Translator: 549690339

Joshua Thompson was about to step forward but was stopped by Damian Thompson.

“On what grounds are you qualified to help?” Damian’s tone was calm, yet extremely cold.

Joshua Thompson stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed tightly on Isabelle Richardson, as if as long as Isabelle touched the woman in front of her, he would be able to devour Isabelle whole.

Seeing his younger brother hold in his emotions, Damian pulled back his hand and looked at the upright woman not far away.

She was still wearing that red dress, enchantingly dazzling, facing Isabelle without the slightest fear, and it was unknown where her courage had come from.

Isabelle had never been slapped before, let alone in front of so many people.

She wanted to slap back, but the woman in front of her seemed to know exactly what she was about to do and quickly turned and left.

“Molly Walker, stay right there!”

Isabelle was furious, and with strength summoned from somewhere within, she caught up and grabbed the strap of Molly Walker’s long dress.

With a single pull, the dress would fall off.

Isabelle smirked wickedly and fiercely tugged back, only to have a hand suddenly press down on her.

Enraged, Isabelle looked up and locked eyes with Joshua’s face.

He disdainfully pried her hand away, his eyes filled with danger, “Miss Richardson, you’re educated after all, how could you even think of doing such a thing?”

Isabelle shrugged off his hand: “So, you’re worried about her, are you?”

A dangerous curve formed on Joshua’s lips as they lifted.

“Is a second-hand item worth the attention of the third son of the Thompson family?”

“Second-hand?” Joshua smiled and grabbed her chin, “You’re talking about yourself, aren’t you? Miss Richardson is so charming, I don’t mind making you a third-hand item.”

He then cast a wicked glance at her vital parts.

Isabelle’s face flushed red.

Joshua’s posture with her was flirtatious, attracting the gaze of passersby.

His actions seemed gentle, but he was forceful, and soon, the taste of blood filled her mouth.

The man in front of her was a demon.

Fear suddenly flashed in Isabelle’s eyes.

Molly Walker hadn’t gone far, seeing Joshua come out to help again, she simply stood aside and watched.

He was willing to help her, and she would accept it. She could repay this favor.

A voice called out to her.

“Miss Walker.”

The man who came was dressed in a white suit, his curly hair tied up, gold-rimmed glasses, and a gentle smile.

“Mr. Thompson.”

Molly Walker saw the fruit basket and other gifts in his hand.

“I heard that Miss Lewis is sick, and my family asked me to come and visit. Can Miss Walker take me to see her?”

Damian Thompson was very polite, but his words left no room for refusal.

Since he had come to this floor, it was impossible for him not to know Michael Gallagher’s mother’s hospital room number.

Molly Walker took a glance at the emergency room, which would probably not open for a while.

She nodded her head and walked forward, with Damian Thompson following closely behind.

“Miss Walker, what exactly is your relationship with my brother?”

Molly Walker stopped in her tracks.

As she met Damian’s brown eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses, Molly knew he had misunderstood.

“We are just friends.” Not wanting her relationship with Joshua to be misunderstood, she explained, “Pure friends, you can ask him if you don’t believe me.”

If Joshua had any feelings for her, even a little, she wouldn’t be so close to him.

Joshua protected her like a brother would for his sister, and there was absolutely no lust in the way he looked at her as a man would look at a woman.

That was also the reason why she dared to get close to Joshua.

“Miss Walker, do you know that he almost messed up the cooperation with the Richardson family because of you?”

Molly Walker pursed her lips and said nothing.

Joshua had indeed taken action, but this was just the beginning.

Seeing her unchanged expression, Damian quickly guessed that she had known about this.

Although Joshua had always disliked Isabelle, the resentment hadn’t reached the point of messing up the cooperation.

Even if he was rebellious and willful, in major matters, he would never be ambiguous. If it wasn’t for a necessary reason, he wouldn’t do such a thing. Today, seeing Molly Walker confront Isabelle, he quickly guessed the reason.

Joshua was doing all this for Molly’s sake.

“Joshua has always been loyal, but he has never gone this far for any friend.”

Having a “scandal” with Michael Gallagher, causing trouble at the cooperation meeting, all this absurdity was for her.

Even Damian, who had a good temper, began to doubt at this moment.

To treat someone like this, if not for love, then what could it be? Family?

“Miss Walker, as far as I know, you haven’t completed the divorce proceedings with Michael Gallagher.” Damian’s tone softened, “Once you complete the divorce, it’s not too late to be friends with Joshua.”

With things said to this point, everything was clear.

She regarded Joshua as a good friend and didn’t want his family to misunderstand their relationship.

“Please rest assured, from now on, I will keep my distance from him.” Joshua had done what he said, and their transaction had also ended.

Seeing her show understanding, Damian also told her some good news.

“Our cooperation with the Richardson family cannot continue, and we will work with other families for that piece of land.”

Molly Walker smiled.

As long as Isabelle’s family did not join forces with the Thompson family, she had nothing to fear.

“However, there’s one thing I’d like to remind you of.” Damian Thompson didn’t want to meddle, but seeing her smile, he couldn’t help but say more, “The Richardson family isn’t easy to deal with. Their grandfather’s generation came to power through crime.”

Although now there is a nationwide crackdown, families like the Richardsons, which had considerable strength in the early days, would surely have other backup plans.

The Thompson family wasn’t afraid, but once Molly Walker divorced Michael Gallagher, she would likely become a target for the Richardson family to manipulate.

It was said that every successor of the Richardson family had blood on their hands.

Not to mention that kind of upbringing…

Damian Thompson thought of something, frowned, and seemed to feel a little uncomfortable.

“Thank you for the reminder.” Molly Walker smiled and didn’t take it to heart.

Since Isabelle had caused the death of her grandmother, she and the Richardson family were already enemies.

The Richardson family members weren’t nice people, otherwise, they wouldn’t have raised someone like Isabelle.

Taking Damian Thompson to her mother-in-law’s hospital room, Molly Walker returned to the emergency room just in time to see the door open.

Michael Gallagher was pushed out.

Isabelle rushed forward, and hurriedly asked, “How is he?”

Molly Walker stood aside and watched as the young doctor took off his mask. With a slender figure, he was clearly young and not the one from before.

“There is no immediate danger to his life. The specifics will depend on the treatment in the coming days. As long as there is no infection in the wound, there shouldn’t be any major problems.” This voice…

Molly Walker suddenly looked up at him.

Noticing her gaze, the young doctor smiled slightly, “Is there anything else you would like to ask?”

Molly Walker tightened her fingers and slowly lowered her eyes.

This man was the doctor who had talked with Isabelle last time.

She wouldn’t be mistaken.

At the time, Michael Gallagher was present, and she hadn’t heard the entire conversation, but even just hearing part of it, the seed of suspicion was planted.

This man knew Isabelle and said he would help her hide something.

What could require a doctor’s secrecy?

The answer seemed evident.

Molly Walker clenched her teeth, suppressing the raging beast at the bottom of her heart..
