Chapter 463: Chapter 460: Stop Blocking Us
“Don’t stop us anymore.”
Gillian Thompson’s words of resentnt pierced Nicholas Thompson’s eyes.
He thought, over the years, by helping her avoid the pitfalls, Gillian had tacitly approved of his actions.
At least, she had grown accustod to her brother’s way of doing things.
But she had been resenting him all along.
“Fine, I won’t stop you, but I have to personally check on this man before I can feel at ease handing you over to him.”
“Suit yourself.” Gillian Thompson didn’t try to persuade him further, “But don’t forget to ask Fourth Sister to help later. Second Brother, you can’t really see holess, right?”
“When Ethan Hopkins’ life gets better, mine will get better too. I feel guilty for being a burden on you all this ti. Once I get married, I won’t bother you any more.”
Gillian’s words were sowhat sincere.
Indeed, she thought that way.
Nicholas Thompson could help her for a while, but not for a lifeti.
Relatives without blood ties will eventually drift away. She must take advantage of Nicholas’s help while she can, quickly secure another lifelong big tree to rely on.
As long as she marries Ethan Hopkins and has children, she will have a place in life.
Hearing her say this, Nicholas Thompson frowned: “You’re my sister, even after you get married, you’re still my sister. I won’t let you be holess.”
Gillian didn’t refute, but rely gave a sad smile.
So things cannot be said too clearly.
Second Brother is so foolish. If Second Brother got married and had a sister-in-law, once the sister-in-law whispered into his ear, she would definitely have nothing to do with it.
She didn’t believe that a brother with no blood ties could really help her for a lifeti.
She could have the Thompson family’s big tree for a short ti, but it could serve as her stepping stone to another big tree.
After hanging up the video call, Nicholas Thompson imdiately looked up information on Ethan Hopkins, and quickly made a judgent.
The Hopkins family was on the verge of collapse. Ethan previously had a marriage arrangent with soone else, but the marriage was canceled due to problems with the Hopkins family’s company.
Wealthy family marriages are mostly for alliance, and small companies sotis pay great attention to these matters.
A pre-arranged marriage could be dismissed so easily, which ant the Hopkins family’s problems were serious.
Then thinking about the words Gabriel ntioned.
Most likely, Ethan Hopkins was targeting the Thompson family and Fourth Sister.
Thinking of Molly Walker, Nicholas Thompson felt a heavy weight on his heart.
Joshua had privately warned him many tis not to bother Fourth Sister anymore, and he would no longer try to find a solution in the future.
He ca out of the door and said to the driver in the car, “Go to Jeremy Norman’s house.”
He wanted to have a chat with Jeremy Norman.
…
At this ti, Jeremy Norman had already left his own villa and was renting a suite outside.
After a long period of drunkenness and awakening from the dream, Molly Walker’s words made him take good care of himself and no longer self-destruct.
“Take good care of your body and don’t waste the blood I’ve given you.”
After being in chaos for so many days, these words pulled him out of the abyss.
However, what angered him the most now was not the fact that Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher were together, but Olivia Sawyer.
She actually blacklisted him.
He frantically tried to re-add her, but only received a rejection ssage: Don’t add again.
Jeremy Norman frowned, sending a ssage: Add , I have sothing to ask you.
After sending it, he thought about it and added another sentence: You used to say I could co to you if I needed anything, and you said you’d never leave . Olivia Sawyer, do your words still count?
Olivia Sawyer: Can you just think I had love brain back then?
Seeing this ssage, Jeremy Norman didn’t ask any further.
These days, Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher’s relationship had improved. Although he had been down for a while, what he couldn’t accept the most was Olivia Sawyer’s attitude.
What does that an? She’s beco famous and successful, so she no longer needs him as a friend?
Jeremy Norman was both angry and annoyed, his usual gentle deanor nowhere to be seen.
He knew sothing was off, but he couldn’t pinpoint the problem or identify what was wrong.
His friend suggested that he had probably realized Olivia Sawyer’s worth.
“Brother Night, are you in love with her?”
In love?
Jeremy snorted.
How could he fall in love with a woman who reminds him of his sibling?
“I’d sooner love you than her.”
His remark left the other person blushing.
Frustrated, Jeremy walked out of the bar and, after so thought, went to the entrance of Olivia’s ho.
It was a small apartnt that Olivia bought after becoming a celebrity. No one except Jeremy knew about this place.
He stood at the doorstep, waiting until nightfall, his fingers flicking a cigarette, the tip glowing on and off.
He usually displayed a mild-mannered disposition and rarely smoked, as it didn’t match his public image.
Only Olivia knew how rebellious he was beneath his gentle exterior.
During wild nights of drunkenness, he suddenly realized that he could only be his true self around Olivia.
The elevator doors opened, and Jeremy quickly spotted a familiar face.
Olivia was bleary-eyed and leaning heavily on a man’s shoulder, looking like she’d collapsed in a heap.
The man was good-looking, with fair skin tinged pink, clearly bashful, yet holding onto her arm firmly, acting both protective and cautious.
“Olivia Sawyer.” Jeremy’s voice was cold as he put out his cigarette on the trash bin, reached out, and steadied Olivia. “Thank you for bringing her ho.”
As he finished speaking, he tried to brush the man aside, but the man looked back at him warily. “Who are you?”
Jeremy didn’t respond, his eyes fixed on Olivia’s hand.
Her slender arm was draped over the man’s neck, and her long fingers playfully pinched his face. “Mmm, nice skin. You’ll do tonight. Help inside.”
The man’s face quickly flushed. “Olivia, I…”
He was just a young actor fresh out of graduation. At a cast party, Olivia had too much to drink and asked him to take her ho for reasons he couldn’t fathom.
Faced with the top-tier celebrity’s “decree,” he was both embarrassed and elated.
Now, hearing Olivia say such things in front of soone else, he could hardly maintain his composure.
“Olivia Sawyer!” Jeremy, suppressing his anger, forcefully unwrapped her hand. “You’ve arrived ho.”
“Thank you, she’s not thinking straight because she’s drunk. You can go now.” Jeremy had no choice but to give the man his marching orders.
Although the man was shy, he wasn’t a fool. His clear eyes t Jeremy’s, with a smile on his lips. “I’m not leaving. I’ll stay here and take care of her.”
Since Olivia had personally asked him to look after her, how could he abandon her?
“Not necessary.” Jeremy gritted his teeth, finding it difficult to control his temper even with his good nature.
He didn’t know what had co over him.
It seed like ever since Olivia blocked him, everything had gone in a strange direction.
“Brother Night, are you in love with her?”
His friend’s words echoed in his ears once again.
Jeremy forcefully suppressed his thoughts, his anger seething.
“You don’t need to take care of her; I can do that.” As he spoke those words, the knot in Jeremy’s heart instantly eased. “Sir, you can leave now.”
The young man glanced at the sleepy and drunken Olivia, and, as if struck by an idea, not only didn’t let go of her but embraced her more tightly.
“I’m not leaving. You’re not her boyfriend; what right do you have to kick out?” The young man’s expression shifted from innocent to defiance, his chin raised as he stared coldly at Jeremy. “I know who you are—you’re the friend who’s been pestering her lately. She’s blocked you, and yet you’re still haunting her like a restless spirit?”
A restless spirit…
Even with his good nature, Jeremy couldn’t take it anymore at that mont.
