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

Chapter 586: Chapter 581 Can’t Afford to Gamble_1
 

“No… Nicholas, Nicholas…” Amanda Leaford looked at her feeble son, her body trembling, ceaselessly pleading, “You must save him, there’s still time, please, please save him…”

Feeling Nicholas Thompson’s hand gradually losing warmth, Molly Walker’s heart filled with a wave of desolation.

She had imagined a million different ways to say goodbye to Nicholas Thompson.

She could refuse to acknowledge him as her brother, treat him as a stranger, or even ensure they had no connection for the rest of their lives.

No matter which type of goodbye it was, it shouldn’t have been like this…

Nicholas Thompson seemed to sense something, using all his strength to smile and stretch out his trembling hand, pointing to his pocket, “Gift… gift…”

The corner of a box peeked out from the pocket of his clothing.

It was the gift she had refused to accept no matter what.

At the sight of this glaring box, Molly Walker’s nose twitched with sourness, her heart wrenched cruelly.

Molly remembered, she had given gifts to everyone, including preparing a gift for Daniel Thompson, but for this heartless second brother, she hadn’t prepared anything.

Touching her conscience, she had not considered him as her second brother, so of course, she wouldn’t have prepared a gift for him.

She had thought that what Nicholas Thompson had done, she would never forgive in her lifetime.

But would she truly not forgive?

Why, seeing Nicholas Thompson like this, did her heart feel so tormented, as if cut by a blade?

This pain, she had only felt it when her grandmother passed away.

It was the agony of losing a relative, a deep bone-scraping hurt.

Nicholas Thompson’s lips turned white, he struggled to speak, “Sorry… I’m sorry.”

Sorry, I was wrong.

Sorry, for doing so many things to hurt you.

Sorry…

He had too many people to apologize to.

He had done too many wrongs, perhaps only death could release him.

He looked at Molly Walker, his lips quivering.

Originally, he wanted to ask her if she could call him second brother.

But this sentence, he couldn’t bring himself to ask… he would never be able to ask it in this lifetime.

Watching Nicholas Thompson slowly close his eyes, Gillian Thompson stood there dumbfounded.

After a while, she felt a warm flow at the root of her thigh, and her abdomen started hurting more and more…

“Baby…” Gillian Thompson covered her stomach, her pupils dilating, “Second brother…”

Not until Amanda Leaford’s wails rang out did Gillian Thompson remember, it was she who had killed Nicholas Thompson.

She had killed her second brother…

Killed the person who had loved her most in this world.

From then on, there was no one to protect her.

There was no one to cherish her as a dear sister anymore.

The person who doted on her the most in this world, she had killed.

How ludicrous…

Was this the punishment heaven had in store for her?

“Heh…”

Gillian Thompson cried and laughed, tears blurring her vision, and she seemed to see Ethan Hopkins standing not far away.

And by his side, stood another girl, petite and charming, nestled in his embrace, smiling shyly and proudly.

Gillian suddenly remembered the words Ethan Hopkins had whispered in her ear when he handed her the gun.

“Gabriel, you’re a pregnant woman, even if you kill someone, the law can’t do much to you.”

“Our baby is your amulet.”

But her baby…

Gillian Thompson subconsciously touched it, and touched a hand full of blood.

Baby… amulet…

No wonder Ethan Hopkins carried a gun and a knife with him at all times.

No wonder he risked rushing into the Thompson family’s estate, it turns out, it was just to deliver a knife to her.

Ethan Hopkins, not only wanted to see her in prison but also wanted her and her baby’s life.

“Ah ah ah ah….”

Gillian Thompson howled like a madwoman.

She stared intently at Ethan Hopkins, wanting to say that he was the real murderer, but could only utter “yi yi ya ya,” making even a dry howl seem out of reach.

She could no longer speak…

…

Ethan Hopkins, looking at Gillian Thompson glaring at him, subconsciously averted his gaze.

He wouldn’t sympathize with Gillian Thompson.

All of this, she brought upon herself.

“Let’s go, Liliana.” Ethan Hopkins took her hand, but Liliana Leaford avoided it.

“Liliana…” Ethan Hopkins didn’t understand, “What’s wrong? Gillian Thompson can no longer separate us.”

Liliana Leaford’s gaze contracted slightly, “Ethan, the baby in her belly is yours.”

Ethan Hopkins frowned, “Yes, but that was all her forcing me, I didn’t want it. I only want you to bear my children.”

Liliana Leaford shook her head, “A tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, are you really saying that it was all her forcing you?”

Ethan Hopkins was taken aback.

Liliana Leaford smiled knowingly, “I’m sorry, Ethan, I can’t be with you. I can’t be sure that you won’t fall for someone else in the future and treat me the way you treated her.”

“I’m sorry, Ethan Hopkins. I’m afraid, I can’t gamble on such a life.”

Liliana Leaford’s voice carried a sense of strangeness.

“Liliana, do you still doubt our feelings? Everything I did was for you, for our future!”

Ethan Hopkins didn’t expect Liliana Leaford to suddenly change her attitude.

This girlfriend who had been with him for so many years, would one day break up with him.

“You didn’t do it for me, you did it for yourself,” Liliana Leaford said, and then left without looking back.

Ethan Hopkins stood there, feeling a chill throughout his body.

The knife and gun were given to him by Samuel Richardson.

Samuel Richardson hated Molly Walker and the Thompson family to the bone, feeling that only by killing Molly Walker would the Thompson family feel pain.

“I, Samuel Richardson, was made childless by them, why should Daniel Thompson still hope for a house full of children!” Samuel Richardson said, his eyes turning red with anger, “Ethan, take this gun and knife. When necessary, let Gillian Thompson take action. She might not be smart, but she’s cruel.”

He had no choice but to listen to Samuel Richardson’s request, as all his bets were with Samuel.

But he didn’t expect that instead of hurting Molly Walker, he ended up hurting Nicholas Thompson.

Thinking about what Nicholas Thompson did to Gillian Thompson, Ethan Hopkins remained silent.

Upon introspection, Nicholas Thompson truly did nothing wrong to Gillian Thompson.

But Nicholas Thompson taking the knife for Molly Walker was also unexpected for him.

If only Molly Walker had been the one to die.

The plan seemed successful, yet it had failed.

Especially with Liliana Leaford’s departure, he felt both helpless and angry.

He held back his discomfort and tried to walk down the side path but was blocked by a group of bodyguards.

“Master Hopkins, you have trespassed and are suspected of being an accomplice to a murderer. Please stay and wait for the police’s questioning,” the lead bodyguard blocked him with a cold face, and several people formed an impenetrable wall.

“What?” Ethan Hopkins’s face tightened, “An accomplice, I was just passing by.”

However, before he could argue, Joshua Thompson approached with a baton in his cold hand.

“Master Hopkins, how comfortable was it staying in the basement these past few days?” Joshua Thompson toyed with the baton and opened it under Ethan Hopkins’s horrified gaze….

This stick… it’s a stun baton!

“Joshua Thompson, what… what are you doing?”

“To make you pay with your life!”

The baton smashed down hard, and Ethan Hopkins let out a horrific scream before quickly losing consciousness.

Thinking of his second brother’s tragic state, Joshua Thompson’s rage mixed with sorrow, and if not for a shred of reason left, he would have killed him on the spot!
