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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“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.”
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!
