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

Chapter 403: Chapter 400: Unveiling the Fig Leaf
Although Ivy Thompson herself came from a decent background, being raised by such a person would inevitably result in a poor environment.

Logically, it would be impossible for someone like her to grow up in such an environment.

Could it be that one’s fate is predestined by the heavens?

Scarlett Jackson couldn’t understand how someone like Ivy could grow up in such a living environment.

“You don’t need to know why,” Olivia Sawyer sneered coldly. “Because no matter what you do, you can’t outdo her.”

Just before coming here, she had also asked herself if it was worth it.

Even if she did all these things, Ivy Thompson might not appreciate it.

But she quickly made a decision. What she had now was all given by Ivy Thompson. She could give a little back by doing what she could. It was in her nature.

If in the end she had nothing, she would have no regrets.

Because Ivy Thompson, this person, was worth it.

What she wanted was to establish a connection with Ivy Thompson; betting on this favor.

“Olivia Sawyer, if you help her, you are against me. I will make you regret it!” Scarlett Jackson looked at Olivia Sawyer, trembling with anger.

“Make me regret it? I’ll be waiting!” Olivia Sawyer tilted her chin, neither approving nor denying.

In a lawful society, what else could Scarlett Jackson do besides employing underhanded tactics?

She was not afraid at all.

“By the way, Scarlett Jackson, the thing you’ve been avoiding, I’ll help you uncover it today to see if Michael Gallagher cares about you or Ivy Thompson in the end.”

Hearing this, Scarlett’s face turned pale and flushed in succession.

Between her and Ivy Thompson, of course, Ivy Thompson was more important.

She was very clear that if she stood against Ivy Thompson, Mr. Jenkins would never stand by her side.

Olivia Sawyer knew her well and hit her weak spot directly.

Soon, Olivia Sawyer picked up her cell phone and glanced at it, then smiled slightly: “Michael Gallagher is downstairs. He’ll soon know what kind of scumbag you are!”

Hearing that Michael Gallagher was downstairs, Scarlett Jackson’s face turned pale.

No, she couldn’t panic!

At that time, it was Mr. Jenkins himself who had quarreled with Ivy Thompson, and the abortion had nothing to do with her.

Scarlett Jackson pretended to be calm and suppressed the panic in her heart.

Looking at Olivia Sawyer, she gritted her teeth with hatred.

If it weren’t for this woman, Mr. Jenkins would have gotten on the plane by now.

It was all her fault, using some unknown means to bring Mr. Jenkins here.

With a “creak,” the door was pushed open, and Michael Gallagher strode in.

The man’s deep and narrow eyes stared tightly at Scarlett Jackson, his eyebrows slowly furrowing, appearing extremely dangerous.

Scarlett Jackson clenched her palms and reflexively took a step back.

“Mr. Gallagher, you’ve finally arrived,” Olivia Sawyer stood up, crushed the cigarette butt, and had a lazy yet rebellious demeanor.

“This woman spent a fortune controlling the information around you. You just found out about it, didn’t you?” Olivia sneered and shook her head. “It’s a shame you’ve gone to great lengths to bail her out, and you still don’t know she’s caused harm to your child.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Scarlett Jackson suddenly stood up and pounced on Olivia Sawyer. “You bitch, don’t slander me here. I don’t know anything and I didn’t do anything!”

Upon hearing the words “harm to the child,” Michael Gallagher’s calm eyes were frighteningly deep.

He had just received the message that something had happened to Molly Walker, and if he wanted to know the exact reason, he should come to this place.

He abandoned his plane ticket and hurriedly came here.

He had thought about severing all ties with Molly Walker, but he didn’t want anything to happen to her child.

Even though he knew that the person who sent the message deliberately wanted to lure him over, he still came.

These past few days, he hadn’t had a moment of good sleep.

Not even when his brother Noah Jenkins was burned or when his father jumped off a building had he been in such pain.

He admitted that severing his feelings was rash since they couldn’t truly be severed.

He wanted to escape, but he had already been trapped by Molly Walker.

He was like a weary beast, imprisoned within the confines of his own surroundings, locked in the place where she was.

He stared at Olivia Sawyer, his eyes gradually turning red.

“You just said the baby had an accident?” He walked step by step towards Olivia Sawyer, each step as heavy as millions of dollars, “What happened to them?”

“Mr. Jenkins…” Scarlett Jackson hurried to explain, “This matter isn’t confirmed, it might not necessarily be a problem.”

“Scarlett Jackson, you really are talented at lying with your eyes wide open. If it weren’t for Michael Gallagher being preoccupied recently and shutting out the outside world, do you think your tricks could fool anyone?”

Olivia Sawyer ruthlessly exposed Scarlett Jackson’s scheme.

Whoever Scarlett Jackson could sway with money, she could sway too with her own financial means.

Thankfully, she had signed some contracts recently, and the other party were generous with their funds, giving her the financial strength to carry out such an endeavor.

Scarlett Jackson had spent a fortune to bribe the people around Michael Gallagher, but Olivia Sawyer could do the same.

Before, she had wondered how Michael Gallagher, who was no fool, could be deceived so easily by Scarlett Jackson. As it turned out, Michael Gallagher was simply in a bad mood, hardly communicating with other people, let alone catching up with the latest news.

No wonder Michael Gallagher didn’t know anything.

Olivia Sawyer looked into Michael Gallagher’s eyes and sighed, “Molly Walker had a miscarriage.”

The air was as silent as death.

Scarlett Jackson shrank back, her face turning white with panic.

In the dim light, Michael Gallagher’s hardened jawline was tense and straight, his teeth clenched and his lips bloodless.

Miscarriage…

The baby was gone?

No wonder Jeremy Norman said the adult was fine; it was because the baby had an accident.

With the baby gone, she must be heartbroken, right?

She couldn’t even bear hearing about the baby having Down syndrome, so how could she possibly bear the pain of losing a child?

If only he hadn’t argued with her that day, would the baby still be there?

“Mr. Jenkins, don’t be too heartbroken…” Seeing him standing still, looking helpless and in pain, Scarlett Jackson’s eyes instantly turned red.

She abandoned reason, reaching out to hold Michael Gallagher and sobbing, “It’s not your fault, really, it’s not. She just couldn’t hold onto the baby herself. I asked the doctor, and he said that the baby had already been injured, so they could only choose between saving the adult and the child. The Thompson family would definitely choose to save the adult, not the child!”

As soon as her words finished, two large hands grabbed her arms and violently pushed her away.

Scarlett Jackson, who was already frail, stumbled back several steps from the force and fell…

With a crash, wine bottles scattered all over the floor.

A heart-wrenching pain came from her palm.

Scarlett Jackson looked down and saw shards of the wine bottle embedded in her palm, blood gushing out.

“You knew about the miscarriage early on?” Michael Gallagher moved closer and squatted in front of her, his eyes as gloomy as death. “Did you intentionally block the news from me?”

Scarlett Jackson froze, and tears fell like broken pearls.

“Yes, I blocked the news, but I did all of this for you!”

“You’ve been deceived by her for years, hurt so badly, living every day like a walking corpse. She doesn’t care, but it hurts me to watch. I admit my guilt, but I only did these things to make you happy, not to see you sad any longer.” Scarlett Jackson sobbed, out of breath. “After suffering so much because of her, do you want to be hurt a second time?!”

“Mr. Jenkins, your life has been so difficult…”

Betrayed by his brother, his father committed suicide for him, and the wife who married him only did so to fulfill certain tasks.

Poor Zachary Jenkins, apart from the inheritance left by Uncle Jenkins, had nothing left.

His life was truly bitter.

Scarlett Jackson covered her mouth and sobbed out loud.

Michael Gallagher had sunken eyes that were lifeless, filled with layers of shimmering darkness.

It was indeed bitter.

But what about Molly Walker?

Having lost her child, she too was in pain.

In the first half of her life, her only companion was her grandmother, and later, the baby became the sole focus of her life.

Now, that dream was shattered.
