"Sounds fruitful." Jenny smiled.Evan beamed. "What about you? What've you been up to all these years?""Me?" Jenny pointed at herself. "I'm sure Gilbert filled you in with everything. I didn't get up to much either."Evan disagreed, though. Jenny's life was much more colorful than his, what with her marriage, divorce, then relationship with Alec Faust, in that exact order. But he didn't mention it. He wouldn't pry if Jenny didn't want to talk about it.Their conversation continued until twilight, then Evan went to the kitchen to make dinner. Jenny's offer of help was swiftly turned down—she was even asked to make herself at home as if she was the guest.Evan finished preparing dinner in half an hour, with two mains and two sides immediately placed on the table. Jenny gave him a thumbs up, in awe of his cooking skills.The two were just about to eat when the doorbell rang.Jenny's heart sank briefly. It wasn't Alec, was it?"I'll get it." Evan went to open the door before Jen

Not seeing the need to worry further now that Vincent knew his boss had a plan in mind, he changed the topic. "Well, sir. This is the info on the shares you wanted me to look up. Unfortunately, most of them are reluctant to sell."Faust Group was still churning out dividends annually, so the shareholders wouldn't sell their rights off that easily, even if Alec were to offer a great price."As expected." He didn't mind. Those shareholders would be scrambling to sell their shares once something happened to Faust Group later. "What about those projects?"Faust Group was a large company handled by an equally large family. Alec doubted all their projects were acquired by clean hands. All he needed to do was do some digging for dirt to come up.Vincent nodded and handed Alec another sheaf of documents. "Many issues turned up for two projects in particular. I've listed them out for you here, sir.""Thank you. You can leave it here." "Do you plan to use these to take down the other Faus
To Be Yours Again Chapter 925 Dying Young
Only after seeing Evan off did Jenny spot Alec's messages. She sent him some texts in response, but the next second, the man was already giving her a call."Had dinner yet?" Alec asked, exhaustion evident in his tone. He was still busy with work, it seemed.Jenny hummed in assent. "Mhm. What about you? You're not skipping meals again, are you?"Alec didn't dare answer. He did skip dinner; he'd forgotten about it due to work.Jenny sighed. "You need to take care of your health, Alec. Aren't you worried about dying young?"She didn't bother sugarcoating her words. She'd seen too many cases of people overworking themselves to the point of being hospitalized for passing out. Seeing Alec make the same mistake upset her."I wasn't worried back then. Now I am." Alec truly hadn't been worried before he met Jenny. He lived life alone then, after all. But now, the thought of never being with Jenny again only pained him.Jenny didn't get what he was implying, however. "Then regulate your w
To Be Yours Again Chapter 926 Wow. Polite.
Alec went right up to Jenny's apartment the moment he came up to his floor. "Come on in. Dinner's ready." Jenny stepped aside to let him in."Did you make these?" Alec asked in surprise, seeing the food on the table."No, no. These are the foods you ordered." Jenny didn't intend to lie. She had merely heated up the food Alec sent over.Alec frowned. "You haven't eaten?""I have." Jenny met his gaze, then looked away. "Evan came to visit after hearing I have my own place outside. We had dinner."Alec's expression instantly turned ugly. So that was why Jenny didn't reply to his texts."It was just dinner, nothing special. Don't overthink it," Jenny explained.Unfortunately, Alec was already on the jealousy train. "Really? What I'm concerned about is if you're the one underestimating things."He was sure Jenny knew the kind of expectations Evan held for her. Their dinner was most likely more special to him than Jenny thought.Jenny rolled her eyes. "Are you eating or not? I can
To Be Yours Again Chapter 927 You Worry Too Much
Jenny sighed. "Of course, I do. Everyone deserves respect no matter who or what kind of person they are. You can't just look down on someone because they're not as rich as you, right?" She didn't intend to convince Alec otherwise from his point of view. It was pretty expected for them to have different worldviews. After all, they grew up differently.Plus, it wasn't as if he was ever a bully to everyone. At most, he ignored certain people, choosing not to interact with them instead.Just as Jenny was ready to change the topic, Alec said, "Alright. I'll learn to be respectful to everyone from now on."Jenny shot him a curious look. "What? You don't need to—""Anything else I can improve on? Just let me know." Alec said, gazing at Jenny with a serious expression.Now Jenny really didn't know what to say. After a long period of silence, she finally said, "You don't need to change anything about yourself just because I say so, you know."If Alec changed everything about himself, he

It was nearly noon when Jenny called Stephanie again. This time someone answered, though, to her surprise, it wasn't Stephanie, but a stranger."Is this your phone? You can have it back for five hundy, or I'll toss it into the river." A man's voice came from the other end of the call.Jenny blinked in surprise but swiftly recovered. "Did you find the phone somewhere?""What'd you think? You're not gonna say I stole it, are you? I'm telling you, I didn't steal it. I just found it by the road." The man sounded worried as if he really might get in trouble.Now Jenny was worried. How did Stephanie's phone end up by the roadside?"Do you want it back or not?" "Yes. Send me a location. I'll come to meet you.""Nope. Just send me the money, and I'll have it posted back to you by courier."Jenny scoffed. "What difference would that make? If I wanted to report you to the police, I could track you down just from your bank account records.""You—""If you don't have what it takes, then
To Be Yours Again Chapter 929 Can You Stop?
"What do I have to do for you to forgive me, Stephanie?!" A man yelled from the other end of the call, much to Jenny's surprise. She instantly recognized it to be Paul Wagner, currently pissed off, it seemed."Why should Steph forgive you? You can't expect a simple 'sorry' to make up for all the wrongs that you did, Paul Wagner," Jenny replied, hackles rising.Compared to Paul, Alec was a saint."Jenny? What—" Paul's tone calmed down the moment he heard it was Jenny. "Where's Stephanie? Hand her the phone. This is our personal business we need to settle.""Stephanie lost her phone. I got it back for her."Paul frowned. "Lost it? But I just saw her earlier. How could she have lost it so soon?"He was still at the place he met up with Stephanie, having grown so upset that he couldn't help but call her number again. Now it was Jenny's turn to frown. Something was wrong. "I'll head to her office right now."She then hung up the phone and went over, needing to make sure Stephanie w
To Be Yours Again Chapter 930 Do as I Tell You
There were no cameras at that corner, so Jenny wouldn't know what happened exactly based on the footage alone. She then left for that location, ready to find any clues leading her to figure out what happened.Unfortunately, she found nothing. There was nowhere to hide behind that corner, nor were there any signs of struggle. It was as if Stephanie disappeared into thin air. Jenny went back to the footage, determined to find some clues. Sure enough, she soon noticed a specific van leaving the area.It had stopped by the sidewalk just before Stephanie walked around the corner, then left a little after she disappeared down it. No other person or car has come or left from that corner since.Jenny sent the car plate number to Melissa, who quickly reported that the vehicle attached to the number had long been reported missing, so there were no available leads to track it down.But Jenny didn't plan on giving up. She returned to the footage, rewatching the van and memorizing its feature

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
To Be Yours Again Chapter 1393 Gilbert and Marigold (68)
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
