To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 1396 Gilbert and Marigold (71) 

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 to even a little bit of what his brother was up to, he wouldn't be asking this right now.

Zack looked embarrassed and rubbed his nose awkwardly.

“I just went on a vacation with Janet, and we received the invite when we got back.I'm stunned, to be honest."

"Well, you can keep on being stunned.It's best that you don't know." This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

If Zack had been involved, Gilbert's plan might have been ruined.Zack was unhappy.

"You're not even treating me like a human anymore, Jenny."

"That's enough, Zack.Just don't worry over nothing." Jenny brushed it off.

"I'm serious.Even if you find anything out, do not get yourself involved.Everything is going according to Gilbert's plan, got it?"

She was really afraid of Zack affecting Gilbert's plans.Zack didn't want to press on anymore when he saw how serious she was.

"Alright, alright, I've got it.You and Gilbert are always like this, keeping things to yourself and never telling me anything."Jenny was speechless.Were they really keeping things to themselves? It was because they didn't think Zack was dependable.Telling him would only be bad news.On top of that, they knew that Zack was naive.Oftentimes, they just didn't want him to plunge into danger with them.As they spoke, the party had already begun.Gilbert and Lottie stood together.They actually looked rea ly good together.However, Jenny could tell that Gilbert was not interested in Lottie.Although he looked at Lottie, his gaze was mostly cold.

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for attending my son, Gilbert Hawthorne's engagement party.Besides the engagement, I have something else to announce.Something big.From today onwards, my son will be the vice president of Bradshaw Operations.Please be goad to him in the future."

Afterward, applause erupted.

They were all singing praises.

With their praises, Esther looked at Gilbert in satisfaction.

This was the son she always wanted.He was brilliant, capable, and had won the people’s hearts.

As for Eli, he was nothing in her eyes.She would just treat him like a house sitter.She had already decided Eli's fate.But as of now, Eli was looking at Gilbert with intense venom and hatred in his eyes.

What right did Gilbert have? Eli had worked in Bradshaw Operations for so long, but he was still just a manager.

No one in the company looked up to him.

But what about Gilbert? He had become the vice president immediately upon his arrival, and everyone was rooting for him.

Eli hated it.He was not going to let it go so easily!
