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

She had always been obedient and docile in their three years of hidden marriage, watching as he surrounded himself with women and was mired with endless scandals. On the day the subject of his unrequited love returned to the country, she quietly handed him a divorce agreement. “What, you have someone you like?” he asked coldly. She smiled nonchalantly. “Yes. You may not acknowledge me as your wife, but someone will acknowledge me as their lover.” Later, as the Thompson family acknowledged their connection, she became a rich daughter who was out of his reach. As men flocked around her, Michael Gallagher realized that in those three years, she had planted the seeds of love that had now grown into a towering tree, binding him for life.

Chapter 13: The Thompson Family's Enormous Wealth

Redakteur: Henyee Translations

Thick smoke billowed, obscuring the ground.

Everyone rushed outside.

If Michael Gallagher hadn't been so terrified of fire, he would have easily escaped, but his fear paralyzed him. When a fire broke out, it became nearly impossible for him to get away.

Molly Walker quickly grabbed a nearby tablecloth, soaked it in the fish tank, and draped it over her body before sprinting upstairs.

...

Michael Gallagher stood frozen at the door, overwhelmed by the familiar smoke.

His feet felt glued to the floor as he watched a tall figure rush toward him, disoriented.

"Michael, Michael..."

The figure called out, grabbing him and trying to pull him away.

Michael closed his eyes, his throat hoarse as he softly whispered a name.

Molly Walker's body stiffened.

As she had suspected, Michael couldn't move when confronted with fire. This was his hidden weakness.
