Second Brother

Translator: 549690339

“What if she’s my sister? If she continues like this, I don’t mind not having such a sister.” Joshua Thompson brushed back his blond bangs, “The outrageous things she’s been doing recently are all spoiled by you. Not teaching her when she needs it, that’s why she acts like a spoiled princess.”

“Gillian’s like this because she’s afraid of losing us.” Nicholas Thompson thought of something and looked at Molly Walker with a complex expression, “As her brothers, we should pay more attention to her mental state, rather than sarcastically mocking her.”

“Who will care about Ivy’s mental state then?”

“They were both adopted, so why is she the only one being pampered?”

After Joshua Thompson finished speaking, Nicholas subconsciously glanced at Molly Walker and remained silent.

Joshua Thompson crossed his arms, nonchalantly saying, “Let Gillian have you, the good second brother, to look after her. My brother and I prefer Ivy. Besides, we’re all brothers, don’t play moral abduction games or it won’t be pretty when we get physical.”

Hearing the mention of getting physical, Nicholas Thompson frowned and was about to say something when Molly Walker interrupted him, “Nicholas

Thompson, may I ask you a question?”

She looked at him steadily, her eyes clear and her voice cold.

She called Damian Thompson ‘brother’ and Joshua Thompson ‘third brother’, but would only call him by his full name.

Nicholas’s eyes lowered, hiding the disappointment in them.

“If it happens again, and Gillian says that I hurt her in some way, will you once again blindly stand by her side?”

After she finished speaking, Nicholas Thompson looked startled.

Molly Walker chuckled softly, “If so, then please don’t use your identity as a second brother to discipline me.” “Because I never considered you as my second brother.”

Nicholas Thompson shuddered.

Not considering him as her brother meant that he couldn’t use his identity as the second brother to discipline her.

She accepted her father, mother, older brother, and youngest brother, but refused to accept him.

It would be a lie to say that it didn’t hurt.

He opened his mouth, and his heart felt like it was being pressed by a huge boulder, making it hard to breathe and turning his face pale.

Without waiting for his reply, Molly Walker had already left.

Her hand was still in her pocket as she left.

In it was the same small gift.

Originally, this gift was meant for Nicholas Thompson.

Now, there was no need for it anymore.

Both the gift and the person would be abandoned.

Molly Walker wasn’t upset about Nicholas Thompson’s favoritism towards Gillian because her older brother and younger brother also favored her. It’s hard to treat everyone evenly, but as long as there were people on her side, she wouldn’t be alone.

However, she’s not a pushover, to be easily manipulated by others.

Like her third brother, she didn’t like to be morally manipulated either.

She unlocked her cellphone, and at that moment, Harry Lambert sent her an investigation report.

Immediately, her eyes landed on Gillian’s name.

Harry Lambert said that the Richardson family didn’t give Isabelle the seven hundred fifty thousand dollars. The money Isabelle used to hire the hitman came from another account.

And that account belonged to Gillian’s overseas card.

“Do you want me to continue the investigation?” Harry Lambert asked.

Molly Walker kept her eyes lowered, and her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings.

“Investigate.”

She hoped the result wouldn’t be what she thought.

If the one who hired the hitman to kill wasn’t Isabelle, but Gillian…

Then she was sorry.

She had lost her family once and experienced that pain. In the future, she never wanted to lose anyone again.

Nicholas Thompson went upstairs in a daze. As he opened the door, Gillian’s video call came through.

After answering the call, Gillian’s laughing face appeared on the screen.

“Second brother, can you bring me De Family’s Roast Duck and Wang Family’s Rice Noodle Rolls when you come to see me tonight?”

Nicholas Thompson interrupted her, “Gillian, I’m not going to the hospital tonight.”

Gillian’s smile froze on her face, her voice anxious, “What happened, second brother? Didn’t you say you would come to see me every night… What happened?”

Nicholas Thompson looked at her on the screen and said, “The police investigation results are out, Gillian. Ivy never actually touched you.”

Gillian’s face turned deathly pale.

“You said someone pushed you at the time. If it wasn’t Ivy, who else could it

There was a heavy sense of exhaustion in Nichola’s calm words.

Gillian bit her lower lip hard until the taste of blood spread before she choked out, “l don’t know… but at that time, I really felt someone pushing me…”

“Since the police have made their investigation clear, Ivy definitely didn’t push you. But second brother, I didn’t lie…”

“You made me misunderstand Ivy.” Nichola!s voice was very faint.

When Gillian heard this, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Now there was no one left in the Thompson family to help her, except for her second brother. Everyone else had sided with Molly Walker.

If she lost her second brother’s support, everything in the Thompson family would be beyond her reach in the future.

She had enjoyed being the center of attention and the luxurious life for over twenty years. She couldn’t change from riches to frugality.

She panicked, “l was unconscious at that time, and I had no idea that you misunderstood my sister. I explained later in the hospital that my sister couldn’t have pushed me, but I don’t know why you didn’t believe me.”

As Gillian spoke, her long eyelashes caught teardrops that were about to fall.

Nicholas Thompson held the phone, his entire body frozen in place.

That’s right, Gillian was unconscious at the time, and he instinctively blamed her.

No one forced him. It was him who had decided that Ivy was the bad guy.

It wasn’t Gillian’s fault. What he should blame and reflect upon was himself.

Thinking of Molly Walker’s words, “l never considered you as my second brother,” Nicholas Thompson’s hand holding the phone went limp, suddenly feeling exhausted.

“Gillian, I’m a bit tired.” Before Gillian could say another word, he hung up the phone listlessly.

Gillian’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

This was the first time her second brother had ever hung up on her.

Her second brother was the person who loved her the most, and he would never have treated her like this before. It was all because of Molly Walker.

She looked at the chat dialogue on her phone and her face darkened.

She had heard that Mr. Cunningham had come to Sunnydale University. Mr. Cunningham had once mentored her and considered her his star pupil. She would go to him for further study every year.

Thompson Group’s main business area was property, and she had been studying architecture since she was young. Since Mr. Cunningham was here, she would of course go support him.

She had originally planned to discuss this matter with her second brother tonight, but she couldn’t wait any longer.

How did they end up like this?

She looked at the empty hospital room and suddenly felt a bit lost.

There was a knock on the door, and she pulled herself out of her thoughts, coldly saying, “Come in.”

When she saw the people who entered the room, Gillian frowned, “What are you doing here?”

A middle-aged woman with red curly hair, wearing a traditional long dress, and a man in a suit stood at the door looking awkward. Clearly, they had put a lot of effort into their appearance, but the man’s snakeskin bag looked very out of place.

Gillian looked at them with disgust and disdain on her face.

“Why are you dressed like this? Didn’t I give you money? Can’t afford to buy clothes now?”

The middle-aged woman walked over with her head held high, “This dress was worn by your foster mother, right? I saw it in a store and bought it.. How about it? Doesn’t your real mother wear it just as well?”
