To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1367

The party started very soon. It was only at that moment that Marigold realized it was a charity gala. They were auctioning items donated by the guests to raise funds for the people in a remote area. She didn't mind too much about these. After all, she was only there as Gilbert's date that night. The event had nothing much to do with her.

"You socialize, and I'll find a place to sit." She didn't plan to stick to Gilbert the whole time. After all, she knew very well that events like these are meant for socializing.

Gilbert didn't decline. "Alright. Call me if you need me."

"Mmhmm," Marigold nodded. After Gilbert found a spot for Marigold to sit, he turned and walked toward the crowd. He then started to chat with the guests attending the gala.

Marigold held a glass of juice and ate the finger food in front of her leisurely. She felt it was not too bad. She could just take it that she was here for the free food. However, she clearly underestimated a gala like this.

As Bardoff City's new tycoon, quite a number of people had been eyeing Gilbert as soon as he set foot in the gala venue. He already had a child at that moment, but he was still unmarried. It would not be easy to be a stepmother, but plenty of people would still be willing if the man was Gilbert.

They knew that other than the child, the biggest obstacle stopping them from being with Gilbert was Marigold. After all, she was always by Gilbert's side. It was only natural that they could not stand her.

Therefore, seeing that Gilbert had walked away, a few people approached Marigold and sat on the couch next to her. As soon as they sat down, Marigold could tell they bore ill will in the way they looked at her.

"I heard that you're from Parrington, Miss Wagner," a woman said. She looked attractive and was more than enough to match Gilbert in terms of appearance and family background. However, Gilbert didn't give her any chance at all.

She had always been an it-girl, so of course, she could not accept Gilbert's rejection. However, she would not cause trouble for him. Instead, she locked her target on Marigold.
