Chapter 1338 Gilbert and Marigold (13)
Soon, Marigold emerged from the fitting room wearing a red cocktail dress. Due to her illness, her
complexion hadn’t been great. The vibrant color of the dress somehow brought some color back to her
skin, making her look less washed out.
‘How does it look?” Marigold asked cautiously. She couldn’t remember thest time she’d worn such a
ringly red dress.
‘It looks great. This is the one,” Jennymented with an appreciative nod.
“But…isn’t it too red?” Marigold wondered if wearing red might be too shy for a baby’s naming
ceremony.
Just as Jenny was about to speak, someone beat her to it. “How funny. One would think you’re a
hooker in that striking red dress.”
Hearing the voice, both Jenny and Marigold turned their heads. Jenny frowned as she didn’t recognize
the person, but Marigold called out,” Eleanor!”
Eleanor Wagner was the second daughter of the Wagner family. If it weren’t for Marigold, she would
have been the most prominent daughter of the Wagner family. Hence, she had always targeted her
since their childhood. However, Marigold had never been afraid of her because she had Paul backing
her up.
Eleanor was eager to step all over Marigold as she’d heard of thetter’s voluntary disassociation from
the Wagners. On top of that, Marigold hadn’t returned to the Wagner residence for an extended period
of time. So, she didn’t pose much of a threat to Eleanor at the moment.
“Aren’t you shameless? Giving birth out of wedlock is one thing, but moving into that man’s house
without any status or name is uneptable! You’re embarrassing not only yourself but also our family!’
After a slight pause, she added, “It’s no wonder Father didn’t like you. You’re truly disgusting.” Eleanor
crossed her arms, proudly raising her chin as if speaking to someone inferior.
Marigold wasn’t one to back down. Although she didn’t want trouble, it didn’t mean she was a
pushover. Staring at Eleanor for a moment, she sneered, “He did like you, but it’s a pity he didn’t take
you away with him.”
’ Marigold!” Eleanor was furious and raised her hand, intending to strike.
Jenny, who had been observing the situation from the side, couldn’t just stand by. She stood up in a
sh and grabbed Eleanor’s wrist. “How dare you raise your hand against my sister-inw?”
With just one sentence, not only was Eleanor stunned into silence, but it also left Marigold frozen in
ce. She could care less about Eleanor stirring up trouble for her at the moment. Instead, she
couldn’t help but focus on Jenny’s choice of words.
“Your sister-inw?”
Was that Jenny’s own idea, or was it something Gilbert had said?
’Has your brother married her? They aren’t even a couple for all I care!” Eleanor didn’t dare toy a
hand on Jenny, but she wasn’t willing to give up either.
“So what if they’re not married? She’s one of us now. Do you think the likes of you cany a hand on
her?” Jenny didn’t know who Eleanor was, but from this brief encounter, she disliked the woman very
much.
Under these circumstances, she would naturally stand up for Marigold.
Even so, Eleanor was unwilling to ept defeat. ’Miss Walter, my brother and your husband have been
good friends for many years. Shouldn’t you be on the Wagners’ side?”

’So?” Jenny raised an eyebrow scornfully, finding her words somewhat ridiculous.
“You shouldn’t take her side,” Eleanor stated.
Jenny couldn’t help butugh mockingly, looking at Eleanor as if she were looking at a fool. “Paul and
my husband are indeed good friends of many years, but so what? How can you be so sure that Paul
shares the same opinion as you? Tell me, does he know you came here to humiliate Marigold?”
Jenny believed that Paul still regarded Marigold as his sister and probably wouldn’t allow anyone from
the Wagner family toe and cause trouble for her.
Indeed, upon hearing those words, Eleanor’s expression changed, and she instantly shut up like a
