Jenny was taken aback by his proposal. Eyes wide in disbelief, she stared at him. "Drive to Bardoff City?"

"Yeah." He nodded, thinking it was not a big deal as long as she was down for it.

A long silence later, she shook her head. Although she was worried about Zack and wanted to be back in Bardoff City, driving late at night was taxing and posed a risk of an accident. She wouldn't put them through it. "Let's sleep. We can book the earliest flight tomorrow morning." She went back to bed, but it was destined to be a sleepless night.

At a general ward in Bardoff Hospital, Janet finally opened her eyes. She was temporarily disoriented when she saw the unfamiliar environment. Soon, she recalled the events before losing consciousness, and tears welled up in her eyes. She stumbled out of the room and realized she was in a hospital. That gave her a sliver of hope. If she was in the hospital, did that mean she and Zack were saved?

She hurriedly stopped a nurse and asked if another patie

    When the lights of the emergency room sign went out, Gilbert shifted his gaze away from Janet, relieving her from the pressure, even if it was for a while. She followed behind him, listening to him asking the doctor about Zack's condition."He's not in critical condition, but we'll have to see how he fares in the next 24 hours," the doctor answered. Gilbert thanked him and watched the nurse wheel Zack into the ICU. Since he and Janet couldn't enter the ICU, they lingered at the entrance, not intending to leave.Feeling guilty, she offered, "Gilbert, you should head home to rest. I can watch over him." She made the considerate suggestion because she worried that Gilbert would overexert himself. However, he gave her a hard look. "Zack is my brother. I will watch over him."He implied that she would remain an outsider as long as she wasn't married to Zack.She went silent, not knowing what to say in the situation. The air between them froze. They sat at each end of the bench, an ent

    At noon, Janet was back at the hospital on an empty stomach. When Gilbert returned, he found her standing at the entrance to the ICU. He ignored her and called Jenny. He didn't say much after learning that she and Alec had alighted and were on their way to the hospital.“Is Jenny coming?" Janet cast a nervous glance at Gilbert. Although he had never done anything threatening to her, she was fearful of him. In the past, she was fine with Gilbert's aversion as long as Zack loved her. After the incident, she seemed to have lost some of her confidence.Gilbert glanced at her and grunted without offering more details. Since he refused to engage, Janet knew her place and quietly sat by the ICU.Half an hour later, Jenny and Alec showed up at the hospital and hurried to the ICU. There, she saw Gilbert, which angered her. "Didn't you say he suffered minor injuries? Why is he warded here, then?"As a doctor, she knew too well the patient's condition that warranted a stay at the ICU. She rea

    Although Gilbert fought a lot with Zack, he still viewed Zack and Jenny as some of the most important people in his life. He was taken in and raised by Jenny's grandfather as a young orphan; to him, Jenny and Zack were family. Therefore, he would never allow Zack to get in danger for a woman, and he was being civil for not pulling tricks to break up the couple."That's enough, Gilbert. Calm down. I know you care a lot for Zack, but we can't do anything about his relationship. It's all up to him. If he's willing to die for Janet, our protests won't do a thing." After the incident, Jenny finally realized that Zack must have fallen hard for Janet. Why else would he sacrifice his life for her? In the beginning, she thought that the couple might break up due to conflicts after some time, but it seemed that she was naive."I don't think he's that stupid. He'll know that the woman isn't for him after this incident. He won't go back to her." Gilbert sounded confident.Jenny didn't share the

    "You alright?" Jenny was worried at the sight of her pale face. At the end of the day, Janet was not at fault. She and Gilbert merely thought that Janet wasn't suitable for Zack. However, judging from recent events, it would be impossible to separate the two—at least, she had given up on that. She'd rather peacefully accept the fact that she might have Janet as a sister-in-law."I'm good." Janet nodded and forced a smile. Jenny didn't press on, knowing that no one would feel okay given the circumstances. "Where are you going? I'll give you a lift."Janet wanted to turn down the offer, but Jenny insisted, "Get into the car." She held the door open for Janet, and Janet had no way to reject her. Janet thanked her and went into the car.Alec was in the driver's seat, Jenny beside him. Janet settled into the back seat without a word. It was Jenny who finally broke the silence, "Gilbert can be harsh. Don't take his words to heart. As long as you and Zack are truly in love, no one can stop

    The car rolled to a stop in front of Zack's villa. Jenny told Janet, "Rest well. Have a good sleep. Zack might already be awake by the time you're up.""Okay." Nodding, Janet left the car. Jenny let Alec drive away only after she watched Janet enter the villa.On their way back, Alec joked, "I thought you hated her. Looks like you've accepted her.""Well, she must be someone he loves dearly if he's willing to give up his life for her. If so, why should I hate her? I should accept her instead."If she refused to change her attitude, she might alienate herself from Janet, or worse, Zack. Every individual had the right to make their personal decisions. It might not be an acceptable decision at the moment, but sooner or later, people around them would come to accept it."You're quite cool about it." Alec smiled and admired her carefree attitude. Since she couldn't change Zack's decision, she tried to accept it. The world would be simpler if everyone acted this way. She put a hand on

    Everyone knew what Zack was up to. No one called him out or said a thing, saving for a slight snort from Gilbert. Still, Janet felt bad about the incident, especially when she saw how Zack was protecting her in front of everyone. But what else could she do for him? Not only was she helpless, but she might also cause more trouble for him. She hated herself for being incompetent."I've arrested the man who stabbed you. He's not the main problem, but he's backed by the Britts." As Gilbert spoke, he turned to Jenny. He believed the man's connection to the Britts complicated the situation more than they had expected. The man was the club owner on papers, but he was financially backed by the Britts, hence the impudence. Although Gilbert was doing well in Bardoff City, he was far from being as influential as the Ten Elites. Therefore, he'd need Jenny's help with this.Zack felt frustrated because he knew he couldn't take down the Britts. At the same time, he didn't want to trouble Jenny. "I

    Jenny could tell that Gilbert was upset. She quickly added, "Gilbert, I know you're doing this in Zack's best interest. But he's an adult now. We can't make decisions for him."He merely waved his hand. "That's enough. You should leave." Then, he trudged ahead and disappeared from her sight. Perhaps, it was time to have a life of his own instead of focusing all his attention on Jenny and Zack. As the eldest, he always acted like a father, worrying they'd date partners who were unsuitable for them.She was woeful at the sight of Gilbert leaving. "Was I too harsh to him just now?"Alec gave her a back hug and said affirmatively, "No. You were right. It's Gilbert who needs to think about it. He puts himself in the role of a father by disciplining you. But in truth, he's not that much older than both of you, and he never had the experience of being a father. He doesn't have more life experience compared to you. You're not at fault. He's the one who has confused his role."Despite that,

    Janet shook her head while crying. "No one bullied me." No one dared to bully her with Zack by her side. He badly wanted to hug his inconsolable lover, but he was unable to move and was forced to watch on helplessly. "Janet, don't cry. I can't even give you a hug right now."She cried even louder at his remark. "Why are you…so foolish?""I'm not foolish. If I were a fool, I wouldn't have come across a lovely girl like you," he answered with a chuckle, feeling like the happiest man on earth at that moment.She felt his love, but the love had become such a suffocating burden for her. She loved him too, but she believed she wasn't a good match for him. It took her a while to calm down. She patted her eyes dry. "Zack, I'm sorry. You got hurt because of me." She thought an apology was warranted."Janet, we are one. We don't owe each other anything. If I were the one in trouble, I believe you would have rushed over to save me." He didn't need her apology because she wasn't at fault.

    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
