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

Chapter 577: Chapter 572 Illegitimate… Child?_1
 

Phoebe Belmont’s eyes widened in shock.

She did have an account, but she wasn’t the one behind this—it was Gillian Thompson!

Even at this point, even if Daniel Thompson suspected her, she couldn’t reveal the truth.

“Fine, fine, fine, I originally came here today to help you, but now I’ve become the bad guy. I can’t stand this, I’d rather stay out of it.” Phoebe Belmont immediately headed for the door, fearing that staying any longer would give her away.

However, just as she reached the door, a familiar figure walked in.

Phoebe Belmont’s body shook, her face full of panic.

Molly Walker, how could she come over so fast?!

“Phoebe Belmont, long time no see.” Molly Walker wrapped her coat around her, her tone frosty.

Seeing her, Joshua Thompson raised his eyebrows with interest, “You’ve come at the right time. This person insists that the recent leaks were your doing.”

“Leaks?” Molly Walker’s lips curled, “Does Miss Belmont know something?”

Phoebe Belmont turned pale, “What do I know? I’m just speculating. After all, Daniel Thompson has only offended you. If he was retaliated against, of course, I can only think of you.”

“If I remember correctly, Daniel Thompson has also offended you, hasn’t he? What now, you’ve become an employee of Samuel Richardson and started to defend your former Boss?” Molly Walker laughed but not in anger.

She hadn’t even started looking for trouble with Phoebe Belmont, and yet Phoebe had run into her first.

One would have thought that last time’s attempt to trap a man into fatherhood would have cautioned her, but instead, she upped the ante, becoming even more brazen.

Reminded by Molly Walker, Phoebe Belmont’s face showed a few flickers of embarrassment.

Indeed, she was working under Samuel now, or else she wouldn’t have come over to stir trouble for Daniel Thompson.

But she hadn’t anticipated Molly Walker to arrive so quickly, and even Daniel didn’t give her any face, actually siding wholeheartedly with Molly Walker.

This Molly Walker, her moves were indeed sophisticated, even swaying Daniel Thompson back to her side.

“I’m currently with Samuel Richardson, just looking for a temporary foothold. Mr. Thompson has been gracious to me, of course, I can’t just stand by and watch him be framed.” Phoebe Belmont’s voice dropped in a guilty murmur, “Forget it, no good deed goes unpunished.”

Molly Walker let out a cold snort and walked into the hospital room at an unhurried pace.

Daniel Thompson on the hospital bed was deathly pale and in a foul mood; his face turned even whiter upon seeing Molly Walker.

Thinking about the “surprise,” as Daniel Thompson’s lips began to ask a question, Molly Walker seemed to know what he was thinking and handed him the box she carried.

“Birthday gift.”

Daniel Thompson’s breath hitched as he quickly took the box and opened it.

A beautiful men’s diamond-studded watch caught his eye.

The watch had a unique design, it was opulent and yet commanding, clearly the work of a high-end designer.

“This is…”

“I designed it.” Molly Walker spoke flatly, adding, “Your surprise.”

Surprise…

The watch indeed was a surprise.

For Daniel Thompson, whatever Molly Walker presented today, it would be a surprise.

He had even braced himself for Molly Walker betraying him and sending him to prison.

But he never anticipated that Molly Walker would actually prepare a birthday gift for him.

“Did you design this yourself?” Daniel Thompson’s hands shook as he gripped the box.

His daughter had actually given him a gift.

He’d never imagined in his life that Molly Walker would give him a gift again.

He knew Molly Walker had given gifts to her sons, to her Mom, but he hadn’t thought she would have one for him too.

He actually had a day to be forgiven.

Daniel Thompson looked at her, his lips quivering incessantly, and in an instant, old tears streamed down his face.

Molly Walker: “…”

There’s no need to be so moved!

“Ivy, thank you, thank you for forgiving Dad.” Daniel Thompson’s tears streamed down uncontrollably, and within seconds, he burst into loud sobbing.

Who could understand what he was feeling at this moment!

He could die without regrets!

Molly Walker had not betrayed him, nor had she harmed him.

Phoebe Belmont, the bitch, was indeed trying to sow discord.

Luckily, he had been smart this time and hadn’t been fooled, otherwise, the watch would have been ruined.

He had succeeded, completely succeeded!

Seeing Daniel Thompson’s excited and touched expression, Molly’s mouth twitched slightly. She had wanted to say that giving a gift didn’t mean forgiveness, but thinking of the undeserved disaster that befell Daniel today, she swallowed the words of denial.

Never mind, it was his sixtieth birthday today; she could bear with it a bit longer.

“I don’t know which competitor is trying to smear my name,” Daniel Thompson broached the subject, “I’ve never done those things they accuse me of.”

“They’re all fake.”

Molly remained silent.

Even if the accusations were false now, the other party still had the advantage in public opinion.

Public opinion had a time limit, and unless the person spreading the rumors was found, it would all be for naught.

Stocks would continue to fall, and the company would keep facing turmoil.

“Right now… we haven’t found that person yet,” Molly said with downcast eyes, her heart also tightening.

The current revelations were fake, but that didn’t mean the other party didn’t have real evidence in their hands.

Soon, they released another piece of news.

This time, the target was Damian Thompson.

“Damian Thompson has an illegitimate child, embezzling company funds to provide for the child.”

Quickly, this topic dominated the headlines across major media outlets.

Seeing this news, Molly was somewhat shocked.

The brother, he has an illegitimate child?

“Brother! Is this true or not?” Joshua Thompson was stunned as he looked at a photo of Damian Thompson holding a child in the video.

“It’s true.”

A magnetic voice with certainty interjected.

It was Nicholas Thompson.

He walked up to Damian’s side, looking at the brother he had always revered.

“That child, is yours, isn’t it?”

Molly didn’t react in time. She scrutinized the photo for a few seconds, confident it wasn’t AI or digitally altered.

Could it be, the brother really does have an illegitimate child?

Damian didn’t speak. His usually gentle face now turned cold, chillingly cold.

Clearly, the photo sent by the other party had touched a raw nerve.

…

Grace Harrison was in a meeting at Thompson Group, and after the meeting, she hurriedly put together the minutes of the meeting.

Damian Thompson trusted her greatly; she would chair the meetings in his absence, and she never let him down, carefully recording everything.

When she left the conference room, night had already fallen, and though it was time to leave work, there were still employees who hadn’t left, seeming to gather around gossiping.

“My goodness, how could he have a child now? It can’t be true.”

“Wow, what a shocking scoop, I thought he was the most eligible bachelor!”

“It seems that excellent men have long been targeted by women; they never really stay bachelors.”

…

Listening to these people chatting back and forth, Grace remained unaffected; she had never been interested in the entertainment industry’s gossip.

“Hey! Assistant Tian!” someone called out to her, “Do you know about today’s incident? Is it true or not?”

Seeing Grace, everyone around immediately became quiet, their eyes staring straight at her.

As Damian Thompson’s assistant, she should know whether the gossip was true.

“What do you mean by true or not?” Grace said with a sweet smile, “I don’t follow the entertainment industry usually. Where could I find the truth about these rumors?”
