Chapter 515: Chapter 510: Let me tell you a secret_1
 

Scarlett Jackson’s breath hitched, but thinking of her dire need, she steeled herself and said, “The Gallagher family’s fire wasn’t an accident.”

Not an accident?

Molly Walker thought of that huge fire, initially aimed at Michael Gallagher, but in the end, Xavier Gallagher saved him.

This inexplicable fire, was not an accident after all.

Thinking of Jerry Jenkins’ concern for Scarlett, Molly narrowed her eyes.

“I heard it all from Jerry Jenkins. I can tell you everything I heard, but I also have a request.” Afraid that Molly would refuse, Scarlett immediately added, “I want you to protect me, you’ve seen how perverted Jerry is, once I tell you everything, he will certainly kill me.”

“This is a legal society, you’re worrying too much,” Molly dismissed.

“No, there is no law with Jerry!” Scarlett somewhat lost it. She grabbed Molly’s hand and pleaded, “Molly, I know I have offended you in the past, I was blind not to realize your importance. I was mistaken. Can you help me? Now, you’re the only one who can help me. Help me, and I’ll tell you all the secrets, okay?”

Seeing Scarlett begging her so earnestly, Molly didn’t react at all.

For all the things Scarlett had done, it wouldn’t be too much to send her to prison.

While Jerry Jenkins was indeed problematic, Scarlett was not so innocent either.

If it weren’t for trying to unsettle Jerry, she wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to save her.

But the “secrets” Scarlett spoke of, were indeed crucial to her.

“Scarlett, I’m just an ordinary person, I can’t protect anyone.”

“No, you’re the head of ‘W’. You have so many subordinates, you can rescue me from Jerry, you can certainly protect me. ‘W’ is omnipotent, I don’t believe in anyone, but I believe in you.” Scarlett clung on to Molly like grabbing a lifesaver, refusing to let go.

Others may not know, but she did. Over this whole night, ‘W’ had displayed its extraordinary abilities.

Jerry Jenkins, a man with many resources, yet he couldn’t touch her in one night.

She was sure that without the help of Molly, she would be stalked by Jerry as soon as she stepped out.

“‘W’ is just a company after all, it’s not as strong as you think.” Molly found it amusing how Scarlett was regarding her as the savior. Scarlett despised her to the bone previously, now clinging onto her desperately.

Such a drastic change in one night, all because of a more perverted Jerry Jenkins.

“No, ‘W’ is indeed strong,” Scarlett lowered her voice.

She aimed to take it back before, but after this one night, she dropped that thought.

‘W’ was strong indeed, but she had to survive to take it.

Compared to Jerry, she thought Molly’s punishment to her was rather merciful.

Jerry, a pervert, was willing to kill directly.

“‘W’ won’t protect people for nothing.” Molly narrowed her eyes, “But if your secrets hold enough value, I might consider.”

Scarlett was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with excitement, staring at Molly closely, “It will be useful, the fire on Michael Gallagher back then was caused by Jerry Jenkins.”

Remembering what Jerry had said, Scarlett’s eyes darkened.

“Jerry orchestrated the fire because he wanted Michael Gallagher dead.”

Molly was silent, her brows furrowing slightly.

Jerry, it was really Jerry…

“He’s not a fool at all. Over these years, he’s been pretending to be foolish,” After speaking, Scarlett suddenly realized, “No wonder, no wonder Mr. Jenkins could hold up the Jenkins family this long, because of Jerry’s support.”

“Pretending to be a fool all these years, to avoid Michael Gallagher’s suspicion, haha, Jerry really made a good plan.”

Scarlett appeared a bit gleeful over Jerry’s misfortune.

Keeping up this act for so long, it was unfortunate that she overheard everything.

If Jerry hadn’t noticed her or engaged in a transaction with her, she could have kept Jerry’s secret.

But he had been ruthless to her, so now she couldn’t be blamed for revealing his secret.

Molly closed her eyes, her hand slightly trembling.

Jerry’s act wasn’t surprising; she had guessed it already.

But what she didn’t guess was, he had meddled with Gallagher’s family affairs.

If Jerry was trying to harm Michael Gallagher, this didn’t make sense.

If he was prepared to harm him, he had no reason to fail, even if he had, there were numerous opportunities afterwards.

Why was there only one attempt?

Remembering Xavier’s hatred for Michael, an answer begun to stir in her mind.

It seemed, she had to ask Michael about this again.

If Jerry really was this ruthless, he would certainly harm Michael again, even her, and her family in the future.

If Jerry was indeed this ruthless, she would rather strike first.

“Alright, I’ve told you my secret. Molly, don’t forget what you’ve promised, to protect me,” Seeming to remember something, Scarlett gritted her teeth, “Don’t worry, I won’t make you protect me for nothing, I’ll pay you a protection fee every month.”

She didn’t believe Molly would keep her promise, but if she gave her money, Molly wouldn’t have a good reason to refuse.

Molly nodded, “The protection fee is one hundred fifty thousand a month, signed for one year. Later, I’ll have someone from the company come and sign a contract with you.”

“One hundred fifty thousand?!” Scarlett screamed, “You might as well rob me!”

“You can choose not to sign.” Molly’s expression remained unchanged.

Scarlett’s breath hitched, a sense of loss filled her heart.

Sign, she didn’t dare not to.

Money can be earned again, once life is gone, all that’s left is seeing the King of Hell.

…

Molly brought this news and rushed to the Gallagher’s home.

The Gallagher household was bustling that day, lights brightly lit.

All kinds of relatives of the Gallagher family had come uninvited, all waiting in the living room.

Apparently, Michael Gallagher was coming.

The Gallaghers didn’t expect that not only Michael didn’t die, but he was also returning to the family.

Bailey Gallagher, dressed in his little suit, sat upright in a chair. His adorable face looked serious. Given his young age, he couldn’t conceal his excitement.

Uncle Michael was returning!

Ever since Michael Gallagher “died”, he had taken on the responsibility to take over the Gallagher family, but there were too many side branches of the Gallagher family. The company also had many elders who simply didn’t accept him.

He knew he was too young and it wasn’t a surprise that they didn’t yield to him.

It was thanks to Uncle Brian Lewis’s help that they managed to stabilize the situation.

But he was still young after all. Many things that seemed simple were difficult to him.

Like accounting, and those specialized things, which were too hard for him to learn.

He only had a kindergarten diploma, how could he handle such difficult problems?

But now it’s different. Uncle Michael didn’t die. He was coming back. Bailey could finally lay down these heavy burdens and go to school!

“Young master, Mr. Gallagher has arrived.” The housekeeper walked in from outside cheerfully.

As these words were spoken, the entire living room fell silent.

Michael Gallagher had arrived!

The real authority of the Gallagher family was going to show up!
