That night, Marigold was so happy that she couldn't sleep. When she woke up the next morning, the dark circles under her eye frightened Gilbert."What happened? Were you unwell last night?" he asked with concern. He thought it was because she was not feeling well that she had trouble sleeping.Marigold was too embarrassed to say she could not sleep because she was too happy. Therefore, she brushed him off by saying, "It's fine. I stayed up too late playing on my phone.""That's ridiculous. You're no longer allowed to stay up late playing on your phone." Gilbert glared in annoyance. "You heard me?""Alright. I got it." Marigold nodded. She thought that he had already started reprimanding her before they got together. It would be worse if they were together, wouldn't it?However, why did she still feel a little happy about it?Both of them sat down to have breakfast together. Gilbert would have to leave the villa after breakfast. "Are you going to Bradshaw Operations today?" Marigo
The Bradshaws quickly recognized Gilbert's abilities. Esther was planning on observing him a little more, but it seemed redundant now. She got Gilbert into her office and said, "Everyone in this company has acknowledged your skills. Hence, I shall try and let you be in charge of this project."Gilbert was expressionless and didn't react much. It was as if everything was within his expectations."However, if you want to take over the Bradshaws, your wife cannot be a nobody. She has to match your status, at least." Esther looked at him. As expected, his face turned sour at the mention of it. She wasn't surprised and went on, "You needn't answer me at once. You can think about it on your own. But I hope that you will make the right decision." In the end, if Gilbert didn't shake Marigold off, Esther would not entrust the Bradshaws to him. If he didn't get rid of her, that would mean he wasn't standing on the Bradshaws' side. Even if he was capable, she would not dare to trust him. Gi
There was a knock at his door, and Gilbert quickly turned his phone off.Marigold pushed the door open. She felt concerned for him when she saw him at his desk. "Are you still busy? Are the Bradshaws purposely giving you all this work to upset you?"These days, Gilbert left home early and came back late. He was busier than he had been in his own company."No. I'm fine." Gilbert was not fine, but he couldn't tell her that. She would only worry.Right this moment, a text arrived on his phone. He glanced at it, and anger began ripping through his chest.It was from Esther. She said that since Gilbert had made his decision, he would have to make Marigold move out of his villa. Gilbert was furious. He thought that Esther had no business interfering with his matters. However, he suppressed his emotions. He had to take down the Bradshaws. Otherwise, he and Marigold would not live in peace. Since he had a decision made, he had a plan. But Marigold would have to suffer for a while.Ther
Marigold moved to Jenny's house the next day.Jenny and Alec's married home was a villa that was not too big. Alec said it felt more like home, and Jenny didn't have an opinion about it. The only space they'd need was really just the bed, regardless of the size of the house.However, because the villa was not that large, it wasn't ideal for Marigold, her child, and the nanny to live in. There was a man in the house, after all. With no other choice, Jenny had to get Alec to sleep in another house.Alec was grumpy about it. He only relented after Jenny promised to have a child with him once this Gilbert and Marigold ordeal was over.That was right. After seeing Gilbert's child, Alec felt for the first time that children weren't that bad after all. In fact, they might even look really cute. Though, of course, it would have to be his and Jenny's child."I'm sorry for bothering you, Jenny." Marigold was embarrassed when she knew that Alec had to move out.Jenny waved her hands quick
For the next few days, Marigold stayed in Jenny's house. Gilbert had not come to visit once. It made her notice that something was amiss.But every time she thought of it, Jenny would comfort her and say that she was sending Gilbert pictures of Caleb every day, which was why Gilbert didn't come to see him.Although Marigold knew that something was up, she didn't press on. She believed that Jenny would not hurt her. If she still held a grudge about what happened the last time, she would have taken her revenge long ago. She would not have waited until now.But Gilbert's non-appearance was still making her worried.Her worries quickly became a reality. She soon found out on the Internet.That day, she was going through her phone after a play session with Caleb. Suddenly, a news article appeared on her main page. "Bradshaw Operations Heir's Rumored Marriage with the Silveras."Bradshaw Operations heir?The headline attracted her attention. If she was not mistaken, Gilbert was the
"Say something, Marigold. Don't scare me." Jenny was panicking now. Marigold looked upset, yet she was saying nothing, which greatly concerned Jenny. She didn't know what was happening, but because of this, she was very worried.Marigold scoffed. She didn't want to beat around the bush. "You didn't make me come here because you wanted to see Caleb, did you?""Marigold…""It was Gilbert's idea, wasn't it? He wanted to marry the Silveras, so he got an excuse to send me away, didn't he?" Marigold felt as though she had seen through everything.Jenny's face grew solemn. When news of the Bradshaws and Silvera's marriage came out, Gilbert had gotten someone to delete them immediately for fear of Marigold seeing them. They had done this for the past few days, and it was a pretty good trick. However, she still saw it.She placed a hand on Marigold's shoulder and said, "Marigold, do you think my brother is the type to fall in love easily?"Marigold said nothing. Her emotions were in turmo
In the Bradshaws' villa, Esther looked at Gilbert with conflicting emotions. Her son was brilliant. Although she hadn't given him much authority, some board members had already suggested training him to be the successor. She used to worry about convincing them to accept him, but she seemed to have worried for nothing. But for whatever reason, the more brilliant he was, the less bold she was. She couldn't help feeling troubled."How are things between you and Lottie lately?" Esther asked."Pretty good," he answered. In truth, he hated her. However, he hadn't expressed it. Lottie didn't sense it, and Esther naturally wouldn't, either.Esther nodded in satisfaction. The Silveras were like the Bradshaws. They were considered to be of the same social standing. On top of that, Lottie seemed nice, which was why Esther had chosen her.However, she still felt worried."Why is the news about you and Lottie deleted? Was that your doing?" Esther's gaze sharpened. She stared at Gilbert as
At night, Gilbert drove to his villa. He got out of the car and went straight to his room. Then, he took out his phone and called Jenny. When Jenny called him earlier, Esther was right in front of him. He did not pick up for fear of arousing her suspicions, which was why he had waited to come home before calling her back. She picked up quickly. Gilbert learned that Marigold already knew about everything, and instantly, he felt a headache coming. "Alright. I'm coming right now. Keep an eye on her. Don't let her leave the house." Gilbert knew that it was dangerous for Marigold to be alone right now. Esther had not given up on targeting her. It was only because she was in Jenny's house that the woman had no chance to strike. After the call, Gilbert went downstairs. But before he got to the door, he paused in his footsteps. If Esther was suspicious of him, she would undoubtedly have someone spying on him. If he went to Jenny's place, it would further increase her doubt. It was no
