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

Chapter 426: Chapter 423 – She’s Here
In the private room of the Tea House, soothing music flowed through the space like a trickling stream washing over the ears.

“Why hasn’t he arrived yet?” Christopher Evans grew increasingly impatient as he waited.

Since several days ago, Scarlett Jackson had been arranging a meeting between him and Zachary Jenkins. From domestic places to abroad, then back to local places, every scheduled meeting had been disrupted by unforeseen circumstances.

Christopher Evans casted a suspicious glance at Scarlett, it could be coincidental for this to happen once or twice. However, the chances of it happening multiple times seemed strangely excessive.

Could Scarlett Jackson be playing him?

Seeing the impatience rising in Christopher Evans, Scarlett was both nervous and upset.

Every meeting ended in a mishap, this was also not something within her control…

“Mr. Evans, Mr. Jenkins assured that he will arrive. Maybe he was held up on his way here,” she said.

“This is already the third reschedule. If Mr. Jenkins does not wish to meet me, he can clearly express his intention, there is no need to toy with people,” Christopher Evans stood up, intending to leave.

Violet Summers also stood up, her anxious words of persuasion followed, “Mr. Evans, he is not a man who does not keep his promises, why don’t we wait a bit more?”

“No more waiting.” Christopher Evans glanced at the clock on the wall, the agreed upon time had been surpassed by a whole hour.

Zachary Jenkins obviously didn’t care about this matter at all.

After all, he was an influential person within the “W” organization, he had only stood others up before, it was the first time he had been stood up so many times.

As he stormed to the door, ready to leave, it opened.

From outside the door, a man dressed casually entered, with charming brows and eyes. His deep, intense gaze was chilling to those it fell upon.

As Michael Gallagher’s gaze landed on Christopher Evans, his expression remained unperturbed.

“Mr. Jenkins!”

“Mr. Gallagher…”

The voices of Scarlett Jackson and Violet Summers exclaimed in surprise.

“Mr. Jenkins, over here.” Scarlett pointed to the seat next to her.

Without paying attention to Scarlett, Michael turned his head towards the door and said, “Come in.”

Did Mr. Jenkins bring someone?

Hearing his gentle voice, Scarlett couldn’t help but be curious.

You should have seen the looks on Scarlett Jackson and Violet Summers faces when Molly Walker walked in.

“Ivy Thompson!” Scarlett’s voice rose sharply, “Why are you here?”

She looked at the man, her face showing disbelief, “Mr. Jenkins, our meeting today should not be known by outsiders.”

“She is not an outsider.” Michael Gallagher’s thin lips opened slightly, his expression was undisturbed.

In front of everyone, he firmly held Molly Walker’s hand and headed towards the empty seats.

Watching Scarlett Jackson and Violet Summers turn ashen, Molly found it amusing.

What a mess…

Seeing how Scarlett and Violet couldn’t vent their frustration, the corners of Molly’s lips couldn’t help but curve upwards.

Looking at Molly sitting in her spot, Scarlett’s face turned pale, then flushed, then pale again.

That was the head of the table, she had specifically reserved it for him, but he gave that spot to Molly instead.

Scarlett felt wretched inside.

Since Mr. Jenkins came in, he didn’t look her in the eye once.

He brought Molly here, and he had just slapped her across the face.

“Mr. Jenkins, nice to meet you, I am Christopher Evans.” Christopher didn’t shout about leaving anymore, as if his previous discontentment never existed.

“Nice to meet you.” Michael Gallagher gave a friendly nod.

Evans glanced at Molly Walker, his brows furrowed.

He heard of Molly before, a “VVIP” in their organization and had a good relationship with No. 6.

He only knew about her, but had never personally met her. Upon meeting Molly, for some reason, he felt something was off.

Something about her was familiar, but he couldn’t quite place it.

He suppressed the unsettling feeling in his heart and said to Michael Gallagher, “I presume you’re aware of the inheritance left by your father by now. Whenever you want to take over the organization, I will cooperate on my end.”

Michael noticed Evans’ gaze briefly landed on Molly before he quickly averted it, his deep eyes shone with a sharp light.

“And what about you, Mr. Evans, what do you want?” Michael cut straight to the chase.

He did not believe that Christopher Evans would be so kind to assist him in reaching the top.

If he guessed right, Christopher Evans’ ambitions were the greatest.

Upon hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Christopher Evans’ face.

As expected of his Master’s son, who took control of the Gallagher Group at such a young age, not just anyone could do it.

Before, he had only seen Michael Gallagher on the television. Today, as they met for the first time, he was impressed by his appearance and tricks.

“Since Mr. Jenkins asked, I see no reason to hide my intentions any longer. I do have selfish motives for meeting you. To be frank, I’m very dissatisfied with the current leadership of the W organisation,” said Christopher Evans, his voice deep and icy, “the person at the helm is not rightfully placed, and has been implementing reforms and changing the name of our organization as soon as he took over. He’s plunged the organization into chaos, and now almost all the senior executives in the organization are his people. Mr. Jenkins, I have no other demands, I just hope that after you take over, you can replace all these people.”

“However, even if I didn’t say this, Mr. Jenkins, you’re aware of the benefits and liabilities here. When you take over, it’s inevitable that you’ll offend people in the organization. It’s essential to carry out a major reshuffle, and other than this, I have no other requests.”

Christopher Evans sneered.

Back in the day, when his Master was in charge, his word was law in the organization. However, ever since that person took over, everything changed.

He promoted many young people to positions of power, some of whom even threatened to replace him. This caused him great dissatisfaction.

Molly looked at Christopher Evans, her lips curling into a smirk.

No wonder Christopher Evans could produce a team member like Violet. So he had long been dissatisfied with her and her team.

When her master was still there, Christopher Evans always caused trouble for her. After she took over the organization, Christopher Evans was the first one to resist her.

If it wasn’t for her master’s sake, she wouldn’t have let Christopher Evans stay at all.

Just at this moment, a hand held hers, and Molly was taken aback.

“What’s the matter?” Michael Gallagher looked at her deep-set eyes, which made Molly’s heart skip a beat.

“Nothing,” Molly hurriedly looked down, “this is the first time I’ve heard this insider story about the organization. It’s surprising.”

Michael Gallagher didn’t continue with his questions. He turned to Christopher Evans and asked, “Any other requests?”

Christopher Evans was about to say no, but he abruptly stopped when Violet Summers called him “Mr. Evans”.

When he looked at Violet’s expecting eyes, the word “no” didn’t escape his lips.

“There’s one more request. Violet Summers is my most capable subordinate, and I hope she can take over Harry Lambert’s position when the time comes.”

Harry Lambert’s position…

Violet froze on the spot. Would she become equals with Mr. Evans?

Violet had never thought that Mr. Evans would hold her in such high regard. She felt her eyes well up.

Michael Gallagher nodded his head, his deep eyes were unfazed. He caressed Molly’s hand and asked softly, “What do you think?”

Molly didn’t expect Michael Gallagher to ask her opinion.

Seeing that Michael Gallagher wanted to know Molly’s opinion, Violet furrowed her brows in nervousness.

She didn’t expect Mr. Gallagher would ask for Molly’s opinion even on such matters.

“Everyone in Orientopia knows that Molly Walker and Harry Lambert have a close relationship. Do you think she will agree to me replacing Harry Lambert?” Violet gripped her fists tightly as a sarcastic smile emerged on her face.
