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.

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.

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 an 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 marriedContent is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

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.
