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

Chapter 510: Chapter 505 Damian Thompson’s Promise_1
 

The word “bastard” was harsh, but it was exactly what Joshua Thompson was thinking.

How could Gillian Thompson’s child be considered his nephew? His relationship with Gillian was severed when Xiaohuang was hit and his unconsciousness persisted.

He used to consider Gillian as his sister, and he could have continued to do so if not for that incident.

But after learning about Gillian’s nature, he really couldn’t find any sympathy for this woman.

Only a brainless person like Nicholas Thompson would defend her.

“You’re pregnant? Then the kidney donation you just mentioned…” Amanda Leaford caught the crucial point, her eyes squinted, her tone was stern, “you deliberately trying to gain pity?”

Hearing this’s Gillian panicked, “I wasn’t trying to gain pity, I was being sincere…Nicholas I…”

She looked at Nicholas Thompson, wanting to explain, but remembered that he already knew about her pregnancy and immediately stopped.

She was less than three months pregnant and, in case of any complications, only few people, including the Hopkins family, knew about it unless Ethan Hopkins had told others.

Thinking about Nicholas Thompson’s promise just now about giving the project to Ethan Hopkins, Gillian’s tense emotions gradually relaxed.

As long as Nicholas helped them, it didn’t matter if their baby was used as a bargaining chip.

“Nicholas, she’s not your sister, and her child is not your nephew. This project is your brother’s first step in solidifying his position in the company. I won’t allow you to give this project to an outsider.” Amanda Leaford said evenly, “As for the kidney donation, we’ll talk about it again. Let’s first wait and see if there is a kidney source. It doesn’t necessarily have to be from you.”

To donate one of her sons’ kidneys to Daniel Thompson would be like cutting off her own flesh.

Her children are her own flesh and blood. Even if Daniel needed blood, she wouldn’t be willing to offer.

Nicholas Thompson frowned, “Mom, I know your relationship with Dad isn’t as good as before, and I know you’re worried about me, but he is after all my father. I don’t want to regret it in the future. Even if my brother doesn’t want to give up the project, I’m still willing to donate my kidney to my father.”

The atmosphere was slightly cold, and Amanda Leaford’s cool facade transformed gradually into heartache.

But she soon saw it clearly.

The child was grown up, and after all Daniel Thompson was their father. She had no reason to stop them from fulfilling their filial duties.

“Brother, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made such a request.” Thinking of his brother’s current situation in the company, Nicholas Thompson felt a hint of guilt.

He wanted to help Ethan Hopkins but his brother’s career should not be sacrificed as a result.

Seeing him backing down, Ethan Hopkins quickly steered the conversation, comforting him, “Thank you, Nicholas. I know you want to help Gillian and me, but indeed, the business is more important to our brother. We are part of the Thompson Group. If our brother does well, we will all do well. ”

“Who is with you?” Joshua Thompson exploded, “Ethan Hopkins, have you no shame? A grown man like you, instead of striving for a career, you are relying on superior connections. Are you planning to live off others forever?”

Ethan Hopkins had never been criticized like this before. His handsome face instantly turned as awkward as a bitter gourd.

Seeing her beloved being criticized like this, Gillian Thompson’s eyes instantly reddened.

She could tolerate them criticizing her, but she couldn’t stand them criticizing Ethan Hopkins.

“Ethan, I know you consider my family as your own. But I am sorry to disappoint you. My family doesn’t even consider me as part of them, I am even worse off than an outsider.” Gillian Thompson covered her mouth and sobbed a few times, “Let’s go, Ethan.”

Ethan hesitated for a moment, feeling that staying here was meaningless. He was feeling impatient with Gillian but couldn’t show it. He managed a forced smile, affectionately took Gillian’s hand, “Okay, let’s leave here.”

Nicholas saw this and frowned slightly.

Although Ethan’s attitude towards Gillian didn’t seem bad on the surface, considering the Hopkins family’s attitude towards Gillian, he began to worry.

No matter how good Ethan’s attitude is towards Gillian, in the end, they have to cater to the Hopkins family’s mood.

Damian Thompson came to his side, his voice gentle:

“If your kidney matches Dad’s, I will help Ethan Hopkins secure this project.”

Nicholas was stunned, suddenly looking at his brother.

Damian Thompson was smiling, watching him carefully, “I know you want to help Gillian, but I hope this is the last time.”

“Okay.” Nicholas nodded, his face getting a bit hot.

This brother of his always thinks about the overall situation. Even though he had done so many out-of-line things recently, his brother had rarely stopped him.

The brother believes in fate and rarely interferes with family choices.

But he knew that this time, he had disappointed his brother.

Despite that, his brother still agreed.

“I promise you, this is the last time I help them. However they fare in the future will have nothing to do with me.” After Nicholas finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if a long-held concern was finally relieved.

As long as they secured this project, the Hopkins family would be stable, and coupled with the dowry he had saved for Gabriel, they would not fare poorly for the rest of their lives.

“Nicholas, we owe Ivy.” Damian’s comment choked Nicholas Thompson and took his breath away.

“The Thompson family raised Gillian for so many years, and had she behaved herself, the Thompson family could have supported her for life.” Damian Thompson’s sleek eyes shined slightly behind his glasses.

If Gillian hadn’t had those sinister thoughts, and lived harmoniously with Ivy instead of causing some out-of-line incidents, the Thompson family could have supported her and even her descendants for generations to come.

But all of this was ruined by Gillian herself.

Nicholas Thompson’s lips moved slightly, his face turned pale.

“I know…” He lowered his head, his fingers slowly clenched into fists, “Don’t worry, brother, this is definitely the last time.”

Seeing him like this, Damian sighed softly.

The Thompson family was born to be protective, but his brother unfortunately protected the wrong person.

He knew about Nicholas’s temperament. Because of his understanding of the law, he knew exactly what crime Gillian had committed.

“Don’t worry, with you protecting her, we won’t do anything to her.”

Nicholas was frozen, staring at him: “You know…”

Damian Thompson’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a shallow smile, his distinct face exuding a touch of noble elegance.

Nicholas felt tense all over.

It was indeed because he intentionally favored Gabriel. Given the grievous mistake Gabriel made, if he didn’t help, she would have to spend the rest of her life in prison.

He understood the severity of Gillian’s mistake, and that’s why he was so biased towards her.

Only a person who understands justice could commit such transgression against family ties.

He admits he’s a villain, he is biased.

He could have been a good lawyer, but he chose to be a good brother instead.

“This time, I will help her for your sake, but if she stubbornly continues to harm the family in the future…”

“She won’t!” Nicholas interrupted hurriedly, assuring, “I can guarantee, once we help them this time, she will definitely not make the same mistake.”

If Gillian was not satisfied even after getting this project, then it would mean she was insatiable, and he would not show her any more leniency.

Gabriel, you mustn’t disappoint Nicholas…
