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

Chapter 398: Chapter 395: Who Dares to Take Her Away
Molly Walker smiled without saying anything and didn’t even look at him.

She already knew what kind of person Nicholas Thompson was, so it was nothing strange that he said this.

“Nicholas, what are you saying she should do?! She’s already like this, how can you stop her?” James Leaford was very dissatisfied. “Your uncle thought you were overly biased towards Gillian before, and now you’re not even trying to hide it? Let me tell you, we intentionally didn’t stop her. It’s our tacit consent for her to be beaten by your mother. If anything happens, I, as her younger brother, will shoulder the responsibility. And you? It’s disgraceful that you studied law but can’t even protect your own mother, what kind of law did you learn?!”

Being scolded so by James Leaford in front of so many people, Nicholas Thompson’s face was somewhat red.

He reluctantly resisted the shame and stood in front of Phoebe Belmont.

“Uncle, even if you kill her today, it will be useless and will provoke more troubles. I can’t just stand by and watch you commit a crime.”

He glanced at Phoebe Belmont and said to Gillian Thompson behind him, “Take her away.”

Of course, he didn’t like Phoebe Belmont either, but reason took over.

Beating Phoebe Belmont might bring temporary satisfaction, but she was pregnant, and if anything happened, it would be a matter of two lives.

“Hold on!” Amanda Leaford called out to Gillian. “Let’s see who dares to take her away today!”

Phoebe Belmont trembled with fear.

Amanda Leaford walked in front of Phoebe Belmont, and with a swing of her hand, she slapped her face hard.

There were two loud “pop” sounds, and Phoebe’s head tilted to one side, her face swelling up quickly.

Amanda Leaford wiped her hands and said to the slightly stunned Nicholas Thompson, “It’s not too much for me to give her a few slaps, right? The baby should be safe for now.”

“Amanda, Ivy’s baby is gone. Do you want my baby to be gone too? With all the children you have, if not for your own good, at least accumulates blessings for your offspring.” Phoebe Belmont covered her red and swollen face, speaking out furiously.

Earlier, when she was alone, she didn’t dare to say anything in front of everyone, but now that she had people on her side, she was no longer afraid.

She saw that no matter what she did, at least Nicholas Thompson would help her.

As long as someone was concerned about her being a pregnant woman, she would have an advantage in anything she did.

Hearing that Molly Walker had lost her baby, Nicholas Thompson’s body stiffened, and he abruptly glanced at Molly.

He thought that his sister had only suffered a minor injury, and he didn’t expect that the baby would be gone this time.

“The baby…” He hesitated and looked at her stomach. “Why did this happen this time when it didn’t in the past?”

He remembered that his sister had gone through numerous hardships before without losing the baby, so why did it happen this time?

“What are you talking about?!” Amanda’s tone was serious. “Your nephew was only a few months old, and he had been through so many accidents. Your sister has already done her best.”

“Your brother went to help with the company’s affairs, and your younger brother went to seek justice for your sister. What have you been doing as the second brother? As soon as you come in, you start blaming her. Do you even deserve to be a Thompson and Ivy’s brother?!”

Nicholas Thompson was red-faced and embarrassed by her words.

“Mom, don’t blame Nicholas, he…”

With a “snap,” Amanda slapped Gillian’s face, interrupting her next words.

“Our family matters are none of your business, outsider!”

Gillian covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes.

Amanda had used great force, and a single slap had numbed Gillian’s face.

She closed her lips tightly and didn’t speak.

Although she didn’t have a long time to get to know Amanda, she knew her character. Today, Amanda was really angry.

An angry Amanda like this, not to mention their brother, even she wouldn’t dare to provoke.

Nicholas Thompson had never seen Amanda like this before, and he stood awkwardly, not saying another word.

Slapping someone’s face certainly wasn’t a crime, but at most a civil dispute.

If Amanda wanted to slap Phoebe, then let her do it.

He looked at Ivy sitting on the bed, her face so haggard her eye sockets were sunken, and his nose felt sour.

Although his relationship with Ivy wasn’t good and he didn’t expect her to recognize him as her brother, he had some expectations for the unborn child, at least it was his nephew by blood.

He even thought that it didn’t matter if Ivy didn’t recognize him, maybe his nephew would recognize him later.

Unexpectedly, the baby was gone.

Ivy must have loved this baby so much, and now that it’s gone, she must be heartbroken.

Even if she wants to protect Phoebe and Gillian now, she can’t.

In the past, they helped Gabriel out of pity, but now, it seems that her own sister hasn’t fared much better.

“How exactly did the baby die?”

Nicholas asked with a hoarse voice.

Amanda turned her face away, wiping her tears without speaking, while James, with a grim face, walked to the window and lit a cigarette.

Nobody answered him.

Just then, Phoebe suddenly said, “It was Michael Gallagher. Miss Jackson just came to ask about her condition. Michael wanted to break up with your sister, and when she didn’t want to, she chased after him, fell, and lost the baby.”

Gillian frowned, trying to stop Phoebe from speaking but failing to do so.

She kept giving hints, but Phoebe raised her chin arrogantly and sneered, “Nicholas, you study law. Miss Jackson said that she was taken to the police station without even touching your sister. If it weren’t for Michael bailing her out, she would have been wronged to death. You saw just now that your mom, at her age, still wanted to kill me. If you don’t advise your sister and mom, maybe next time it will be them who end up in jail!”

“Yes, we want to go to jail, and before we do, we’ll kill you first!”

Amanda was trembling with anger. If it weren’t for Nicholas standing in front of her, she would have killed this person today.

But hearing that Michael had bailed Scarlett out, even though she already knew about it, Amanda still worriedly looked at her daughter.

She knew Ivy liked Michael and would be very sad to learn that he personally picked up Scarlett.

When Molly heard that Michael had bailed Scarlett out, she was indeed shocked.

She knew that the loss of the baby wasn’t entirely Scarlett’s fault, nor was it entirely Michael’s.

However, Scarlett definitely had an inescapable responsibility in this matter.

If it weren’t for Scarlett’s provocative words, she wouldn’t have been so angry.

But she never expected that Michael would personally bail Scarlett out.

Thinking of the phone call Scarlett received, Molly’s heart ached.

His relationship with Scarlett had always been like a mist.

She knew that there was deliberate fueling and vinegar between her and Michael because of Scarlett. Didn’t Michael know that?

He could see through Isabelle and the disguised Noah Jenkins, so why couldn’t he see through the scheming Scarlett?

Perhaps, it wasn’t that he couldn’t see through her, but that he willingly allowed himself to be manipulated.

Molly pursed her lips, and the heavy boulder in her heart weighed heavier and heavier, causing her pain and making it difficult to breathe.

Amanda’s eyes grew redder and redder, and she gripped Molly’s hand with sympathy, whispering, “Ivy… Your third brother went to ask him. Maybe there’s some misunderstanding about this… ”

Amanda couldn’t believe that Michael, who had time to spare, didn’t come to see Ivy but instead went to bail out Scarlett first.

Did he give up on Ivy as soon as he knew the baby was gone?

Was his previous kindness to Ivy just because of the baby in her belly?

Having lived so many years, she understood men’s rationality and ruthlessness.

For the sake of a child, some men could pretend to get along with someone they didn’t like.

If he was just doing it for the child, then this man couldn’t be trusted for a lifetime.

She didn’t know Michael’s character, but she only hoped that Ivy wouldn’t be too sad about this.

Ivy’s body was already very uncomfortable. If she added heart disease, the blow to her would be too great.

“Michael, it was him…” Nicholas clenched his fists, his teeth grinding, “I knew this man was no good from the start. Now that your baby is gone, are you still going to protect him wholeheartedly?”

He directly poured cold water on Molly.

He knew he had no right to say these words, but people had to look forward. He couldn’t help but say what was in his heart.

“I know you don’t think of me as a brother, but I still have to say it. You’ve already divorced Michael Gallagher, and now that the baby is gone too, you can finally start a new life. It might not be a bad thing not to be stuck in the past.”
