Joshua Thompson pursed his lips, somewhat displeased.

Amanda Leaford glanced at him and said indifferently, “Well deserved.”

“Who can he love if he doesn’t even love his own sister?” Amanda Leaford glared at Daniel Thompson and continued, “l warn you, Ivy has to be involved in the project. After all, Gabriel is only our adopted child, and even if she inherits the Thompson family property, she won’t be the same as Ivy.”

If Gillian Thompson was more well-behaved and didn’t do anything outrageous, Amanda could treat her as her own child and even give her equal shares as Ivy.

But what did Gillian Thompson do?

She almost killed Joshua, let alone gave her shares, Amanda just couldn’t wait to get her out of the Thompson family.

Hearing Amanda’s words, Daniel Thompson’s face was full of difficulty, and he stammered, “Amanda, this matter is not up to me. It’s the shareholders who united together… They said Ivy’s reputation is not good, and this project is a cooperation with the government, so those people care about it… I can’t help it.”

“Reputation? What reputation? Ivys pregnancy is her own business. What business is it of these old men? Don’t think I don’t know they have a bunch of illegitimate children themselves. Now they are old and want to meddle in the affairs of their descendants! Believe it or not, I’ll expose all their No. 3 and No.

4!” Amanda Leaford was furious.

“Cough, cough.” Daniel Thompson coughed a few times and whispered, “Don’t say too much. Outsiders are still here.”

Amanda Leaford snorted coldly, pointed to Gillian Thompson and said, “Speaking of reputation, her reputation is not much better. Do you know what she did?”

“What did she do?” Daniel Thompson asked, baffled.

Amanda Leaford was about to reveal Gillian’s plot against Joshua: “She allied…

“Mom!” Gillian Thompson cried out and interrupted her, her voice hoarse and emotional, “Please, I don’t want anything anymore, just give everything to my sister, please don’t say anything… ‘

Gillian cried almost lifeless, leaning on her wheelchair, tears rolling down like broken beads, her suppressed sobbing, like an accusation against everyone.

Seeing her like this, Amanda Leaford’s eyes reddened, and she turned away in discomfort.

After all, this was the daughter she had raised for over twenty years and once treated as her own. If she hadn’t known the truth, they would still be a close mother and daughter.

But an adopted child is an adopted child, no matter how well you raise them, they can never become your own flesh and blood. And she has given her too many chances already.

Molly Walker stood by and did not speak.

Joshua Thompson was right, Gillian Thompson had been living in the Thompson family for decades, and Molly couldn’t compare to her.

In the end, this was all Thompson family business. Whether to forgive Gillian Thompson or not was a matter for the Thompson family.

And she was no longer part of the Thompson family.

Seeing Amanda Leaford waking up and immediately aiming her knife at Gillian Thompson, anyone with discerning eyes could see the problem.

“Amanda, what’s going on between you two?” Daniel Thompson couldn’t help but be somewhat incredulous. He knew his wife’s character, seldom losing her temper, especially with Gillian Thompson.

Gillian had been obedient and well-behaved under their care all these years, excelling academically and making him proud. He couldn’t bear to see his adopted daughter become adversaries with his wife.

“Forget it, some things are too complicated to explain. Let’s talk about it elsewhere.” Amanda Leaford cast a meaningful glance at Gillian Thompson, “Bring me my cell phone. I’ve recorded it. If you have any doubts, let’s listen to the recording first.”

Some words she didn’t want to say directly, to avoid others laughing at them.

Gillian Thompson’s face had already turned ashen, but it was Joshua Thompson who, upon hearing about the recording, showed a strange and awkward expression on his swollen face, making him look even more ridiculous.

“Yo, Mom, there’s no recording. The recording was deleted by Joshua Thompson.” Joshua said with a mischievous whistle, the corners of his mouth hooked in a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “Fourth Sister heard it, wanted to play it for us, but someone didn’t believe it, thought she was deliberately causing trouble, and said it violated your privacy, so he deleted it without permission. ”

Amanda Leaford’s eyes widened slightly, looking at Joshua Thompson in disbelief, “Nicholas, is it true what your brother said? You really deleted the recording?”

Joshua Thompson’s heart was also full of mixed feelings.

In his selfishness, he favored Gillian Thompson and felt that she would not do anything outrageous. He deleted the recording to protect her self-esteem, fearing that she would do something stupid if it was released.

Moreover, since it was his mother’s recording, it should not have been released by Molly Walker either. He could only delete the recording in haste.

But now, seeing Mom’s reaction, it seemed like there was some big news in this recording.

Joshua Thompson bitterly smiled and nodded: “Yes, I deleted it.”

Amanda Leaford’s face fell, and she was genuinely angry: “Good, very good, it’s fine that it was deleted. It’s about time you all knew some truths.”

Amanda Leaford glanced coldly at the pale-faced Gillian Thompson, the hidden sorrow in her heart dissipated by her anger.

Seeing that Amanda Leaford was shaking with anger, Molly Walker spoke, her clear voice like spring water hitting a rock: “l have a backup of the recording.” The atmosphere was dead silent.

“Good job, why didn’t you say so earlier!” Joshua Thompson laughed, even sounding a bit nervous and excited.

Molly Walker smiled without saying anything, she also did not expect No. 4 to actually have made a backup.

“l was afraid that Mr. Thompson would delete it again.” Molly Walker took out her cell phone and grinned, “Since everyone is here, let’s listen carefully to Gillian Thompson’s masterpiece these days.”

Upon hearing this, Gillian Thompson’s head felt dizzy, her eyes suddenly went black, and she passed out immediately.

“Gillian!” Joshua Thompson’s expression changed as he hurriedly supported Gillian Thompson, who was falling to the side, and trembled, “Gillian is like this, why don’t we…”

“She was just being stimulated!” Amelia Collins quickly decided, “l know how to wake her up.”

Seeing her, Daniel Thompson’s face turned black, and he said harshly, “Who is this woman?”

Amelia Collins didn’t change her expression and pretended not to hear Daniel Thompson’s words.

This melon was too big; she had to eat it and just had to eat it all!

She had to make Gillian Thompson wake up; otherwise, she wouldn’t get to taste the juicy drama!

A gossip fire burned in Amelia Collins’ heart.

She supported Gillian Thompson’s body and used her long nails to grab Gillian Thompson’s ‘Ren Zhong acupuncture point, pressing it hard.

Gillian Thompson woke up slowly.

“Look! She’s awake!” Amelia Collins’ face was full of surprise, proudly raising her chin.

Haha, she was so awesome, like a living miracle doctor!

The people in the room had various expressions, but only Amelia Collins was smiling.

Joshua Thompson’s face was icy and full of anger as he looked at the suddenly appearing stranger, “Who let her in?”

Seeing Amelia Collins’s series of actions, Molly Walker was also a little confused.

But it couldn’t help but be said that Amelia Collins’s rough actions were effective.

“This is my friend.” Damian Thompson grinned as he spoke, attracting the attention of everyone present.

At this moment, Molly Walker had already clicked on the recording. The clear and intense argument rang out once again, this time, the volume was louder, enough for the entire building to hear.

As the argument involved Joshua Thompson, Gillian Thompson’s face turned pale, and her lips turned slightly purple.

It’s over! Now, the entire Thompson family knew that she had harmed Joshua Thompson.

She didn’t dare to look at the faces of the other Thompson family members, keeping her face down, her chin almost touching her chest.

At this moment, she was both embarrassed and in pain, wishing she could just die on the spot..
