there someone outside?

Obviously turning black and white upside down, mindlessly throwing dirty water, it can be seen how troubling Elizabeth Aitken’s married life was.

Jake Leaford suddenly felt that beating such a person would be staining his own hands.

He could beat Aaron Howard, but he couldn’t do it himself.

A hint of sinister intent appeared in Jake Leaford’s eyes.

“Uncle, let me take you to the hospital.” He quickly guessed the identity of the old man.

Nir. Aitken nodded and looked at Aaron Howard: “Give me back the money.”

Under Jake Leaford’s gaze, Aaron Howard reluctantly returned the money.

Jake Leaford made a phone call, and an ambulance came directly.

Seeing the ambulance, Mr. Aitken hesitated a bit: “l have just a little scratch, going to the hospital is expensive…”

“Uncle, don’t worry, you don’t have to pay for this.”

Aaron Howard wanted to speak, but in the end, under his cold gaze, he closed his mouth.

Jake Leaford knew that the Aitken family was not well-off, and many elderly people are afraid of hospitals because of the cost, but he had to send Mr. Aitken to the hospital because he was Elizabeth’s father.

Elizabeth Aitken and Bella Howard finished the procedures, and Elizabeth Aitken looked at her cell phone and saw all the missed calls from Jake Leaford.

Ever since Jake Leaford saw her, he had been contacting her without restraint.

Elizabeth Aitken didn’t want to pay attention, but she still wanted to send a text message to ask, but she didn’t expect the first text message she opened to be sent by Jake Leaford: “Your dad is in the hospital. First Hospital, don’t worry, he’s fine.”

Seeing the words “he’s fine,” Elizabeth Aitken’s hanging heart finally let go, but she still couldn’t help worrying and hurried over.

In the hospital, Mr. Aitken was having a check-up while chatting with Jake Leaford.

“Uncle, what happened today?” Mr. Aitken didn’t mention Elizabeth all the way, but he couldn’t help but ask with concern.

Mr. Aitken had to tell him about the house- swapping.

Jake Leaford suddenly thought of the cooperation between the Thompson and Gallagher families, and whether the final project was selected in the Southern District or the Northern District was still unknown.

An answer seemed to be on the tip of his tongue.

“What’s the name of Elizabeth’s friend you mentioned?”

Mr. Aitken thought for a moment, “It seems to be called Molly Walker. She’s Elizabeth’s classmate. I used to work outside and only vaguely heard her mention it. I haven’t met her. Even if they were close back then, they haven’t seen each other for years. Who knows what she’s like? In my opinion, there’s no such thing as a free lunch for ordinary people like us. It’s better to be down-to-earth and make money.”

Mr. Aitken had a simple thought that even if there really was a free ride, it wouldn’t be something ordinary people like them could pick up.

Instead of wishing for overnight wealth, it’s better to work hard and do something substantial.

Thinking of the house being swapped and that they would have to live in such a shabby place, Mr. Aitken’s face turned dejected.

However, when Jake Leaford heard about it, he was suddenly alarmed.

Molly Walker? Southern District? She encouraged her friend to buy an old and dilapidated house?

This information was too big.

The only thing missing was an explicit statement that the Southern District will be demolished.

Jake Leaford called his assistant without saying a word: “Take out half of the money from my card and buy the old houses in the Southern District. You can pay them 110% of the market price, but remember to ask them to keep it a secret. ”

Demolition means relocation compensation. You’d be a fool not to take the money!

He didn’t use his family’s name, but his own name shouldn’t be a problem.

Hearing that he wanted to buy old houses in the Southern District, Mr. Aitken’s face was full of astonishment. Just as he wanted to ask, the door was pushed open with a bang by Elizabeth Aitken.

“Dad!” Elizabeth Aitken rushed in and first checked her father’s injuries. Seeing that they had been treated, her ugly expression finally eased.

As soon as Elizabeth Aitken entered, Jake Leaford’s eyes never left her.

She was still the same as before, petite and slender, with short and sleek hair, delicate and poreless skin without makeup, and simple gray work clothes on her body. She was simple and unadorned, yet irresistibly charming.

“The doctor said the results of the brain CT scan won’t be available until this afternoon.” Jake Leaford looked deeply into her eyes.

Elizabeth Aitken nodded, looking at him solemnly and said, “Thank you.”

“You don’t have to be so polite to me.” He added, “We’re friends.”

Elizabeth Aitken didn’t say anything, and Jake Leaford smiled bitterly, “I’ll go first.’

After Jake Leaford left, Mr. Aitken looked at Elizabeth Aitken and said, “Who is this friend of yours? I haven’t heard you mention him before.”

Seeing his clothes and behavior, Mr. Aitken knew that he was not ordinary. He casually took the money out of his card to buy a house in the Southern District, and buying a house was as simple as eating. He himself was not simple.

Elizabeth Aitken laughed softly, “Just an ordinary classmate.”

An ordinary classmate…

Mr. Aitken chuckled lightly. From the moment she came in, that person’s gaze never left her. He obviously had feelings for her.

“Elizabeth, we can’t afford to mess with such people. Your mom once said that she only hopes that you marry an ordinary person. Some people, we can never reach in our entire lives,” he said.

Elizabeth’s nose stung, and she slowly lowered her head, “l know I can’t reach him. But I don’t want to meet someone like Aaron Howard either.’

Mr. Aitken didn’t say anything. Aaron Howard was an ordinary person in their eyes, but in the end? He was just as terrible.

Thinking of his young daughter’s divorce, Mr. Aitken also felt discouraged.

“So, if I don’t get married in the future, I hope you won’t force me, Dad.” She was prepared to be alone for the rest of her life.

As for Jake Leaford…

She knew that there would be no good outcome if she couldn’t reach him. She didn’t match Jake Leaford before and even more so now. She was aware of her limitations.

At the Thompson family’s estate, in the dining room.

Molly Walker was eating with the Thompson family. As soon as she sat down, Joshua Thompson put the cell phone in front of her.

“The Gallagher family released a message saying that Bailey Gallagher is Michael Gallagher’s child. Michael Gallagher already has a child, did you know about this?” Joshua Thompson stared at Molly Walker, “You’ve been married for three years, surely you can’t be unaware that he has a five-year-old child?” Everyone at the table looked at Molly Walker.

This news shocked not only them but probably even the media never expected the Gallagher family to have such a big melon.

Molly Walker glanced at the phone screen, looked around at the breakfast spread, picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks from a pile of breakfast, and said indifferently, “l didn’t know.”

With a “bang,” Joshua Thompson slapped the table and stood up, “F*ck!”

Even if his sister could tolerate this, he couldn’t.

He pushed the chair aside and walked out.

“Stop!” Daniel Thompson yelled at him, “Where are you going?”

“To teach Michael Gallagher a lesson,” Joshua Thompson said coldly, his face ugly, not hiding his emotions at all, “Why did he propose to Molly when he already has a child? To have her be the child’s stepmother?”

Daniel Thompson’s face also darkened. His daughter was good in every way, only her marriage was somewhat tainted, especially knowing that Michael Gallagher had a child, it felt even more like a deception in marriage.

She had always been academically outstanding since she was a child and could be called smart, so why was she so infatuated with love?

“Sit down. You can’t make a scene about this. It will make the Thompson family look like they can’t afford to lose,” Daniel Thompson thought further than his son.. He turned his gaze to Molly Walker, his voice flat, “What do you think?”
