Chapter 466: Chapter 463: Not Him
What Nicholas Thompson had said inadvertently reminded him.
If the Norman family had recently offended anyone, aside from Michael Gallagher, there was no one else.
Since the Jenkins family was behind the attack, he needed to ask what Michael Gallagher was trying to do.
The doorbell rang a few tis, then finally, soone ca out.
“What are you here for?”
Seeing Jeremy Norman, Michael Gallagher looked displeased.
This place was usually peaceful, others didn’t know he had bought a house here, and now, people who shouldn’t have co had visiting two days in a row.
They even rudely interrupted his “pleasant ti” with Molly Walker.
Seeing the annoyed look on Michael Gallagher’s face, Jeremy Norman laughed as he took in the house: “I heard property here costs a fortune, not everyone can afford a house in this area, even if they have the money. I didn’t expect you to have bought one.”
“Mr. Jenkins is indeed not an ordinary person…”
“Cut the crap, get to the point,” Michael Gallagher, interrupting, frowned.
He wouldn’t have co without a reason. He couldn’t have co all this way just to gossip.
“Sothing happened to our family recently, and the Jenkins people left their traces. I want to ask if you are the one behind it.”
Michael Gallagher, arms crossed, laughed coldly, “Is that all?”
“Jeremy Norman, your intelligence was at least good enough to take part in the Orientopia Math Competition. How did you beco so stupid? I have been doing things recently, but your family is not worth my effort.”
Michael spoke indifferently, his tone nonchalant.
“If it wasn’t you, could it be Jerry Jenkins?” Jeremy smiled, “If I rember correctly, he should still be inside, and not due to be released anyti soon.”
“Michael Gallagher, if you have a problem, confront directly. Don’t take it out on my father’s company.”
Michael Gallagher smirked and was about to leave when Jeremy spoke again: “Jerry Jenkins may not have the ability, but you and I know better, Michael Gallagher. I know you’re targeting Samuel Richardson, but if you want to ss with my family, I won’t sit by idly.”
“It’s not him,”
Molly Walker ca out from inside the house.
She had been eavesdropping just now, seeing Jeremy misunderstanding Michael, she couldn’t help but co out to explain.
“He promised that he won’t touch your family. It’s Jerry Jenkins who did it.”
Molly smiled apologetically as she approached, “I’m sorry, I overheard your conversation.”
“You… you guys…” Seeing Molly, Jeremy was montarily speechless, “Molly, you… you stayed here last night?”
It was early morning, and yet Molly was coming out of Michael’s house.
Seeing Jeremy’s pained expression, Michael acted instantly reaching out and wrapping her waist, “Yeah, she stayed here last night and plans to stay here from now on.”
He sounded sowhat provocative and triumphant.
Molly opened her eyes wide and gave Michael a warning glance.
Michael was deliberately misleading.
Nothing happened between them yesterday. Concerned about her health, Michael kept his distance from her, even slept on the floor.
But he was restless all night, frequently going to the bathroom to freshen up, as if he was attempting to cover sothing up.
Jeremy looked at Molly. Seeing that she showed no resistance, his eyelashes trembled, dropping slowly.
“Jeremy, no matter how you look at it, we are still friends. I do have ties with Michael in business lately, but we haven’t done anything to your family.”
Molly spoke softly, slowly explaining the circumstances.
They moved against the Richardson family after Isabelle’s death, when Samuel Richardson wanted to bring them down together.
She couldn’t touch Samuel Richardson, she could only retaliate against him in business.
She even checked the companies affiliated with Samuel Richardson, the Norman family was not listed.
Seeing Molly, Jeremy couldn’t pinpoint the feelings in his heart, but felt a prickly pain.
Knowing that Michael Gallagher had given up on “W”, he willingly withdrew. But seeing her and Michael Gallagher together, he couldn’t be completely indifferent.
She has been held closest to his heart for so many years.
To truly say ‘give up’ is like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, it’s painful and bitter.
“Jeremy Norman, believe , even if I don’t like your father at all, even if your father has done things that harm my Uncle, I have never thought of revenge, because you, are my friend.”
Molly Walker gave a bitter smile.
She has a fatal flaw: caring too much about human feelings.
Maybe because of her lack of family bonds since childhood, she cares a lot about friendship and family.
Jeremy’s father has done so outrageous things, but not enough for her to retaliate.
And, Jeremy Norman is her friend. She doesn’t have a reason, and doesn’t want to do anything of the sort.
“Okay, since you say there’s nothing, I’ll believe you.” Jeremy Norman sighs with relief, “Molly, I believe you.”
“If Nicholas Thompson said it was the Jenkins family, I wouldn’t have panicked. Sorry, I should have investigated first.”
“Nicholas Thompson…” Molly Walker frowned, “Did he tell you about this?”
“Yes.” Jeremy Norman nodded, as if rembering sothing, he added, “But he didn’t na anyone specifically. He just said it was soone from the Jenkins family. I automatically excluded Jerry Jenkins, but I forgot that he was no longer a fool. Even if he is inside, he can have soone outside to do things.”
Molly Walker fell silent.
Hearing that Nicholas Thompson was stirring things up, a surge of anger welled up in her heart.
Because he is family, all she could do was to distance herself from him. However, if Nicholas Thompson dares to target them, she wouldn’t mind severing family ties for justice.
“Oh, right, Nicholas Thompson also asked to do sothing.” Jeremy Norman sighed, his gaze falling on Molly Walker, “He asked to marry Gillian Thompson, I didn’t agree.”
“Marry… Gillian Thompson?”
Molly Walker’s eyes widened.
This is completely absurd.
“Doesn’t Gillian Thompson have a boyfriend? How could he still want you to marry her…”
“Maybe… Nicholas Thompson is not satisfied with his brother-in-law? I also find it odd. He said if I were to marry Gillian Thompson, he could help my family’s company overco difficulties.”
“…” The corner of Molly Walker’s lips twitched, “For his sister, he really has gone to great lengths.”
“I didn’t agree, I don’t feel anything for Gillian Thompson, even I can say… I hate her.” A cold and disgusted look flashed in Jeremy Norman’s eyes.
No one knows, he actually has a serious cleanliness fetish when it cos to feelings.
The ti when he was manipulated by Gillian Thompson, his disgust reached a peak.
If Gillian Thompson hadn’t caused so much trouble, the relationship between Molly Walker and the Thompson family wouldn’t be this bad.
Gillian Thompson’s personality makes her unsuitable to be a lover, let alone a friend.
“Jeremy Norman, we are friends. If you encounter trouble, I won’t allow you to be threatened.”
Thinking of Nicholas Thompson’s actions, Molly Walker felt uncomfortable.
As a mber of the Thompson family, for Gillian Thompson, Nicholas Thompson made such a deal with Jeremy Norman, it is really chilling.
Nicholas Thompson only thought that Gillian Thompson liked Jeremy Norman, but he never thought whether Jeremy Norman liked Gillian Thompson.
Forced love doesn’t bring happiness, Nicholas Thompson must be crazy!
“Thank you.” Hearing Molly Walker’s words, Jeremy Norman smiled happily.
Although he couldn’t beco lovers with Molly Walker, being a friend in her heart was also a kind of comfort.
He looked at the sowhat dark-faced Michael Gallagher with a smiling face, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
Michael Gallagher can prevent him and Molly Walker from being together, but he couldn’t stop their friendship.
“Molly is right, her friends are my friends. We can’t stand by and watch you be threatened, and marry a venomous woman, to suffer for a lifeti.” The smile on Michael Gallagher’s face was inscrutable, “Jeremy Norman, if you have any difficulties, tell . I will help you.”
