To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 1361

When Octavius returned to the Bradshaws, Esther was already sitting in the living room. Eli was sitting there, too, and was looking at his phone.

“Back already?” Esther glanced at him. ‘What did Gilbert say?’

At the mention of Gilbert, Eli took his gaze away from his phone and looked at Octavius. He had no idea that Octavius had gone to see Gilbert. Did he really want Gilbert to come back so much?

Eli couldn’t understand why they were still so hung up on Gilbert, even though he was the one who grew up with them. They even wanted to hand the family over to Gilbert. Was Eli that useless in their eyes?

Hatred brewed in his heart, and he couldn’t vent it on Esther and Octavius. He could only direct it toward Gilbert.

“He refused.” Octavius went to the chair and sat, sighing.

Esther frowned, displeasure written on her face. He has the nerve! Does he think Hawthorn Inc is that incredible? He doesn’t know where he stands! ” A plan was already forming in her head. Since Gilbert was so attached to his company, she would go against Hawthorn Inc. Once it was demolished, Esther would see how else Gilbert would stand up for himself. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Octavius could tell what she was thinking and grew concerned. “Do you want to plot against his company? This will only make him more repulsed.”

‘ And what about that? I’m not scared of him.” Esther sneered. ’It’s good for him to have a taste of the Bradshaws’ abilities, just in case he thinks that we’re weak.”

In her eyes, Gilbert refused to come home because he didn’t know of their true capabilities. That didn’t matter. After this, he would know for sure.

Octavius said nothing else. On the one hand, he was powerless to stop anything. On the other hand, he wanted to test Gilbert’s abilities. If he couldn’t handle something like this, devouring the Bradshaws would simply be a fever dream.

“Just let it go if Gilbert doesn’t want to come home, Mom. Maybe he wants to be free.” Eli didn’t want Gilbert to return. If he did, Eli would hold no position in the Bradshaws.

Esther was incensed when he said that. “Would I want him to come back if you would just work a little harder?”

Eli was speechless. He didn’t know what he had done wrong. He was already a hard worker. Besides, the company had so many people employed. He wasn’t needed personally. He could delegate all his work to his subordinates. There was nothing for him to worry about.

However, he dared not say any of this to his mother for fear of provoking her further. He lowered his head, saying nothing more.

Esther grew angrier when she saw him like that. He was trash. She couldn’t understand how a strong person like her would have given birth to such a useless piece of trash.

She slammed the table hard and got up to leave.

Once she left, Octavius looked at Eli. ’Don’t take it to heart. Your mother just can’t process it right now.”

All these years, no one dared to go against her. Esther would not be able to accept it.

“Do I need you to comfort me?’ Eli rolled his eyes. Although Octavius was his father, he did not take him seriously.

’I am your father…”

“I don’t have such a reclusive father as you.” Eli just couldn’t understand why his mother would marry someone like Octavius. Sure, he would only be a househusband, but what was the point? Could she have married someone from a higher status? The Bradshaws could be at a higher level right now if so.
