Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Refusing to Leave

Translator: 549690339

Amanda Leaford looked at her tenderly and sighed softly.

“I’ll be heading back in a couple of days,” Jeremy Norman smiled slightly, “I was thinking before I leave Sunnydale, could you show me around and have some fun?”

Molly Walker recalled when she first took on the task, she had promised to take Jeremy out for fun but things fell through due to Michael Gallagher’s interference.

Time had passed, and he was about to leave the place, but she had never really been a good tour guide.

As she hesitated, Gillian Thompson hurriedly spoke up, “My sister is pregnant and needs to rest. I can take you out instead.”

The atmosphere turned cold for a few seconds.

Everyone knew Jeremy deliberately wanted Molly to accompany him, but they didn’t expect someone to be so clueless.

Gillian’s expression was open, not feeling embarrassed at all.

Instead of relying on others, why not rely on herself? She had admitted her feelings for Jeremy, so what’s wrong with pursuing him now?

Even if she lost face, as long as she could be with Jeremy in the end, the process didn’t matter.

“What, am I not good enough?” Gillian seemed to ignore everyone’s awkward expressions, pushing her wheelchair beside Jeremy and asking, “Or does Mr. Norman look down on me because I’m disabled?”

Jeremy waved his hands repeatedly, “Of course not ”

“Since you don’t look down on me, my sister can do it, and so can I. You may not know, Mr. Norman, but my leg amputation is also related to my sister.”

The atmosphere chilled in an instant, not only Molly but everyone’s eyes were on Gillian.

Gillian’s smile showed a hint of coldness, and her entire temperament changed.

Ignoring Amanda’s warning eyes, she didn’t even bother to hide her feelings.

Since Amanda had already decided that she was a bad person and insisted on sending her back to the old house, she might as well break the jar and move out on her own.

“Dad, Mom, I’ve decided to move out of the mansion and won’t use the family’s money anymore.” After saying this, she threw a stack of cards on the table in front of everyone, “From now on, I’ll earn money with my own hands. I won’t take anything from the Thompson family, so as not to make some people think I’m clinging to them.”

Gillian raised her chin defiantly, her eyes brimming with tears, looking both stubborn and pitiful.

This was like slapping the Thompson family’s face in front of Jeremy.

Daniel Thompson’s face was red with shame, and he scolded harshly, “Where do you plan to go?”

All the houses under Gillian’s name were from the family, and they had been paying for her leg treatment. Daniel couldn’t bear the thought of her living in hardship outside.

After all, she was a child he had watched grow up and put his heart into, so it still pained him somewhat.

“Since I’ve already agreed to your friend, I won’t make you go back to the old house. Just stay here in peace. As long as I’m alive, you’ll be my daughter, and nobody can change that! The family’s shares will also include your part.”

As soon as Daniel’s words fell, Gillian’s tears flowed down, looking so pitiful that it was difficult not to feel sympathy.

“Thank you, Dad. With your words, I can be at ease.”

“Crocodile tears ” Amanda sighed softly, not knowing what to think of her husband’s actions.

Gillian had dug such a big hole, but he was more than willing to jump in, not only becoming more confused with age but also because of his ego.

Molly sat aside, a smile forming at the corner of her lips, and let out a soft laugh.

Gillian had created such a scene just for Daniel to say those words to her, she really knew how to let go.

Nicholas Thompson picked up the stack of cards on the table, intending to hand them to Gillian, but Joshua Thompson grabbed them instead, “Didn’t she say she won’t spend the family’s money from now on? Since she said it, let’s not make our Fifth Sister a person who goes back on her word.”

After saying that, he quickly handed the cards to Molly.

Looking at the stack of cards, Molly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn’t refuse and put them in her bag instead.

Seeing the card being taken away, Gillian Thompson’s face changed slightly, biting her lower lip tightly, trying to maintain a calm appearance.

She just now was retreating as a way to advance and didn’t really intend to hand over the card, but she didn’t expect it to fall into Molly Walker’s hands.

Joshua Thompson saw Molly holding the card and wanted to say something, but held back in the end.

It wasn’t easy for their relationship with Molly to ease a little, and he didn’t want to break it again, so he took out his own card and gave it to Gillian Thompson.

Molly glanced at him lightly, smiling without saying anything.

Even though Gillian Thompson had done so many bad things, Daniel Thompson and Joshua Thompson hadn’t given up on her. Perhaps this was why Gillian felt confident and unafraid.

Joshua Thompson dared not look at Molly, and said to Jeremy Norman, “Jeremy, tomorrow, Gillian and I will be your tour guides together. There are many private delicacies in Sunnydale that we can take you to eat.”

It’s rare to see Gillian so fond of someone, and since Molly didn’t like it, he took the initiative to play matchmaker.

Joshua Thompson thought that as long as Gillian Thompson got married, their family might be more peaceful.

Jeremy couldn’t refuse now, looking at Molly and seeing that she had no objection. Jeremy smiled gently, “Then I’ll trouble you.”

She didn’t expect Joshua Thompson to help her, and Gillian Thompson’s eyes reddened more and more.

After everyone dispersed, Joshua Thompson sent Gillian Thompson back to her room. At the door, Gillian Thompson thanked Joshua Thompson.

” I’ve said before, if you’re willing to change, I’m still your second brother.” Joshua Thompson’s face was calm, and his tone was steady, “You said in front of Jeremy today that Ivy was the one who did this to your leg. Are you still blaming Ivy?”

Gillian Thompson’s face went slightly pale, and she said softly, “No, I just said it casually ”

“At that time, you ran out on your own, and it had nothing directly to do with her.” Seeing Gillian Thompson’s face getting paler, Joshua Thompson unconsciously softened his voice, “As long as the family is harmonious, Dad and I will protect you.”

“Yes.” Gillian Thompson lowered her head nervously, “I know I was wrong, and I will treat my sister well from now on. I will never make a mistake again.”

Joshua Thompson nodded lightly, and after thinking for a while, said, “Actually, Jeremy Norman doesn’t suit you.”

“I know,” Gillian Thompson gave a bitter smile, “I’m a disabled person, so I don’t qualify to marry Jeremy Norman.”

Hearing her self-deprecating words, Joshua Thompson frowned, “You don’t have to worry about that. With advances in technology, as long as you recover well, you’ll look no different from an ordinary person.”

Look no different from an ordinary person

Gillian Thompson pursed her lips and sneered; that wouldn’t be ordinary either.

“If you like Jeremy Norman, I’ll help you, but fate can’t be forced. If in the end, it’s not what you want, don’t blame others.”

Hearing him mention matchmaking, Gillian Thompson was happy, but as it went on, she felt colder and colder.

Blame others, blame who? Ivy Thompson?

“So, the reason second brother is telling me all this is for fear that I’ll hate my sister, huh ”

” ”

Gillian Thompson grinned, “Don’t worry, I won’t hate her. Without her being born, Mom and Dad wouldn’t have adopted me, and I wouldn’t have lived this good life for so many years. I should thank her, how could I hate her?”

“It’s best if you think that way.” Joshua Thompson wanted to advise her more, but seeing her tiring appearance, he smiled and handed her a card, “This is my private money that Mom and Dad don’t know about. Take it.”

Seeing the card, Gillian Thompson’s eyes reddened, and her nose felt uncomfortable, “Thank you, second brother.”

Joshua Thompson put it in her hand, whispering, “If you lack money, find me. I’ll always be your second brother.”

Gillian Thompson’s eyes were misty.

Watching Joshua Thompson’s departing back, she sniffed and clenched the card in her hand tightly. Suddenly, a force snatched the card away.

Gillian Thompson’s heart skipped a beat, raising her head and saw Daniel Thompson with eyes that constricted in shock, “Third brother!”
