Chapter 7 Reaching an Agreement, the Unreconciled Gould Family!

In big families, conflicts of interest have never been decided by one person alone.

Even though Stone is now the head of the Gilbert family, getting his daughter to successfully inherit the family still faces considerable resistance.

Besides ensuring that Shelley won't marry someone else and turn the entire Gilbert family into someone else's subordinate, he must also make everyone see that Shirley has outstanding enough abilities.

Only then will Shelley Gilbert be qualified to compete for the position of family head and become the new leader of the entire Gilbert family.

During the time Shirley was out of her mind, the other Gilbert family members who were qualified to compete for the position of family head hadn't been sitting idle.

They had all been secretly consolidating their power, and some had already started getting involved in the family business, performing quite well.

Now that Shirley wants to become the new family head, she really shouldn't be distracted by other matters.

She must put all her energy into the family business, so she won't fall behind in the competition.

In this case, Blake's identity is indeed a natural shield.

"Dad, if you can convince Blake not to have sex with me, I can agree not to divorce for now!"

Seeing his daughter relent, Stone Gilbert smiled brightly.

"Don't worry, leave this to me. I'll handle it!"

With that, he eagerly turned and left, afraid Shirley might change her mind.

"Blake, don't take what Shirley just said to heart. Shirley has a strong personality, and before she gets to know you, she's bound to have some misunderstandings."

"But I just convinced Shirley, and she agreed not to divorce you for now. However, during this time, you two can only treat each other with courtesy and cannot have sexual relations!"

"I know this is asking a lot, and it might even be unfair to you, but I believe in your abilities. Maybe it won't be long before you can win Shirley over!"

Stone spoke while closely observing Blake's reaction.

Seeing Blake's eyebrows furrow slightly, Stone quickly added.

"By the way, before Shirley officially accepts you, we won't interfere with your private life. That means even if you fool around outside, as long as it doesn't become too scandalous, we won't care!"

"Blake, I really think highly of you, and I believe with your abilities, you can definitely win Shirley over. So, can you give our family a chance, and also give you and Shirley a chance?"

After Stone finished speaking, Blake nodded accordingly.

"Let's do it this way then."

"I also know that matters of the heart can't be forced. Giving each other some time like this isn't bad!"

For Blake, he definitely wouldn't give up on Shirley easily.

The wolf king bloodline in his body was becoming increasingly restless.

If he couldn't find a partner with a special bloodline to merge with soon, the consequences would be unthinkable.

After searching for so many years, he finally came across Shirley.

Giving up like this naturally wasn't his style.

Stone's proposal suited him perfectly, so naturally there was no reason to refuse such a suggestion.

"Excellent!"

"Then it's settled. This card has 1 million euros in it. Take it and spend it however you want. If it's not enough, just tell me. Consider it compensation from our Gilbert family!"

Stone pulled out a bank card from his pocket and excitedly handed it to Blake.

With Blake's wealth, he naturally didn't lack this money.

But why refuse something that's free for the taking?

"Then thank you, Mr. Gilbert!"

As the two reached an agreement, news of Shirley's recovery spread throughout Paris at an unimaginable speed.

All the major families that had previously refused to arrange marriages with the Gilbert family were now beating their chests in regret.

A fully conscious Shirley's value was self-evident!

They had missed out on a gold mine!

Some unwilling families made amends, hoping to re-establish marriage arrangements with the Gilbert family and become Shirley's husband.

Faced with these people's attitudes, Stone's stance was very firm.

He directly informed all families that Shirley already had a husband, and they should give up on this idea!

This attitude made countless people curious, wanting to see who was lucky enough to marry the Gilbert family's precious daughter.

Blake Reed's name also entered everyone's ears at this time.

"Damn it!"

"That bastard Blake not only wasn't harmed, but actually got a great deal. Shirley actually regained consciousness, this is infuriating!!"

"Rodney, look at the terrible idea you came up with. Quickly think of a solution, or I'll skin you alive!"

In the Gould family, Nelson's expression was extremely unpleasant.

He had thought sending Blake to the Gilbert family was a clever scheme to kill with a borrowed knife.

Next, they would just need to sit back and reap the benefits.

Not only could they establish connections with the Gilbert family, but they could also completely eliminate Blake, this major threat.

But the current situation had completely spiraled out of control.

Shirley had unexpectedly regained consciousness, and the Gilbert family had accepted Blake as her husband. This was a total loss!

"Sir, I think this matter is easy to handle!"

"The Gilbert family originally asked our family to provide someone to marry Shirley, but Blake is not a member of our family. As long as we let the Gilbert family know this, I believe with Mr. Gilbert's temper, he'll definitely annul the marriage and blame Blake for this, and we can take this opportunity to let George remarry Shirley!"

Rodney hadn't expected Blake to be so lucky either, but he didn't show much panic.

There's a saying that what's fake will always be fake and can never become real!

Originally, the Gilbert family wanted a member of the Gould family.

But Blake Reed is a member of the Reed family and has no connection to the Gould family.

As long as they could clarify this point, Blake's fate would still proceed according to their original plan.

Nelson nodded, his expression still dark.

"You handle this matter personally. If you mess it up again, I guarantee you'll regret it!"

Rodney patted his chest and confidently promised.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this matter perfectly!"
