The Marlow family soon found themselves ensnared in a web of troubles and scandals. It was a relentless barrage of bad news, each report more distressing and frustrating than the last. Jackson Marlow sat at his desk, his head in his hands, as one of his subordinates entered the room, his face pale with fear.“Sir, the authorities have just frozen our overseas accounts. They’re investigating money laundering allegations,” the subordinate stammered.Jackson’s fist slammed onto the desk, his face contorted with rage. “How is this happening? How can everything be falling apart so quickly?”Brock burst into the room, his expression mirroring his father’s frustration. “Dad, the media is all over us. They’re saying we’re involved in illegal arms trading now! This is insane!”Jackson took a deep breath, trying to calm his mounting anger. “We need to find out who’s behind this. Someone is orchestrating this chaos.”Another subordinate entered, hesitating before speaking. “Sir, the labor depart

However, Cole’s mother, Mrs. Lawson, who has been quiet all this while, upon learning that Gabriel had no proper job, boasted about her son being accepted into Greenovation Gardens with a salary exceeding $10,000.She spoke, her voice tinged with an air of superiority. "Well, Gabriel, it's commendable that you've been supporting your family, but Cole here has just been accepted into Greenovation Gardens with a starting salary of over $10,000."Mr. Lawson interjected quickly, sensing the tension in the room. "Dear, that's enough. Gabriel's achievements are different, and he has his own successes."Gabriel remained composed, though he felt a pang of discomfort at the comparison. "Thank you, Mrs. Lawson. I'm proud of Cole's accomplishments. Greenovation Gardens is a prestigious company."Cole shifted uncomfortably, sensing his mother's attempt to showcase his achievements at Gabriel's expense. "I'm sorry, Gabriel. My mom gets carried away sometimes."Gabriel smiled warmly at Cole, trying

Mrs. Lawson, feeling Gabriel was just playing and judging by Aliyah's expression, they thought she didn't know what she was saying. So Cole tried to assert that they possibly are not looking to buy such an expensive razor because they don't know about it.Aliyah was about to talk but Gabriel stopped her gently.Mrs. Lawson glanced at Gabriel with a hint of skepticism, clearly not expecting such a knowledgeable response about luxury razors."Imperium razors are quite exquisite," Gabriel explained calmly, his voice carrying a hint of authority. "They're known for their craftsmanship and precision engineering. The brand prides itself on using the finest materials and achieving unparalleled shaving experiences."Cole, attempting to recover from the unexpected turn of conversation, chimed in with a forced chuckle. "Wow, Gabriel, you sure know your razors."Mrs. Lawson nodded slowly, trying to hide her surprise. "Yes, indeed. It's impressive to see someone so well-versed in... grooming."Al

Cole’s parents exchanged astonished glances. Mr. Lawson, attempting to regain composure, remarked, "Well, that's quite impressive, Gabriel. Not many can claim such achievements without making a fuss about it."Aliyah seized the moment to further praise Gabriel. "Gabriel’s support has been a blessing for our family. His humility is something we all admire."Cole, feeling the weight of his parents’ stunned silence, tried to steer the conversation back to safer ground. "That’s really admirable, Gabriel. I guess we all have our own ways of contributing."Gabriel nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. "True, Cole. It’s not about how loudly you proclaim your success, but how effectively you use it to help others."Mrs. Lawson, finally seeing the depth of Gabriel’s character, softened her tone. "It seems we’ve underestimated you, Gabriel. It’s clear you’re a man of substance."Mikelson, still basking in his pride, added, "Gabriel’s not just a son-in-law to me; he’s like a son. His action

Mikelson led Mr. Busy into the house. Aliyah, who was facing the entrance, saw them approaching and noticed the new visitor.Gabriel, too, noticed Mr. Bush, sensing the unusual commotion. "Is everything all right, father-in-law?" Gabriel asked, glancing between him and Mr. Bush."Gabriel," Mikelson said, still in shock. "This is Mr. Bush, president of Mass Jewelry. He’s here to see you."Gabriel extended his hand. "Mr. Bush, it's an honor to meet you."Mr. Bush shook his hand firmly. "The honor is mine, Gabriel. I've been looking forward to this meeting for quite some time."Gabriel, ever composed, welcomed Mr. Bush's effusive praise with a gracious smile. "Thank you, Mr. Bush. I appreciate your kind words."Mr. Bush, impeccably dressed in a bespoke navy blue suit adorned with a subtle pattern of intertwined gold threads, continued to shower Gabriel with admiration. "Your achievements precede you, Gabriel. Mass Jewelry has been keeping a close eye on your endeavors. Your entrepreneuri
