Chapter 130: Call Me Joshua Walker From Now On
Translator: 549690339
Joshua Thompson sneered, “He doesn’t care what others think. Without Mom persuading him, he’s just a selfish old man.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw his card at Daniel Thompson: “l know you want to stop my card, so I’m returning it to you in advance.”
“Stay right there!”
Daniel was furious, his nose flared and eyes glaring: “Do you think you can scare me without the card? Everything you eat, wear, and the education you received, weren’t they all provided by the family? If you have the guts, don’t come back! ”
“I don’t want to come back if you let me!” Joshua’s voice was icy cold, he turned his head and said nonchalantly, “By the way, should 1 change my last name too? Otherwise, I’d still be benefiting from this name. I think my sister’s last name is not bad. From now on, I’ll be called Joshua Walker.”
“You!” Daniel covered his chest, stomped angrily, “Such a good son! Filial piety indeed!”
Damian Thompson watched all of this, his eyes warm and a smile on his face, but remaining silent.
Daniel looked at the son who always made him proud, took a deep breath to calm himself down: “Do you also think I did something wrong?”
Damian nodded, his eyes clear, and a faint smile on his lips: “l don’t think you should be so muddled.”
To develop the Thompson family from a small company into the number one company in Sunnydale, he definitely couldn’t act so recklessly.
Daniel sighed, a trace of confusion in his clear eyes, and said in a tired tone, as if his strength had been drained: “Still, you understand me. If 1 could be fair to everyone, I would. But Gabriel is too outstanding! Do you know why the shareholders support her? Because she made friends with a That friend said they would help us until our project is settled. Do you know what that means? It’s as if our Thompson family gained a huge protector in Sunnydale.”
“Our family has been causing too much uproar lately, and we’re famous in Capital City. Not only are our company’s competitors eyeing us, but even the Norman family’s competitors are targeting us. On top of that, the capital behind the celebrity is also very dissatisfied with us. We’ve made too many enemies.”
Damian’s eyes were mysterious, and the smile on his lips faded slightly, “You’re scared.’
Daniel nodded without hesitation, “Indeed, I’m a bit scared.’
This time, it was a government project with extensive investment involved. If his own project failed, it would be just that, but cooperating with higher-ups could endanger both the company and personnel with just a little manipulation.
With the current strict law and regulations, he could easily end up in prison if he wasn’t careful.
“It’s normal for you to be scared.” Damian’s lips were full, he chuckled lightly, revealing his pearly white teeth. “Because you’re getting old.”
“If you were twenty years younger…”
Twenty years younger…
Daniel shuddered, even if he were just ten years younger, he would dare to go head-to-head with these people; what was there to be afraid of? He had plenty of time to deal with them.
But now, he was getting old, and he was afraid – afraid of spending the rest of his life in prison.
Those old shareholders probably had the same idea as him; once they had descendants and were getting old themselves, they became more cautious.
“You’re right, I’m old. It’s time for the company to be given to you young people.” If the Thompson family had been afraid of risks from the beginning, they would never have developed this far.
Daniel reminded him, “Gabriel’s ‘W’ friend is also very important. She’s only willing to help us because of Gabriel’s sake, and we cannot offend her.”
Damian smiled without speaking, he didn’t know much about W, but had indeed heard of her powerful influence.
“Since they’re willing to help us, we will not refuse.” His father’s worry was not unreasonable; maybe Ivy also knew the consequences and simply withdrew from the situation.
This was also a different kind of fulfillment and protection for the family.
But now, the Thompson family owed too much to their sister.
Regardless of whether there were misunderstandings, they must be resolved including the relationship between Joshua and his father, it can’t be allowed to cause a family rift over this matter.
Having made up his mind, Damian headed straight to the underground garage, got in his car, and drove toward the hospital.
In the old residential area opposite the third hospital, Molly Walker stood at the entrance. Upon receiving Isabelle Richardson’s specific location, she stepped forward.
This time, Isabelle and Jake Smith were either too relaxed or caught up in the heat of the moment, they even left the curtains open.
Molly laughed as she went up to the opposite building, clearly observing Isabelle and Jake Smith’s actions.
In Michael Gallagher’s hospital room, Jake Leaford sat by his side, babbling incessantly, “Are you sure the baby in Molly’s belly isn’t yours? If it’s yours, tell me now, it’s not too late to regret it.”
“What kind of bet did you make with Elizabeth Aitken?” Seeing Jake Leaford nervous, Michael’s tone was cold.
Jake stammered, “If she loses, she has to marry me. If I lose, I have to call her father. Michael, tell me you haven’t had relations with Molly? You promise not to lie to me? We’ve been brothers for so many years, you can’t deceive me.”
Hearing that he had made such a bet with someone else, Michael sneered, “You might as well call her father directly.”
Jake’s heart skipped a beat: “What do you mean? Is the baby really yours?”
The thought of having to kneel and call Elizabeth Aitken “Dad” made Jake want to die.
After all, whose child Molly was carrying had nothing to do with him. He regretted making such a bet with Elizabeth at the time.
Michael’s face showed no expression.
Thinking of Molly’s repeated denial of the baby, a chill spread across Michael’s eyes.
He mustered up the courage to ask her several times. If Molly admitted, he would give the child a status, but she said that the child was not his.
“It’s pretty boring to bet on this matter, and since you’re so afraid of losing, why don’t you just call her father?” Michael raised an eyebrow, a playful glance in his eye.
Jake choked, unable to say anything in response.
He admitted that it was a bit boring, but how could he hold his head up if he just called her father directly?
Annoyed, he walked to the window, opened it, and let in some fresh air.
Suddenly, he squinted his eyes and pointed outside the window: “Huh? What’s Molly doing sneaking around? She’s not recuperating in the hospital, so what is she doing in that run-down residential area?”
Michael walked to the window, his narrow eyes fixed on the person downstairs, his brows furrowed and his gaze dark and dangerous.
On the other side.
Molly stood by the window and looked through the binoculars handed over by the person next to her: “Tsk tsk.”
Molly laughed and put down the binoculars.
There were a few people around her, fiddling with shooting equipment, looking even more professional than some paparazzi.
“Boss, do you need us to rush in?” No. 4 winked mischievously, rubbing shoulders and looking very excited..
