Chapter 1367 Gilbert and Marigold (42)
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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs 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.
In her opinion, the reason Gilbert rejected her advancement was simply that he had fallen
for someone else, and the person might have been Marigold. She had heard that Gilbert
had rejected Marigold before, but who could know what actually was going on? In any
case, it was Marigold who gave birth to Gilbert's child and was staying with him. Who
could accept that?
Marigold didn't know the women who approached her. However, she figured that people
who attended the gala were not common folks. She didn't wish to cause any trouble for
Gilbert, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I am from Parrington."
"Parrington is a small place, isn't it? What is it like compared to Bardoff City?" Lilith
Krueger added. Her eyes were clearly filled with scorn.
Before Marigold could reply, she heard Lilith's follower say with a smile," Lilith, are you
joking? How could a small place like that be comparable to Bardoff City?"
As soon as she said that, the other women laughed with her. In their eyes, Marigold was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏman ugly duckling from a rural place. She was not presentable at all.
Marigold rolled her eyes at them and ignored them.
She didn't answer them, but Lilith was provoked by her gaze. She said," What's the
matter? Did we say anything wrong? People from rural places are just so rude. You got
pregnant even before you married the man. Do you think you could tie a man down like
that? What a bitch!"
Lilith wasn't happy with Marigold, to begin with, so she certainly would not be polite to her
at that moment.
Marigold initially thought of not creating trouble for Gilbert, so she didn't mind her even
though she could tell she was mocking her. Lilith was just saying a few things that were
harsh to the ears. Marigold could put up with it.
However, Lilith seemed to be getting more and more overboard. Therefore, Marigold
couldn't hold it in any longer.
