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

    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 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 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

    Jenny Walter walked out of the divorce court with a divorce decree in hand.Warren Duncan, her butler, looked somewhat embarrassed as he said, "This is for you from Old Mr. Faust, Miss Jenny."Then, he passed her a bank card. Even though he didn't explain what it was for, Jenny understood.She was a little taken aback. After a moment, she responded, "There's no need for this. Please thank him for me. I am grateful for his care for the past two years."With that, she headed to the street and entered a black Maybach that had been waiting a while for her. She felt a little frustrated when she saw the people in the car. "It's just a divorce. Why are y’all so nervous?""Did you really get a divorce?" asked Zack Chandler, who was in the driver's seat. He turned around to cast her a skeptical look.Nodding, Jenny chuckled, "Look at my divorce decree. It's still warm from the printer."She produced the document from her bag and waved it before them."Lovely!" said Zack, laughing aloud. "You s

    On the next day, at the president's office of the Faust Group, Vincent Duncan hung up the phone. He turned to look at the man sitting behind the desk, who was preoccupied with work."Mr. Alec, I received a call from home informing us that the divorce decree has been issued."The words did nothing to stop Alec's hands from busying themselves with work. "Okay. How much money did she want?""Warren said that she didn't ask for a single penny."Hearing that, Alec frowned immediately. "Not even a single penny?""Yes, Warren told me that Old Mr. Faust wanted to pay her a sum of money, but she refused it." Even Vincent, who was Alec's assistant, was surprised by the turn of events. After all, according to his sources, Jenny was from the countryside and was very likely from a poor family. Why did she ask for nothing?Alec stopped paging through the documents as he pondered for a moment. Finally, he said, "Find out where she is and give her the house in Charmford." His ex-wife had been quie

    Jenny frowned immediately. She turned to Morgan and said, "Check the patient's condition and let me know if any help is needed.""Okay, I'll do that!"Within five minutes, Morgan rushed back to Jenny's office. "Dr. Walter, please take a look at the patient. His condition seems very se—"Before Morgan could finish her sentence, Jenny was already out of the office, walking toward the emergency ward. Soon, they both arrived there, where they saw a group of people gathered. Faint sobs could be heard from the crowd."Please save my husband, Doctor! I'm begging you! He's only 45 years old! I can't live without him!""Don't worry, we are running an examination on him right now. We'll only understand his condition when the test results are out."Seeing that, Morgan tugged Jenny along as she squeezed through the crowd."Excuse me! The doctor is here."Hearing that, the patient's family members gave way to her quickly, allowing her into the emergency ward."What happened?" Jenny asked immediate

    "I'm Alec Faust, the president of Faust Group. If I vouch for her, is that enough for you?" he asked, looking at the patient's wife. Alec from Faust Group was here! There was a mixture of panic, curiosity, and disbelief on everyone's faces. While they may not know Jenny, they all knew who Alec was.Staring at Alec, who often appeared on TV, the patient's wife finally nodded. With such an influential person vouching for Jenny, she figured that Jenny must be a skilled doctor.As they wheeled the patient into the operating theater, Jenny gave Alec a nod before heading inside. Although she was curious why he suddenly showed up to vouch for her, she didn't have time to ask any questions. After all, saving her patient's life was the focus.As the lights in the operating room turned on, a group of people huddled at the door to wait, with Alec among them.Three hours later, the lights in the operating theater dimmed, and a nurse finally exited the room. Immediately, the patient's wife rushed

    "I don't blame you for not understanding medical law, Mr. Faust. However, I must inform you it prohibits me from practicing outside my place of registration, which happens to be Parrington Hospital, so...you understand, right?" Usually, she would provide a shorter explanation. However, for the sake of her patient, she was willing to go to further lengths."So, you can't perform the surgery in a private hospital?" he asked."Exactly." Jenny didn't want to ruin her career for him. Alec fell quiet. He had not expected such a regulation. "If there's nothing else I can help you with, please allow me to excuse myself. But Mr. Faust, please do make a decision soon."Seeing Alec's hesitation, Jenny knew he didn't want to transfer Faye to Parrington Hospital because he lacked faith in their facilities and services. Since that was the case, there was nothing she could do.Soon, Jenny disappeared from his line of sight. Vincent approached him, asking, "Did Dr. Walter agree to perform the surgery

    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
