“Yes, I shouldn’t interfere in this matter. If this had happened in the past, I would definitely be on your side, but now the situation is a bit complicated…” Lana Lewis thought of Bailey, gritted her teeth and walked forward to hold Molly’s hand, “Molly, you’ve already divorced Michael. I respect your opinion, but I hope you can help with this situation.”

Looking at Lana Lewis, who was averting her eyes, Molly held onto her hand, “Tell me what kind of help you need. I will do my best to help.”

“I hope you can find a way to help Isabelle. After she gets out, you can punish her in any way you want, but she… she can’t go to prison!”

As Lana finished speaking, Molly’s expression froze.

She had thought that her mother-in-law might ask her for various things, but not for helping Isabelle.

Her mother-in-law had even been hospitalized because of the conflict between her and Isabelle. Why had she suddenly changed her mind now?

“Can you tell me why?” Since her mother-in-law’s memory had been restored, she couldn’t possibly be siding with Isabelle.

Even if Lana’s words troubled and embarrassed her, Molly still wanted to know the reason.

“Did the Richardson family pressure you?”

Lana shook her head, hesitating to say something, but eventually swallowed her thoughts.

If Molly knew that Isabelle and Michael had a child, she would be even less willing to help Isabelle.

Although she didn’t like Isabelle, she was still Bailey’s mother.

Once Isabelle had a criminal record, Bailey’s future education and career would be affected.

She knew her request was too much, but for the sake of her grandson, she had to do whatever it took to help Isabelle out.

“Do you know what Isabelle has done?” Molly asked, hiding her smile.

Lana frowned. She knew a little about why Isabelle was sent to prison. Apparently, she had offended someone from the Thompson family. But she knew that these reasons were not important. The key point still lay with Molly.

Molly could send Isabelle to prison and also lighten her crimes.

After all, Molly was also a part of the Thompson family now. She had heard that Molly was favored in the Thompson family, and as long as she was willing, she could definitely speak up.

“I know a bit about her going to prison… But Molly, you must have a way, right? You can punish her however you want after she gets out. If you don’t feel relieved, I’ll help you punish her too. Please let her go this time, for my sake.” “Are you asking me to let her go this time or to completely let her go?”

Lana was startled.

Molly smiled with understanding, her eyes slightly red.

If it was just this once, she could help for the sake of her mother-in-law. But if it wasn’t, she would never be able to completely let Isabelle go, or else her grandmother would have died in vain, right?

Time and time again letting Isabelle go, even if she didn’t blame herself, her grandmother would blame her.

“Mom, I’m sorry, but no matter the reason, my hatred for Isabelle has already formed. If it’s Michael who asked you to plead for her, you can tell him that I will never let Isabelle go in this lifetime and he should give up on that.” She spoke with an indifferent tone, and her words carried a hint of coldness.

Her beautiful eyes smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

“It’s not Michael.” Lana denied it subconsciously. Seeing Molly’s emotionless expression, she sank and said, “I came here without Michael knowing. The reason I’m helping Isabelle is due to my own reasons. I can’t tell you yet… When I confirm some things, I’ll tell you.”

“I know I have no right to ask you to forgive her, but if she goes to prison, I… I

won’t be able to rest in peace…”

Upon hearing Lana mention death, Molly thought about her illness.

The doctor had said that her mother-in-law’s life wouldn’t be long. If the surgery went smoothly, she could live a little longer, but even then, they would be powerless to change anything.

If she let Isabelle go, her grandmother would also not rest in peace.

She didn’t say this.

Mother-in-law pleading for Isabelle was very sudden now, and she could only think of the possibility that Michael was behind it all.

After all, she had just refused to talk to him, so it wouldn’t be impossible for him to involve her mother-in-law.

But looking at how desperate her mother-in-law was to deny it, it didn’t seem like she was lying.

Some things might need further investigation.

“Mom, you should focus on your recovery. As for other things, I will think about it and talk to you later.”

She was somewhat tired and could only temporarily put this matter aside for now.

Seeing her like this, Lana knew that some things could not be rushed, and pushing further might backfire.

“I’ll go first, and you carry on with your conversation.”

Watching Lana leave, Jeremy Norman approached.

“You don’t look good, should we find a place to rest first?” Seeing Molly’s pale face, Jeremy didn’t ask any questions but showed concern instead.

Molly nodded. agreeing with Teremy’s actions.

It was not appropriate for her to bring guests around in her current state.

Jeremy looked on his cell phone and took the initiative to say, “There’s a place with good reviews just 100 meters ahead, shall we take a look?”

Molly nodded.

When she saw the Tea House, Molly was surprised. This was the same place where she and Harry Lambert had tea before.

Thanks to Lucy, she only remembered that this place was expensive. But other than being expensive, there were no other issues.

“Although this place is famous for tea, no one knows that their most famous service is actually one-on-one customized Chinese cuisine.” Jeremy winked at her and confidently walked in.

Seeing him strolling around like he was at his own home, Molly was curious.

Jeremy waved to a waiter: “Give this to your manager and have him arrange a six-star chef for our table.’

The waiter took the card from him, and when he saw what was on the card, his face changed, “Please wait.”

Seeing Molly’s puzzled face, Jeremy patiently explained: “The head office of this Tea House is in Capital City, and it’s a part of my family’s business.”

Molly:

No wonder Jeremy had such a privilege.

The Norman family mainly operated restaurants and hotels. It wasn’t strange for them to have branches all over the country.

But she had never expected that such a luxurious Tea House would be owned by the Norman family.

“Are you sure there’s no problem with you using your privilege like this?” She remembered that the chefs here were all one-on-one, and they had limited daily reservations.

“I didn’t use any special privileges. This rule was set by my grandfather. After my grandmother died from food poisoning, my grandfather set a goal to open his own restaurants all over the country. This way, the future Norman descendants can go to these restaurants whenever they are hungry or in trouble. He believes that only the food from our own restaurants can be truly trusted.”

Hearing Jeremy’s family history, Molly was both surprised and admired.

She hadn’t expected Jeremy’s grandfather to be so amazing, even accomplishing such a dream.

To have grandchildren and great-grandchildren eat at their own family restaurants whenever they were hungry — what kind of strength and “distribution” rate was this?

Not far away, Jake Leaford was discussing a partnership with someone. The man in front of him talked on and on, tirelessly promoting his own products. Jake lay back in his chair, letting the words go in one ear and out the other.

“Sorry, I’m going to the restroom.” He got up and walked in the direction of the toilet.. When he saw Molly and Jeremy, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Damn!”
