"I think Grace is the easiest one to deal with. You should apologize to her. Be sincere, and try to build a good relationship! with her. If she says something harsh, endure it. You have to find a way to win her over Helen warned Mandy. "Mom, don't worry, I will find a way to get us back into the Gilbert family! But what if that old woman refuses to accept us before she dies? Do you have any other way to get the inheritance? Mandy asked, She was now a bit worried about Tracy's condition. From the looks of it, her health wasn't good

If Tracy died, they would lose the chance to inherit the Gilbert family fortune. The inheritance would go to Zach and Grace,

g outsiders.

"There is!" Helen replied coldly. That would be for everyone in the Gilbert family to die!

Once the Gilbert family members were gone, they could legitimately take over the Gilbert family and inherit everything

But this was a last resort. If Helen truly went down that path, she would have to eliminate all of them. She wasn't confident enough, nor did she have the power to do so, so she dared not take extreme measures. If she was caught, it would cause a lot of trouble, and she wasn't ready to risk that,

After recovering a bit, Elvira prepared to return to the company. Zach insisted she rest, but she was determined to go and promised not to overwork herself.

Zach confirmed with the doctor that it was okay for her to return to work. The injury was on her leg and wouldn't affect her much, and her wound was healing well enough for normal activities.

Only then did Zach agree to let Elvira go back to the company. Their offices were on different floors, so it would be easier for him to take care of her.

Elvira wasn't rushing back because of any urgent matters with her company. Cole had been managing the company well in her absence.

She had overheard Zach on the phone, and it seemed like there was a problem on his side that needed his attention. He hadn't wanted to get involved because of her, but it sounded like things were getting serious. So, Elvira rushed back to the company, not wanting to delay Zach's work.

After settling Elvira in her office, Zach returned to his own office to handle an urgent meeting about a major issue at a construction site in the West District,

When Cole heard that Elvira had returned, he immediately came to her office. Seeing her in a wheelchair, he frowned and asked, "Why aren't you resting at home? The company is in good hands with me." Elvira smiled at him. "It's too boring at home. I trust you with the company, you're the person I trust most."

Hearing her words, Cole's expression softened. He approached her, squatted down to her level, and asked, "So, do you trust me more, or do you trust Zach more?"

Elvira was taken aback by his sudden question and didn't know how to answer.

Cole smiled when he saw her expression and said, "I was just joking. If you need anything, ask me. Should I help you over?"

"No need, I can walk on my own. Zach worries too much about me," Elvira replied with a smile.

"What good is his worry? How many times has he already let you get hurt?" Cole muttered, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness "What did you say? Elvira didn't catch his words, as his voice was too soft

"Nothing I'll help you over. You're pregnant now, so you really need to take extra care, not just for yourself but also for the babies Cole then helped Elvira to her desk. "Yes, I must protect my babies" Elvira was being extra cautious, always worrying about hurting the babies while walking, fearing regret if anything happened, "I'll protect both you and the babies, Cole said,

Elvira sat down and looked at him with surprise. She didn't quite understand what he meant. Se thought it should be Zach's responsibility to protect her and the babies.

"I'll go get you something to eat and drink. You're a pregnant woman, and you'll get hungry quickly," Cole said, leaving the

room.

Elvira watched his back thoughtfully. She felt something was off about Cole, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it w She couldn't help but feel that Cole had changed drastically. Still, she firmly believed that no matter how he changed, he would never harm her.

Grace looked at Mandy coldly. "You've been following me."

"Of course not, I just happened to run into you and wanted to say hello," Mandy awkwardly and sincerely explained.

"You think we're at the point where we just casually say hello?" Grace replied icily.

"We're sisters, so saying hello is natural. Besides, it was my mom's mistake back then. I was just a clueless child and couldn't choose my background. You have no reason to hate me, right?" Mandy said, looking innocent.

"Who told you that I hate you? Don't get ahead of yourself. I don't care if you're innocent or not. I have no relationship with you. Just don't come to bother me," Grace replied, tired of dealing with them.

I just want to apologize. I was wrong last time. No matter what happened with the older generation, we were just innocent kids. I shouldn't have treated you badly. Grace, let's reconcile," Mandy said.

Grace was speechless, thinking Mandy was out of her mind. She never showed any intention of reconciling. She didn't hate them, but that didn't mean she had to like them.

"It's impossible for us to reconcile. I don't hate you, but that doesn't mean I don't dislike you. Just stay out of my way. Move! Grace warned, her patience running thin.

Mandy was furious at being rejected, but remembering her mother's warning and the inheritance at stake, she forced herself to smile. "Grace, we're sisters. Let's reconcile. We should address these issues for the sake of our elders." She added, "The Gilbert family needs us to work together in the future. If we keep fighting among ourselves, won't outsiders take advantage?"

Mandy stepped forward to grab Grace's hand, but Grace could no longer hold back. She pushed Mandy away. "Do you not understand me? I told you to get lost!"

Mandy was knocked back several steps and almost lost her balance. Her face was filled with rage. She had never been treated like this in her life.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Grace!" Mandy yelled, but remembering her mother's words, she suppressed her anger and forced a smile. "Just let me take you out for a meal. Let's put the past behind us."

She continued, "We bear the Gilbert family name and are heirs of the Gilbert family. In the future, the Gilbert family will need both of us to support it. If we keep fighting, won't that give outsiders a chance?"
