Chapter 274 - 273: Daydream Becomes Reality
But he quickly dismissed the thought.
Why was he still having such dreams?
James Leaford shook off the wishful thinking in his head until Molly Walker spoke up–
“Uncle, it was not the Jenkins family who helped out the company.” A clear laugh was gradually appearing on her pale face. “I did.”
“What did you say?” James Leaford, his eyes wide in disbelief, was filled with shock to the brim.
Molly Walker advanced, her rosy lips curled up slightly, laughed with confidence and candidly: “I am a senior executive of the ‘W’ organization. The organization has intervened to solve this issue. You can rest easy. The Jenkins can no longer threaten you, and Cousin won’t be forced to marry anymore.”
Upon hearing this, James Leaford was stunned for a long time.
He caught Molly’s eye, moved forward excitedly and stuttered: “Molly, is that true? You are a part of that organization?”
As he spoke, James’s eyes were glistening with tears.
His emotions have fluctuated too many times today. He thought his tears had already dried up, but upon hearing this message, his tear ducts were stimulated again.
Molly chuckled.
His reactions, were a mirror image of Zoey Lambert.
Mr. and Mrs. Leaford, cluelessly watching, but they understood Molly’s words.
“Molly, did you solve the company’s financial issues?” Mr. Leaford leaned on his crutch, strode over, a look of surprise and excitement on his wrinkled face. “How how could you be so capable?”
Mrs. Leaford struck her husband’s shoulder, scolding him. “What are you talking about? Our Molly isn’t capable? Don’t forget, she’s our granddaughter.”
Mrs. Leaford patted herself on the back. She thought of her capable daughter, Amanda Leaford, and couldn’t help but beam with pride. “Don’t forget, Amanda was very exceptional from the start. If she hadn’t married Daniel Thompson, she would have taken over the company.”
Mr. Leaford remained silent for a moment, squinting and reminiscing about the past.
Amanda was exceptional from her youth, particularly in management. The Leaford family had no preference for men over women. Amanda had started managing the company immediately after her graduation. If she hadn’t married Daniel Thompson, she would probably still be running the company.
Mr. Leaford looked at his granddaughter again, nodding his head approvingly: “Molly, you have done great service to our family, and your grandfather is very happy!”
At his age, all he wanted to see was a room full of descendants who were successful. Now that he saw Molly single-handedly solve the company’s crisis, his aging heart felt young again.
It took James Leaford quite a while to accept this reality.
“Molly, haven’t you paid a lot for this? I heard that the ‘W’ organization charges a lot of money for their jobs ” James was slightly worried.
Molly knew about his concerns and dismissed it with one sentence: “I’m a senior executive of the organization and senior executives have the right to help their family once a year free of charge as part of our organization’s benefits.”
She said the lie without any hesitation or guilt.
James Leaford finally let out a sigh of relief and got all excited.
His very niece is a senior executive of the ‘W’ organization, what a blessing! This is a real jackpot!
Just then, a shareholder, Mr. Lambert, called. James suppressed his enthusiasm and answered.
“Mr. Leaford, what time are we going to the Jenkins family tomorrow?”
They had decided tonight that they would go to the Jenkins’ the next day to explain the situation to Mr. Jenkins. If Mr. Jenkins didn’t compromise, then the company would go bankrupt.
“Go to the Jenkins’ ” James immediately snorted in contempt, “Go to hell!”
When they heard the cuss word on the phone, Mr. Lambert on the other side thought he had heard wrong: “Mr. Leaford ?”
Then, he heard James Leaford deliver a passionate speech:
“We’re not going anywhere tomorrow. Let’s find a restaurant and celebrate!”
Celebrate ” Mr. Lambert’s mind went blank, “Mr. Leaford, even if the company is in trouble, you can’t just throw your money away like this. We are all family men. No matter how much life is in despair, we have to keep going ”
“Did you think I went crazy?” James lowered his voice, grinned, and burst out laughing. “Hahaha, yes, I’m crazy happy. Do you know? My niece is a senior executive of ‘W’ organization. You know what that means, right? She solved our company’s crisis with just one sentence ”
“Mr. Leaford ” Mr. Lambert awkwardly interrupted, “Are you alright?”
A senior executive of “W” organization is his niece?
What is the “W” organization and how is it possible for them to get involved with their company?
Mr. Leaford is under too much pressure, and it seems like he is hallucinating.
Thinking about the future of the company, Mr. Lambert sighed worriedly.
With a boss who was losing his mind, the company surely wouldn’t last long.
“Mr. Leaford, take a good rest. Let your mind relax, don’t think too much.”
Merely thinking wouldn’t make it reality.
Hearing Mr. Lambert’s words, James Leaford realized Mr. Lambert didn’t believe him.
“Mr. Lambert, I’m not just making things up. Please inform everyone else. Tomorrow, we do not have to go to the Jenkins family. My niece has handled the company’s issues and it has nothing to do with old Jenkins.”
In front of his family, James Leaford didn’t hide his displeasure towards the Jenkins family.
Mr. Lambert still didn’t believe James but, seeing James being so certain, he couldn’t help but sigh and hang up the phone.
After hanging up, Mr. Leaford’s face was filled with triumph and pride. He looked at Molly Walker with teary eyes.
“It’s late. You should all go rest. We can talk about everything else tomorrow.”
Seeing James like this, Molly nodded and smiled.
She didn’t mention that she was the leader of the organization. She didn’t want to overwhelm the family.
Seeing that James had finally put down his worries, Molly felt relieved.
The morning light rose, dazzling in its brilliance.
At the second-hand car market, a car with a damaged front stood in the very centre.
“Master Norman, this is the car you’ve been waiting for, but it will cost a lot to repair because the front is damaged. Have any interest?”
Jeremy Norman stood beside the car, listening to the sales manager’s introduction.
After his father had received a call from the ‘W’ organization, he was so scared he wasted no time in lifting his son’s punishment.
Initially, he wanted to see Molly right away, but she was in the hospital and asked him to come by later. So he wandered off to the second-hand car market.
Most of the luxury sports cars worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars were traded at the second-hand car market. Even if the front of the car was damaged, as long as the driver’s cab was fine, someone would take it.
He had his eyes on this yellow Lamborghini for a long time, but the owner had never been willing to part with it.
He gently touched the car’s front. It seemed to have collided with a large vehicle. The damage was severe, but it should look like new after being sent in for repair.
“Leave it here, I’ll come to pick it up after it’s repaired.” After one more look at the car, Jeremy decided to buy it.
Meanwhile, Michael Gallagher was lying in a hospital bed, receiving a message from the housekeeper: “Young master, the car has been sold.”
