Chapter 469: Chapter 465: You’re Just a Stranger_2


    “It wasn’t me who saved you, it was Third Brother.”


    As she prattled on about her “Third Brother,” a sour feeling welled up in Nichs Thompson’s heart.


    He knew that he would never be able topete with Joshua Thompson in Molly Walker’s heart.


    In the past, he had imagined countless scenes of their reunion and had thought that he would treat this sister better than his other brothers. But he ultimately broke his promise.


    With this in mind, Nichs suddenly felt a slight pang of guilt.


    “This is for you.” Nichs hesitated before handing her the box in his hands, “This is a gift I’ve always wanted to leave for you, but I never had the chance to give it to you. Today you asked me toe out, so I remembered that I hadn’t given it to you.”


    Molly’s gaze fell on the box, recalling the scene of his confrontation with the car thief just now.


    He didn’t hesitate to transfer one hundred fifty thousand dors to the other person, but then risked his life over the box.


    And this box was meant for her.


    Molly found itughable.


    “Nichs Thompson, don’t tell me the contents of this box were bought specifically for me. Is this worth fighting over with the car thief?”<div>


    Molly picked up the box and casually yed with it for a while.


    Seeing that she took the box, Nichs let out a sigh of relief: “Inside it is actually a…”


    With a “snap,” the box fell onto him and rolled onto the ground.


    “I don’t care what’s inside the box, Nichs Thompson. To me, you’re just a stranger.” Molly coldly sneered, looking at Nichs’ increasingly pale face, “Why would I ept a gift from a stranger?”


    “Oh, right, Gillian Thompson messaged me, asking me to give her boyfriend’spany a chance to coborate. Tell her that she has no chance with me. You’re not my brother, and you have no dignity here.”


    “As for her boyfriend’spany, I won’t cooperate with them either. Please don’t try to get close to Jeremy Norman. Otherwise, I won’t mind dealing with you.”


    At her final words, Nichs felt his body shudder and his expression became nk.


    As Molly walked away, Nichs stared at her retreating figure in a daze, eventually revealing a somewhat helpless smile.


    He looked down at the box on the ground, squatted down to pick it up, and wiped off the dust.


    He thought at least there might be some sense of kinship left between him and Molly, and that she would be willing to put aside her hatred for the sake of Gabriel.


    Even a janitor’s job represented her eptance of Gabriel.


    But he was wrong.


    Molly never truly epted Gabriel.


    He was overly fanciful.


    Nichs, still holding the box, made a call to Gillian Thompson while walking: “Bring your boyfriend ande over, I have something to tell you both.”


    At that moment when he desperately protected the box, he suddenly realized something.


    Some things should be set back on track.


    At this moment, Gillian Thompson had just finished “exercising” together with Ethan Hopkins.


    Both parties were slightly weary.<div>


    At first, she didn’t want to answer Nichs’ call, but she was tired of hitting a dead end with Molly and didn’t want to keep trying.


    Perhaps speaking with her second brother might lead to help.


    “My second brother says for me to bring you to meet with him.” Gillian Thompson happily hung up the phone.


    At this time, Ethan Hopkins was dressing her, covering the somewhat unsightly prosthetic leg.<div>


    Hearing Gillian’s words, Ethan’s actions paused as his face revealed a mix of excitement and nervousness.


    “Your second brother really agreed to meet me?”


    The Thompson brothers were practically a legend in Sunnydale City.


    Being the richest family in Sunnydale, one of thergest cities in Orientopia, the Thompson family’s influence was certainly not to be underestimated.


    It was said that the Thompson family had so much money that it couldn’t fit in several mansions. What made them famous, aside from being the richest family, were the four amazing men from the Thompson family.


    Daniel Thompson and his three sons.


    Although Daniel was somewhat confused now, in his younger days, he had no equal in the business world.


    As long as he negotiated a partnership, it would always be sessful, and any project he participated in would make money. Daniel Thompson’s name became synonymous with “lucky fish.”


    Back then, it was said that the Thompson family’s luck was so good that losing a daughter had just bnced it out.


    The Thompson brothers had been famous since they were young, with their good looks and outstanding academic achievements making them popr from an early age.


    To tell the truth, Ethan was envious of the Thompson brothers.


    He was an only child, and despite working hard at his studies, he was just average. Other than his decent looks, Ethan couldn’tpare with the Thompson brothers in any way.


    Although he was also known as a “wealthy scion,” his status only scraped by with the “wealthy”bel.<div>


    Real wealthy scions were like the Thompson brothers.


    Hearing that Nichs wanted to meet him, Ethan was naturally excited.


    If he could connect with the Thompson family, then his marriage to Gillian would be meaningful.


    Plus, Molly was the Boss of “W,” which further helped their case. At first, his mother opposed his rtionship with Gillian, but as soon as she heard about these connections, his mother immediately changed her tune.


    “Gillian, my mother has always had high hopes for you. You know that my family doesn’t approve of our rtionship. But if we can get your second brother’s support, my mother will surely love you even more.”


    Upon hearing this, Gillian became somewhat ufortable: “If your mother doesn’t like me, my life will be difficult.”


    Contemting a future with such a mother-inw, she was beginning to be hesitant about marriage.


    “I know it’s frustrating, but my parents have ced great expectations on me. It’s my own insistence on marrying you. If you feel upset in the future, just think of me.” Ethan lowered his head to look at her leg, gently stroking it, “If not for this leg, I wouldn’t feel so guilty towards my parents.”


    Gillian’s heart ached as she clenched Ethan’s hand: “I’m sorry, Ethan. I’ll work hard to prove myself to them in the future. When we meet your second brotherter, I’ll mention our marriage ns and the coboration with ‘W.’”


    “Don’t worry, my second brother dotes on me. As long as I cry, he’ll listen to anything I say.”
