"Absolutely not. That woman believes she can bully and swindle the Wade family? She's delusional. Hmph! Marrying that useless man, Gabby Willow, doesn't give her power over us," Old Wade scoffed before striding towards the company's exit.As they reached the company parking lot, they encountered Gabriel, who had just parked his car. He cheerfully greeted them, "Father-in-law, brother-in-law."Gilbert regarded Gabriel with contempt, his animosity towards the Wilson family intensifying even further. "You deceitful Wilsons think you can outsmart us, but we see right through your schemes. Don't even dream of taking the company for yourselves," Old Wade shouted with red-rimmed eyes.Gabriel was taken aback by the fierce expression on Old Wade's face. He hadn't anticipated such vigour from the elderly man."Dad, please, don't engage with him. He's just a worthless member of the Wilson family, living without purpose," Gilbert intervened, restraining his father from confronting Gabriel. He kn

After accompanying Mrs. Wilson and Elena to the hospital and confirming that they were merely in a state of shock, Gabriel decided to head back home, have dinner, get some rest, and then prepare to head to the office early the next day.Upon his return, he was met by Lucy, who had hurried back upon learning about her mother and sister's hospitalization. She had been trying to reach Gabriel but received no response."Gabriel, where did you take Mom and Elena? I've been trying to call you for ages, but you never answered," Lucy exclaimed as soon as Gabriel walked into the house.After removing his coat, Gabriel reassured Lucy, "I left my phone at home when I took Elena and Mom to the hospital. There's no need to worry; they're both fine, just a bit shaken up. Nothing serious happened to them."Despite their frequent arguments about her choice of partner, Lucy still harboured a deep love for her mother. She insisted, "Gabriel, I won't be at ease until I see Mom and Elena for myself. Plea

Elena and Mrs. Wilson were taken aback by Old Wade's public statement, especially in front of a group of journalists."That's nonsense, Old Wade! Everyone in Jade City knows that my former son-in-law is missing. How can you claim he's dead? Do you have information about his whereabouts? Have you contacted the Jade City police to confirm anything about my former son-in-law?" Mrs. Wilson's eyes widened as she fought back tears, using a white handkerchief to wipe them away. "Jayson was a wonderful son-in-law; he deserves justice. If you have any knowledge about his death, please inform the police so they can conduct a thorough investigation and determine the cause of his death."Old Wade's face reddened as a vein bulged. He hadn't expected Mrs. Wilson to respond so boldly, twisting his accusation.Elena, having secretly bribed some journalists, subtly directed their attention toward Old Wade just as he was about to speak. As he began, seven journalists descended on him with fervour, bomb

Gilbert attempted to reach each of the gatekeepers in succession, but none of them answered his calls. Even if they had, they wouldn't have been able to leave their posts to open the gate.Filled with anxiety, Gilbert reached out to the pest control agent and exclaimed, "Take down the gate, take down the gate!"Old Wade's eyes widened as he swiftly grabbed the phone, but the call had already ended. He glared at Gilbert, shocked that his own son would issue such a preposterous command.Through gritted teeth, Old Wade repeated, "Take down the gate?" He pointed accusingly at Gilbert and scolded, "Gilbert, have you lost your mind? Do you realize how much that gate cost? Are you going to pay to fix it with your own money? They could have climbed over the fence; you're being incredibly foolish!"Gilbert swallowed hard as his father reprimanded him, but one of Wade's sons spoke up: "Dad, Gilbert is worried about our safety if we get bitten by those snakes. We could end up dead who will spend

Mrs. Wilson reentered the living room accompanied by her grandson, Peter, and Elena. Frantically scanning the room for Gabby Willow, her panic spiked when she spotted him lying on the floor.Rushing to his side, Mrs. Wilson quickly confirmed that he was still breathing before calling out for the butler. "Mom, Dad just fainted; what happened to him?" Peter's voice trembled with fear as he watched his father with deep concern.Meanwhile, Elena looked on with indifference, her response lacking any sense of urgency. "Nothing will happen to him; let's send him to the hospital," she remarked, her tone casual and unaffected.As the doctor reassured Elena that her husband was in a stable condition, she displayed impatience, seemingly disinterested in the cause of Gabby Willow's collapse."Can I see him now?" Elena inquired, her mind seemingly preoccupied with the thought of returning home to rest."Certainly," the doctor replied with a smile, granting her permission to visit her father.Accom
