Chapter 244: Chapter 243: Supporting Emma Smith

Translator: 549690339

At the Leaford family’s villa, Natalie Lambert walked out the door, holding Molly Walker’s arm and laughing. “Let’s go, my dad gave me a card and told me to take you shopping. We must make him pay a lot today.”

After last night, James Leaford gave her a credit card to take Molly shopping. After having breakfast, Natalie pulled her dear cousin out the door.

“Huh, why are there people arguing at the entrance?” Natalie widened her eyes, about to call security when Molly quickly stopped her.

“It’s my friend.”

It was Emma Smith and Samuel Richardson.

Emma seemed to be unable to bear it and argued with Samuel on the spot. The embarrassed driver sat in the nearby BMW, not quite sure whether to leave or stay.

“Mr. Richardson, this is at the entrance of the Leaford family’s villa, and security is already approaching. Shall we leave first?”

Seeing the security coming over, the driver plucked up the courage to persuade them.

The Leaford family not only had a business background but also had connections to politics. Their security staff, tall and strong, were at least retired special forces soldiers. Staying here could not only cause embarrassment but also potential harm.

His driver’s reminder brought Samuel Richardson to his senses.

He didn’t come here to argue today. His anger just now almost made him forget his main goal.

“If you don’t want anything to happen to your grandmother, help me one last time.” Samuel’s voice softened, “I know you have savings, but if your grandmother gets kicked out of the hospital, it won’t be easy to get back in.”

Emma’s face turned pale with anger.

The hospital arrangements for her grandmother were actually made by Samuel Richardson through his connections. If her grandmother were to be discharged, the waiting time would be at least half a month.

Her grandmother’s illness couldn’t bear to wait half a month.

Samuel hit her weak spot.

Emma bit her lip, with tears swirling in her eyes.

She didn’t care what Samuel did to her, but she couldn’t bear to see her grandmother suffer!

“I’m not close with Ivy Thompson.” She said as tears flowed down her cheeks.

Samuel Richardson’s face changed, looking extremely ugly. “She came when you called her last time, and now you’re telling me that you’re not closed to her?”

“Mr. Richardson ” A gentle voice broke in.

Emma looked at the newcomer and muttered, “Ivy Thompson  ”

Seeing Molly, Samuel immediately put on a pleasing expression.

Molly glanced at Emma and judged from the conversation she heard that she must have some idea of what was going on.

Last time when Emma invited her, she explained that it was Samuel who found her. At that time, she agreed to lend him seven hundred fifty thousand dollars because of Emma’s relationship.

Emma had helped her a lot. If she asked Molly for help, she wouldn’t refuse.

But she never thought Emma would have such a strong backbone and would rather confront Samuel than let him control her. She appreciated her character and was grateful for her protection.

“Miss Thompson, I have thought about the loan you mentioned last time.” Samuel immediately took a card out of his bag and handed it to her, “There are seven hundred fifty thousand dollars in this, not a cent less.”

Seeing Samuel like this, Emma blushed to the roots of her neck and turned her head away, refusing to look at her thick-skinned father.

“Borrowing money? Cousin, when did you lack money?” Natalie, who didn’t know the whole story, only heard the words “borrowing money” and looked at Molly worriedly. “If you lack money, just tell me; there’s no need to find an outsider.”

The word “outsider” was like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly smashing Samuel Richardson’s face.

Emma was right. If Molly truly needed money, she could borrow it from anyone. There was no need to borrow it from him in particular.

Seeing Molly’s indifferent face, Samuel’s heart sank to the bottom.

He missed such a good opportunity last time. Now, when he came to Molly with his dignity lowered, others might not care about it either.

Just when he had no hope, Molly reached out and took the card from him.

“Since you’re prepared, I won’t be polite.” Molly smiled and took the card, and this seemingly simple action left Samuel delighted.

“About our previous grudge ”

“Do we have any grudge?” Molly Walker raised her eyebrows, smiling ambiguously, “Mr. Richardson, as long as you treat Emma Smith well, we won’t have any grudge.”

Samuel Richardson’s expression froze.

This was a warning, and a reminder.

Emma Smith’s eyes became red and swollen, this was someone backing her up!

Although the two of them had barely interacted, Ivy Thompson had given her enough face.

Seeing Emma Smith’s grateful smile, Molly Walker casually held the card and hooked her lips.

She wasn’t a saint or a good person; she just returned tit for tat. Besides, the seven hundred fifty thousand dollars from Samuel Richardson that she didn’t have to pay back was a great deal, and no one would refuse money.

Samuel Richardson was just afraid she would use the organization to suppress him, but she wouldn’t stoop that low. As long as he didn’t think about kicking Isabelle out, she could at least give him a verbal assurance.

After everything was settled, Samuel Richardson happily returned home with Emma Smith.

Molly Walker and Zoey Lambert went to the shopping mall, picked a few bags at random, and when Zoey wanted to pay, Molly paid first instead.

She swiped the card Samuel Richardson had given her.

“Free money shouldn’t be wasted.” Before Zoey Lambert could get angry, Molly Walker shook the card in her hand and briefly explained, “Although it is borrowed money, it doesn’t need to be returned.”

Hearing this, Zoey Lambert’s face gradually softened: “You still shouldn’t have paid; otherwise, I’ll be scolded when we go back.”

Molly Walker grinned and affectionately held Zoey Lambert’s hand: “I haven’t been to Capital City many times, and I like you, Cousin. Consider this bag a token of my gratitude.”

Zoey Lambert smiled and poked her head: “You are such a sweet talker.”

“Then I won’t be polite.” Just as she was about to pick up another bag, someone else grabbed it.

“I want this one.” The person took the bag and headed to the counter, where a middle-aged man in a suit was standing.

Seeing the man, Zoey Lambert exclaimed in surprise, “Uncle!”

Molly Walker looked up and saw that this man was none other than Daniel Thompson.

Daniel Thompson was still in Capital City!

Then she saw the woman beside him holding the bag, and it just so happened to be Phoebe Belmont!

Seeing Zoey Lambert, Daniel Thompson’s face turned awkward, as he hadn’t expected to meet acquaintances in such a place.

“Zoey, what are you doing here?” Daniel Thompson barely finished speaking when he saw Molly Walker smiling at him from a distance.

Daniel Thompson’s face turned pale and then green.

Being caught in such an awkward situation by his own daughter time and time again, Daniel Thompson’s face couldn’t hold up any longer.

Phoebe Belmont, on the other hand, remained calm.

Today, she had asked Daniel Thompson to take her shopping as compensation for last night.

The Leaford family had humiliated Daniel Thompson, and all she needed was to add fuel to the fire for Daniel Thompson and Amanda Leaford to be separated for good.

Seeing Daniel Thompson standing with another woman, Zoey Lambert’s anger flared up, and she stepped forward and slapped Phoebe Belmont across the face: “Slut! Are you proud of being a homewrecker?”

Daniel Thompson’s affair at the banquet last night had already spread. Zoey Lambert hadn’t planned to interfere in adult matters, but seeing this woman, she immediately felt indignant for her aunt.

Phoebe Belmont covered her face and said nothing, while Daniel Thompson stepped in front of Phoebe Belmont, warning Zoey Lambert, “Zoey, she’s just my subordinate, not a mistress.”

“Not a mistress? You’re buying her bags, but she’s not a mistress?” Zoey Lambert pointed at the bag in front of Phoebe Belmont and questioned, “Why haven’t I seen you buy bags for Cousin? Do you think your own daughter is not even as important as your subordinate?”

“Do you know how pitiful Cousin is? Today, she’s still trying to borrow money from the Richardson family to support herself ”

Molly Walker covered her mouth with her hand and couldn’t help but cough.
