Chapter 342: Chapter 341: This Organization is Just So-So
“Yes, I sent her away.” Joshua Thompson replied without changing his expression, “I know what you want to say. I didn’t give her much, just thirty thousand dollars.”
The atmosphere beca tense for a mont.
For the Thompson family, thirty thousand dollars might be just the price of a piece of clothing.
Everyone knew that Joshua couldn’t really let Gillian Thompson suffer, and Amanda Leaford was sowhat surprised when she heard the amount.
“Joshua, you did a good job.” Amanda Leaford gave him a thumbs-up, “A man shouldn’t be indecisive. I know you and your sister have a good relationship. You used to protect and spoil her, which led her to develop such a pampered character. Keeping such a person around will turn her into a vampire and even hurt us.”
“You might think I’m exaggerating, but bad relatives and family mbers can affect the entire family’s fortune. Just think about all the trouble she’s caused recently. If it weren’t for her, your father and I would not be like this.”
As Amanda Leaford finished speaking, Joshua Thompson’s face tensed slightly.
It was indeed partly because of Gillian that his parents’ relationship had beco so strained.
But it wasn’t just Gillian’s fault.
He glanced at Molly Walker without speaking.
If one were to talk about the changes in family fortune, it was clearly since Ivy Thompson had returned.
Joshua Thompson sat on the chair, took a sip of the white wine beside him.
Seeing Joshua acting like this, Molly Walker sneered without a word.
She knew what Joshua ant.
This man was still blaming her.
Molly’s sneer pierced Joshua’s heart like a knife.
As the wine went to his head, Joshua suddenly asked, “What are you laughing at, Ivy? Mom is right; bad relatives do affect a family’s fortune.”
“Now the company is in trouble, and my father has been displaced. The company isn’t a company, and the ho isn’t a ho. I don’t know who ssed it up.”
The aning of his words was clear.
Joshua Robbins squinted and was about to retort, but Molly Walker stopped him.
She could teach the others a lesson, but Joshua Thompson was her relative, so she couldn’t be too forceful, but that didn’t an she couldn’t use subtle ans.
“Who ssed it up, don’t you already know?”
“Phoebe Belmont and Daniel Thompson are a match made by Gillian Thompson, Third brother almost died because Gillian paid soone to kill him. You and I beca enemies with each other, and she deserves so credit too. Joshua Thompson, it’s obvious who ssed with our fortune, isn’t it?”
Every action Gillian took was hateful.
Joshua Thompson wanted to shift the bla onto her, but it wouldn’t work.
Michael Gallagher, who was sitting nearby, had a sharp, knife-like coldness in his eyes when he heard Joshua’s words.
He had always thought that the Thompson family treated Molly well, but at the very least, they wouldn’t be hostile to each other. However, Joshua’s attitude seed unlike that of a brother.
“Ivy is right.” Amanda Leaford said indignantly, “That woman has already gone back to her hotown; don’t ntion her again. If it wasn’t for Ivy, we wouldn’t know what would’ve happened to your uncle’s company.”
Joshua tightened his lips and didn’t argue further.
After all, Ivy really had helped save the Leaford Group.
“Ivy is lucky to have joined the ‘W’ organization, but it’s a sha Gillian doesn’t have that kind of luck.”
If Gillian was also a mber of the ‘W’ organization, her fate would have been different.
In the end, Ivy managed to have a foothold in everyone’s hearts, largely due to the organization’s contributions.
But what could be achieved by relying on others?
What else could Gillian do other than flaunting the organization’s power? Since she was young, her academics were good, with outstanding achievents in every major, even better than the rest of them.
Unfortunately, Gillian had not seen the light.
Thinking about everything Gillian had done, Joshua Thompson lowered his eyes.
“It’s not because I’m lucky.” Hearing Joshua trivialize her joining the organization, Molly felt a wave of bitterness in her heart.
Only she knew how hard it had been to establish the organization.
“If you’re not lucky, what about Emma Smith? She joined the organization so easily. Isn’t it because you helped her? I used to hear how difficult it was to join the organization, but it seems it’s not that remarkable…”
Joshua’s cold words hooked Molly’s lips with a touch of frost.
Emma Smith did join the organization with her help, but it didn’t an he could insult the organization.
“Joshua Thompson, have you said enough?” Molly Walker turned to Amanda Leaford, “Mom, can I break off all relations with him?”
The words of Emma Smith today inspired her.
So people can be disassociated from, like sacrificing a close family mber for the greater good.
“Mr. Thompson, are you really Molly’s brother?” Michael Gallagher suddenly spoke in a deep voice, as heavy as a cello and with an inexplicable chill, “Even if she is a mber of the ‘W’ organization, she had never experienced the warmth of a family before eting you all.”
She hadn’t even experienced the warmth of love.
Fortunately, it was not too late for everything.
In the past, he would have been resentful of a man like Harry Lambert helping Molly, but now he was glad that soone was there for her when everyone turned against her.
As long as Molly’s heart was with him, he didn’t care about anything else, as long as she was happy.
But this realization had co at the cost of his life.
Every word from Joshua Thompson was like a knife, and being her brother, it was impossible not to hurt her with such words.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Joshua Thompson was Molly’s brother, he would have thrown a punch just now.
As Michael Gallagher’s eyes t his, Joshua Thompson sobered up a bit.
He regretted his words after saying them.
But the worse Gillian’s situation was, the more guilty he felt.
Just as he was about to apologize, Molly smiled and said, “Is Gillian still studying?”
Studying…
The others looked at Joshua Thompson, whose face turned red imdiately.
“What do you an?” Joshua Robbins sneered, “Joshua Thompson, don’t tell you didn’t send her back to her hotown and hid her in a school sowhere?”
