That very afternoon, Esther and Gilbert rushed to Faust Group to sign the deal. Gilbert said he was worried that Alec would change his mind, so he urged Esther to sign it. Only through a written contract would they be able to relax. Esther thought it made sense and agreed to rush to Faust Group with Gilbert.In the meeting room, Alec looked at the two people before him, expressionless. "You have a good son, Mrs. Bradshaw." "I'm flattered. My son had Bradshaw Operations' interests at heart. He'll inevitably be a little insensitive. Please don't hold that against him, Mr. Faust." Esther smiled. She didn't mind Alec's sarcasm because it didn't matter. As long as Bradshaw Operations could truly benefit from this, she didn't care how much Alec mocked her. Alec smiled coldly and slid the contract over to her. "You may flip through it." Esther took it and read through it seriously.If this project succeeded, they would reap massive rewards. However, it required a massive upfront inv
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 wro
That afternoon, Gilbert called off his engagement to the Silveras. He did not pick up a single one of Lottie's calls. When he found Marigold, she was taking Caleb on a stroll around the neighborhood. It had been a while since she'd taken notice of anything related to Gilbert. She suddenly felt how nice it was to have her mental energy spent somewhere else, no longer being so hung up on that man. However, when Gilbert appeared before her, her heartbeat quickened. "Why are you here?" Marigold said, snapping out of her reverie. Gilbert smiled lightly. Without saying much else, he pulled her into an embrace. "Didn't you say that I could come to see you once everything is settled?" Marigold was stunned. She was in disbelief. "So, what you're saying is it's all over?" "Didn't you read the news?" Gilbert was speechless. "No. I didn't want to care." Every time she saw anything about Gilbert and Lottie, she felt miserable. She'd rather save herself the pain and block out anything
Jenny Walter walked out of the divorce court with a divorce decree in hand.Warren Duncan, her butler, looked somewhat embarrassed as he said, "This is for you from Old Mr. Faust, Miss Jenny."Then, he passed her a bank card. Even though he didn't explain what it was for, Jenny understood.She was a little taken aback. After a moment, she responded, "There's no need for this. Please thank him for me. I am grateful for his care for the past two years."With that, she headed to the street and entered a black Maybach that had been waiting a while for her. She felt a little frustrated when she saw the people in the car. "It's just a divorce. Why are y’all so nervous?""Did you really get a divorce?" asked Zack Chandler, who was in the driver's seat. He turned around to cast her a skeptical look.Nodding, Jenny chuckled, "Look at my divorce decree. It's still warm from the printer."She produced the document from her bag and waved it before them."Lovely!" said Zack, laughing aloud. "You s
On the next day, at the president's office of the Faust Group, Vincent Duncan hung up the phone. He turned to look at the man sitting behind the desk, who was preoccupied with work."Mr. Alec, I received a call from home informing us that the divorce decree has been issued."The words did nothing to stop Alec's hands from busying themselves with work. "Okay. How much money did she want?""Warren said that she didn't ask for a single penny."Hearing that, Alec frowned immediately. "Not even a single penny?""Yes, Warren told me that Old Mr. Faust wanted to pay her a sum of money, but she refused it." Even Vincent, who was Alec's assistant, was surprised by the turn of events. After all, according to his sources, Jenny was from the countryside and was very likely from a poor family. Why did she ask for nothing?Alec stopped paging through the documents as he pondered for a moment. Finally, he said, "Find out where she is and give her the house in Charmford." His ex-wife had been quie
Jenny frowned immediately. She turned to Morgan and said, "Check the patient's condition and let me know if any help is needed.""Okay, I'll do that!"Within five minutes, Morgan rushed back to Jenny's office. "Dr. Walter, please take a look at the patient. His condition seems very se—"Before Morgan could finish her sentence, Jenny was already out of the office, walking toward the emergency ward. Soon, they both arrived there, where they saw a group of people gathered. Faint sobs could be heard from the crowd."Please save my husband, Doctor! I'm begging you! He's only 45 years old! I can't live without him!""Don't worry, we are running an examination on him right now. We'll only understand his condition when the test results are out."Seeing that, Morgan tugged Jenny along as she squeezed through the crowd."Excuse me! The doctor is here."Hearing that, the patient's family members gave way to her quickly, allowing her into the emergency ward."What happened?" Jenny asked immediate
"I'm Alec Faust, the president of Faust Group. If I vouch for her, is that enough for you?" he asked, looking at the patient's wife. Alec from Faust Group was here! There was a mixture of panic, curiosity, and disbelief on everyone's faces. While they may not know Jenny, they all knew who Alec was.Staring at Alec, who often appeared on TV, the patient's wife finally nodded. With such an influential person vouching for Jenny, she figured that Jenny must be a skilled doctor.As they wheeled the patient into the operating theater, Jenny gave Alec a nod before heading inside. Although she was curious why he suddenly showed up to vouch for her, she didn't have time to ask any questions. After all, saving her patient's life was the focus.As the lights in the operating room turned on, a group of people huddled at the door to wait, with Alec among them.Three hours later, the lights in the operating theater dimmed, and a nurse finally exited the room. Immediately, the patient's wife rushed
"I don't blame you for not understanding medical law, Mr. Faust. However, I must inform you it prohibits me from practicing outside my place of registration, which happens to be Parrington Hospital, so...you understand, right?" Usually, she would provide a shorter explanation. However, for the sake of her patient, she was willing to go to further lengths."So, you can't perform the surgery in a private hospital?" he asked."Exactly." Jenny didn't want to ruin her career for him. Alec fell quiet. He had not expected such a regulation. "If there's nothing else I can help you with, please allow me to excuse myself. But Mr. Faust, please do make a decision soon."Seeing Alec's hesitation, Jenny knew he didn't want to transfer Faye to Parrington Hospital because he lacked faith in their facilities and services. Since that was the case, there was nothing she could do.Soon, Jenny disappeared from his line of sight. Vincent approached him, asking, "Did Dr. Walter agree to perform the surgery
