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

Chapter 472: Chapter 468: The Last Time
“Provoking…” Gillian’s eyes were red like a rabbit’s, “Yes, I’m like this now, and you all despise me. No matter what I do, it’s wrong.”

“I just went to seek cooperation, I didn’t ask her for help, just a simple one-on-one cooperation. Even a stranger could consider it, let alone the technology from the Hopkins family that many companies are scrambling for.”

“I just want us both to win, what’s wrong with that?”

Tears fell from the corners of Gillian’s eyes.

She felt both distressed and embarrassed.

In front of Ethan, Ivy showed no face, the second brother showed no face, and now even the third brother came to teach her a lesson.

What did she do wrong?

She just wanted to live a better life.

“What’s wrong with that? Look into your conscience, Gillian. you wanted to hire someone to kill me,” Joshua sneered coldly with a smile, “Oh right, you’re not wrong, you just have a pig’s brain and a black heart.”

Hearing him mention “murder for hire,” Riley’s face was full of shock.

“Joshua, what do you mean? Did Gillian… ever try to hurt you?”

“She did. I was involved in a car wreck that cost millions, but fortunately, I survived by the skin of my teeth. Otherwise, I would have died at the hands of this woman.”

Riley’s face grew paler and paler as she listened, and her heart became more and more frightened.

She only knew that Gillian had conflicts with the others in the Thompson family, but didn’t expect this relationship to be involved.

What kind of person would do such a thing as hiring someone to kill their own brother?

And such a woman was still accusing others.

“It wasn’t me! Third brother, I told you, it was all because Isabelle forced me. I just wanted her to destroy the paternity test results, but I didn’t think she would do something to you!”

This was Gillian’s most difficult subject to mention, and she wouldn’t admit to doing it in front of Ethan.

She had always been a kind and friendly character in front of Ethan, and she couldn’t expose her other side.

Seeing this scene, Ethan’s face didn’t look good, and he couldn’t even smile any longer.

He glanced at Nicholas, who seemed a bit shaken, and his eyes flickered.

“In that case, let’s not cooperate. Gillian, let’s go. The company hasn’t reached a dead end yet. I believe that as long as we work hard, our days will get better and better.”

As Ethan spoke, Gillian’s grievances seemed to find an outlet, pouring out as her tears streamed down her face.

Joshua snorted coldly, about to make a sarcastic remark when he saw that his second brother’s face couldn’t bear it.

Not good, another person was about to lose their mind.

“If you’re really ambitious, then work hard.” Joshua patted Ethan’s shoulder, “I have faith in you.”

“Remember, don’t ask anyone for help, especially people from our Thompson family.” Joshua reminded timely and warned his second brother with a glance, “If you really have the ability, you can sail through the storm and hold onto your own company, but if you can’t, even if someone can help you temporarily, they can’t help you all your life.”

“Mr. Hopkins, good luck!”

Ethan didn’t say anything, his fingers tightened fiercely.

Joshua, with these words, had completely blocked his way.

Up to now, Gillian had received only a few hundred thousand dollars dowry from Thompson family, which was considered a severance fee.

The Thompson family and “W” didn’t help him at all.

Gillian’s value was basically useless.

When Joshua left, he took Nicholas with him, fearing that he might soften and make a mistake.

But when he left, he still kindly paid for the booth meal.

Gillian sat motionless in the chair, her head hanging low, not daring to look at Ethan.

This incident today was a disgrace to her, a great disgrace.

That’s why she didn’t even have the courage to look Ethan in the eye.

“Gillian…” Ethan’s voice rang out, and Gillian’s whole body stiffened.

“Don’t worry, I won’t break up with you.”

Gillian’s nose was sour, “But my family can’t help me, are you still willing to marry me? Even if you are willing to, what about your parents, will they still agree to our relationship?”

Ethan Hopkins smirked coldly, “Those who can’t help you aren’t your real family.”

“Gabriel, you should have seen through the Thompson family by now, right? There’s something I never told you. Phoebe Belmont is my aunt.”

“What did you say?” Gillian Thompson stood up abruptly, “Phoebe Belmont is actually your aunt? You guys…”

“Yes, she’s my aunt. Do you know why I’ve always liked you? It’s because my aunt would often tell me about you. Slowly, your personality and behavior captivated me.”

“I know about your affairs with Joshua Thompson and Ivy Thompson. Gabriel, no matter what, I believe you.”

Ethan’s words made Gillian’s heart race wildly.

“Ethan, do you really…believe me?”

“Mhm.” Ethan took her hand and interlocked their fingers. “We’ve already been intimate, and I won’t leave you no matter what. After all, you’ve been taking care of Daniel Thompson and Amanda Leaford for so many years. They’re treating you this way simply because of Ivy’s current status.”

Gillian nodded with red eyes, “Yes, no matter what my status is, I can’t compete with her, since she’s the real one.”

“So, we can’t just sit and wait to die.” A glint flickered in Ethan’s eyes, “Gabriel, if the Thompson family doesn’t give you what you deserve, then we’ll take it. You know Samuel Richardson, right…he wants to cooperate with me…to take over the Thompsons.”

Gillian opened her mouth in surprise, her face full of astonishment.

Samuel Richardson…wanted to take on the Thompson Group?

“Gabriel, after today’s incident, you should have given up hope on the Thompson family completely, right? Since that’s the case, there’s no need for us to be polite.”

“If the Thompson family doesn’t give us anything, we’ll take it, steal it even. As long as the method is correct, there’s no company we can’t bring down.”

As Ethan spoke, Gillian’s eyes gradually widened.

Soon, her pounding heart slowly calmed down.

Yes, if the Thompson family treated her so poorly, and even her second brother was considering severing ties with her now, there was no need to be polite anymore.

…

Upon returning from the coffee shop, Nicholas Thompson was still troubled by Gillian and Ethan’s helpless voices.

Joshua warned him not to help anymore, but he decided to help Gabriel one last time.

“Nicholas Thompson, you really are stubborn. Alright, go ahead and help. Just you wait until Gillian sucks you dry. Then we’ll see how you can help her!”

After saying his piece, Joshua walked away.

Nicholas felt heavy-hearted and slowly closed his eyes.

Just this once.

One last time.

After this, he would never help again.

However, he didn’t know that this decision would make him regret it for the rest of his life.

At the entrance of Jenkins family’s estate, Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher got out of the car together.

Today was Mr. Jenkins’ birthday, and rumor has it that he’s not doing well and has an important announcement to make.

More importantly, Jerry Jenkins had been released.

Michael didn’t want to come, but Molly thought about it and decided to take the initiative to meet Jerry.

If not for him, her cousin Zoey would never have ended up like that.

Fortunately, nothing major happened in the end.

But she needed to settle the score with the Jenkins family.

A stretch Lincoln limousine parked by the roadside, and as the car window rolled down, Scarlett Jackson’s pale and frail face appeared.

“Ivy Thompson, long time no see.”

Her weak voice was filled with gnashing hatred.

After that day, her reputation was ruined and her health deteriorated.

All thanks to Molly.

Over the years, she had carefully preserved her body, not even having a boyfriend, just waiting to marry Zachary Jenkins unblemished.
