The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce - Chapter 485

Chapter 485: Chapter 480: Thoughts That Shouldn’t Exist
Zhang Yafan’s words revealed Bonnie Lewis’s true colors.

In the end, it was Mr. Crane’s influence behind Zhang Yafan that she feared.

Seeing Bonnie sincerely apologizing, Olivia Sawyer suddenly sneered: “Bonnie, if we switched places, would you let me go?”

Bonnie was stunned for a moment, not reacting right away.

If they switched places, would she let Olivia go?

Of course not.

She would trample Olivia underfoot and ruthlessly crush her.

However, reality didn’t allow her to hesitate. She lifted her chin with a flattering smile, “Of course! We’re in the same industry, and besides, this necklace isn’t cheap. If we switched places, I’d let you off the hook out of respect for the necklace.”

“Oh… that’s a shame, because I won’t.” Olivia looked at Zhang Yafan and apologized, “Sorry, Miss Zhang, could you please escort her out?”

“!!” Bonnie panicked. Before she could speak, Zhang Yafan had already signaled the security guard.

The security guards quickly responded and escorted Bonnie out, each holding one of her arms.

At that moment, everyone’s eyes in the venue were drawn to the spectacle unfolding around Bonnie.

Zhang Yafan was Mr. Crane’s assistant, the organizer of the event, and the head of Jiade Auction House.

The daytime exhibition was just a warm-up; the evening auction was the main event.

Being escorted out by the event’s management was a real embarrassment for Bonnie.

As she was led away by the security guards, her face turned an ugly shade of purple, and she wished she could crawl into a hole and hide.

As expected, as soon as the reporters outside saw Bonnie being escorted out, they swarmed around her.

Bonnie was so furious she felt dizzy.

She never imagined that Olivia had such strong backing.

Seeing Bonnie being escorted out, Olivia felt both happy and relieved.

She was glad she chose to side with Molly Walker instead of Scarlett Jackson.

If she had chosen Scarlett…

Olivia shivered just thinking about it, realizing how frightening the thought was.

“Thank you.” Olivia gratefully looked at Molly, “You’ve helped me again, I don’t know how to thank you.”

“Jeremy Norman and I are friends,” Molly said with a teasing smile. “His friends are my friends.”

Hearing her mention Jeremy, Olivia was no longer as emotional as before, and she didn’t shy away either.

“Having a friend like you is a blessing for both Jeremy and me. Now I know why he likes you.” Olivia playfully blinked, “Not only him, I’m starting to like you too.”

Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful and strong woman?

She was like a rose blooming to life in a desperate situation.

Moreover, Molly had achieved her standing without relying on anyone.

Olivia had to admit that her success in the entertainment industry was thanks to help from her family and the boss.

In contrast, Molly was warm, generous, and never stingy with her resources. As long as she considered someone a friend or family, she would do everything in her power to protect them.

It wasn’t surprising that Jeremy liked a girl like Molly.

It was precisely because of Molly that she and Olivia had reconciled.

Seeing how sincere Olivia was in thanking her, Molly instantly thought of Jerry Jenkins mentioning Olivia and Jeremy’s panic.

Perhaps, some emotions had to reach the end of the road before one could truly understand their heart.

“Miss Sun, have you ever considered that maybe Jeremy likes you?”

Molly’s words were like a bomb that exploded in Olivia’s ears.

Did he like her?

Was it possible?

Thinking about Jeremy’s anger when he saw her with someone else, Olivia bitterly smiled, “He’s just not willing to accept it.”

He was unwilling to accept that the girl who used to cling to him suddenly withdrew.

He couldn’t accept that the person who used to like him no longer did.

After experiencing so many disappointments, she didn’t want to hold on to hope anymore.

“Thank you, Molly. I understand Jeremy.” Olivia paused, “If he liked me, you wouldn’t be in the picture.”

“We’ve been together so many years. If he liked me, we would have been together long ago. We wouldn’t have waited until now. Even if he has feelings for me, it’s not love.”

“Oh, by the way, I have a boyfriend now.” Olivia pulled out her phone, opened her photo album, and showed Molly. “Look, it’s him, and he’s very good to me.”

“Much better than Jeremy.”

Looking at the young and vibrant man in the picture, Molly was at a loss for words.

Although it might be a good thing for Olivia to move on, Molly felt that the fate between her and Jeremy shouldn’t end like this.

At that moment, the man from the photo appeared. He was wearing a backpack and panting as he rushed over.

“Keke, sorry I’m late.” The man was tall and thin, with a small face and a strong youthful vibe.

He scratched his head, shyly smiling.

“It’s okay. The auction hasn’t started yet. Let’s go grab some food first.” Olivia linked her arm with his and headed towards the buffet area.

Molly turned around and instantly caught sight of a familiar figure.

Jeremy seemed to have been standing in the corner for a long time, his hands clenched into fists, his gaze locked onto the retreating figures of Olivia and the young man holding hands.

Molly raised an eyebrow and approached him.

“You’re not just realizing now that the one you actually like is Olivia, are you?”

Jeremy snapped back to reality, looking at Molly with a mixture of emotions.

He had been up all night.

He didn’t know whether he liked Molly or Olivia, and he couldn’t face the contradictory thoughts.

“Jeremy, the truth is, you only liked the teenage me, but who you truly love is Olivia.”

Molly’s words tore away the mask he desperately tried to hide behind.

“Olivia has been with you all along and is irreplaceable. As for me, I am just a memory in your mind that will gradually fade with time.”

Jeremy’s tender gaze fell on Molly, and his lips curved into a gentle smile, “Molly, saying things like that is torturing my heart.”

“You know that I like you… ”

“It’s liking, but it’s not love.” Molly interrupted him and, as his pupils trembled, she whispered, “Jeremy, we’re both people whose hearts are blinded by emotions. When it comes to who we like and who we want to be with, we should ask our own hearts.”

Jeremy pressed his lips together, his long eyelashes lowered, and his hoarse voice sounded like a deep cello symphony, “I’ve asked… ”

“The one I like is… ”

A “bang” sound interrupted him as two glasses collided in midair.

Michael Gallagher held two wine glasses in one hand and wrapped his other arm around Molly, standing between them and separating the two.

Confronting Michael’s cold eyes, Jeremy’s unspoken words got stuck in his heart.

“Jeremy, Molly is now my girlfriend.” Michael casually twisted the other wine glass and shoved it into Jeremy’s hand, “You’d better not have any inappropriate thoughts.”
