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

Chapter 349: Chapter 348: Nicholas Thompson’s Inner Struggle

Such a gentle Damian Thompson was not only something she had never seen before but also something no one else in the Thompson family had seen.

The way Damian was drying Grace’s hair made the tense atmosphere suddenly turn ambiguous.

Looking at this scene, Amanda’s previously angry mood suddenly calmed down.

She scrutinized Grace carefully; her eyes looked exactly like those of her good friend. Moreover, Grace had helped her humiliate Phoebe, which made her feel even more positive towards her.

She would be satisfied if a girl like her became her daughter-in-law.

“Brother, why don’t you take her to the hospital first?” Molly looked closely at Grace’s face. It looked a bit red on the forehead, probably due to a burn from the dishes.

Damian nodded, and Grace felt embarrassed.

Being alone with Damian would only further verify Gillian’s words, making her feel awkward and embarrassed.

“There’s no need, I’m not hurt. I just need to take a shower.”

Damian’s actions to dry her hair made her anxious, and her heart beat uncontrollably.

She kept persuading herself not to fall for him.

“Go to the hospital. There’s a little redness on your forehead. If you don’t treat it in time, it could leave a scar.”

Hearing Damian mention a scar, a hint of panic flashed through Grace’s eyes.

A scar?

She didn’t want a scar!

At this moment, Vivian walked over and said to them, “I’ll go with you.”

She looked deeply at Grace and then turned to Damian, kindly advising, “After what Gillian said, Grace must not want to be misunderstood any further. If Mr. Thompson takes her to the hospital, she certainly won’t go.”

“Why don’t I go with you? This way, we can avoid any misunderstandings. Right, Grace?”

Vivian winked at Grace: “You don’t want to be misunderstood for seducing young Master Thompson, right?”

Grace looked at Damian, her lips pressed tightly, not responding.

Vivian’s words put her in an awkward position.

No matter what she said or didn’t say, she would feel embarrassed.

Molly glanced at Vivian, her brow raising slightly.

This girl with glasses seemed considerate, but her words were full of thorns.

Seeing Molly look at her, Vivian smiled warmly and greeted her, “Hello, Miss Ivy, I’m Vivian Wilson. I will soon become young Master Thompson’s assistant.”

Vivian Wilson…

Molly’s lips curled up slightly. She remembered that her brother had hired some kind of assistant, apparently an heiress from the Wilson family named Vivian Wilson.

Since her brother took over the Thompson Group, he was very busy with many things, and it was inevitable that he would need an assistant for handling small tasks.

However, she didn’t have a good impression of Vivian. She remembered that a moment ago, she seemed to be siding with Gillian.

When Molly ignored her, Vivian’s heart thumped with unease.

She didn’t know where she had offended the newly arrived fourth daughter of the Thompson family.

“Sister,” Grace hesitated, “Please accompany me to the hospital.”

Damian’s gaze made her anxious and nervous. If she didn’t go to the hospital, the matter might not be settled.

Although she didn’t want Vivian to go with her, she had no choice but to make a decision now that she was in this position.

Hearing that she wanted her to go, Vivian’s expression relaxed.

It seemed that Grace knew how to be tactful.

Damian didn’t say anything. With Grace being so young, having a scandalous relationship with him would be bad for her. It was just right to have Vivian accompany them.

After they left, Gillian nervously sat down on the chair, glancing at Molly from time to time and then looking at Nicholas.

If it were before, Molly wouldn’t care about Gillian’s business anymore. But now, it seemed that not caring might be seen as indulgence.

“I remember that before going to school, you said she wasn’t studying at this school.” Molly took the initiative to speak, her hands crossed on her chest, looking calmly at Nicholas.

Nicholas paused, his expression unnatural, “Gillian can receive a good education at this school.”

“Then she should go to the Women’s Virtue class.” Joshua mocked lazily, “Send this ‘goddess’ away as soon as possible, Nicholas. You really have a hole in your brain. You don’t get rid of her, and you actually plan to support her for a lifetime? You don’t mind spending money, but I think it’s a disgrace.”

Joshua Thompson’s face was livid. Gillian Thompson, with a red face, begged Joshua, “Third Brother, I’ve already paid the tuition, please let me finish this term. After I finish the courses for this semester, I will immediately go back to our hometown and farm. I won’t bother you all again, okay?”

If she were to be expelled midway, she would definitely be laughed at by her classmates.

The classmates and teachers here didn’t ridicule her for being an adopted daughter of the Thompson family, but they were more friendly to her because of the recent high-profile of the Thompson family.

She enjoyed the star treatment at school. If she were expelled now, it would be like slapping herself in the face in front of everyone.

Gillian Thompson’s pitiful appearance didn’t move Joshua.

Seeing that Nicholas Thompson’s expression was somewhat loosened, Joshua dropped a heavy bomb, “Nicholas Thompson, if it was you who got hit by a car at that time, would you not be so brain-damaged now?”

Nicholas Thompson’s expression paused.

Joshua sneered coldly, “My favorite car was ruined by her, and now there’s a scar on it. I’m telling you now, if you want to keep her, there won’t be a third brother like me anymore. It’s either her or me, you choose.”

“Third Brother…” Gillian Thompson’s eyes were red from crying, she didn’t expect Joshua to be so heartless.

“Shut up,” Joshua glared at her with disgust, “Stop calling me ‘Brother’, are you a f***ing pigeon spirit?”

Gillian Thompson’s expression was stunned, her tears hung on her eyelashes, as if she had forgotten her next move.

Nicholas Thompson looked at Gillian Thompson like this and sighed deeply in his heart.

This time, it was mainly because Gabriel wasn’t sensible. He had told her to keep a low profile, but she had gotten into trouble again.

If he continues to protect Gillian, his whole family might cut off their ties with him.

“I’ll talk to her for a bit.” Nicholas Thompson showed complexity in his face.

Hearing this, Gillian Thompson’s face turned pale.

This time, Nicholas Thompson had also lost patience with her.

Just as several people were leaving the room, Molly Walker asked Joshua, “Do they have some sort of story?”

With Nicholas Thompson’s character, he shouldn’t be so unreasonable.

After all, he is a legal professional and shouldn’t be so biased.

Unless there was some other bond between the two.

“Gillian Thompson was the sister chosen by Second Brother in the orphanage,” Joshua said with a slight smile. “At that time, when you went missing, our whole family was very anxious, and Mom fell ill. Our family decided to adopt a child from the orphanage. It could both accumulate merit for the missing you and alleviate Mom’s illness. Second Brother selected Gillian Thompson among the many candidates. At that time, another family also chose Gillian Thompson. It was Second Brother who persuaded her to choose us.”

Hearing this, Molly understood.

No wonder Nicholas Thompson was so “responsible” for Gillian Thompson. From such a young age, her life had been linked with his.

“Actually, Gillian Thompson chose us with impure motives at the time, but we all thought that time could change everything,” Joshua’s eyes became distant, and the smile on his lips made people tremble. “If it wasn’t for you coming back, we still wouldn’t know about Gillian Thompson’s character.”

Molly lowered her eyelashes and thought of the series of bizarre things that Gillian Thompson had done, such as hiring a killer to kill her brother, employing someone to impersonate herself, concealing the fact that she had found her biological parents, and angering people with the accumulation of these events.

However, Nicholas Thompson ignored all of this and chose to blindly help Gillian Thompson.

Thinking of the dishes on Grace Harrison’s head, Molly’s eyebrows knotted together.

If Gillian Thompson continues to live outside under the Thompson family name, in the future, she would only bring shame to the Thompson family.

If Nicholas Thompson doesn’t make a choice this time, she would have to take action herself.

Gillian Thompson’s character, wherever she goes, would bring shame to the Thompson family.

Now the Thompson family is managed by her brother, and her brother’s reputation must not be ruined by the likes of Gillian Thompson.

“Send a message,” Molly’s beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. “The Thompson family has nothing to do with Gillian Thompson anymore.”

Only in this way can Gillian Thompson be unable to use the Thompson family name to do things.

“It should have been this way long ago.” Joshua didn’t agree or disagree, but smiled playfully. “If it wasn’t for that fool Nicholas Thompson protecting her, I would have beaten Gillian Thompson so hard she’d be looking for her teeth all over the floor.”

He managed to save his own life, but Gillian Thompson lived well and didn’t receive any lessons.

The more Joshua thought about it, the angrier he became and suddenly laughed, “Why don’t we add Nicholas Thompson’s name there as well? We don’t need such a second brother either.”

The distance between the two people talking was not far from this room, and this sentence was exactly heard by Nicholas Thompson as he walked out.
