In the end, Esther went with Gilbert's suggestion. However, she did not trade Bradshaw Operation's projects with Jenny. She went with the Silveras.
For one, she did not trust the Walters. On the other hand, the Silveras and the Bradshaws were going to be united through marriage. They deserved to be trusted more.
Gilbert didn't mind. After all, if anything happened to the Bradshaws, the Silveras would not help. With those projects in hand, they would only fall further into debt.
The plan was going smoothly. Gilbert had not gone to see Marigold once. He knew that before subduing the Bradshaws, going to visit Marigold would only endanger her.
After all, Marigold was safe. Nothing had happened, and Caleb was growing up healthily.
One month later, things began to feel off in Bradshaw Operations.
After Faust Group received their money, they did not start the project. No one knew what they were doing.
Esther was feeling antsy. She prodded Gilbert to ask if there was anything wrong with it.
"Oh. I forgot to tell you that the project can't be done. The land beneath the surface is heavy metal. There is no way to build anything on it," Gilbert said indifferently.
Esther shook. She couldn't believe her ears. "What did you just say?"
"Didn't you see the news? The reporters have covered it. That land is barren," Gilbert said, looking like the perfect picture of innocence.

The readers' comments on the novel: To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
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...
