Chapter 216: Chapter 216: The Person Pretending to Sleep

Translator: 549690339

“Second brother  What do you mean?” Gillian Thompson bit her lower lip, protesting weakly, “If not me, then who else?”

Being stared at by Joshua Thompson, she felt somewhat guilty, her heart beating wildly.

Joshua Thompson scoffed. “Dare you swear to heaven?”

Gillian Thompson was stunned, her face terribly pale.

“Joshua Thompson, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to force your sister to confess?” Daniel Thompson’s expression was colder than ice. “Will she admit if she didn’t do it? Not everyone is as recalcitrant as you!”

“As recalcitrant as me?” Joshua Thompson laughed not in anger but in amusement. “Alright, very good, I am waiting for you to slap yourself in the face!”

No wonder Molly Walker had stopped him from speaking, because talking would be pointless.

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, unless that person decides to wake up themselves.

“Father, although Joshua is unfettered by convention, he’s not a person who seeks trouble without reason.” Damian Thompson’s eyes were clear, and beneath his gold-rimmed glasses was a deep, unreadable blackness.

“Joshua, if Gillian didn’t make that call, then who did?”

As he asked this question, he already had the answer at the bottom of his heart.

He just wanted their father to hear it with his own ears, not to harbor such deep hostility towards Molly Walker.

It was strange. When Ivy was first recognized, his father was obviously very happy. So why did father and daughter seem more like enemies now?

He glanced at Gillian Thompson and saw that her face was extremely pale, her body was swaying like a piece of paper, as if she would fall at any moment.

Gillian Thompson’s heart shrank violently, as countless thoughts were battling in her mind and her heart was racing.

Second brother knows!

He knows the call wasn’t made by me!

She couldn’t panic. If the call wasn’t made by her, it had to be Violet Summers, who else would have a connection with the ‘W’ organization?

If she didn’t speak up, and Violet didn’t speak up, no one would know.

In her daze, she felt a mocking gaze fall upon her.

Locking eyes with Molly Walker’s amused gaze, Gillian Thompson was suddenly horrified, a thought emerging in her mind.

Could the person who made the call actually be Molly Walker?

No, impossible! How could a country bumpkin like Molly Walker have a connection to the ‘W’ organization!

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Under Joshua Thompson’s ridicule and Daniel Thompson’s suspicious gaze, the string in her mind suddenly snapped.

She closed her eyes, her body swaying, and with a “thud”, she fell to the ground.

“Gillian!”

“Fifth Sister!”

Seeing Gillian Thompson’s closed eyes and Daniel Thompson’s panicked expression, Molly Walker hooked her lips, her eyes cold as water.

Without hesitation, she turned and walked step by step out of the house.

Outside, the night was as dark as ink and the cold wind was piercingly sharp.

Inside the house was a flurry of panic, which was a stark contrast to the tranquility outside.

“Why didn’t you explain to him that you made the call?”

Joshua Thompson’s furious voice shattered the silence of the night.

He knew that Molly Walker didn’t care about anything to do with the Thompson family, but it was infuriating to see her simply concede to Gillian Thompson.

“Even if I had explained, he wouldn’t believe me,” Molly Walker smiled gently. “It was not to help him at all, so it doesn’t matter whether he believes it or not.”

“Your character, I don’t know who you are like. Some things you don’t say and let others take advantage! Besides, thick-skinned and self-congratulatory, damn it, it pisses me off!” Joshua Thompson blurted out and got angrier the more he thought about it.

If Daniel Thompson weren’t his father, he would really want to give him a good beating.

“His heart has already prejudiced. Do you think he would publicly slap himself in the face?”

Joshua Thompson fell silent.

He had already praised Gillian Thompson in the meeting. Even if he was told that someone else made the phone call, he would not believe it. If he believed it, it would be a clear slap in the face.

Joshua Thompson had to admit that she was right. For the current Daniel Thompson, dignity and face are the most important thing.

“I said he wouldn’t believe it, but what if someone else tells him?” Molly Walker raised her eyelashes, her pupils as dark as beads, smiling scornfully, “Only others can slap this face.”

Joshua Thompson raised his eyebrows: “How do you mean?”

This naïve old man deserves a slap on the face.

“There’s a Chamber of Commerce meeting tomorrow night, and he will attend.” She came to know about the meeting while making calls. The bosses invited her to attend, expressing their personal gratitude to her.

This Chamber of Commerce meeting, both Daniel Thompson and she would attend.

At this, Joshua Thompson’s eyes lit up.

Goodness, this was his sister’s plan all along!

“That’s great. The old man said we wronged Gillian Thompson and beat the confession out of her, right? Let’s let others tell him who made the calls!”

Such a clumsy lie, once exposed, may make Daniel Thompson’s anger all directed at Gillian Thompson.

But she brought it upon herself.

Ignoring the right path and choosing to follow someone else’s.

At this moment, Joshua Thompson’s fraternal affection for Gillian Thompson completely disappeared.

Molly Walker hooks her lip and a bright smile crosses her face.

The family doctor soon resuscitated Gillian Thompson.

In fact, Gillian Thompson didn’t pass out at all. She was just pretending.

Returning to her room, she hurriedly dialed Violet Summers’ number, and this time, the call finally went through.

“Violet, were you the one who called my business partner?”

She gripped the phone, eyes welling up with tears.

Violet Summers chuckled lightly: “No.”

“Bang,” like the sound of thunder, struck Gillian Thompson hard.

She opened her mouth, and a ringing filled her mind.

It wasn’t  Violet Summers!

Then Violet Summers’s next sentence struck her heart into pieces.

“You wouldn’t know that, would you? The one who made the calls was your beloved sister, Ivy Thompson.”

“Ivy Thompson ” Gillian Thompson mumbled to herself. Her body softened and she crumbled onto the bed, “How could it  How could it be her! How would she know someone from the ‘W’ organization?!”

“Dozens of calls, ‘W’ organization actually responded to her, how could she have such a big face! Violet, you must be lying to me. Who else could have this ability?”

Gillian Thompson’s face hardened, lips pale, hands slightly trembling, and her eyes were filled with uncontrollable fear.

Violet Summers’s voice was exceptionally cold: “Don’t forget, people from the ‘W’ organization are all over the world. Even a beggar on the street could be one of us.”

Compared to the talented people in the organization, how would she possibly measure up?

At these words, Gillian Thompson was completely dumbfounded.

What had she done?

She told a clumsy lie that was fully spotted by Ivy Thompson.

She had completely become a joke!

“Don’t worry, I’ve checked already. She isn’t from the organization. She probably is a mistress of a leader in the organization.”

Gillian Thompson went blank, not taking in anything.

“What’s wrong with you?” Violet Summers felt that something was wrong with Gillian today, “Did you do something stupid?”

Gillian Thompson explained everything from start to finish.

When Violet Summers heard that Daniel Thompson had praised her at the meeting and that she had admitted to it, she was silent.

“Violet, is there any hope for me?”

If Daniel Thompson found out that she had deceived him, and the entire company, he might not just send her to the old house, but back to her hometown!
