To Be Yours Again Chapter 16 Can We Talk?
After all, Old Mr. Faust was part of the Faust family. He would be on Alec’s side without a doubt, not to mention that she and Alec were already divorced. Even if they hadn’t divorced, Old Mr. Faust might also not do his best to help her.Although Jenny understood this, she didn’t tell Stephanie immediately. Instead, she decided to let her have a good night’s sleep. Stephanie went back to her room to sleep, but Jenny struggled. She needed to be prepared for the worst.Jenny was up the whole night trying to come up with solutions, which caused her dark eye circles to become extremely obvious the following day. “What were you up to last night?” Stephanie exclaimed when she saw her. Jenny stared at herself in the mirror as she used concealer to conceal her dark circles.“Nothing. I just didn’t sleep well.”“Jenny,” Stephanie suddenly called, “I’m sorry for making you worry about my family’s business.”Upon hearing this, Jenny turned around to look at her and said thoughtfully, “If you’re
To Be Yours Again Chapter 17 Walter, Not Walker
Alec continued, “Such a shame. Her plan is going to fail miserably. What makes her think that I will listen to my grandfather?”Jenny came back to her senses. She was slightly taken aback. So, Alec thought Stephanie had gone to see Mr. Faust last night?She recalled how Warren always addressed her as “Miss Walter.”It appeared that Alec must have misunderstood. It was Walter, not Walker. Unfortunately, he didn’t know that. She found it kind of funny, but she couldn’t get herself to laugh after hearing what Alec had said. Alec meant he wouldn’t let the Walker family off the hook. “Is there no way to get around this? Mr. Faust, don’t you think that ending your collaboration with the Walker family just because of this is a little too capricious?” She really couldn’t understand how Alec could be so irrational.“I always get my way. Do you have a problem with that, Dr. Walter?” He sneered, ignoring what Jenny had just said. Seeing him like this, Jenny realized there was perhaps no room for

At Parrington Hospital.Jenny had just got off work when she received a call from Gilbert. After finding out that he was waiting at the hospital's main entrance, she quickly changed and rushed over.“Gilbert.” When she saw the man leaning against his car not far away from her, she smiled and waved at him.Soon, she arrived in front of Gilbert, “Gilbert, why did you come here all of a sudden?”“You wanted my help, didn’t you? I came over once I received the news.” Gilbert flashed a smile at her with affection in his eyes. Jenny was shocked to hear this. “So soon?”“Yup.”After he finished speaking, Gilbert handed Jenny the document he had prepared earlier. “This company is interested in purchasing that batch of items from the Walker family. You should get them to contact the company.”“This…” Jenny held the document in disbelief.This fast?“Gilbert, you’re way too efficient,” Jenny couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.Gilbert patted her head and said, “You asked me for a favor. Of
To Be Yours Again Chapter 19 Friends?
The three of them fixed their gazes on Alec. Jenny prayed that he would refuse since she really didn’t want to sit together and have a meal with this man.It would totally affect her mood.“You decide,” he said. That wasn’t the answer Jenny wanted to hear.Jenny was speechless. “Dr. Walter, Alec is fine with it. What about you?” She looked at Jenny smilingly.Jenny was super reluctant. She shifted her gaze to Gilbert. “What do you think?”She kept giving Gilbert hints with her eyes, but instead, he said, “I’m okay with anything.”“Okay with anything? Gilbert, what are you trying to do?” Jenny thought.Faye and Jenny sat next to each other, while Alec and Gilbert sat across them. Alec was sitting right opposite Jenny, so she could see his face every time she looked up. This made her feel extremely uncomfortable. “Dr. Walter, is this your boyfriend? He looks like a great guy. No wonder you didn’t want me to introduce anyone to you.” Staring at the posh-looking Gilbert opposite her, Fay

In Gilbert’s car, Jenny received a call from Zack. “The Faust Group is now teaming up with the Lawrence family.”“The Lawrence family?” She was stunned. “Yup. The Lawrence family seem to be very close to Alec. Almost everyone in Parrington knows the family has Alec’s support, so they have been doing quite well these two years.” After saying that, he asked in a puzzled tone, “Why did you ask me to investigate this? Did that bastard Alec upset you again?”“No reason. I was just curious why he suddenly stopped working with the Walker family,” Jenny said. “That’s good. If he bothers you again, remember to tell me. I will beat him up.” He hadn’t let go of the fact that Jenny had wasted two years of her life with that man. Jenny smiled and burst into laughter upon hearing this.“Alright.”After hanging up the phone, Jenny looked out of the car window. She sometimes felt that she was fortunate. Although she didn’t have any parents, her grandfather brought her up and took great care of her
To Be Yours Again Chapter 21 Who’s That Woman?
The following night.The charity dinner was held at the Majestic Hotel. It was organized by the top magazine in Parrington, BQ Magazine. When Alec arrived, the hotel entrance was surrounded by all sorts of paparazzi and reporters as he got off the car.“BQ Magazine is so privileged to get Alec Faust to come!” someone exclaimed. After all, everyone knew that Alec had not always been a fan of this kind of event.“I know, right? Too bad we can’t go in and check it out. The charity dinner tonight must be interesting,” another person said pitifully.“Who’s that woman beside him? Could she be Alec’s girlfriend?” Some people noticed that Alec didn’t attend alone. He brought along a plus-one, and many were surprised about this.Upon hearing the news, everybody else only noticed Faye standing next to Alec. It wasn’t that they purposely ignored her. It was just that Faye was too ordinary-looking, so she didn’t manage to capture their attention at first. Unfortunately, Faye didn’t know the truth.
To Be Yours Again Chapter 22 Going Against Him
Next to Gilbert stood a woman wearing a pearl-white gown. She looked exceptionally elegant with her long hair, scarlet-red lips, and perfect white teeth. Except for the exquisite bangle on her wrist, she wore no other accessories. But even so, just her standing there was enough to captivate the crowd.Alec was no exception. He was stunned by her beauty every time she appeared. Although he had already decided not to inquire about her, he couldn’t help but want to learn more about her. “Mr. Hawthorn,” Mr. Nelson greeted him with the broadest grin on his face. However, he wondered, “What’s going on? How come all the big shots decided to show up today?” Gilbert nodded in response, “Mr. Nelson, I hope we’re not intruding on your dinner?”“Of course not!” Mr. Nelson shook his head. He couldn’t help but glance at Jenny, who was standing beside Gilbert.“This woman is so pretty. I wonder what her relationship with Gilbert Hawthorn is. Maybe I could sign her as a model for BQ Magazine?” he t

Faye noticed the subtle change in Alec’s mood and started to feel very anxious.Jenny ignored Alec and Faye. She whispered to Gilbert, “I wonder when they’re going to auction off the goods I sponsored.”She was pretty curious about what the bids would be. “It’s still early. Mr. Birkett hasn’t released any new work on the market for so many years. Your painting is going to be the finale,” Gilbert replied.Afterward, he shook his head helplessly and said, “Are you sure it’s not going to be a problem giving away Mr. Birkett’s painting just like that?”“He’s my mentor. Surely he won’t beat me up for this?” Jenny pouted. “Besides, he already gave me that painting. Of course I have the authority to deal with it.”“That’s true. You’re his mentee. I don’t think he will blame you for it.”“Why, of course. Mr. Birkett adores me.”The two of them spoke softly, so Alec couldn’t hear what they were saying. He could only tell that they were enjoying the conversation. Inevitably, he found it annoyin

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
To Be Yours Again Chapter 1397 Gilbert and Marigold (72)
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
