Even if he didn’t want to admit it, the voice of accusation in Amanda’s cell phone was indeed Gillian Thompson’s.

Gillian tightened her lips, her tears of humiliation welled up in her eyes.

Seeing that Nicholas had taken the cell phone, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief – without evidence, wouldn’t the outcome be whatever she said?

She glared at Molly resentfully and choked out, “I did argue with Mom that day because she wanted me to leave the Thompson family… She said that since my sister was back, they didn’t need me anymore and wanted to give me some money to leave. I refused…”

“You’re lying!” Joshua Thompson exclaimed angrily, “Mom wasn’t like that at all! Gillian, you still won’t tell the truth…?”

He glared at Nicholas viciously and yelled, “Give me the phone! Nicholas, can’t you see that the person you’re defending is slandering Mom? Have you lost your mind to help someone like this?!”

“Second brother, give the phone to third sister,” Damian Thompson was somewhat speechless at Nicholas’ action of snatching the phone, wasn’t this openly opposing Molly?

Nicholas glanced at the phone in his hand and unconsciously looked at Molly. With just that one glance, he saw the thick sarcasm in Molly’s eyes.

He thought of Molly’s words, “I don’t see you as a brother,” and his heart suddenly stung.

He indeed didn’t deserve to be a brother…

If he had to make a choice, he would only choose to be a brother to one person – to be Gabriel’s brother then.

Nicholas gave a cold, mocking smile and slowly lowered his eyes, then pressed the delete button apologetically the next second.

As everyone watched, he looked up at them and said, “Mom’s recording may not have been meant as evidence. Conversations and chats are private matters, and without the consent of those involved, we shouldn’t make them public like this.”

Joshua saw that Nicholas had deleted the recording, his face changed drastically, and he roared as he rushed over and grabbed Nicholas by the collar, punching him in the face, “Nicholas, are you seriously sick? Privacy?! Mom is lying unconscious in bed right now, and you’re talking to me about privacy?!”

Nicholas didn’t fight back, and Gillian, who was next to him, screamed in fear, her face pale with terror.

Daniel Thompson closed his eyes, his fingers clenched into fists, and he scolded coldly, “Enough, stop fighting!”

Daniel was tired.

It had been many years since these brothers had fought, and now they were doing so over something like this.

Joshua still held Nicholas by his collar with no intention of letting go, his lips pouted stubbornly.

Nicholas remained calm, his face reddened and visibly swollen.

“Keep talking!” Daniel Thompson looked at Gillian, “Tell the truth.”

His voice was low and carried a warning. Gillian shuddered and sobbed, “I’ve been telling the truth. Mom and I argued for a long time, and I said back then that I was just a stepping stone for my sister. Then Isabelle Richardson came in and tried to calm us down. That’s when the accident happened – the vase from the cabinet fell, and I didn’t expect Mom to throw herself on me and shield me from danger…”

At this point, Gillian’s crying grew louder, and tears streamed down her cheeks, “It’s all my fault, I should have talked to her properly and not be angry. As long as Mom wakes up, even if I don’t bear the Thompson surname, I won’t resent her anymore!”

Gillian’s crying echoed through the room.

A sarcastic laughter escaped Molly’s lips, her clear voice resounding with irony.

According to Gillian’s narrative, the whole incident was an accident, with no one to blame, and even her angry words had found a convenient excuse.

What a fine story about being asked to leave the Thompson family and having Mom blocking the vase for her.

The cell phone had barely arrived thirty minutes before, and she had only heard the recording once, not having time to copy it before the Thompson family arrived.

She could only temporarily release the recording.

Remembering how Nicholas had deleted the recording, Molly’s lips curled into a cold smile, but her heart felt like it was being weighed down by a stone.

She never expected such an accident.

Nicholas didn’t even try to hide his actions, and snatched the phone directly.

“The recording may have been deleted, but some truths can’t be erased.”

Molly’s lips curved into a slight smile, and the coldness in her eyes shot at Gillian like a knife, “Isabelle Richardson is already finished. If you don’t want to end up like her, it’s best to admit your guilt and turn back now. I have more than just this one piece of evidence.”

They could delete the recording, but could they delete the testimony of people?

Thinking of Bailey Gallagher’s words, Molly felt incredibly grateful that she had shown kindness for once.

If she hadn’t helped Bailey, he wouldn’t have told her about this, and she would have been helpless against Isabelle and Gillian.

Now that there was a witness, what difference did it make if the recording was deleted?

The evidence was there, and none of them could escape.

“Nicholas, you must be afraid too, right? Afraid that the recording would reveal some disgusting words later on.” Molly looked at Nicholas, her tone indifferent, “In fact, before you guys arrived, I had already finished listening to the recording.”

Hearing this, Gillian’s relaxed face tensed up again.

She had been relying on various schemes and calculations, but hadn’t expected Molly to fix the cell phone.

It had only been a few days, yet she managed to find the cell phone and fix it!

Could it be that even the heavens were helping her?

“Gillian Thompson is your family, so I wouldn’t want to interfere, but Amanda Leaford is my Mom.” She walked step by step towards Gillian, looking down at her condescendingly.

Gillian’s heart leaped into her throat, her face turning pale and then flushed. Just as she tried to control her wheelchair to retreat, Molly Walker’s clear voice rang in her ear:

“Some people’s sins are not deep, but in order to cover up small mistakes, they might get deeper and deeper, and from then on, go down a path of no return…” Gillian stared blankly at the ground, waves of shock surging through her heart.

Couldn’t Molly be talking about her?

Initially, she just wanted to prevent Joshua Thompson from presenting the paternity test results, but in the end, it turned into hiring a hitman. She only wanted to argue with Amanda, but accidentally became Isabelle Richardson’s accomplice.

Just like Molly said, she was getting deeper and deeper, making mistakes at every turn.

But now that it had come to this point…

She looked at Nicholas Thompson, whose face was swollen, and her nose started to feel stuffy as tears streamed down her face.

She could not bear to part with her second brother, her father, and all the things in the Thompson family…

She was the favored Gillian Thompson who had the best of everything. Why would the heavens want to take everything away from her now?

There was no turning back, not any longer.

She had made mistakes, but she could only keep on making them.

Seeing Gillian like this, Daniel Thompson’s heart sank to a new low.

Even if he was slow-witted, he could guess that Gillian must have done something to cause Amanda to fall into a coma.

If it wasn’t an accident, then it must have been deliberate.

Since Gillian couldn’t stand properly, she essentially had no real offensive power, so it was likely that someone else was involved…

Daniel immediately thought of Isabelle.

“Was it Isabelle who did it?”

There was anger in his voice.

Molly couldn’t help but laugh.

Daniel was still pretty smart, but his favoritism was too obvious.

Gillian was currently in charge of a major project and also related to the organization, so Daniel would definitely protect her.

She just didn’t expect that even with such obvious evidence, they would still want to play dumb!

In the Thompson family’s estate, Amelia Collins leisurely wandered through the floors and rooms of the mansion.

The Thompson family had finally left, so she took the opportunity to give herself some fresh air.

She stopped in front of a certain room and took a peek inside.

It was Mrs. Thompson, Amanda Leaford’s room.

The room of Daniel’s wife must be luxurious, right?

Amelia excitedly walked around, surprised when no one stopped her.

Little did she know, when Damian brought her back, he had instructed all the Thompson family servants to take good care of her and to try their best to fulfill her requests.

These servants subconsciously treated her as Damian’s girlfriend. They had no reason to stop the young master’s girlfriend from seeing his mom.

As soon as Amelia entered the room, she was stunned by the luxury inside. These days, she had been living a luxurious life herself. She didn’t expect Amanda’s room to be the epitome of extravagance.

Various antique paintings adorned the walls, the softest animal furs carpeted the floor, and wooden furniture of unknown origin emitted a refreshing fragrance, creating an incredibly comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Everything in the room could only be described as luxurious.

Amelia glanced at the bed and saw Amanda’s beautiful face. Just as she marveled at how well Amanda maintained her complexion, Amanda’s fingers twitched slightly.

Amelia rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she had just seen.

Did she see it wrong?

Did Amanda’s fingers just…. move?
