Chapter 1045 They'll Misunderstand

Author: Taylor
"We heard the old man's in Bardoff, so we thought we'd visit," Alfred explained, glancing at Mortimer.

That look said it all. It was Mortimer who wanted to see his father.

Jenny stood there, uncertain about whether she should let them in or not.

Alec came to the door to her rescue, though his expression darkened the moment he saw who was standing outside. "What are you two doing here?"

"I want…to see…your grandfather, Alec," Mortimer spoke, words still choppy from not having spoken in so long.

Alec's brow furrowed deeply. "He doesn't want to see you."

"I know you hate me, Alec, but that's my father. Would he really feel that way?" Mortimer asked helplessly.

Alec pursed his lips. In truth, he wasn't sure what his grandfather thought about Mortimer Faust. The old man hadn't mentioned a word of him since he came.

Alfred then said, "He's already come all this way. Just let them meet this once, at least. We can't exactly stop them from seeing each other. It's their business."

    When Stephanie arrived, the sight of the house so packed with people took her by surprise."Uh…" Jenny squinted at Leonard, who was standing behind Stephanie.Stephanie didn't bring him here to get back at Paul, did she?As if anticipating Jenny's thoughts, Stephanie shook her head. "He came to find me right before I left, so I figured I might as well bring him along. You don't mind, do you?""Is that so?" Jenny asked, not buying her words whatsoever.Stephanie rolled her eyes. "What do I get from lying to you, huh?"Jenny huffed but let the two inside the house.Melanie, Jade, and Janet were already getting along in the living room while the rest of the men were huddled around playing cards. The atmosphere was delightfully cheery."Steph!" Melanie waved happily when she spotted Stephanie, gesturing for her to head over.That call instantly invited Paul's attention, who then noticed Leonard by Stephanie's side. His expression turned stormy in a split second.Stephanie was abo

    "You have a quick wit," Paul scowled, glaring at Leonard.The latter smiled but said nothing. He knew Paul didn't like him, but that didn't change the fact that he didn't care.On the other hand, the women were getting along fairly well. Stephanie was excitedly listening to Jade talk about her relationship with Max, deeply admiring it."I'd heard of him back in Parrington, but the rumors and tabloids only spoke about how much of a womanizer he was. I never expected him to change so drastically!" Stephanie said in awe. Love really could change someone!Jade was blushing. "It's not that big of a change. He's still as silly as before."The real change was probably how clingy Max could be. The man had insisted on going to the New Year's Eve gathering with her earlier, and he usually stayed glued to her everyday too, as if he had nothing better to do."Someone's shy," Stephanie teased. Her impression of Jade as a stern workaholic had changed as well. Now Jade seemed more gentle and

    Jenny and Alec had bore witness to the drama from the second-floor landing."Do you think…do you think Melanie has a chance?" Jenny asked with a sigh. Melanie was a kind, sweet girl. Of all the other men in Bardoff City, why did she have to fall for Paul?Alec sighed as well. "An incredibly slim one. Paul doesn't grow affection for someone that easily, and it's even harder for him to lose it."He wouldn't give up even if Stephanie and Leonard ended up dating."Why don't you talk to him?" Jenny didn't want him to continue being a nuisance in Stephanie's life. Plus, Paul would be lucky to have someone like Melanie.Alec shook his head. "You can't force people to like or dislike each other, Jenny.""Alright…fine. I just hoped you could convince him to let it go."Alec nodded. "In that case…I'll try my best."But even he knew his best would amount to nothing.Jenny glanced at the room Old Mr. Faust was staying in on the second floor. It had been some time since Alfred and Mortimer

  • To Be Yours Again   Chapter 1049 Celebrate Next Year

    As the sky darkened and stars lit up among the clouds, Alec's food orders were delivered to his doorstep one after the other, to no one's surprise. It would be unreasonable to expect him to have cooked single-handedly for so many people.The usually-quiet villa was now colored with movement and cheerful sound. The guests all sat together in the dining room around two tables. Old Mr. Faust was pleased by the sight. He had been worried Alec might end up lonely after he passed away, but that worry had now dissipated.It looked like Alec had both friends and those he loved. Old Mr. Faust knew his grandson was in good hands then. The old man seemed to relax just like that, no longer having to burden himself with those worries.As everyone conversed while eating, the warm, bubbly mood continued into the night.Alec, who sat beside Jenny, said, "I hope we can celebrate like this next year too.""Me too." Jenny nodded.Though the future was unpredictable, they both held high hopes for wh

    If Paul really did do something illegal, no way would Leonard hold back. This dinner wasn't sufficient for them to make peace yet.Knowing that, Paul shot the man a final glare before leaving the table.It looked like someone lost their appetite.No one else said anything as he left, all knowing the feud between him and Leonard.Alec was about to leave the table and check on his friend before Jenny pulled him back down to sit. "He's taken care of for now."Sure enough, Melanie rose from her seat and went after Paul. Clearly, Paul had his share of those who cared for him now.Dinner then went on, Paul's absence not seeming to affect it. An hour later, when dinner was over, everyone helped clean up, though no one left afterward. Alec had arranged for an outdoor barbecue session, and since it was New Year's Eve, it didn't make sense to leave before the clock struck midnight now that they were all there.In the study, Alec was staring fixedly at Paul. "You want to do what to Leona

    Of course, Paul didn't. But right now, the distance between him and Stephanie was already unbearably far. It felt like there was nothing he could do to win her back."I still have a chance with Leonard out of the picture. Right now, I'm basically nothing to her!" Paul insisted, having been incredibly jealous and angry ever since Leonard put his hands on Stephanie.Alec shook his head. "Do you really think so? Don't you know just how determined Stephanie can be?"He could guess based on how Jenny was like. If Paul actually killed Leonard, not only would he lose all his chances, Stephanie might hate him for life.Paul seemed to understand that as well. He clutched his head, panicked. "What do I do then? Fucking tell me what to do, Alec? I can't just watch them get closer to each other!"He really couldn't handle it."Do you want to hear my honest opinion, Paul?" Alec said, sad for his distressed friend."No. Hell no. She still loves me. I know she does. She's just angry at me fo

    As the clock struck midnight, fireworks were launched into the sky, bursting into bright, colorful blossoms. Jenny happily admired the view, quietly making a wish for herself.Her wish was for Evan to be able to walk again."Did you make a wish yet?" Stephanie asked.Jenny nodded. "But I can't tell you what it was.""I understand. It won't come true if you do. I made my wish too." Stephanie grinned, staring up at the beautiful light show.After it was over, the guests left one after the other. Stephanie got into Leonard's car, waving goodbye to Jenny. "Bye. Happy New Year, Jenny!""Happy New Year!"The villa soon cleared out, leaving only Alec, Jenny, and Evan.Alec ignored the man and went straight to Jenny. "Happy New Year, Jenny.""Happy New Year." Jenny grinned. "Oh, wait for me one sec."Jenny ran back to Evan's place, grabbing the gift she'd gotten for Alec.Alec didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he watched her run in, glancing at the gift he'd prepared for her.

    After the New Year celebration, Jenny spent most of her time caring for Evan in his villa. Occasionally, Alec would invite them over for dinner. Life was overall good.After the holidays, everyone went back to work. Alec's appointment as the CEO of the Faust Group was explosive news, but at least it put an end to the fight over the position. The stock price soared, proving that everyone had confidence in him.Meanwhile, Alec wasn't too bothered by the harassment from the other families. To him, those were mere inconveniences that needed some time to be settled. After he took over the Faust Group, the Watkins didn't make any move on him. After all, Blake needed to work hand-in-hand with Alec, and it wouldn't make sense to go against him.In the afternoon, Alec was busy at work when he received a call from Blake, who requested to meet up."If you have anything to say, just tell me over the phone. I'm busy." He was reluctant to be in contact with her. He really was busy and didn't wan

    That afternoon, Gilbert called off his engagement to the Silveras. He did not pick up a single one of Lottie's calls. When he found Marigold, she was taking Caleb on a stroll around the neighborhood. It had been a while since she'd taken notice of anything related to Gilbert. She suddenly felt how nice it was to have her mental energy spent somewhere else, no longer being so hung up on that man. However, when Gilbert appeared before her, her heartbeat quickened. "Why are you here?" Marigold said, snapping out of her reverie. Gilbert smiled lightly. Without saying much else, he pulled her into an embrace. "Didn't you say that I could come to see you once everything is settled?" Marigold was stunned. She was in disbelief. "So, what you're saying is it's all over?" "Didn't you read the news?" Gilbert was speechless. "No. I didn't want to care." Every time she saw anything about Gilbert and Lottie, she felt miserable. She'd rather save herself the pain and block out anything

    In the end, Esther went with Gilbert's suggestion. However, she did not trade Bradshaw Operation's projects with Jenny. She went with the Silveras. For one, she did not trust the Walters. On the other hand, the Silveras and the Bradshaws were going to be united through marriage. They deserved to be trusted more. Gilbert didn't mind. After all, if anything happened to the Bradshaws, the Silveras would not help. With those projects in hand, they would only fall further into debt. The plan was going smoothly. Gilbert had not gone to see Marigold once. He knew that before subduing the Bradshaws, going to visit Marigold would only endanger her. After all, Marigold was safe. Nothing had happened, and Caleb was growing up healthily. One month later, things began to feel off in Bradshaw Operations. After Faust Group received their money, they did not start the project. No one knew what they were doing. Esther was feeling antsy. She prodded Gilbert to ask if there was anything wro

    That very afternoon, Esther and Gilbert rushed to Faust Group to sign the deal. Gilbert said he was worried that Alec would change his mind, so he urged Esther to sign it. Only through a written contract would they be able to relax. Esther thought it made sense and agreed to rush to Faust Group with Gilbert.In the meeting room, Alec looked at the two people before him, expressionless. "You have a good son, Mrs. Bradshaw." "I'm flattered. My son had Bradshaw Operations' interests at heart. He'll inevitably be a little insensitive. Please don't hold that against him, Mr. Faust." Esther smiled. She didn't mind Alec's sarcasm because it didn't matter. As long as Bradshaw Operations could truly benefit from this, she didn't care how much Alec mocked her. Alec smiled coldly and slid the contract over to her. "You may flip through it." Esther took it and read through it seriously.If this project succeeded, they would reap massive rewards. However, it required a massive upfront inv

    In the following days, Gilbert headed over to Faust Group infrequently during the day. To others, he was there to talk business with Alec. But in reality, it was a different scenario altogether. Vincent brought Gilbert a cup of coffee in Alec's office. Because of all the times he'd been there, Vincent knew what he wanted without having to ask. Alec had a cup of coffee placed before him, too. Everyone thought that Gilbert was trying to convince Alec to give him one of the shares, which was why he always came there, but that was not the case. The collaboration was a set-up. As long as the Bradshaws signed the deal on the project, they would not escape unscathed. Gilbert had planned this for a long time just to trick the Bradshaws into accepting the project. However, the scheme had to be executed perfectly. Since Gilbert buttered up the project in front of the Bradshaws, Alec had to feign disinterest in his collaboration. Otherwise, it would seem suspicious if Alec, a smart ma

    After the engagement party, Gilbert officially had a stronghold in Bradshaw operations. Because he was already very capable, he had a lot of supporters. No one challenged him in the company. Most of them sucked up to him because they knew that if things went well, he would be the heir of the company.Gilbert didn't really care about that. He didn't even want to be there for long. He knocked on Esther's door and walked into her office."Come, sit." Esther was all smiles when she saw him. It was more sincere than before.She used to doubt him a lot, but now, although she still had her reservations, she mostly believed in him. In her eyes, no one would reject the chance to inherit Bradshaw Operations. This was basically manna from Heaven. Gilbert just didn't know it back then, and now he did. Gilbert sat down in front of Esther and began reporting the information he had gathered, as well as his thoughts on Bradshaw Operations and his plans for the future.When he presented the inf

    Gilbert and Lottie's engagement party was held at Bardoff Grand Hotel on Saturday.A ton of people showed up to their engagement party. After all, the Bradshaws and the Silveras were pretty big names in Bardoff City, and plenty of the other families knew of their true wealth. They all came to attend the party. Jenny and Alec had both received invites. Jenny was Gilbert's sister, and on top of that, they represented the Walters and the Fausts. It was to be expected. At first, Jenny didn't want to go. The party held no meaning to it. It was just a show put on for Esther. It would be a complete waste of her time. However, she was talked into it by Alec. It would be weird if she didn't go. Zack brought Janet to the party. He found Jenny and was in a daze. "Wasn't Gilbert courting Marigold? Why is he engaged to Lottie?" Jenny rolled her eyes. "What have you been doing, Zack? You're really bad at keeping up." Gilbert had been courting Lottie for a while now. If Zack paid attention

    Gilbert drove to Jenny's villa, but he was in no rush to get down. He didn't unlock the doors, either. He obviously wanted to talk to Marigold. But Marigold evidently didn't want to. "I want to take my child and leave." She was afraid. What if Gilbert and Lottie married and took her child away? She no longer believed in love. The only thing she believed in was her child. Gilbert tightened his grip when he heard that. "Marigold, the engagement is only for Esther to see. I have no feelings for Lottie." "Who knows? People change. You said you didn't have feelings for me, too." Marigold found this all very amusing. Perhaps this was fate. Gilbert wanted to keep explaining, but Marigold did not give him the chance to. "Just let me and Caleb leave. If what you say is true, you can come to find us once everything is over." And if Gilbert didn't come looking for her, the truth would unfold itself, and she would give up all hope. Gilbert understood that Marigold had already made

    Marigold was miserable throughout dinner, but she persevered till the end without being too dramatic. After dinner, they walked to the entrance of the shopping mall.Gilbert went to get the car. Lottie stood with Jenny and Marigold. Watching Gilbert leave, she turned toward Marigold. "I heard that you used to like Gilbert very much." "It's all in the past. It's not worth mentioning." Marigold didn't want to talk about it. She was afraid that Lottie would see that she still liked Gilbert. Most importantly, she was afraid that Gilbert's plan would be ruined. Lottie smiled. "That's true. The past is the past. You're such a nice person. You'll definitely be able to find someone better suited for you in the future." Marigold pursed her lips. Gilbert soon brought the car over. Lottie was about to get into the car, but before she did, she suddenly turned to Marigold and said, "Gilbert and my engagement party will be in a few days' time. If you have the time, you're more than welcom

    Everyone was shocked to hear her speak so suddenly. Lottie was stunned, and she explained, "You've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just think that if the child follows his father, it'll help him develop better, and you'll be less stressed." "I don't need your concern. I can raise my child alone," Marigold snorted. She did not hold back at all. Lottie looked unpleasant. Gilbert had no choice but to step in. "We'll have our own child together. And whoever likes it the most will get to keep it." Although they knew that Gilbert had meant this for Lottie to hear, Marigold found it extremely upsetting. She looked at Gilbert, and for a moment, she was unable to tell if he was being genuine. She thought of all that Gilbert had said to her last night, saying that he didn't like Lottie and had no intention of marrying her. But he looked to be truly in love. Marigold didn't think she could tell if he was faking it. "I'm sorry. I need to go to the restroom." Marigold didn't w
