Bradshaw Operations?
Gilbert seemed to be considering Octavius’ words. Octavius’ eyes lit up, feeling that he had piqued Gilbert’s interest.
“Besides the property that everyone thinks we have, we have a lot of property hidden under the radar. If we were to compare, the Bradshaws would not be worse off than the Fausts,” Octavius said.
Gilbert smiled lightly. He looked at Octavius in amusement. “You seem very interested in Bradshaw’s property.”
Octavius went quiet. Frankly speaking, why would he willingly marry into that family if it weren’t for their property? Despite his courteousness to Esther all these years, he was still not respected in the Bradshaw family. Their inheritance had nothing to do with him.
Outsiders thought he was living the good life, but Octavius knew he was no more than a rug to the Bradshaws.
He knew he had no hope, but he didn’t want to give up. He would be happy to see Bradshaw Operations falling into Gilbert’s hands in the end. No matter what, Gilbert was his son. Biologically speaking, that meant that he was part of Octavius, too.
As for Eli, even if Gilbert weren’t found, it would be difficult for Eli to inherit Bradshaw Operations with his bastardly character. There were no fools in the Bradshaw family.
Gilbert’s smile held a note of intrigue. “Since you want the Bradshaws’ property so much, why don’t I lend you a helping hand?”
“What do you mean?” Octavius frowned, feeling unhappy. Even after saying so much, Gilbert didn’t seem very interested in the Bradshaws’ property. Gilbert leaned against the sofa and looked at
Octavius in contempt. ‘You can help me spy on the inner workings of Bradshaw Operations, and I’ll devour them whole. When that time comes, I’ll cut you a percentage of the shares. You will not worry for the rest of your life, and you’ll have tons of cash in your hands.”
Octavius couldn’t believe that these words were coming from Gilbert’s lips. He widened his eyes, stunned. “Why would you do that?”
As long as Gilbert so much as nodded, he would be able to inherit the Bradshaws. Wouldn’t it belong to him he have to make things so difficult? On top of that, did he even have the power to devour the Bradshaws?
“I don’t like being called a Bradshaw. I like being a Hawthorn.” He wanted to change the Bradshaws’ name to that of his.
Octavius was in a daze.
“You can consider it slowly. There’s no rush. I have plenty of time.” Devouring the Bradshaws was easier said than done. Gilbert had to put a lot of time and effort into preparing for it.
Octavius looked at the person before him. He could see that Gilbert was not joking. He truly wanted to devour the Bradshaws.
Octavius retracted his gaze. He looked solemn and a little angry. “What makes you think that I’ll help you? I’m living quite well already in the
Bradshaw family.”
“Really? Do you honestly think relying on your wife for everything is great?” Gilbert could read him like a book. Octavius’ eyes had lit up when he spoke of the property. Gilbert was sure that Octavius had been after the
properties when he married into the family but was not expecting Esther to be so capable. She hadn’t given him the slightest chance to infiltrate the inner workings of Bradshaw Operations.
And after so many years, Octavius was stuck where he was. He was getting a little panicky.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
