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

Chapter 267: Turning Pretense Into Reality

Translator: 549690339

Anything about loving her and letting her go, or treating her like family, was nothing but self-deception.

He didn’t know when his heart had become biased.

In the beginning, he treated her as a partner and not a wife, but after living together for three years, he had become completely infatuated.

“It’s all my fault.” His tone was full of self-blame, “I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you.”

He knew the wounds wouldn’t heal so easily, but he could only try to treat her better in the future, using the rest of his life to make up for his mistakes.

Molly shook her head, her eyes red like a rabbit’s: “I’m sorry, I couldn’t control my emotions.”

As she thought about it, her tone became more indifferent: “You helped me find a good lawyer, and it helped in the end. This can at least console my deceased grandmother.”

Upon further reflection, it wasn’t just Michael’s fault, she was at fault for her grandmother’s death.

If she hadn’t married Michael, none of this would have happened, and if she had told her grandmother the truth about her marriage with Michael earlier, her grandmother wouldn’t have been so shocked.

Hearing her words, Michael’s eyes darkened. Her grandmother was her last relative, and he shouldn’t have acted so rashly that night, directing all his anger at her.

He had chosen to hurt her when she needed him the most.

His grandfather was right; it was his fault, and he didn’t deserve her. It was only natural for Molly not to want to go back to him, but he wouldn’t give up.

“It’s my fault, and I will make up for it.” He wanted to say more, but Molly interrupted him.

“Let’s not dwell on the past. We can talk about it after dinner, and go see Noah later.”

She subtly changed the subject.

Throughout the meal, she was treated like an honored guest. Michael picked up food for her and peeled the shrimp, making her feel uneasy.

Thankfully she was full quickly, and she left the restaurant almost as if she was escaping.

At the prison, Molly sat gracefully in front of Noah.

Seeing Molly, Noah’s dark face grew even colder: “What a rare visitor.”

He ended up in prison for an organ trafficking crime, with little hope for a good outcome.

“How’s Isabelle?” Noah asked, his face full of anxiety.

Molly stared at him in silence.

Noah had been behind Isabelle all these years, but without Isabelle’s incident, he wouldn’t have been so hastily exposed.

He had truly cared for Isabelle.

“She’s just like you, but she’s sentenced to death.”

Hearing the words “death sentence,” Noah’s face twisted in pain: “No, she won’t be executed—she’s pregnant! She’s carrying my child!”

He remembered Isabelle saying that she had missed her periods for a while and might be pregnant.

As long as Isabelle was pregnant, Orientopia’s law wouldn’t give her the death sentence.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but she’s not pregnant,” Molly said indifferently. “Even though she slept with different men every night, she still didn’t get pregnant. It’s fate.”

Noah was taken aback: “Different men ?”

“What, you didn’t know?” Molly laughed. “She was afraid that you had problems in that department, so to increase her chances of getting pregnant, she slept with different men every night ”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Noah interrupted her. “Isabelle is my wife! She only loves me! She carried Bailey for ten months of pregnancy! There’s no way she could do such a thing!”

Sleeping with other men every night, Noah couldn’t accept it!

Noah broke down, overwhelmed with emotion.

“Yes, you even know Bailey is your child.” Molly sneered, showing no sympathy for his madness. “I came here today to tell you that Bailey has nothing to do with you anymore. He said he doesn’t recognize you as his father.”

Noah stared at her blankly.

Molly stood up, thinking that Isabelle had been able to do so many bad things smoothly due to Noah’s help.

Both of them had maliciousness ingrained in their bones.

Fortunately, Bailey was still young, and with proper guidance, it wasn’t too late for him to turn back.

“Ivy Thompson!”

As she was about to leave, Xavier Gallagher suddenly called out to her.

“Michael Gallagher is not a good man.” Xavier Gallagher stared at her intently, “That fire was deliberately set by someone to hurt me. Whether you believe it or not, I’m telling you this because you spoke up for Bailey. He is my brother, and I was willing to risk my life to save him. How could I harm him? I’ve seen through his true nature.”

“He, Michael Gallagher, is even more vicious than me.” Xavier Gallagher said through gritted teeth, “If you’re smart, you’ll stay away from him. Otherwise, you’ll die without knowing how.”

Molly Walker pursed her lips, feeling a heavy burden on her heart.

“Thank you for the reminder. I know what kind of person he is.”

In her opinion, Michael Gallagher, no matter how cruel, was not as cruel as Xavier Gallagher.

She glanced sideways and saw Michael Gallagher standing next to her, his figure tall and lonely, cold and indifferent.

Michael Gallagher also heard what Xavier Gallagher said.

Being judged like this by his own brother must be hard for him to bear.

Walking out of the prison side by side with Michael Gallagher, Molly Walker thought for a moment and asked, “You two were supposed to have a good relationship. How did it become like this? He always says that someone was trying to hurt him with the fire. Maybe there is really some hidden story ”

There must be a reason for someone who could risk their lives to save him to be so hateful now.

Michael Gallagher looked at her calmly and asked, “Do you think I am the kind of person he described?”

Molly Walker’s breath caught, and she suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Could it be that she was really shaken at one point?

Seeing her reaction, Michael Gallagher nodded knowingly: “I will investigate carefully.”

He couldn’t let Molly Walker have such doubt in her heart.

The Norman family’s villa was brightly lit.

Jeremy Norman’s parents, grandmother, and other relatives were all sitting in the living room, staring at the elegant and gentle man in front of them.

“Breaking off the engagement? Why should Ivy Thompson be able to break it off just because she wants to! Does she even regard our Norman family at all?”

Jeremy Norman’s father, Sebastian Norman, slammed the table and stood up.

He had just informed his friends, and when he came home, he was told by his son that they were not getting married, and the other party wanted to break off the engagement!

“I’m sorry, Dad. It’s my fault. I didn’t explain clearly to you all. In fact, Ivy and I getting married was just a play.”

“A play?” Sebastian Norman scowled, “What do you mean, your love affair is fake?”

Jeremy Norman forced a bitter smile and nodded.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became oppressive.

“Damn it! How can you play such a trick with this kind of thing!” Sebastian Norman gritted his teeth in anger, “I’ve told all of my friends, and now you’re telling me this was all just a play?!”

Jeremy Norman frowned, “How could you have notified them so quickly? I told you not to inform them in advance, didn’t I?”

Jeremy’s mother’s face was also full of anger, “You’re not unaware of your father’s temper, he can’t keep a secret. As soon as your marriage date was set, he told his friends and classmates. Jeremy, you’re really foolish! She’s a widow who doesn’t care about her reputation. How could you follow her in this nonsense! Even if your marriage was fake, the scandal would disgrace both families. The Thompson family has no shame, but we still do.”

Although he was scolded by his own parents, Jeremy Norman remained calm.

As far as he knew, Ivy hadn’t told her own family about their fake marriage either, which meant she did have thoughts of being with him.

If it weren’t for the unexpected event today, she might really have married him.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

“I’ll explain to Dad’s friends,” Jeremy Norman said, pain hidden in his eyes.

“No explanation needed!” Sebastian Norman sneered coldly, his voice full of chill, “The wedding will proceed as planned. I won’t acknowledge this play. The invitations have been sent out, and you and Ivy Thompson must get married.”

“Since it’s a play, let’s make it real!”

He wanted the Thompson family and the Leaford family to know that their Norman family couldn’t be fooled by just anyone!
