The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce-Chapter 475 - 471: Collided

Chapter 475: Chapter 471: Collided

Thinking of Zachary Jenkins’ attitude toward her, Scarlett Jackson’s heart swayed violently.

She did like Zachary, but his attitude had crushed her romantic fantasies.

She was not naive, and now the Jackson family was at a low point. Forming an alliance with the Jenkins family might be an option…

“Grandfather, I disagree.”

Just when Scarlett was surprised, Jerry Jenkins spoke first: “I don’t want to marry a woman who has someone else in her heart.”

“What about Zoey Lambert?” Mr. Jenkins widened his eyes, his muddy gaze full of disapproval. “So now Zoey likes you?”

“It’s different.” Jerry’s tone was blunt, with a hint of tenderness. “Zoey Lambert doesn’t like me, but I like her.”

Scarlett’s face turned red with embarrassment.

Jerry’s implication was that he had no feelings for her.

If it were before, she would also resist Jerry’s words.

But times have changed…

Zachary Jenkins’ attitude had clearly told her that they were impossible. Moreover, after what happened a while ago, she was no longer a clean person…

Although her father had forcefully blocked the message, she was forever under Ivy Thompson’s control.

Because her father couldn’t keep Ivy quiet.

If the Jenkins and Jackson families were tied together, the Jackson Group would be safe.

She wasn’t stupid; after struggling in this circle for so many years, the importance of her maternal family always came first.

“What about you, Scarlett?” Mr. Jenkins changed the subject and asked her, “What do you think of our Jerry?”

Scarlett glanced at Jerry, ignored his warning gaze, and slowly curled her lips.

“I think Jerry is quite good.”

Jerry…

She changed her mind so quickly.

Jerry frowned; something was amiss.

Scarlett had been so infatuated with Michael Gallagher before, so it was impossible for her to give up so easily.

“Scarlett, some things are better thought through before speaking.” Jerry tapped on the armrest, his gaze somewhat hostile.

He would not marry easily unless it was someone he liked. Even if that person didn’t like him, at least there would be some fun for the rest of his life.

But if he married a woman like Scarlett…

Thinking of her tactics, Jerry felt nauseous.

“Jerry, I know you like Zoey Lambert, but she’s currently looking for a lawyer to sue you. I know you’re not completely indifferent to ‘W’. Grandfather promises you, as long as you unite with the Jackson family, ‘W’ will be yours alone.”

Jerry didn’t speak.

Naturally, it was his dear grandfather who had so quickly penetrated his thoughts.

Grandfather’s words had another meaning: as long as he got “W”, he could have anything he wanted.

Including getting Zoey Lambert…

Jerry glanced at Scarlett and frowned, saying coldly, “I need a few more days to consider.”

Considering…

That meant agreeing.

Mr. Jenkins smiled contentedly.

This grandson was more sensible and easier to control than that brat, Michael.

Michael didn’t care about anything and had no desires. On the other hand, Jerry had many ambitions.

Once a person has desires, they have their weaknesses.

Jerry agreed to unite with the Jackson family under the guise of considering, which was actually a done deal.

“You two go out, I need to rest. When Michael and Ivy Thompson arrive later, there are some things I need to discuss with them.” Mr. Jenkins rubbed his brow in exhaustion.

Not daring to face Jerry Jenkins’ menacing gaze, Scarlett Jackson took the lead in descending the stairs, only to be stopped by Jerry.

“Giving up on Zachary Jenkins so quickly?” Jerry looked her up and down, seeing her evasive gaze and narrowing his eyes suspiciously, “Are you hiding something from us, trying to deceive me?”

Scarlett’s face froze, and she scoffed, “What could I be hiding from you? You’re right, I’ve given up on Zachary Jenkins. Jerry, we both know each other too well, and if it weren’t for helping you pursue Zoey Lambert, I wouldn’t have been retaliated against by Ivy Thompson.”

“Zoey Lambert’s matter is just one of them, right?” Jerry’s androgynous face showed a cold murderous intent, “Don’t think I don’t know about you getting rid of the baby in her belly.”

“It’s not my fault she couldn’t keep the baby, is it?” A sneer surfaced on Scarlett’s delicate cheeks, “If she wants revenge on me for this, it’s simply laughable.”

“Jerry Jenkins, whether you admit it or not, when Ivy Thompson came to me with the drug to retaliate against me that day, she said it was to avenge Zoey Lambert.”

“Drug?” Jerry’s eyes deliberately narrowed, “Did she make you take it?”

Scarlett’s expression was somewhat unnatural, “No.”

She almost didn’t want to recall what happened that day.

She wasn’t a superstitious person, but having relations with so many people… it was really hard for her to mention it.

Jerry snorted coldly.

The fact that Ivy Thompson could bring drugs to her door meant that their quarrel was definitely more than just a simple argument.

Given Ivy’s personality, since she had revealed her “W” identity, she would definitely make good use of it and not let it go easily. Instead, she would “take proper revenge” on Scarlett.

Scarlett pursed her lips and smiled, her thin lips forming a mocking curve, “Jerry Jenkins, I know you like Zoey Lambert, and I don’t intend to replace her, but we can cooperate.”

“Let’s get married. Once we get the ‘W’, you can give me some compensation, and I’ll back out. Then you can marry Zoey Lambert again.”

Jerry did not respond, his long eyelashes drooping as if considering the feasibility of the matter.

It had to be said that the condition proposed by Scarlett was very tempting.

Zoey Lambert was unwilling to be with Jerry now, mainly because she had Ivy Thompson behind her. This also meant that Jerry could not do anything to her, and even a normal pursuit was not possible.

But if Ivy’s “W” organization is gone, everything would become much easier.

…

In a corner of the Jenkins family’s courtyard, the lake surface was calm, occasionally disturbed by the ripple of koi fish.

Michael Gallagher held Molly Walker’s hand, following the path and walking into the mansion.

“If you don’t want to go in, we can leave now.”

Standing at the entrance of the villa, Michael spoke softly, afraid of startling the beautiful woman beside him.

“They’ve never given up on ‘W’.”

“I came here to make them give up.” Molly’s eyes were slightly curved, her eye corners raised, adding a sharp and gorgeous touch to her entire face.

She knew that it was useless for the Jenkins family to give up on just one person, but she always had other ways.

“W” was created by her, while only “J” was created by her master.

If Mr. Jenkins only wanted to take away “J”, that would be fine, but if he wanted to take the entire “W”, he would need her permission.

“Jerry Jenkins has been released.” Michael’s words sent a shiver through Molly’s body.

Just at this moment, Jerry and Scarlett walked out of the door, laughing and talking as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

“So it’s settled then, let’s get married sooner, and it’s best to get the certificate tomorrow…” Scarlett’s words were cut off halfway.

Molly and Zachary Jenkins…

How long had they been standing there?

Scarlett’s throat was dry with anxiety.

She looked at Molly’s sly glance, her heart pounding in fear.

Would Molly reveal what happened that day?

Scarlett timidly glanced at Jerry beside her, biting her lip hard, as if only in this way could she alleviate her nervousness.

If Jerry knew that she had relations with so many people, he would definitely not join with her in marriage.

She glared at Molly, unsure whether to warn or hide from her.

How could it be such a coincidence, meeting here at this time!
