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 73: Who Gave You the Courage

But she quickly dismissed that idea.

There's no way Molly Walker could have that ability.

She was adopted from a young age and the Thompson family has not acknowledged her yet. How could she possibly protect Charlie?

"Daddy, do we have any enemies…" She started speaking but stopped midway, intimidated by Samuel Richardson's stern gaze.

"Ever since the anti-corruption campaign started in Orientopia, I have kept my hands clean. At worst, I might have hurt some people over the years, but I never killed anyone. You, on the contrary, are no longer young yet still thinking about murder. Who gave you the courage?"

Isabelle Richardson bowed her head, clenched her teeth, and held back the words that were welling up inside her.

Killing, it was not the first time.

Because the first murder went smoothly, she assumed the second and the third would be the same, but she didn't anticipate running into a snag.
