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

Chapter 491: Chapter 486: Scarlett Jackson Changes Her Surname
Scarlett Jackson was about to continue cursing, when a hand blocked her way.

The person grabbed her and warned her with a glance.

It was Jerry Jenkins.

“I’m sorry, Miss Jackson’s body and mood haven’t recovered yet. Today’s interview will end here, but I hope that what happened today won’t spread. For friends who are willing to sell their interview materials to me, you can go directly to the Jenkins family for compensation. Consider it a favor owed by Jerry Jenkins.”

With these words, the anger of the journalists stirred up by Scarlett Jackson slowly subsided.

They had all seen various situations, and they were all willing to give face to powerful people.

Seeing the relaxed expressions of these people, Jerry Jenkins sighed in relief.

Scarlett, this fool, wouldn’t be a problem if she only acted stupidly. But now, the Jackson and Jenkins families were one. If she loses face, he loses face too.

He hasn’t fully taken over the Jenkins family yet. If Scarlett drags him down, his plans for all these years might be ruined.

Not far away, Molly Walker stood watching them with interest.

She was glad she didn’t miss this drama.

Anything that made Scarlett Jackson feel aggrieved, she enjoyed watching.

At this moment, a sharp-eyed journalist spotted her.

“Molly Walker! It’s Molly Walker!”

“Molly Walker… Ahhh! It’s really Molly Walker! Heaven!”

“Miss Walker, could I ask you a few questions? Just a few questions.”

In just a moment, everyone rushed toward Molly Walker.

Not expecting to be discovered, Molly noticed it was too late to escape.

After a while, everyone around Scarlett dispersed, swarming towards Molly.

Scarlett’s face turned ugly.

The person she hated most was the woman in front of her.

Seeing so many reporters rushing over and recalling the questions they had asked her earlier, Scarlett was both panicked and anxious.

But in the next moment, what she worried about happened.

“Miss Walker, do you have any grudges with Scarlett Jackson? I heard she lost a bet. What do you think about this?”

“Is Scarlett’s giving you 50 million a sign of her trying to please you?”

…

As expected, these questions they asked her earlier were now being asked to Molly.

Hearing these words, Scarlett was trembling in anger and gritting her teeth.

Molly looked at the labels on the microphones of these journalists and her expression became serious.

Some mainstream media had actually come today.

She took the microphone and smiled, “We do have some grudges. However, she probably never thought of pleasing me, and I suppose she didn’t expect that gift of 50 million either.”

At this point, Molly glanced at Scarlett from a distance, “As for changing her surname, you should ask Olivia Sawyer herself. After all, it was a private bet they made. But I believe Miss Jackson is a woman of her word. Since she lost the bet, she should probably follow the original plan and change her surname.”

At her words, the journalists laughed.

The subject of changing surnames was simply ridiculous, and saying it out loud would make people burst into laughter.

Molly’s words were crystal clear. If Scarlett didn’t change her surname, she would be seen as untrustworthy.

But Scarlett’s attitude today was awful, and they loved Molly’s sarcastic words.

Although the face of the Jin family was important, Molly was now just as popular as the hottest young stars, if not more. Comparing Molly’s popularity and the face of the Jin family, they were more willing to give face to Molly.

Seeing the media’s enthusiasm, Jerry’s face darkened, frowning deeply.

He glanced at Scarlett and felt disgust in his heart.

Every time Scarlett Jackson had a confrontation with Molly Walker, she was easily manipulated by her. Had Scarlett been more tactful earlier, she wouldn’t have offended so many media outlets.

He walked up to Scarlett Jackson and suddenly said, “Let’s put our marriage plans on hold for now.”

Scarlett Jackson was stunned and turned her head, “What do you mean?”

“You want to marry me just to stabilize your family’s company, don’t you? I’ll save your company, but let’s forget about the wedding.” Jerry Jenkins gave her a disdainful glance, “I don’t want to marry a stupid woman.”

After saying this, Jerry barely glanced at her and was about to leave when Scarlett Jackson grabbed his hand, “We’re already engaged!”

“Jerry Jenkins, you… you can’t treat me like this.”

Scarlett Jackson became flustered, “I admit that I was impulsive just now, but you don’t know how offensive those reporters’ questions were. I couldn’t stand it…”

Jerry shrugged off her hand, “You’ve been in the entertainment industry for so long, and you don’t know the nature of reporters? Look at your opponent, Molly Walker, who handles reporters with ease, she’s so much better than you! Now that you’ve offended so many people, if I marry you, wouldn’t that mean I’m making an enemy of the whole world?”

“Scarlett Jackson, take care of yourself.”

Jerry Jenkins left without looking back.

Seeing Scarlett Jackson staring blankly at his receding figure, she felt as if her heart had lost a piece.

But soon, she began to calm down.

She thought of Jerry’s comment about helping the Jackson family.

As long as the Jackson family could hold on, that was all that mattered.

She was bound to expose her affairs with multiple men sooner or later, so when that happened, Jerry would be disgusted with her anyway.

It was better to part on good terms now.

She shifted her gaze back to Molly Walker.

Right then, Molly was watching her, too.

From a distance, Molly’s brown pupils shone terrifyingly bright.

Scarlett Jackson bit her lip, meeting Molly’s gaze head-on and then smiling faintly.

She would take everything back from Molly Walker.

No matter how many aliases or how established they were, she had nothing left to fear. If Molly insulted her again, she would make sure Molly paid the price.

The next day, “Scarlett Jackson changes her name to Olivia Sawyer” became trending on social media.

Molly was browsing her cell phone and almost laughed out loud when she saw the hot topic.

Zoey Lambert and Natalie Lambert were even more absorbed in the news as they occasionally asked Molly questions, hoping to fully enjoy the gossip.

Just then, Amanda Leaford walked down the spiral staircase.

“Molly, I need to go back to Sunnydale.” Amanda forced a smile, “I want to divorce Daniel Thompson and need to go to Sunnydale to go through the divorce process.”

Molly’s hand holding her cell phone paused, and she stood up, “Okay, I’ll go with you. Michael Gallagher and I need to go to Sunnydale for business anyway.”

Hearing that Molly would accompany her, Amanda’s worried heart calmed down.

Her courage came from the recent encouragement from her children to pursue her happiness.

She used to think that getting a divorce at her age would be a laughingstock, but now it seemed that her children supported her, and she couldn’t dwell on the past forever.

Seeing Amanda determined, Molly felt relieved.

Actually, whether Amanda got a divorce or continued her life with Daniel Thompson, it was her parents’ business, and Molly wouldn’t interfere.

But since Amanda had decided to divorce, Molly couldn’t do much else except accompany her.

“Okay.” As if remembering something, Amanda patted her hand, “By the way, there is a banquet tonight. It’s held by a friend of mine from Capital City, and all the famed ladies from the business world will attend. I will go and give her support. She’s heard about your affairs and wants to meet you, too. If you’re free, bring Michael Gallagher along.”

“Auntie, which family is it?” Zoey Lambert’s ears perked up, and she hurried closer.

“The Tian family, Carter Harrison, do you know him?”

“Sounds familiar.” Zoey’s eyes lit up as she hugged Amanda’s arm, “I’ve been cooped up for so long, I want to go too. Aunt, can you find a way to take us with you?”
