To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1361

When Octavius returned to the Bradshaws, Esther was already sitting in the living room. Eli was sitting there, too, and was looking at his phone.

"Back already?" Esther glanced at him. "What did Gilbert say?"

At the mention of Gilbert, Eli took his gaze away from his phone and looked at Octavius. He had no idea that Octavius had gone to see Gilbert. Did he really want Gilbert to come back so much?

Eli couldn't understand why they were still so hung up on Gilbert, even though he was the one who grew up with them. They even wanted to hand the family over to Gilbert. Was Eli that useless in their eyes?

Hatred brewed in his heart, and he couldn't vent it on Esther and Octavius. He could only direct it toward Gilbert.

"He refused." Octavius went to the chair and sat, sighing.

Esther frowned, displeasure written on her face. "He has the nerve! Does he think Hawthorn Inc is that incredible? He doesn't know where he stands!" A plan was already forming in her head. Since Gilbert was so attached to his company, she would go against Hawthorn Inc. Once it was demolished, Esther would see how else Gilbert would stand up for himself.

Octavius could tell what she was thinking and grew concerned. "Do you want to plot against his company? This will only make him more repulsed."

"And what about that? I'm not scared of him." Esther sneered. "It's good for him to have a taste of the Bradshaws' abilities, just in case he thinks that we're weak."

In her eyes, Gilbert refused to come home because he didn't know of their true capabilities. That didn't matter. After this, he would know for sure.

Octavius said nothing else. On the one hand, he was powerless to stop anything. On the other hand, he wanted to test Gilbert's abilities. If he couldn't handle something like this, devouring the Bradshaws would simply be a fever dream.
