The Bradshaws quickly recognized Gilbert's abilities. Esther was planning on observing him a little more, but it seemed redundant now. She got Gilbert into her office and said, "Everyone in this company has acknowledged your skills. Hence, I shall try and let you be in charge of this project."
Gilbert was expressionless and didn't react much. It was as if everything was within his expectations.
"However, if you want to take over the Bradshaws, your wife cannot be a nobody. She has to match your status, at least." Esther looked at him. As expected, his face turned sour at the mention of it. She wasn't surprised and went on, "You needn't answer me at once. You can think about it on your own. But I hope that you will make the right decision."
In the end, if Gilbert didn't shake Marigold off, Esther would not entrust the Bradshaws to him. If he didn't get rid of her, that would mean he wasn't standing on the Bradshaws' side. Even if he was capable, she would not dare to trust him.
Gilbert walked out of Esther's office. He had to act fast against the Bradshaws. He would never part with Marigold despite them having never been together.
He left the company and went back to his villa.
Once out of the car, his face turned grim. Right before he came into the villa, he saw a few unfamiliar faces. They were definitely not his neighbors. They looked shifty and suspicious. He could tell at a glance that they were plotting something.
Gilbert had been in Bradshaw Operations recently. Hence, they were not here for him. They probably came for Marigold, but she couldn't have wronged anyone recently. If that was the case, that meant that it was Gilbert who was causing her this trouble.
He called for someone to dispose of these people and to research the mastermind behind them.
It was as he expected. It was the Bradshaws.

Loved the novel!! Hated the ending. It felt rushed to get it finished. I hope there is a sequel. There is a ton of potential for one....
The adds are getting worse! I shouldn't have to see porn to read a book...
