Marry Jeremy Norman?
Everyone around fell silent.
Jeremy’s mother raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of determination: “Ivy Thompson, you should know why my son helped you. If it hadn’t been for you, he wouldn’t have risked his life to save your uncle.”
“I don’t have too many demands, I just hope that you and my son can rekindle your previous relationship. It was I who ruined your affair last time, and I feel regretful. Now I just hope that this opportunity can help mend the rift between you two. Michael Gallagher is dead, and the baby in your belly has not yet been born. As long as the baby is born and you nurture your love, he is also a descendant of our Norman family.”
After learning that Molly Walker had single-handedly helped the Leaford family, she regretted it.
She used to think that Ivy’s identity, at most, was only as a daughter of the Thompson family, but she didn’t expect Ivy’s background to be so great, even being the leader of some organization.
She made this request, partly to make up for the lack of mother-son affection between herself and Jeremy, and partly because she was attracted to Ivy’s identity behind the scenes.
“Mom!” Jeremy’s cold voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts. He walked up to the group of people with an icy tone, “Please don’t make decisions for me, especially regarding Ivy and me.”
Using this method to force Ivy to marry him was despicable.
Moreover, it wasn’t even him who saved the others’ lives in the end.
Not being able to find the car owner had been bothering him. For some reason, he always felt that the other party was deliberately hiding from him, which made him even more anxious.
Every time James Leaford looked at him with gratitude, it felt like a claw scratching at his heart, almost turning into his nightmare.
“You almost died to save James, do we have no right to make requests?” Jeremy’s mother was unconvinced, “What’s wrong with her marrying you? A widow, can she find someone better than you for her second marriage?”
Upon hearing this, Joshua Thompson was the first to put on a cold face: “Why can’t she? Not just any man can marry my sister!”
Although he agreed with Jeremy being together with his sister, it did not include forcing the marriage. If Ivy didn’t agree, he would respect her opinion. But this woman actually forced Ivy into marriage.
He looked at Jeremy with regret. It was a pity that Jeremy was a good person, but his parents didn’t pass the test. If Ivy had such in-laws in the future, her life would not be easy.
Just as Jeremy’s mother was about to retort, she saw the look of cold despair on Jeremy’s face and guiltily tightened her shawl.
She could feel that her son was very dissatisfied.
Why? Perhaps her son wasn’t good enough? What qualifications did a widow have to pick and choose here?
“Ivy Thompson, Michael Gallagher is dead. You’re not planning to stay widowed for him all your life, are you?” She changed her tone, “I admit that I shouldn’t have doubted you before, but when Michael Gallagher was alive, our Jeremy was not inferior to him. Now that he’s dead, you should plan your future well.”
“Who says Michael Gallagher is dead?”
The cold, mocking voice was like a stone falling into the water, rippling outwards and creating a momentary daze.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound. At the staircase, a man leaned lazily against the handrail, wearing a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of sharp, deep eyes.
“Who are you?” Sebastian Norman’s face was filled with caution. Seeing him wearing a mask, he subconsciously thought of the reporter.
This time, although he had invited many people, he had not invited any reporters. How did this person who dared not show his face get in?
“What do you mean by what you just said?” Jeremy’s mother was very dissatisfied with his interruption, “Michael Gallagher’s death is a fact, can he come back to life?”
Just as her words fell, the masked man let out a soft laugh.
This laugh carried a hint of mockery, both heart-wrenching and charming.
Seeing Michael like this, Joshua Thompson couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “He can really put on an act.”
Molly Walker, on the other hand, wasn’t too surprised. She had thought that Michael would find an opportunity to let others know that he was still alive, but she hadn’t expected it to be at Jeremy’s birthday party.
This man, most likely, was doing this on purpose.
At this point, Jeremy was sure that Michael had come to stir things up.
“Michael Gallagher, today is my birthday, don’t go too far.” His soft tone suddenly cooled down.
Upon hearing this, Sebastian Norman and Jeremy’s mother gasped.
Michael Gallagher this masked man turned out to be Michael Gallagher?
Isn’t Michael Gallagher supposed to be dead?!
Everyone from the Leaford family, except Zoey Lambert, had faces full of horror.
Michael Gallagher took off his mask, revealing a handsome face. His eyebrows were dark and well-defined, his eyes deep, his nose prominent, and his lips pale.
Seeing this face, the atmosphere instantly froze like ice.
“Ga Gallagher Michael Gallagher! It’s really you You’re actually still alive!” Sebastian Norman took a frightened step back.
As entrepreneurs, they had met at the Chamber of Commerce, and Sebastian had lamented the early death of such a talented and young individual.
Now, here was Michael Gallagher, standing in front of him, seemingly resurrected. Despite his strong mental fortitude, he couldn’t remain calm.
Sebastian Norman’s voice was loud, drawing the attention of those nearby.
Wasn’t Michael Gallagher dead?
Suddenly, someone screamed.
“Michael Gallagher, my God, he’s still alive!”
The screams rang in succession, like a stone creating ripples in the water.
What did they see?
Michael Gallagher was alive!
Quickly, they thought of Xavier Gallagher’s incident.
“This family really loves to play dead.”
Back then, Xavier Gallagher’s resurrection had already caused a massive stir, and now Michael Gallagher had also come back to life.
However, quickly everyone calmed down. The large living room became silent, as everyone turned their attention to the second floor, watching the eerie and surprising scene unfold.
“Young Master ” The butler of the Jenkins family hurried upstairs, standing in front of Michael Gallagher, “He’s not Michael Gallagher, he’s our Jenkins family’s young master, Zachary Jenkins.”
Mr. Jenkins had said that if one day the young master’s identity was exposed, he should immediately reveal Zachary Jenkins’ identity as well, so he could no longer be part of the Gallagher family.
Zachary Jenkins? The never-before-seen illegitimate son of the Jenkins family?
Some clever people quickly understood the connection. Michael Gallagher was the illegitimate son of the Jenkins family, probably the offspring of Kennedy Jenkins and Lana Lewis.
Some began to daydream, even dispelling the fear that had just risen in their hearts.
Anything could happen in a wealthy family. Resurrection might just be a matter of money and bribing a few people.
Jeremy’s mother couldn’t take her eyes off the resurrected Michael Gallagher for a long time.
She had just called Ivy Thompson a widow, but now Michael Gallagher was really alive!
So, didn’t that make Jeremy the No. 3 in the relationship?
No wonder Jeremy had always blamed her. If it weren’t for her, Ivy would never have ended their engagement.
But what had happened, had happened. Facing so many onlookers, she could not lose face again.
“So what if you’re alive? You’re already her ex-husband, and now her relationship with Jeremy is unclear.” She turned to James Leaford, “Mr. Leaford, what do you think should be done about this?”
She didn’t ask Ivy but only asked James.
Her son had saved James’ life. She wanted his opinion and expected him to make a statement!
After his life had been saved, could he really watch his own son suffer?
As his mother rambled on, Jeremy frowned, an uneasy feeling rising in his heart.
Somehow, he had a faint feeling that something bad was about to happen.
