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

Chapter 575: Chapter 570: Could it be Gabriel_1
 

Emma Smith didn’t speak, just sorting through this “dirt” with a blank expression that betrayed no emotions.

…

At Nanyang First Hospital, in the intensive care unit.

Daniel Thompson was lying in a hospital bed, enjoying the comfortable life brought by caregivers.

One caregiver was giving him a massage, another was cleaning the room, while another was feeding him.

All three caregivers looked after him like servants.

Daniel Thompson had a beaming smile and looked completely at ease.

“If I had known that getting along with Ivy would bring me such good days, I wouldn’t have fought with her in the first place.”

Daniel Thompson reflected while lying on his back.

He had been at odds with his daughter for so long, people said he had a screw loose, and now it seemed they were right all along.

How could he not believe in his own daughter and instead trust the words of a fortune teller, to go and favor an adopted daughter?

Thinking back on everything, Daniel Thompson was filled with regret.

Luckily, it was not too late.

Ivy had forgiven him and even hired the caregivers for him.

Daniel Thompson looked over the three professional caregivers with satisfaction.

These caregivers were all brought in by Molly Walker; their professionalism was impeccable, and they took great care of him.

Now he had become wise; things like wills, last words, property division, he wanted none of it—all written in Molly Walker’s name.

He was about to lose his life now, what use did he have for those things?

Having fallen seriously ill, he had learned his lesson.

He now had nothing…

Face, he could do without that as well…

In short, it was right to be docile in the face of powerful children.

These past few days, he felt as if he were living a fairy-tale life.

All the old men in the other rooms were envious of him, giving him plenty of respect.

“Mr. Thompson, today is your birthday. Miss Walker said that all the family will come together to celebrate your birthday tonight,” said a caregiver, looking at the calendar and speaking warmly to Daniel Thompson.

Hearing that everyone would come to celebrate his birthday, Daniel Thompson immediately sat up straight.

Birthday, birthday… yes, yes, yes, his birthday was coming up!

How would these children celebrate for him?

Especially since this birthday was organized by Molly Walker.

“When are they coming?” Daniel Thompson suddenly became somewhat expectant.

“Miss Walker said they would come tonight, but the gift will be delivered to you ahead of time.”

“Good, good, good.” Daniel Thompson laughed heartily, “Today’s young people really know how to surprise.”

Just then, a piece of news suddenly appeared on the television.

Seeing the message, Daniel Thompson’s eyelids twitched.

This was the latest news.

The host held the microphone, her expression grave: “Our television station has received a report letter about Daniel Thompson, the legal representative of the Thompson Group, accusing him of embezzling public funds, and unlawfully profiteering for his own enterprise…”

Listening to these words, Daniel Thompson’s sight went dark.

Today was his birthday…

Could this be the gift Molly Walker mentioned she would give him?

Daniel Thompson felt a pain in his chest.

This gift truly cut to the heart.

Daniel Thompson, unable to make any expression, clutched his chest, feeling terrible all over, as though his skin was being pricked by needles.

“Mr. Thompson!” The caregivers rushed to him, “Turn off the television quickly.”

“No… there’s no need,” Daniel Thompson’s lips quivered, his clouded eyes reddening, “It’s my birthday today, and I can accept any gift.”

“Since it’s a gift prepared by my daughter, I’ll keep it.”

Watching Daniel Thompson try to hold back his fury, the caregivers exchanged looks, none daring to respond.

Molly Walker had mentioned preparing a surprise for Daniel Thompson, but she hadn’t implied it was this kind of surprise…

That exposé just now was clearly intended to land Daniel Thompson in trouble…

The caregivers didn’t dare to ask, let alone gossip.

But they didn’t dare to delay or wait either and quickly called the doctor over.

…

At the same time, Molly Walker also received the news.

“The news was leaked by the Richardson family, and they provided the evidence,” Michael Gallagher said, watching the news intently.

Samuel Richardson had made his move, employing such a despicable tactic, striking directly with the Thompson Group’s dirt.

“It’s just like Samuel Richardson’s character and methods.”

Such news could be catastrophic for the Thompson Group.

“The Thompson family’s stocks are probably going to fall,” Michael Gallagher said, glancing at the stock market index.

Molly Walker glanced at the screen, her palms tightening slightly.

“If what’s reported in the news is true, and those things were really done by Daniel Thompson…”

Embezzlement, accepting bribes, shoddy construction projects… any one of these could be a devastating disaster.

If a senior executive of a company did such things, the entire company’s earnings would need to be re-examined.

“Based on my experience, Daniel Thompson has had a smooth sailing these years, and it doesn’t seem like he would do such things,” Michael Gallagher said, comforting her by holding her hand tightly.

“Let’s go to the hospital first.”

Daniel Thompson was still in the hospital, and she had discussed with her brother and third brother and mom that they would celebrate Daniel Thompson’s birthday together this time.

Ever since she found out her origins were related to her master and coupled with the change in Daniel Thompson’s attitude, her resentment towards Daniel Thompson had faded a lot.

Before, she felt that Daniel Thompson hadn’t tried hard to find her, but now she knew that even with all of the Thompson family’s connections, they still couldn’t find her.

With the Jenkins family and Mrs. Ran around, even if the Thompson family wanted to investigate, they wouldn’t be able to find anything.

Nanyang First Hospital.

In the critical care room where Daniel Thompson lay, the air pressure was heavy, with Joshua Thompson and Damian Thompson sitting in front of Daniel Thompson, their expressions grave.

“Turn yourself in,” Joshua Thompson said, arms folded across his chest and eyebrows raised, exuding a wild nature, “If you turn yourself in, you might save the company, otherwise you’ll drag our brother and make him suffer with you.”

“Joshua…” Damian Thompson frowns and holds him back.

“Turn myself in?” Daniel Thompson said, his face turning a furious shade of blue, “I didn’t do those things, why should I turn myself in? You’re my son, how can you believe these rumors instead of me? If I, Daniel Thompson, had done these things, may lightning strike me down, I deserve no good end!”

“Are you really not responsible?” Joshua Thompson looked at him doubtfully, “Then why would someone target you specifically to dig up dirt?”

“How should I know!” Daniel Thompson slammed the edge of the bed fiercely, “Isn’t it all your sister’s doing? She said she had a surprise for me, but I didn’t expect it to be this surprise.”

“It wasn’t Fourth Sister,” Damian Thompson quickly denied, “We all know her character; if she were to deal with you, she wouldn’t hurt others.”

“Hmph… who knows…” Daniel Thompson muttered, yet his heart wavered along.

Exposing the Thompson family’s “dirt” did not benefit the Thompson family; it would only drag down the entire company and its employees.

Molly Walker had the capability, but indeed there was no need for her to take such extreme measures.

It didn’t match her personality.

It was more like…

“Could it be…” Daniel Thompson squinted his eyes and voiced his inner guess, “Was it Gabriel who did this?”

Daniel Thompson’s words shocked everyone in the room to their core.

The room fell eerily silent.

Joshua Thompson gave Daniel Thompson a cold glance.

Damian Thompson lifted his eyes under his glasses, and the light reflected off the lenses sparkled brilliantly.

They hadn’t expected Daniel Thompson to suspect Gillian Thompson.
