If it weren’t for Daniel Thompson’s ambiguous attitude, she wouldn’t have released that photo.

Amanda Leaford is in Capital City, and if she releases this photo, considering Amanda’s character, she would definitely choose to divorce without any hesitation.

As long as Amanda initiates the divorce, she will have a chance, but she did not expect that Daniel was determined to go to the Capital City despite being stopped.

She must follow him, only in this way can she have a chance to take the upper hand.

Leaford family’s villa.

Molly Walker changed into a black long dress, showing her graceful upper body, the two young ladies of the Leaford family couldn’t stop praising her.

This dress was bought by my older sister from an auction, she has not been able to lose weight successfully, I think you should not lose weight anymore, from now on this dress can be Ivy’s.” The speaker was Natalie Lambert, James Leaford’s eldest daughter, who was wearing a princess dress with a playful smile on her face.

“Fine, it will be given to Ivy.” Zoey Lambert looked at her slightly plump figure in the mirror, and her face fell, as she was a food lover and could never lose weight.

“How can this be! Cousin, this is your dress, I can’t take it.” Molly Walker immediately refused.

Zoey Lambert patted her hand, solemnly saying, “This is a gift from your oldest cousin, although I like this dress, I can’t wear it, but it suits you perfectly. Just think of it as I am wearing it.”

Molly Walker looked at herself in the mirror, this black, long dress was a strapless, off-shoulder design, with a fitted bodice starting from the waist and a skirt that flared from the calf, emphasizing her waistline. The skirt’s most luxurious aspect was the diamonds embedded in the hem, brilliantly dazzling and exquisite.

This was a modern take on a medieval dress, very valuable and more importantly, unique, and she indeed liked it.

“Thank you, cousin.” Molly Walker accepted without feeling embarrassed, and then took out two boxes from her bag and handed them over, “These are gifts that I brought for both of you.”

Natalie Lambert and Zoey Lambert cheerfully received them.

“Ivy’s figure is so good, you can’t tell that she’s had a child at all.” Zoey Lambert sincerely admired her figure, her beauty and great figure made even her, another woman, drool.

Molly Walker gave a shy smile, and Amanda Leaford who got dressed up, walked over and said to them, “The banquet will begin in half an hour, so get ready and come out quickly.”

“Alright, Aunt,” Zoey Lambert and Natalie both nodded with a smile.

After Molly Walker and Amanda Leaford left, Natalie Lambert snatched the gift box from Zoey’s hand, “Let’s see what Ivy has sent you.”

“Hey!” Zoey Lambert wanted to grab it back but was defeated by Natalie’s fast and agile movements to open the box.

A shimmering diamond butterfly caught their eyes.

The butterfly was divided into three parts: two wings and a body. The wings were embedded with small diamonds, and the body was a multi-carat marquise diamond. The three rings could be combined into one large ring, and the marquise diamond in the middle could be used separately as a pendant. The design was simple, and the lifelike butterfly had fancy yellow diamond whiskers that vibrated.

“Wow!” Natalie’s eyes widened, “This is so beautiful!”

Seeing the palm-sized butterfly, Zoey was astonished, and her eyes widened. She liked to buy things at auction, and this was the first time she had seen such a jewelry design.

This gift hit the spot for her.

“Ivy is so generous!” The value of this item had long surpassed that of the dress, and Natalie’s face was full of envy. She could not wait to open her own box, and when she saw the contents, her eyes were immediately glued to them.

In the box was a long hairpin inlaid with kingfisher feathers, coral, and tourmaline, depicting a phoenix and a peony. Although it was an old item, it was well preserved, especially the vivid kingfisher feather colors, which looked like new.

Such items were no longer allowed to be produced, and old ones were extremely difficult to find.

Natalie was always fond of such vintage-style items. Upon seeing the piece, she couldn’t let go of it.

“Perfect! Absolutely perfect!”

Gifts catering to their preferences and given generously.

She was practically in love with her new cousin!

“Who would have thought that we would be ultimately benefitting,” Zoey put on a bitter smile but was overjoyed deep down. This implied that her new cousin also really liked them a lot.

“After all, she is our real cousin.” Speaking of this, Natalie’s face turned colder, “By the way, sis, Gillian Thompson messaged me that she will be coming tonight, but I didn’t reply to her.”

She didn’t agree, but with Gillian’s personality, if she wanted to come, she would find a way to do so.

Thinking of this person, Zoey’s smile faltered.

Before this, their relationship with Gillian wasn’t bad, and they had been at peace for many years. But ever since that incident came to light a while ago, they started to keep their distance from Gillian.

“Let’s just pretend we didn’t see her.”

They didn’t dare to get close to Gillian anymore because of her character.

At the Jenkins family’s villa, Old Man Jenkins stormed into Zachary’s room, and seeing him still sleeping, he swung his crutch at him: “You brat, today is your grandfather’s family reunion banquet, and they specifically asked for your presence. What the hell are you doing here?”

Zachary turned lazily and opened his eyes: “Not interested.”

“Really not interested?” Mr. Jenkins leaned closer and smirked, “It’s your ex-wife’s family reunion banquet tonight. I don’t believe you’re not interested.”

Zachary’s long eyes blinked, and the light in them gradually dimmed.

A family reunion banquet? It must be her engagement banquet with Jeremy Norman.

Thinking that the whole Norman family would be there, Zachary felt nauseous.

“Not going, sleeping.” He pulled the blanket over his head.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Jenkins straightened up and teased: “Fine, you don’t go, I’ll go. After all, she’s carrying my great-grandson. I need to keep an eye on my great-grandson’s stepfather.”

The word “stepfather” deeply hurt Zachary’s eardrums.

Thinking of Molly’s words “My old friend is gone, it’s time to start a new life,” the stone in his heart grew heavier and heavier, making it hard for him to breathe.

He “died”, and she wasn’t wrong to remarry, but why did she have to do it so fast? So fast that he didn’t have time to tell her about his new identity before she was getting married.

“I’ve seen that Jeremy Norman brat before, he’s a decent guy. I heard he’s been looking for a woman for all these years, and it turns out she’s Ivy Thompson. Thankfully, Michael Gallagher ‘died,’ or he wouldn’t have been able to chase her.”

“I heard the Normans have picked a name for Ivy’s baby and are even planning to put it in their family tree ”

Hearing this, Zachary clenched his fists, making cracking noises.

Old Man Jenkins didn’t leave, and with a sidelong glance at his grandson, he laughed heartily: “Don’t take it too seriously. It’s just a baby. You can also have children with other women in the future. Don’t worry about having just one, you can have ten ”

“Grandfather!” Zachary interrupted him emotionlessly, “I will not marry another woman.”

He was not like that woman, Molly. In his life, if he couldn’t marry the person he loved, he’d rather not marry at all.

“Do you want to end your bloodline?” Old Man Jenkins’s white eyebrows raised, “Let me tell you, if you don’t have descendants, when you grow old, you will be surrounded by nothing but wolves and tigers.”

“Whatever.”

Zachary sat up and slowly put on his clothes, his eyes cold as ice.

“Let’s go.”

“Where?”

“To the family reunion banquet of my baby’s mother.”

“Oh.” Old Man Jenkins almost laughed out loud, “Don’t forget that you’re not Michael Gallagher now, behave yourself once you’re there.”

The baby in Ivy’s belly was Michael Gallagher’s, not Zachary’s.

“By the way, remember to bring a female companion with you.”
