Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Serial Cheater

Translator: 549690339

“How I act isn’t important, what’s important is what Mr. Gallagher would do?” A slight curve appeared in her beautiful eyes, “I need a guarantee from Mr. Gallagher that he will stop helping Isabelle Richardson.”

Michael Gallagher silently met her gaze, his clear eyes, like deep pools, were filled with complicated thoughts.

He wanted to explain that he hadn’t helped Isabelle. In the end, everything was condensed into a single word: “Okay”.

Molly Walker finally felt at ease and her mood lifted considerably.

She didn’t ask Michael Gallagher why he agreed with her, she only smiled and assured him: “I will definitely win the award.”

She felt that Michael Gallagher changed his attitude all of a sudden today, perhaps it was because of the design competition, or at the very least it was due to the matter with Arthur Leaford.

She didn’t expect that Michael Gallagher would be easy to persuade when he asked for help, this reminded her of their life before the divorce – he was just like that, simply agreeing without questioning anything.

Molly Walker shook off the memories in her head and bid him farewell with a smile.

After she left, Michael Gallagher stood in his original position for a long time.

This time, there were no heart-wrenching accusations, no tit-for-tat mockery. His mother was right. Perhaps he could try to trust her, to believe that her marriage to him didn’t involve so many schemes.

Molly Walker bought some flowers and daily necessities on the way before returning to her residence.

There was a man standing at the entrance to her house.

Carrying a few things, Jeremy Norman saw her and approached her awkwardly.

“Miss Walker…”

“Mr. Norman?”

Mr. Gallagher had told her that Jeremy Norman had gifted her this suite. Seeing him now, Molly couldn’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable.

She planned to repay the money for the house. She couldn’t accept Jeremy Norman’s house.

“Why are you here?” There was a hint of fatigue in between her brows, her voice was light.

“Your brothers told me they plan to come over for dinner, and asked me to come over and help prepare,” Jeremy Norman said gently.

Only now did Molly Walker see the messages that Joshua Thompson and Damian Thompson had sent her on her cell phone. She didn’t get a chance to look at her messages because she was holding the flowers all the way.

“I’m a good cook, and I have already bought the dishes. I can prepare dinner tonight,” Jeremy Norman said awkwardly.

Molly Walker simply laughed and didn’t say anything. He had come to cook for them, which was probably the reason Joshua Thompson and Damian Thompson asked him over.

“You’ve worked hard.” Molly Walker punched in the code for the combination lock, motioned for him to come in and said, “I will also invite my friends over.”

A new home should be celebrated with a crowd of people.

Seeing that Molly Walker didn’t ask him to leave, Jeremy Norman kept nodding, “Of course, let me know if your friends have any special requests, I can prepare their meals.”

Molly Walker nodded and was about to call Elizabeth Aitken.

At this moment Elizabeth Aitken was being confronted by Aaron Howard.

He brought a group of people to block the entrance of Elizabeth’s company. These people were students hired by him at a rate of nine dollars a day. They wore masks and waved posters of intimate poses between Elizabeth Aitken and Jake Leaford.

Reminded by his colleagues, he found out about the identity of this man.

Jake Leaford, the eldest son of the Leaford family.

Thinking about the fact that Elizabeth would soon receive a relocation compensation of hundreds of thousands of dollars, Aaron Howard became incredibly jealous.

He couldn’t cause trouble for the Thompsons, but he could still deal with Elizabeth, right?

“Elizabeth and I got divorced so she could be with Jake Leaford. She may seem careless every day, but actually she has a bad moral character and messes around.”

“She and her friend Molly Walker are repeat offenders of infidelity. Be careful, when you work with people like these, maybe one day they’ll steal your husbands too!”

Aaron Howard was waving a poster and shouting into a loudspeaker at the entrance.

It was the rush hour, so a crowd quickly gathered.

When Elizabeth Aitken received the news, Aaron Howard had already gathered the crowd and was telling stories in such a vivid way that people were praising him.

Elizabeth Aitken was trembling with rage, she rushed over and tried to punch Aaron Howard, but he dodged and shouted while dodging, “See! You see that, she dare to hit me even in front of so many people! She’s a shrew!”

These colleagues had previously attended Elizabeth’s wedding, seeing Aaron Howard in such a disheveled state, they quickly believed his words.

What they didn’t expect was that Elizabeth Aitken actually cheated on him with Jake Leaford during their marriage.

The eldest son of the Leaford family, a man who could pass through a thousand flowers without a single leaf touching him.

Seeing the poster where she was shyly hiding in Jake Leaford’s arms, Elizabeth couldn’t help but let the tears flow from her eyes.

She felt shame and discomfort at the same time, and it was unbearable for Elizabeth.

If Aaron Howard had only attacked her, it would have been bearable, but the poster with Jake Leaford was a naked humiliation.

Elizabeth gritted her teeth, her head was dizzy and her legs gave out, almost causing her to fall.

Just then, a strong hand held her up, “Are you okay?”

The familiar voice pulled Elizabeth back from her thoughts. Seeing the man in front of her, she was shocked.

“Jake Leaford! ”

Someone exclaimed.

The man of the hour had unexpectedly arrived!

Jake Leaford, dressed in a simple casual suit, did not exhibit annoyance when scrutinized. He just returned Aaron Howard’s gaze with a hint of chill.

Upon closer inspection, several bodyguards accompanied Jake, their indifferent gazes also fixed on Aaron Howard.

Aaron Howard hadn’t anticipated Jake’s arrival this quickly and began to stutter as he clumsily backed away.

His initial plan was to stir up trouble and run, but he hadn’t expected to be caught before he could make his escape.

“What…what do you want?” Aaron Howard soon lost his nerve.

“For defamation—sending you to the police station,” Jake said without glancing at him. At his command, the bodyguards who had been waiting sprang into action, restraining Aaron Howard.

With Aaron Howard looking abashed, Elizabeth Aitken’s anger seemed to vanish like smoke.

Ever since Aaron had slandered her that day, Jake had persistently picked her up on time every day. Despite being scolded by her a few times, he continued to wait for her.

Elizabeth’s gaze drifted to the suggestive posters on the floor. Her heart pounded in her chest as she watched the drama unfold.

“Shall we go?” Jake approached her, his clear and gentle voice a soothing melody.

In front of everyone, Elizabeth found her courage and nodded in affirmation. She stepped forward, falling into stride beside him.

Seeing her tight-lipped determination, Jake’s gaze softened.

“How do you want to get back at him?

Upon hearing these words, Aaron Howard, who was far away, shivered. Struggling, he shouted, “Elizabeth Aitken, don’t go too far. This is a legal society.”

“Legal society.” Jake scoffed. “I’ll give you two options; first, you can go to prison for a decade or so, and second, take a beating.”

Aaron Howard’s face became as white as a ghost.

He didn’t want to pick either option, but he knew the man in front of him was capable of delivering on his threats.

Aaron Howard clenched his teeth, keeping his eyes shut tight as he chose, “I’ll go with the second.”

Jake gestured, keeping his expression neutral. The men holding Aaron Howard immediately acted on the command.

Amidst the excruciating pain, Aaron Howard heard Jake’s chilling directive, “Cripple his hand.”

A cry of agony echoed through the air.

Elizabeth listened without changing expression.

She had long known that crossing Jake meant a terrible outcome. He might appear refined and sunny, but he was merciless and cunning, with treacherous tactics at his disposal.

His definition of a beating meant leaving someone handicapped.

Listening to Aaron’s cries of pain and shrieks, Elizabeth felt no sympathy.

Aaron had tried to ruin her today. If he wasn’t taught a lesson this time, there would be a next time.

At that moment, the vibration of her cell phone echoed louder with each wave.

Elizabeth checked; it was a call from Molly Walker.

“Elizabeth, are you free to come over for dinner tonight? I’ve moved into a new house and wanted to celebrate with a meal,” came Molly’s voice.

“Of course, I’ll make time.” Upon hearing Molly mention moving into a new house, Elizabeth agreed at once.

Standing next to her, Jake, with his keen hearing, barged into the conversation.

“You moved into a new house? I should come too.’

Molly, hearing Jake’s words, helplessly conceded, “I suppose we can all come.”

Since it was a celebration, she couldn’t well reject the guests, could she?

Molly made a slight face as she ended the call and started to make arrangements.

An hour later, the doorbell rang.

Molly opened the door, momentarily stunned.

Outside, in addition to Elizabeth and Jake, there was an unexpected guest— Michael Gallagher.

“I invited Michael over too. I hope we’re not intruding?” Jake said, his smile innocent.

Michael Gallagher, dressed in black, stood aloofly in the corridor, his gaze falling lightly on her. “Congratulations on your move.”

Molly hadn’t expected Michael Gallagher’s attendance.

It was then that Jeremy Norman, in the kitchen, heard the commotion.

“Are they all here? The food is ready as well…”

The sentence abruptly ended.

Jeremy Norman, in his apron, stood in the middle of the living room, looking every part the man of the house. However, his face held a hint of discomfort. Clearly, he wasn’t welcoming some of the uninvited guests..
