Even Sean could feel that Molly was starting to get unhappy, but Abigail could not notice it at all. She chimed in as if she was trying to be helpful.She said enthusiastically, "It's okay, Ms. May. We can help you since we're friends. I'll introduce you to some young, good-looking, and successful guys. Their family backgrounds are all decent. You can live your life as a rich wife after you're married, and you won't have to work so hard anymore. Or do you have any particular requirements in choosing a partner? You can tell me, and I'll keep an eye out for you."What Abigail said meant more than just helping Molly in finding a partner. It was obvious that every word she said was disrespectful to Molly. It sounded like she was simply asking how rich Molly would want her partner to be.The triplets could not bear to listen to how mean Abigail was being, so they threw her a question with a smile. "Miss, do you have a boyfriend then?"Abigail was shocked by their question. She looked at
Nobody said anything. Molly and the triplets pretended like nothing happened as they continued eating quietly.Alice saw how awkward Abigail looked while standing, so she pulled her to sit down. She put some food onto Abigail's plate before complaining to Sean, "Sean, why did you get so mad? You scared Abigail. I won't introduce anyone to her. Instead, I'll let her decide for herself."It was clear that she was putting the blame on Sean.Then, Alice turned to Molly and said, "My old age turned me into a naggy person. Ms. May, please don't mind what I said.""I won't," Molly responded flatly.She knew clearly what Alice and Abigail were trying to do. They were just using this meal as an excuse to pick on her.Molly did not lose her temper, but that did not mean she would be okay with being treated like that.She left with the triplets right away once they were done eating. She did not want anyone to think that she wanted to stay in Sean's house because she had other intentions.
"If they ask, just tell them that it's to avoid misunderstanding. Please also let the chef know we won't serve them dinner from now on."Molly thought it would be best to keep a distance from the Anderson family. That would do good for her and her kids as well as Sean. She had no slightest interest in being dragged into some wealthy family feud.Alex's face changed one he heard Molly. He looked at his mother with a worried face. "Mommy, do you really have to do this?" He muttered in his mind, 'Did mommy plan to cut daddy off?'Ben and Claudia could no longer stay put. They rushed over, wanting to dissuade their mother."Mommy, are we not going to dine in with Uncle Sean anymore?""Mommy, Uncle Sean has treated us well. Not only did he get us a tutor, he even took us on a trip. ""That's right! Mommy, do you remember how Uncle Sean helped us on a few occasions when those bad people from the May family bullied us? Uncle Sean has been very good to us! Are we really going to cut ties
"Go meet Dr. May. Tell her that she needs to finish what she has started because she took the job. One more thing, let her know I'll take care of what happened today. Ask her not to be bothered about it.""Right away!" Tony rushed over next door. Back then, he had spent a long time persuading Molly to treat his boss's condition. Hence, he was the last one who wanted to see his efforts go down the drain!'No way our chef knows how to brew medicine. Without Ms. May treating my boss in person, it'll take him a long time to recover. There's nothing good about this!'All this because of Abigail Nolan!'Tony forced a servile smile and did not move an inch away from Molly. He explained that what had happened earlier was an accident and said Sean would take care of everything about Alice and Abigail. Most importantly, Sean promised that it would never happen again.Tony talked on and on. At the same time, he was looking at the triplets, who let him in just now, with grateful eyes. He was
Sean's father, Ricky Anderson, did not look happy about what Sean had done either. He felt his son had gone too far.When Alice was about to make the phone call, Ricky suddenly grabbed her hand. "Tsk. Drop it. Don't push Sean too hard. He did that to send us a message. He's giving us a piece of his mind!"Although Ricky was in a tight spot, his mind remained clear and rational. Unlike last time, he directly talked his wife out of doing what she had wanted. 'I hesitated when I should've stopped her in the afternoon. All because of that, we left Sean no choice. We're family. I don't want things to get ugly.'Alice shot her husband a glare. But she calmed herself down the moment she saw his face. When she finally put down her phone, she suddenly realized she was at her wit's end. She felt nothing but a headache now.In the meantime--Sean did not feel bothered by his own decision at all, even though it would put his family and the Nolan family in turmoil. Instead, he was in his study
Benjamin Forts did not expect to see Molly today. He was actually planning to meet her.Molly, on the other hand, brushed Benjamin's compliment aside with a dismissive wave. She was thinking that she should have just left everything to him since he was here.When the two exited the ward and Molly was about to leave the hospital, Benjamin suddenly fished something out of his pocket and handed it to her. "When my grandfather knew I'd to stay here for my career, he wanted me to meet his friends and acquaintances so they'd know my face," he said resignedly.It was an invitation card with gold lettering with a pleasant-to-touch surface. On the bottom left, there was a family name, "Forts," written. Molly had heard about this family before.The Forts family was a prominent family in Northfolk. Benjamin, the second son of the family, had earned his fame in the medical field despite being young, so his family was very proud of him.Molly thought, 'His grandfather is willing to pave the wa
Molly put down the plate. She wanted to walk away. Knowing that her encounter with Abigail would be unpleasantly awkward, she wanted to avoid Abigail and her gang.Unfortunately, Abigail spotted Molly. She picked up her skirt while sauntering toward Molly. "Hi, Ms. May," she greeted Molly with grace.The ladies exchanged looks. They thought Molly was Abigail's friend, and since they were here to socialize on behalf of their families, they followed Molly. One of them asked, "Abigail, you know this lady?"The ladies were checking Molly out. Molly was donned in a long black dress, revealing her fair skin over her beautiful collarbone. Despite her aloofness, they could not take their eyes off her beauty. Assuming that abundant efforts must have been invested to nurture a beauty as outstanding as Molly, the ladies thought she was an heiress from one of the prominent families.Abigail acted as if nothing had happened. She put on a friendly façade when she introduced Molly to the ladies.
The way Benjamin said it made it sound like he was someone very close to Molly. His attitude gave Sean an indescribable irritation.Sean slightly pressed his lips. He remained calm as he said, "That won't be necessary. It's my pleasure to take care of them since I've been eating the meals she cooks every day."His remarks were an innuendo that would leave ample room for interpretation.Without others noticing, Benjamin's hand by his side clenched into a fist. At that moment, it was as if the world had fallen silent, and gun smoke had filled the air between them.Molly had no idea about the tussle between Sean and Benjamin. She was busy dealing with Abigail.'Sean canceled the deal with Noland Group to avoid rumors about the marriage alliance between him and Abigail. By rights, given Abigail's character, she should resent me. But tonight, when we met again, she acted like nothing had happened. What is she up to?' Molly did not know Abigail well enough to figure out her motive.As
