Chapter 1437When Molly mentioned 'Jordan Ballard', Lesley was stunned, but she quickly gathered herself. She sneered, "You're lying!"Seeing that Lesley did not believe her, Molly was frustrated. She explained again, "I'm not lying. Jordan Ballard is really my teacher!""That's impossible!" Lesley shook her head. "Jordan is now imprisoned in a research base. How could he possibly be your teacher?"Finally, Molly understood why Lesley didn't believe her. She hurriedly explained, "Lesley, that was a long time ago. He had gone out! Now he's in the Grandset!""He's out? He's in the Grandset now?"Lesley couldn't believe it. "To win my trust, you even made up a lie like this."Molly calmed down. "I met Mr. Ballard in Domster..."Then she told Lesley how she had met the old man and what had happened afterwards.Lesley stared at her steadily. She couldn't tell if Molly was lying or not.'... Could she be telling the truth?'Seeing that Lesley seemed to be starting to believe her,
Chapter 1438'Uncle Jordan?'When Molly heard how Lesley called Mr. Ballard, a trace of surprise flashed through Molly's eyes.'I thought that Lesley was Mr. Ballard's granddaughter. It seemed that I was wrong.'Anyway, it's great that she is one of us.'Mr. Ballard recognized Lesley's voice on the phone and became excited. "Lesley, is it you?"Even though he couldn't see her moves, Lesley still nodded nonstop and choked out, "Uncle Jordan, it's me.""Lesley!"Mr. Ballard felt weepy and asked, "How is Logan? Is he with you?"Lesley wiped her tears, forced a smile and tried to say in a relaxing tone, "He's with me and fine. Don't worry."Hearing that, Mr. Ballard breathed a sigh of relief. "It's great. You must have suffered a lot these two years."The Ballards had scattered in different places since they were being imprisoned.After Mr. Ballard knew that Logan and Lesley were fine, Mr. Ballard finally felt relieved slightly."Don't worry about us. You have suffered much mo
Chapter 1439As Rhett couldn't find Molly, he immediately called Eaton."Mr. Scott, Lesley suddenly accelerated her car and took Ms. May away," Rhett said."What?" Eaton was in a meeting. When he heard this, he stood up at once, and others looked at him with confusion.He had to walk aside with his phone and queried grimly, "What has happened?""Ms. May met some people from the Shepard family on the dock."Upon hearing the Shepard family, Eaton became worried and left the research base in a hurry.He had to take Molly back right away.He tried so hard to take her to the island and couldn't allow her to escape.Thinking about it, he stepped on the gas fiercely. Roaring, the car tore along the road.However, he couldn't find Molly after searching.Though angry, he was also slightly flustered. He suddenly thought of a place and immediately turned around at the intersection ahead.This was just a small island, and Eaton didn't believe that he couldn’t locate her.With a squeal
Chapter 1440Looking at the 'rap sheet' in Alioth's hand, Megrez nodded, “Good job! He’s annoying! Write everything down! We'll teach him a lesson sooner or later!"Alioth looked up at Megrez. He thought Megrez had a point and then wrote down more accusations against Eaton.Molly went back to the house.Although she was unhappy with Eaton earlier, she was in a good mood.Now she knew for sure that Lesley was from the Ballard family, which was good news.And he had met Selon.It was good to meet an old friend here.After dinner, Molly went upstairs to rest.Eaton watched her going upstairs with a solemn stare. His eyes narrowed slowly and he ordered, "Rhett, keep an eye on Lesley."He would not let go of what had happened earlier easily.'Lesley is suspicious.'Sensing what Eaton was thinking, Rhett suggested, "Mr. Scott, you can check out Lesley's fiancé. I've heard that he also works here."Eaton glanced at him and nodded, "I know that."Eaton had wanted to look into Les
Chapter 1441Although they had never met before, Eaton had read about the Shepard family, so he knew what Selon looked like.Seeing Selon going in the other direction, Eaton quickly shouted, "Leo!"Leo was the staff showing Selon the way, and Eaton happened to know him.Hearing Eaton's voice, Leo immediately stopped in his tracks. He turned around and asked in confusion, "Dr. Scott, what's the matter?"Eaton approached them. He looked at the three people behind Leo with critical eyes, and he asked, "What are they doing here?""They're..."Leo introduced Selon to Eaton, "This is Dr. Shepard. He's a new researcher, and these two are his sister and cousin."Eaton nodded at Selon and introduced himself, "Nice to meet you. I'm Eaton Scott.""You're a Scott?"Selon raised his eyebrows and said, "That ancient medical family?"Eaton nodded, "Yes, and..."Eaton paused and surveyed Selon with suspicious eyes, and then he continued, "I'm also very close to Molly. We both learned from
Chapter 1442The next day, Molly got up and had breakfast before going out. Because of what had happened yesterday, she didn't go to Lesley mainly for fear that Eaton would give Lesley trouble. Today she went out to find a bookstore to see if there were any medical books. She had read all the books she had brought here, and she didn't want to touch Eaton's books. She was very lucky. She found a bookstore, which looked old, but had many out-of-print medical books in it. Molly was so overjoyed that she took a tour of the whole bookstore, soon many books were in her hands. "Finally, I don't have to worry about having nothing to pass the time." She walked to the cashier with the books, paid the money, and then left. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a man at the door. Molly was caught off guard, so she exclaimed and let go. All the books fell to the ground. "Sorry!" The man who bumped into her apologized immediately. Molly was stunned slightly, wondering, 'Why does this
Chapter 1443Molly didn't expect him to suddenly act this way. Startled, she subconsciously took two steps back, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Well, it's fine. I hurt myself by accident.""Really? Not hurt by anyone?"Vaughn stared at her closely, his tone imperceptibly sinking. Molly smiled. "Yeah. It's true. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shepard."Vaughn studied her expression to confirm she was not lying and then nodded.In a warm voice, he said, "Sorry for startling you just now. I was worried about seeing the bandage on your neck. I hope you don't mind.""No, not at all." Molly shook her head, secretly relieved inside. Vaughn asked again, "Do you have time? I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee to return your favor of helping me pick out the book."Molly hastily declined, "It's fine and just a favor, Mr. Shepard."Vaughn smiled. "You're Selon's friend, and you went with our family for the charity medical mission in Domster, which makes a friend of mine too, so ple
Chapter 1444 "It's nothing! Even if there are outsiders here, I can talk about it." Vaughn said softly, "You know the situation of the Shepard family. They are deeply involved with that side. It is not easy to end it so quickly. A few days ago, there were indeed some accidents! Selon's father was taken away, so he could only come here." His short statement didn't seem to reveal much information, but Molly understood everything. Selon's father was taken away by people of the Martial Art Union, so Selon was threatened. In other words, the Shepard family had failed to escape the control of the Martial Art Union! Thinking of this, Molly became serious. If this was the case, wouldn't Sean's plan be in vain? Though listening to their conversation, Rhett didn't know what they were talking about. He pricked up his ears, trying to figure out the situation. But Molly and Vaughn changed the topic. Later, when the two chatted for a while, Molly said goodbye to Vaughn. Vaughn smil
