Chapter 233 Gilbert's Crush

"Are you talking to me?" Marigold looked at the person next to her. She vaguely remembered Yvonne, having seen her on the news a few times before.

"What's her name..." Marigold wondered silently. "Yvonne? Yeah, that's it."

Yvonne nodded. "Yes. I'm talking to you."

"What are you trying to say?" Although Marigold didn't care about what happened in the Wagners, her gut instincts told her that this woman had no good intentions.

"I think you're hurt because you don't know why Gilbert rejects you." Yvonne smiled lightly, looking as if she cared for Marigold.

Marigold frowned. "You said Gilbert liked someone."

"Yes. In fact, you know her." Yvonne was just waiting for Marigold to take the bait. She couldn't do anything to Jenny now, but that didn't mean everyone else couldn't.

Marigold's eyebrows furrowed. "That's impossible. There's no one by his side, and he's said before that he doesn't like anyone."

"It's not that he doesn't like anyone. He can't let her or anyone knows that he likes her." There was a hint of mockery in her smile. Marigold was even more bewildered by her words. She stared at her, waiting for her to continue. "There is actually a woman by his side. You just haven't considered thinking of them that way." Yvonne was dropping a hint, not saying Jenny's name out loud. She believed that Marigold was smart enough to put two and two together.

As expected, after a moment of silence, Marigold's eyes grew wide. "Jenny? How can that be? They're siblings..."

"They're not biological siblings. I believe you can find this out." Their family names were enough for anyone to make an educated guess.

Marigold was silent. She was still in disbelief. "Even if they're not biological siblings, they're still adoptive siblings. How could Gilbert like her?"

"Why not? Why do you think no other woman has appeared by his side? That's because he has a crush on Jenny, so he doesn't want any other." Yvonne was making things up. She wanted Marigold to hate Jenny as she did.

Marigold didn't take the bait. She was quiet for a while and then accepted it as it was. "Even if Gilbert likes Jenny, they can't be together. I'll just have to wait. I'll be with him one day."

Yvonne seemed dazed by her words. She'd spoken so much, yet Marigold's reaction was less than she had expected. Weren't the Wagners a bunch of devils, doing things underhandedly? But this woman... She didn't give up and continued, "Do you think it's a one-sided love?"

"Isn't that so? Could Jenny like him back?" Marigold couldn't believe it.

"Of course Jenny doesn't like him back. But that doesn't mean she'd reject him," Yvonne said, making the implications clear.

Marigold seemed to understand now. Her face shifted at once. "Is she stringing him along?"

"What do you think? Why would Gilbert persist in his crush if he hadn't seen a glimmer of hope somewhere?"

This time, Marigold didn't retort. She thought it was likely as well. Gilbert was such a brilliant man. Many women liked him, but how could he keep liking Jenny if she didn't even like him back? At the thought of this, Marigold began to hate Jenny.
